PassPorter Community Tip: A "Brit" Different Guidebook
PassPorter's Walt Disney World for British Holidaymakers is a "brit" different view of Walt Disney World for our UK friends by author/columnist Cheryl Pendry! This comprehensive, 260-page e-book covering every aspect of visiting Walt Disney World from the United Kingdom. It takes you through your entire visit, from the planning stages to working out the best way to get there and get around, with details about arriving in America, passports and immigration, duty-free allowances, driving in the States, and staying in touch while you're away!

Club Passholders get it now in the Reading Room. The e-book is also now on sale to the general public in the PassPorter Store.

Updated 9/17 early am!

Sorry I didn't update yesterday, to be honest I was hit with a ton of bricks or so it felt and I have officially started my Fall Allergies! Between the allergens outside, the dust inside and the lack of sleep it hit full force and knocked me out!

Mom has to work today (wednesday) half a day to finish packing up her desk so they can have that shipped to her, then she has to finish a few things that have to be done in the office then she is leaving so she can go to the post office turn in the change of address forms to have mail forwarded.

I am spending the morning packing up the things we either missed or wanted to ship via Fedex up and will have that ready to go so we can drop that off on the way up to my Aunt's house tonight.

Our Relocubes were picked up yesterday, they had a driver call out so there was one guy doing all the pick up and deliveries and they apologized over and over again for being about 8 hours later then planned but as long as they get them there by Monday, and in one piece we are fine with that!

I can't believe that its almost time to leave this house, I have lived here since I was born so that is ummmm 26 years! I can't believe it. While I am Soooooo excited to be in Orlando, as a Florida Resident, this is just a big change and one that we want! Just different for us!

I should be able to update once we get to Orlando as our hotel has free internet but I don't want to guarantee anything so if i can update live I will but if not trust me I will fill you in once everything is set up!

I want to thank you for being such wonderful friends Passporter is my favorite place on the web and I am so grateful that I can share my moving adventure with my 2nd family!

I will try and check in later today once at my aunt's to fill you in on how its going.

But this is our updated Itinerary!

Thursday
leave 2am from my Aunt's
drive to lorton, VA
Check in for the auto train
Board and sit back and relax

Friday
Arrive 9:30ish in Sanford FL
Drive to Hilton Grand Vacation Club-Seaworld
See if we can check in early
Dinner I am hoping for either Steak n Shake or Cracker Barrel

Saturday
Up early breakfast at the hotel room
Go to our Apartment complex and check in with our leasing agent
Sign our lease
Check out our unit and find out what we have to do in order to get our relocubes in on Monday
I am hoping that Mom will let me either use the car or have her drop me off and pick me up at DTD so that I can go to Adventurer's Club or if she wants to go we will just drag my grandma along she won't mind

Sunday
Well today is just a whatever we want to do, I was thinking if the weather is nice that we might take a drive out to Cocoa Beach, have dinner near the Port and watch the Wonder sail off! Other then that maybe just stay at the hotel and Relax. Either sound great to me!

Monday
our relocubes should be delievered today, and hopefully early enough so that we can get the movers in to unload everything. If they don't arrive before Noon then we will have to call around and find a hotel to stay at 1 more day! And then the Relocubes will be unloaded first thing Tuesday morning.

So that is the rough Itinerary, what actually happens will be told in the Trip Report once I get settled!

Ok My Passporter Pals! Until my next update!

I'm moving to Disney World errr....Orlando! Whoohooooo!

I'm getting slightly that you will soon be living out your dream. I think the AC would be a good welcome to Orlando activity and a day at the beach waving to the Wonder sounds like heaven.

Safe travel

Amy, I've been silently reading your Moving TR and just wanted to wish you, your mom, and grandma luck in your travels to Florida. Stay safe, stay well, and look forward to hearing from you once you arrive and get settled.
