Our trip to the 'Happiest Place On Earth!'

Well It's been at least 7 weeks since my last blog post, and though there's no excuse, there's definitely a reason... I've been having way too much fun!

Our trip to the USA was more or less split into three separate chunks, so I'm dedicating a post to each...

Now, those who know me well will know that I've always been a huge fan of all things Disney (huge not being with reference to how much weight I've put on whilst on holiday!) But I'd never been to Disney World. Now, my wife Francesca loves me, but not necessarily my mild obsession with the Mouse, so I was so excited when she suggested we go to Disney World at the start of our US trip.
What can I say? Disney World is my favourite place ever! I loved it, Fran loved it, how can you not love it? You don't really have to be a big Disney fan to enjoy the fun and magic there. The shows are so well done and the attention to detail everywhere is fantastic. If you've never been, get saving, it's well worth the money (though from experience, make sure you say 'yes' when they ask you if you would like the meal plan option. It's not a scam, we said 'no' and now we're poor!)

Oh, and if you ever go to Disney, make sure you have a try at the 15 minute Character Drawing classes at Disney Studios. We both enjoyed it so much we went round several times!
