Hello Everyone and thank you for reading my pre trippy. Let me introduce myself my name is Paula and I will celebrate my 42nd birthday on this very trip. I am travelling with my DW and soul mate Jo.
We from sunny England ( tongue in cheek ) and had our civil partnership in 2006 shortly after it became legal. But not quite beating Sir Elton and David to it...
Here we are ...
This is me ( Star Wars fan I am..mmmm)
This is DW
I am medically retired as I suffer from a nasty old auto immune disease. DW is the CEO of a Data Centre company in London. She also my carer so is pretty much rushed of her feet. She is a godsend to me and deserves every inch of this vacation! So I have it down to the wire...health willing! It likes to keep us on our toes! finally...as well loving each other we love all things Disney So here is the line up! Please join me
Wednesday September 18th - drop off our two shih tzus at a good friend to be spoilt. Drive up to Gatwick airport stopping enroute for our tradition night before McDonald's. Onto twilight check in with Virgin Atlantic.
Stay overnight at Premier Travel Inn Manor Royal Don't sleep due to excitement. Get on Jo's nerves who is exhausted from work.
Thursday September 19th - drop off car at meet & greet parking which is just by terminal Play in shops and buy things we don't need due to excitement.
Fly to Orlando and arrive at MCO around 5:30 pm. Get ME to SSR. Check in for 4 glorious nights. Hope we get our Grandstand request and near bus stop for our studio! Get owners locker delivered and scooter from Apple.
Friday September 20th - Alamo shuttle to Disney car centre and pick up rental car. Drive to South Orlando tag agency , Kissimmee for US disabled parking permit as UK no longer valid in all locations. Dismeet friend Dana meet her on DCL cruise last year. Now good friends!
Go to Walmart for groceries ( 50 boxes of Lucky charms not made in the UK and we are addicted , cans of soda, water etc )
Lunch at our favourite Earl of Sandwich in DTD. Mine is an All American & Jo is a club or holiday sandwich girl.
We tend to decide on the day where we dine because of my varying medical condition. If we do make an ADR it'll be in the morning for that evening. I have Crohns disease as well as arthritis and uveitis so it's hard to eat , move around and see but I find American eating places very accommodating to my needs!
We like to also dine outside Disney our favourites are Olive garden, Red Lobster, Lone Star. Maybe Olive garden tonight! It's our firmed favourite.
Saturday 21st September - Magic kingdom today! We are going to try and see if we can score lunch at BOG! Jo is kindly going to line up for us! I have been really looking forward to this! Need to speak to somebody to ask about my diet requirements so hope you can get a CM at the kiosks! Can only do short time at parks as I get tired. A few rides maybe then pm by the pool.
Red lobster tonight ( that's not me too long by the pool btw lol )
