Woohoo! It looks like I still have so far to go but considering I didn't book that long ago I think I'm making really good prgress paying everything off! Over 30% paid already! :D
If you enjoyed my last blog, you'll love this one!! This time, me and my partner Ben will be taking our three children, Cameron, 9, Alyssa, 6, and baby Charlie, now 1 (nearly 2 when we leave), to Florida!

Wow!
The Sofitel has gone up since the last time! £215 for one night!! :O I may have to re-think that, it's very pricey for the sake of a quick ride to the South Terminal!
Another £150 off the holiday and £100 off the tickets paid!
Making £2517 for the holiday and £1371 for the tickets! :D
I've been looking at ADR's too (yes I know it's early!) and there are a few that I'd never have considered before.
Ben loves spicy food (none of the rest of us do) so Sanaa at the Animal Kingdom Lodge looks perfect. Spicy African food for Ben, chicken/fish with rice for the rest of us :D
I have to go back to Mama Melrose and Coral Reef again as I loved these last time.
I'm also thinking the Whispering Canyon (kids will love the 'surprises'), Le Cellier as I booked this last time but cancelled. Same for Teppan Edo and 1900 Park fare.
Chef de France in Epcot looks delicious, plus if we go at the right time we get to see Remmy serve up our food :D
Boma, another I reluctantly cancelled last time, again for the variety; Spice for Ben, lots for us.
Beaches and Cream because Ben wants the challenge of the kitchen sink! We may eat somewhere else for dinner/lunch and go there later for dessert!
Spiderman breakfast again, that was by far the best character interaction of the whole holiday last time :D
And the Rose and Crown pub in Epcot for the food and firework viewing :D

Added Discovery Cove!
Woohoo! On Sunday the 14th October 2012 myself, Cameron and Alyssa will be swimming with the dolphins!
And of course everyone, including Ben and Charlie will be spending a relaxing day with free drinks and food, sunbathing on the beach, snorkelling with sharks, holding wild birds, splashing around with sting rays, ooh there's loads!!
I was going to book this later on but I know dates disappear fast and I'd hate to get to the point where we can pay straight away and there be no days left :(
So I've added these tickets onto the Disney and Universal ones leaving a remaining ticket balance of £1471 :D
Can't wait!! :D

A few pics from our last trip :D
Woohoo!
If I keep this up I'll be paid up in no time!!
Another £100 towards the tickets making £930 remaining.
Another £100 towards the holiday making £2867.20 remaining.
Already £886 paid off! It was only booked 4 days ago!! :D
I'm thinking up some ideas on how to tell the kids, either on the day we leave or night before, depending on if we stay in a hotel the night before or not, which we probably will.
One idea is to watch the Florida home DVD from last time with a twist! I'll copy it and half way through it'll go wrong, blank screen for a few seconds etc. Then it'll show a totally different film of the stuff we're doing next year, but not quite sure what to put in that bit.
Or maybe just a simple way, have them thinking they're going to school as normal then just not going :D
I'll keep thinking! lol

Little bit knocked off...
Paid £50 off the holiday today leaving £2976.20 remaining :D
I forgot to say, the best bit about this holiday is we're not telling the kids!!
I'm going to plan an amazing reveal to them. I'm not sure what or when yet but it'll be fantastic and I'll be filming it whatever it is!
So if anyone has ideas on how to tell them we're going (probably on the day we leave) just leave a comment or email me, or get me on faceboook :D

Fairfx card...
I have got another fairfx card (www.fairfx.com), even though there were problems last time. I think I'll spread it more this time so the same can't happen again (for those who don't know, money went missing from my card, someone somehow bought things in China!).
And will have a lot more dollars in cash this time too. So far I have $150 in cash and $260 already :D
We're all booked!
We're going from the 11th of October to the 25th of October, 2012.
Staying 14 nights in a Disney are villa.
Disney and Universal tickets booked.
£3,017 remaining to pay for the Villa and flights.
£1, 130 remaining to pay for the Tickets :D
Making £4,147 in total!
I'm hoping to have that all paid off by the end of the year!
