Well after much, much debate we've decided against Universal this summer. Decided it would be too much with Disney, Sea World, Busch Gardens and Aquatica....and Gatorland It can wait until we return for Star Wars Land in 2020.

We burned our bridges too, putting the money we'd set aside for Universal on a non-refundable 5 days in a Condo on Anna Maria Island instead. Most importantly, this means I'll be able to drink pretty much all day everyday for 5 days to make up for all the driving for the rest of the holiday.

I need the fixture lists to be released before I can completely finalise my itinerary.

Thanks to everyone for your recommendations and advice along the way.

Nice one - enjoy ! You'll all have a great time

We're all booked for next Easter  !

No tips on the Esta, other than fill in the forms and pay the money. No idea why it crashes - assume you're using the right site:

We had big bother using Esta site using Safari. Switched to Google chrome and that worked for us.

I couldn't get it working using Safari, Chrome or the MS one on my PC or laptop. Presumed it was down but tried every day for a few days... Switched my WiFi off on my phone and it worked fine on Chrome.. A faff putting all the details in on my phone though.

Thanks guys. Will try chrome in the morning.
