Planning
These are the holidays we are currently planning. I will post information/strategies as I come across anything useful.
Holidays coming up
Greek Isles – Royal Caribbean
We have booked a week long cruise for August 2022 which visits Greece, Italy and Turkey onboard the Odyssey of the Seas.
Our little one really enjoyed our Disney Cruise Lines UK Staycation last year so I thought it was time to try her on a ‘proper’ cruise. This will be her first Royal Caribbean cruise and the Odyssey looks like an amazing ship for us.
Bude, Cornwall
This is one of the very few holidays that I am not actively planning but as far as I know we have booked an Airbnb rental home for a week long stay with extended family in the summer holidays.
We have stayed in Bude several times and as there will be lots of children coming with us, we felt Bude was the best location choice for Cornwall as it’s closer to home and has great beaches, a nice town and plenty of activities for every member of our party.
Butlins, Bognor Regis
We missed our annual trip to Butlins in 2021 but service as normal resumes in 2022. We were originally booked to go for one of the Summer Holidays breaks with Diversity but we changed it for later in the year and have booked a break with Stephen Mulhern.
Disney Dream
My parents have booked us all on the Disney Dream to celebrate a special birthday for my Mum. The whole family will be going for 4 nights, setting sail from Southampton in 2024.
Walt Disney World
We started planning this in 2019 (and the amount of planning which went into it was what inspired this blog). We were bitterly disappointed when it got cancelled in 2020 (yes, I am still bitter but no it’s not the worse thing to happen in 2020 by any means).
Realistically we will be looking to rebook for 2025 as I will be celebrating a big birthday. I would really like to see free Disney dining plans return before I book. Disney have already announced the return of paid for dining plans for 2024 along with park reservations no longer being a requirement.
We are hoping to be joined by the whole family for this trip. Our daughter will be 9 and son will be 2.
