Our Holiday of a Lifetime – Orlando 2017

In October 2017, after counting down the days for over a year, we set off on our holiday of lifetime to Orlando. My motto on Disney holidays is "Go hard or go home!" and our type of holiday may not be for everyone but when it costs in excess of £10k, I want to squeeze out every last drop as who knows when we will be lucky enough to go again.
