well done - we went to Florida at Easter, stayed at Disney hotel had a fab time, spent lots on money. We had the disney dining and even thought it was really busy we were able to go to character dining just turned up and asked. Some resturants get booked up a lot in advance. My DS keeps saying when we go back we will swim with the Dolphins (maybe if we win like you - finger crossed)

have a great time well done again on the win - DIBB is really great for Disney advice.

We have already booked lots of the character dinners, including lunch at Cinderella's Castle (don't think the food is great, but apparently the experience is really good). I would not have paid £100 for lunch if ithad not been free in our dining plan.

I found DIBB a few months back and now spend quite a bit of time on there instead of entering competitions! It is quite addictive!!

Thank you. We were a bit worried about how much it cost and didn't know if it was worth it. Everyone I have spoke to who has done it says it is amazing and that it is the one thing that they still talk about now about the holiday.

Congratulations....can't tell you how jealous I am.
we did this in jan of 2007, on their coldest day of the year . we spent about 30 mins in the pool with the dolphins.
It's certainly worth the money as once in DC you don't need to pay for anything..... included in the price are wetsuits ( highly recommended ) lockers, snorkel gear, suntan lotion, (with snorkel gear),towels and showers plus shampoo/soap etc, also if you are there early enough you can have breakfast as well as lunch up till 3pm, plus there are a couple of snack bars for when you get out of one of the lagoon/pools where you can get hot/cold drinks, including beer and biscuits/crisps, etc... all included your admission price. I would take some of your own suntan lotion though as some people don't like the one supplied. Allow some money for a video of your swim, and I recommend buying a couple of the cheap underwater cameras from Walmart ( about $8-$9 ), also get there early and make the most of your day.

Have been back almost a week now from our fantastic holiday in Florida.

After a good flight (United Airlines) which was part of the prize, we arrived to a heatwave of temperatures almost 100 degrees which was a record for late October.

Spent a week at Old Key West Disney resort where our food was included and we got to go to 3 different character meals and visited all the Disney parks. We paid for this ourself as this was not part of the prize.

We then moved on to Hard Rock Hotel for 7 nights (which was our prize) which had a fantastic pool with underwater music. My girls loved it - it was so warm too.

We went to the Universal parks and had a great time.

I used the $150 spa voucher and had a "Cermony of the Hands and Feet" which was a 90 minute delux manicure and pedicure - it was lovely!

The highlight though was something we decided to pay for ourselves and that was trip to Discovery Cove to swim with dolphins. Although it was expensive, you got so much more than just swimming with the dolphins - it was a full day with food and drink and snorkelling etc.

It was an amazing day and the look son my daughters faces are something I will never forget.

Good luck with your competitions!
