I know three years is WAY too long!
But my husband was serving in the army up until January and we could never plan any holidays-Back in 2002 we got three months notice to move to Brunei! It was an amazing life but it is great to think we are now living in ( a lot) easier reach of the magic :)

We've been wathcing DLRPmagic ride and show films on youtube and our old videos from previous trips :)
Its getting closer! WOOHOO! :D

Hey Disney mama :) were also in a Montana room we looked into the golden forest also but I'm not sure it'd be worth the extra? To be honest every hotel we've stayed in we have had a great time wether its been a standard at the Santa fe or a terraced room at the Disneyland hotel! I think there's many people who probably can't afford to go so I count my lucky stars we can go as often as we do!
Hope your little boy loves it! I'm sure he will :D I mean what kid don't love Disneyland?! Especially if he's like you lol

P.s I am not sure how u do the quote thing??!

So excited for you all Tubbsy, sounds like this trip is very overdue for your family. We are hoping to book on Monday for next year  [-o< .

Cant wait to read your trip report. Premium meal vouchers are so worth there weight in gold. We would never look back now. Planning Buffallo Bills, Princess meal and 2 x Inventions next time   :D/

Yay! Littlebitofpixiedust :D
Thank you julesk :) We are all excited. Its probably the last year our 18 year old comes with us as she starts uni in September (Yeah, right! "Steph we are going to Disney and of course, now you are at uni, we're guessing  you dont want to come with us." LIke thats going to happen!)

We had great fun choosing the restaurants. My husband doesnt like Buffalo Bills food :( But we have done it twice, so its OK.
We are doing Inventions twice, Cafe Mickey, Walts, The Steakhouse in the village and (A first time for us) The Blue Lagoon :)

Favourite hotel ... Urm ... Well, we were completely and utterly spoilt last time we stayed in NPB, so it wins at the moment..... But any hotel in the magic is fine by me! :)
Want to see how spoilt we were? This is our trip report from three years ago!

Why would you loose the Premium vouchers by upgrading to Golden Forest Club?
We are staying in the Golden Forest Club with Full Board Premium.

I understand why you would loose them now,  I contacted disney about upgrading to a room with a lake view.  It's because the have to re cost from scratch as the offer used when booked is no longer available.  The offer now is free half board and you can only have the half board to what your hotel is, ie Sequoia is plus and Disneyland hotel is Premium.   So I would loose my premium or pay a lot more to have it.   I couldn't even upgrade to a lake view, booo.
