All becoming real

I booked my flights yesterday so it's all becoming more real. £540 return, so not exactly a bargain but one of the cheapest options available. I did want a direct flight from Manchester but that was about £800-ish with Virgin so I'm flying from Manchester to Gatwick and then on to Orlando. There are quite a few other people doing the same and even more joining us at Gatwick so should be fun. I am going to make sure I've added enough Disney films on my iPod to keep me entertained though, just in case the boredom sets in or if everything is slightly awkward with my fellow cast members on the flight.

What I would recommend to anyone else doing one of the programs, is to book your flights as soon as you are sure you are going to go. I waited for weeks, just in case the flights got cheaper and well, that was a mistake. They don't get cheaper, just more expensive. Back in June I could have booked a Delta flight via Atlanta for £360-ish. By the time I actually booked it had gone up two-hundred smackers! It would've saved money but the one I'm on now is more convenient really. Plus it's British Airways and they let you check-in two suitcases so score!
