Hi Everyone, :wave: I'm back! We got home late last night after an exhausting five days. We had a great time at DLRP and I had a lovely birthday (thanks for your kind wishes). Glad to be home as I spent sooo much money! :rolleyes1

Hope you have all had a good week.

It was quite cloudy on Sunday afternoon when we arrived then it rained late afternoon and most of the evening. Monday, Tues & Wednesday were all really lovely sunny days and yesterday morning was nice but just after we got to the train station it absolutely poured down...we were really lucky not to get caught up in it otherwise it would have been a very soggy trip home! ::yes::

We had a great time thanks Claire. :cool1:

I don't know if you've been before or not but this was our first time and we were really surprised at the prices! Everything was so expensive and I was prepared for high 'Disney' prices as we have been to WDW 4 times but DLRP is much more expensive (or course the rubbish exchange rate doesn't help but even if the rate was better I would still have found it expensive.)

I don't mean to be negative but I was really surprised so if you go there expecting high prices on everything, including food & drinks, it may be a bit less shocking for you.

How much did you speand on food a day? We are planning to take £400 in spending money for 5 days, 2 adults, does that sound enough?

[Pinky166]

I'm not sure how much we spent in total yet. We didn't have breakfast, we had a midday lunch and dinner every night. It was only me & my DH so just 2 adults. On average I think dinner each night was about 100 euro's, that was with either starter or dessert (never both) and only 1 or 2 beers & a soft drinks. We ate at The Steakhouse, Planet Hollywood, Silver Spur Steakhouse, room service on first night at Hotel New York, Annette's Diner (this was cheaper but I can't remember how much.)

I think it was the prices of the souvenirs that shocked me the most and the prices of the kids toys.

We are going in a few weeks with our friends and we are taking our drinks with us! I even have a cocktail mix. The plan is to drink in the hotel before we leave to go out for the evening.

We are taking our car so loading up on booze before we go is fine. We bought back a whole load of carva in our van from Spain last month so hopefully drinks should not be a problem.

Perhaps we should stock up on some snacks for the kids and also take bottles of water for them. I have just bought a pair of mickey earings on ebay as I know they will be so pricey in DLP

Can't wait. Thanks for the warning

If you've got room in the car Susan then I would take a few snacks & things. It all helps!

Don't get me wrong I still brought loads of souvenirs etc and I got some jewellery, my DH brought me some extra birthday pressies! A Tinkerbell watch, a crystal Mickey necklace, earrings, bracelet & ring set. :love:

You will have a fab time!
