Highlights: Business Class flights, Mexico City Immigration (not).
A 7.15 am shuttle meant an early start especially to pack for the upcoming international flight to Mexico today. We were the only ones in the shuttle today and the friendly driver wanted to know our travel plans. Normally this is where mum steps in as she loves to talk to Americans but this guy wanted to talk to me, I’m not the best morning person but I made an effort.

Highlights: Walt Disney World Parks “The Magic Kingdom” and “Hollywood Studios”
Another early morning to catch the shuttle to Walt Disney World at 7.15 am. The included breakfast at the Hampton Inn was filling which is good because I wanted to avoid the Theme Park food prices. The shuttle got us to the enormous Disney property around 8.00. This place is so large that it took another 5 minutes to get to the Epcot Centre and there was no traffic!

Highlights: Universal Studios especially Cinematic Spectacular and Rockit roller coaster.
The wake up at 4.15 am made me question if I’m on holidays or not. The flight was scheduled for 6.59 am and took 3 hours to complete. The lounge access before and the exit row seat during made the morning more bearable.

Highlights: Shopping at the Manhattan Mall
The last full day in New York City and it decides to rain. Actually this showed just how lucky we have been to this point as the days outside have all been fine. As a result of the bad weather is we decided not to go to the Empire State Building as the views would be restricted. No big deal for me as I’ve been two times before but slightly disappointing for my mother.

Highlights: Disney and M&M Shopping, Phantom of the Opera
After the long and memorable day seeing the sights of New York (Part 1) the late afternoon was spent shopping in Times Square and waiting for our Broadway Show “The Phantom of the Opera”. Mum wasn’t really up to walking back to our hotel and then returning to Times Square so after the tour ended we ended up shopping instead. In many ways this was a goo result.
