Hey guys! Landed at Sanford an hour earlier than expected yesterday and still can't quite believe we're here!! My son was completely blown away by the surprise hol and I just can't wait to get started!
First, the plane.. for anyone considering/flying on Thomson's new Dreamliner, I HIGHLY recommend upgrading to Premium Economy. I'm 5'11" and had about a foot of space between me and the person in front (and that was after they reclined their seat!) There's more in-house entertainment than I've ever seen on an aircraft... and the food?? Oh my gosh, the food is to DIE for! We had the Beef Bourgignon for our main (starter was a couscous and roasted pepper salad and a warm bread roll and butter) then mango & passionfruit cheesecake, the most AMAZING chocolate trifle and a little box of Guylian chocs followed by cheese and biscuits. Not going to say too much more about it but suffice to say, we will never travel economy again! Truly felt like royalty from start to finish!
Got my transfer easy enough and my son was AMAZED by all the stuff the staff had put him in his room as a treat Dropped the suitcases and sorted out the safe for our valuables then headed straight out to DTD Got to DTD about 5pm(ish) and picked up our park tickets, MNSSHP tickets and PhotoPass+... we checked out some shops and I got a REALLY nice scrapbook! Still having trouble figuring out how much to tip so I'm probably going to end up overtipping! Lol! Grabbed a cab back to the hotel to unpack (WORST cab driver in AGES!) and got room service but we are headed back to DTD later in the week
Sat here in the room and just getting ready for a day at Discovery Cove! Yay! Still can't believe we're here! Will post up again tonight!
