So with 5 days to go until we set off, I thought this was something I should do. XD
Who?
Emma (me)- 22, Disney obsessive, lover of Frozen, Snow White and Winnie the Pooh.
Charley- 29, not obsessive but extremely excited, hasn't been to Disney since her teens, lover of Mickey Mouse and Princess Jasmine.
Where?
We are staying at Hotel Santa Fe, as this was the most cost-effective option on-site. I haven't stayed on site since I visited WDW for the first time aged 12, so I am extremely excited to experience a Disney hotel again.
When?
18th-22nd August. Bank holiday weekend. I sense a few people questioning my sanity here, but when we originally booked this trip, we were in a situation with the company we worked for where we had to be sparing with our holiday, and the bank holiday meant we would only use a day. As it happens, both of us have moved on from said company so we could actually have gone earlier. Oh well! I think if we make good use of fastpasses and EMH we can get everything we want done.
How?
Thanks to these wonderful boards and a bit of internet research, I found out that it was possible to save quite a bit by booking on the french Disney site, and by doing this we saved about £200 overall. Also, we saved about £150 on our Eurostar fares, as when I took a trip to Paris with another friend of mine in March, the carriage we were in on our return journey had a heating malfunction (AKA the sauna carriage) and because they couldn't we re-seat us we were offered a discount if we booked with them again in the next 12 months. So in the end we ended up paying £84 per person. Sweet!
Why?
Some of you may recall I spent a day at DLP for my birthday back in March. When I got back from that trip Charley had joined my office. We became close friends very quickly. One evening after work, we got talking about Disney, and how I had been thinking about trying to go back for a longer stay, to which she replied "You know, I've always wanted to go back to Disney..." quickly replied "So let's do it!" And so we did! After some saving and many lunch breaks spent pricing up different things we finally went ahead and booked in June.
Why no boys allowed? Well, Charley and I have both been through the mill this year. Back in April, I had to break of my engagement with my fiancé after he found somebody else. Charley was/is also going through something similar and we kind of bonded over supporting each other though it all.
So basically we've decided boys are yucky and they're not welcome on our holiday! XD
If you made this far well done. We are both very excited for Friday. Hopefully before I go I can post some other things, like our must dos etc.
