81 days to go until my next trip to the magic, and since I can't book my restaurants yet, I'll write a PTR!

We'll be staying at the Sequoia Lodge for 4 nights from Monday 22 January - we're hoping it will be very quiet, and frosty rather than wet and miserable!
It will be our first time staying Golden Forest, and we're pretty excited about it. I think SL is my overall favourite hotel (stayed in them all except SF and DLH), especially in winter. We'll be making the most of the club lounge for breakfast and afternoon snacks.

Travelling are my mum and dad, my sister and I. 2018 is a big year - my dad turns 70, I turn 30 and I get married too. We didn't think we'd fit in a Disney trip, but we really wanted to celebrate there before all these big things happen!
For the first time ever, we're not spending Christmas 2017 as a family - I'll be down in London with my fiance's family (he has now spent 3 Christmasses in Scotland with my side....it's definitely time to hang out with his folks!)
So, this mid-January trip was our idea to have some time together not long after the holidays. When we saw how cheap the deal was we couldn't resist - and flights from Glasgow were the cheapest I think I've ever booked.

Very excited about food too - we'll be on a meal plan for the first time, since it was free! It's also my first time in DLP as a vegan (I've been veggie for years but only vegan for a few months) so it's been fun researching vegan options - there are more than I expected!

Our meal plan is:
Monday: Annette's (our favourite)
Tuesday: late lunch at Agrabah Cafe (a first for all of us)
Wednesday: last sitting for dinner at Bistro Chez Remy (we all liked it a few years ago, and now they have a tofu casserole!)
Thursday: dinner after park closing at Yacht Club (never eaten here but everybody was excited by the set menu when we looked online)

My mum, sister and I last visited in mid-March, so there are a few new things to look forward to: Star Tours, Hyperspace Mountain, Illuminations (I'll try not to miss Dreams too much), and all things 25th anniversary.
 
Restaurants booked! Unfortunately Yacht Club will be closed for some reason, for the duration of our stay....fortunately we decided to pay the supplement and book Inventions for the final night of our trip instead :cloud9:
