79 Sleeps and the parks are booked

 

When clearing out my daughter's bedroom, I came across this light box we bought her.  I added some Cricut magic and now have a perfect way to count down to the start of our holiday! All I need to do now is find somewhere to put it.  

Over the weekend, we decided to hunker down in the midst of Storm Eunice and watch the Harry Potter movies back to back.  From the very second we saw Harry enter Diagon Alley for the first time, I realised that it's Universal I'm looking forward to the most.   The films were only punctuated by Molly's (allears) Best Day at Universal video on YouTube which served to further raise the excitement in our home.   There is so much which has changed, been added, or which we just simply missed the last time we visited.   And this time we are armed with the knowledge acquired from all the YouTube channels.  I literally have no idea how we managed without Molly & the gang, AJ (dfb) and Tom (WDWNT/UNT)!

That being said, we have now booked our days in all four of the Disney parks, and a second day in Hollywood Studios, just in case we can't get on Rise of the Resistance on our first visit.  I've decided to concentrate upon Disney in the first week and then Universal during the second.  We have 14 day passes for both but I wanted to save the best for last so to speak.  I'm now anxiously awaiting 60 days beforehand so we can get our dining booked - there are a few things we would really like to do, even in Disney.   I'd be more specific, but part of this plan is to be a surprise for part of our group. Fingers crossed it works!
