I’ve given up not writing about personal stuff, my Disney buddies do and if it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for me. So here it is…
On the last day of the Disney trip (see how I manage to mention it in every post?!) I did a pregnancy test, I had an inkling that maybe I was pregnant even though the miscarriage was only five weeks ago, and it was positive. I had a few tears telling my new friends and was surprised when I looked …

A better picture of the humungous steak knife at The Flying Fish Cafe
A surprise left in my room while I was out enjoying my steak with the uber knife.
Inside my goodie bag, a ton of munchies, my very own Mickey ears which Erin has adopted and my autograph book which still has a few more pages to be signed, roll on June 18th!

For anyone who thinks Disney is all burgers and hotdogs, think again. I enjoyed some of the tastiest food I’ve ever had in Disney World, and I have the pictures to prove it!

Can’t believe I’m only writing about arriving and already I’m on my final day, didn’t have chance to do as much blogging as I’d hoped but we did see a lot more of Disneyworld which was the whole point, I’ll probably spread my posts over the next few weeks, until I’m back again, roll on June 18th.
Anyway we arrived at Orlando airport and proceeded to the dreaded check-in, last time I was here I was only seventeen and got a proper grilling from a surly man who must have been …

Virgin are actually partnering with Walt Disneyworld to bring us mummy bloggers over here so it seems only right to do a full review, arrrgh such a hardship!
I’m not sure how much extra it is to upgrade to premium economy, oh hang on, a good reviewer would check, back in a mo…ok, so it was a much bigger difference than expected;
