Getting excited!

After all of the stress in the past couple of weeks I've finally started to get excited about our trip again!

I've ordered a few bits for the kids for their surprise reveal.  I'm still not sure when I'll do this!

They have a Disney box each already.  I've ordered a themed shirt each (Tinkerbell, Harry Potter and Jurassic Park), mickey ears, autograph books and bumbags to go inside.

Not quite figured out all of the details but the boxes will be wrapped and I'll film them opening them!

The suitcases are now down from the attic so I can slowly start washing and sorting holiday clothes, hopefully into two suitcases as I don't fancy carrying three suitcases, 4 pieces of hand luggage and the kids as well on my own!

I think I'll have to find the kids back packs and use them as hand luggage so they can carry those themselves. That'll just leave me with the suitcases and my hand luggage...and 3 kids!

Bad point.  My phone has decided to play up and not hold charge so I've had to pay for an early upgrade!  So more eaten out of our spends...BUT...I'll have a better phone and a massive 4x the storage, which means I won't have to keep deleting photos and videos all holiday!  I'll have enough for everything on my phone!

Starting a new saving schedule for the next few weeks and if all goes to plan and there are no more set backs we should have $4000 spending money :D

Around $1600 of that will be on our ADR's and food!  But most of the rest will be to play with so it should be plenty!

The kids still think we're going to Scotland, bar Cameron who thinks we're going to Spain!!  I can't wait to see their faces.  I may not wait!  As soon as their 'box stuff' arrives I might just tell them!

I also called the travel agent about Miami airport and asked around and it seems like it's much simpler than I was imagining.  Off the plane, onto the airport train, through immigration, pick up bags, go through customs and drop them back off at the Orlando flight!

I know I won't fully relax until I'm sat on that plane to Orlando.  That will be when I can really look forward to our holiday and I'll have the hour flight to get rid of the stress and get my head in holiday mode!
