It all started with a...

...trip to Florida in 2000.

My mum and dad had just recently caught the Disney bug and were eager for us to have a trip with them to Florida, so after much planning we decided to give in and take the plunge!

We stayed in a villa at Sunset Lakes, Orlando for a week and then had a 3 night stay near the beach at Sarasota.

We crammed the usual stuff in...Universal, Sea World, the malls etc etc and of course Walt Disney World. Now this is where the trouble started! Oh how I had no idea how this one trip would change my whole life!

Walt Disney World was and still is the most magical place on earth. From the moment I walked onto Main Street, USA I was hooked. Tears filled my eyes and I was like a child again. Happy days.

My daughter was 2 at the time and this trip was the start of her love affair with everything Disney, she didn't stand a chance!

We then visited again in 2002, 2004, 2007 and 2009! See the bug had hit us big time! We also had a couple of sneaky trips to Disneyland Paris in 2001 and 2010.

2004 - Epcot

















2007 - Minnie Mouse at Animal Kingdom

















Our last visit in 2009 was the ultimate Disney feast as we stayed onsite for the first time at the stunning Disney Yacht Club and wow did we had a ball. We also received free Disney dining which was awesome and we had some of the most gorgeous meals :-)

My daughter Lydia on a very empty Main Street, Magic Kingdom. It was 8.40am and we were on our way to the Crystal Palace for breakfast :-)
