Walt Disney World April 2015, Day 7 – Magic Kingdom
I’ve taken a little bit of a break from my holiday diary as none of my readers seemed to be finding them of interest. But as I really want to have a reminder of what we got up to, I’m going to continue. Day 7, only three to go. We spent all of our 7th day in our favourite park, Magic Kingdom. I have to admit that the Sunday signaled the beginning of 4 very magical days. I mean our whole holiday was magical but by the Sunday, we really were rolling in pixie dust! Here’s what we got up to; We started the morning at Be Our Guest for…

Doing Walt Disney World (& Orlando) on a Budget
As I mentioned in my shake up post the other day, I’m going to try and only blog about things that I genuinely want to share and spend time promoting. This morning I woke up and wanted to write a post on doing an Disney World holiday on a budget. I think one of my reasons for feeling so lost after coming back off holiday was not having a trip to plan. Our trip in September is a whole lot less structured (at least until we get to 30 days out) so doesn’t require the planning my first trip did. Because of that I have nothing to focus my holiday…

Walt Disney World April 2015, Day 6 – Epcot
It’s been a few days since I shared the next day of my Florida holiday diary! As time went on I took more photos and other people took photos for me, so narrowing them down to enough that it will share the whole day but will also not kill everyone’s browsers is becoming harder and harder. Having an instagram account just to share LM’s adventures has become a godsend for gradually sharing all the photos.. I can’t believe in a month it almost has 1000 followers! Anyway, our 6 day was our day at Epcot. In hindsight we could have got more done but LM took a long nap in…

Holiday in the Sun Essentials*
Aren’t you all bored of me harping on about my holiday yet? Yes? Well tough. I’m going at it all from a different angle today in talking about my holiday in the sun essentials. I haven’t taken a holiday where it has been “hot” since I was 20, that’s 7 years. Usually I have city breaks where although the weather has been cool, I haven’t had to worry about being out in the sun a lot due to a lot of sight seeing being indoors. Although a lot of a Disney Holiday can be indoors, I knew I needed to be prepared for some time out enjoying the sun, and…

Walt Disney World April 2015, Day 5 – Animal Kingdom
So, I made a huge mistake on the day we visited Animal Kingdom… I picked up the uncharged battery so by mid morning (right in the middle of the safari) my camera died on me. Heartbroken is the understatement so I have no photos of The Festival of the Lion King or Finding Nemo the Musical. Thank goodness for Photopass! We arrived at Animal Kingdom just after opening so we headed straight to Dinoland USA where we went on the Animal Kingdom version of Dumbo, twice. After that we took a walk around the park checking out where everything was. I find Animal Kingdom quite close and I couldn’t for…

Walt Disney World April 2015, Day 4 – 1900 Park Fare, Magic Kingdom & Hollywood Studios
Getting bored of this yet? Still another 6 more after this update! I’m not sure how many people are actually reading my Walt Disney World updates so I’m really just doing them for me so I can look back on them. I am eventually going to do restaurant reviews and tip posts which may be of more interest. But until then… Day 4. Our fourth day didn’t end up being as crazy as first anticipated! We had an early morning breakfast reservation at 1900 Park Fare with Bee, her partner Chris and her daughters Megan and Lily. I ended up getting on the wrong monorail and was slightly late but…
