Orlando 2007/08...Part 1

The last time we went to Orlando was from 8th December 2007 - 11th January 2008. As we were there for a few weeks I will be separating the posts into parts.

waiting for our flight

As our flight was from Manchester we left the day before and stayed overnight at a Travel Lodge in Manchester.

On the flight.

Unfortunately Cerys was sick on the flight so the flight attendant gave us a shirt for her to wear as her clothes and spares were covered in vomit! 🢃🢃

she looked proper cute though 💜

By the time we landed, got our suitcases and hire car, it was late in the evening before we arrived at our holiday house so I never got a chance to take photo's of the house until next day.

Our hire car

It was a beautiful 3 bedroom with a heated pool in a gated community on Princess Palm Lane.

Cerys watching the Wiggles.

Our room

the girls room

Darren's room

The first day the girls were desperate to get into the pool which gave me a chance to unpack and get things organised.

For lunch we drove to Wendy's

Scott & I went in the pool at night

Our first day of many at Disney World was on the 10th December but I had so many photos I have done a separate posts.

Jodie spent every available time we had in the pool.

She even ate her tea in the pool!

For some reason we are missing a couple of days, we jump from 14th - 16th

Behind the scenes reality with holidaying with kids, dishes in the sink, clothes and toys strewn everywhere 😝😜

These photos were taken in the reception area of the gated housing area.

We bought a Christmas tree and the kids decorated it on the evening of the 16th December, all ready for the pressie's.

We had to return to the car hire place as something was not right with our original car so they gave us a replacement.

Aussie Pie Floater

With Australia day fast approaching, I had to share this Aussie icon. The pie floater is a meat pie submerged in thick pea soup, the pies are traditionally turned upside down sitting or sometimes submerged in the pea soup. The first time I had ever heard of this was while watching an episode of Billy Connolly's Australian tour. He was doing a show in Adelaide and indulged in one of these south Aussie icons. We tried a similar thing called a tiger pie from Harry's Cafe de Wheels on the Sydney harbour, the Tiger is a meat pie served with scoop of mash a scoop of mushy peas and a scoop of gravy, it was really delicious. A pie floater put simply is a meat pie on top of or covered in green pea soup with a choice of sauce squirted on top, the usual being ketchup, brown sauce, mint sauce, gravy or bbq sauce, some people also enjoy vinegar over their floater, I suppose the options can be endless, whatever 'floats' your pie!!. I searched a few variou...
