great first day. love the pics. i cant wait to hear more.

[jenseib]

Great 1st day. Ddi that parade used to be at HS in Orlando? I know they used to have a car parade, but we never go to see it. DH did though. LOL! Of the 3 of us, he could care less, but it was last year (2008)when Claire got sick and I was in the room with her most of the day.

[FiFi Rose]

Great start:goodvibes I love trip reports:banana:Kyra looks cute as always and it was nice that Snow White spotted her in the crowd.

Yep. We got the parade from DHS...I'm guessing they re-worked the show though as parts of the show have songs in French.

[Tillybud]

great photos Emma and Kyra looks so adorable in her snow white dress, what a cutie :goodvibes

shame about the Boo doll, I've seen them in our disney stores but it's just not the same as buying one from DLP, I can understand the tears although Daisy looks right at home tucked up in bed :) I can't wait to hear who else got added to the collection.

I'm loving the poster for Toy Story Land, I would have been excited too and I'm with Kyra on the gorillas, they'd freak me out too !

Can't wait to read some more :goodvibes

[Kymie]

Pics are lovely!!

[gemmybear83]

Awww great first day! Love the photos, especially of the parade that was my favourite parade at WDW and it looks even better at DLRP with all the characters!

[poppyolivia]

great pics and great first day!!!!:goodvibes

[buttercup1982]

Fab 1st day! Pictures look great, your DD is so adorable!! :goodvibes

[Kymie]

Wow what fantastic photos!! For me its the characters that make Disney so special!!

[gemmybear83]

Brilliant update Emma, Kyra looks so cute in that costume!

[thelittlemermaid83]

I forgot to mention that on our first day in the park we managed to catch some of Mickey's Party time and yes i will be the first to admit that its a lot better than i imagined.

My fave part is when they all learn to fly, the music for this is really catchy and i did find myself dancing along most days :rotfl2:

Here is a short clip i filmed, that i thought you might like to see.

Thanks Nikki, that Jasmine moment was worth the money just for the trip itself.

Its amazing how one CM can make one child so happy :wizard:

I never knew about the Birthday sticker till i was in City Hall sorting out her card, i know its not as good as a Birthday Badge in WDW but its still a great idea and they even replaced it everytime Kyra lost it and said to come back and get a new one anytime, they was lovely.

[chickenlittleuk]

What a great TR!! You look like you had a blast, thanks for sharing with us all! :yay:

[Mum to Belle]

Great photos Emma! Kyra is looking as gorgeous as ever - does she practice a lot at home?!! :rotfl2: We saw you waiting for the parade on the last day and she was dancing around then! What a cutie!! :goodvibes

It was amazing meeting Jasmine :cloud9: and I think you're right about Kyra being that bit older and interacting far more, all the more exciting for you too!

Loving hearing all about your trip, looking forward to the next update! :thumbsup2

She loved dancing around waiting for the parade, at least you didn't get to witness my argument on the Tuesday during the parade...:rotfl2:I would love to post the video on here but i would get told off lol.

[Disneyfanswicklow]

Great trip report am really enjoying it. Your little girl is just gorgeous a real princess. was delighted she got to meet Jasmine and such a lovely photo for her memory chest. As I keep saying cant wait til january 2010 when I go with my princess - shame she does not want to wear the dresses anymore (at 11 she feels just too grown up!):banana: ah well at least she still wants to visit DLP :banana:

[jenseib]

Great update. It's so neat to hear and see how things are done there. Do they not wait in line for characters there? It sounded like at times it could be a mad rush?
Can't wait to hear more.

I also posted on my TR yesterday pics of Claire in her Halloween costume. She is being Mary Poppins!

Great trippie so far Emma, and I see Kyra is practising for her supermodel career....she can keep Mummy in the manner to which she intends to become accustomed!

Just had a e-mail back from Eurostar and they are willing to give me and Kyra a free single ticket or a half price return journey to use within the year due to delay we incured on Friday :banana::banana:

[torres_fan]

Love your photos. Your daughter is so pretty she could be a princess herself when shes older! Glad you had a fantastic trip even if there were a few lows, but hey half price eurostar tickets, talk about perfect. :thumbsup2

Just caught up with this. Kyra is so cute. Glad this was a magical trip:thumbsup2

[wideeyes]

Great trip so far, you really have some fantastic photographs. I can't believe how quickly time goes and Kyra is nearly 4 though.

I am not to keep on the mickey's party themeing. :confused3

[thelittlemermaid83]

I am not to keep on the mickey's party themeing. :confused3

I was like that before i went, but it actually wasn't that bad except for Mickeys awful head on the castle.

[dlpSteve]

I didn't sleep at last night and I am on my own at work because the guy who works for me is off - reading your trippie has made me smile, and especially the great photos of Kyra - she does love the camera, she could be a poster child for Disney!

[wideeyes]

I was like that before i went, but it actually wasn't that bad except for Mickeys awful head on the castle.


I don't like the way the emporium looks ether.

[stargatebarbie]

I really do think kyra should get a modeling job for Disney you should send the photos to them honest:wizard:

[thelittlemermaid83]

Thankyou to everyone for such lovely comments about DD, if she ever reads this im sure her head will get inflated :lmao:

Getting ready to post day 3 soon.

Emma your tr just keeps getting better and better :banana: Another great day with amazing photos, Kyra is so beautiful. I love her Ariel dress, it is so pretty ! I'm loving that she has taken Daisy along, my dd would probably lose her ! I'm also really impressed with the face painting, it's a shame it's not what you asked for but it's still really pretty ... how difficult was it to remove ? can't wait for some more, hopefully the heated arguement was just a blip on what looks to be a fab holiday :)

Thanks :goodvibes

The face painting came off really easily in the bath, the glitter took a wee bit longer...It was a shame to wash it off at the end of the day though, kinda felt to me a waste of 8 euros....buts that only because im a scrooge :rotfl:

[scampbunny]

lol @ bad mummy - i did that with the boys at easter, and cay clung to me and was sobbing and shaking - i think they whole of the 'lift' thought i was soooooooo horrible - he wudnt go near the ride again after (although hed loved it first time!!) my diff is he doesnt speak, so i can get away with pretending i dont understand (very bad mummy)

love the face paint and how lovely to see a friend in the parade :goodvibes loving the princess pose from kyra - does she practise it much?? lol

lets get to the argument bit..............yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay lol

[Verity Chambers]

Just caught up Emma, fantastic report, really enjoying it. Kyra definately rivals Evie as cutest child in DLP!! ;););););)

[thelittlemermaid83]

lets get to the argument bit..............yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay lol

:rotfl2::rotfl2: I just watched the video back of me filming while arguing, you can barely hear the parade over us :lmao::lmao:

[mommy2ash]

another great update emma. ok ok i get the hint i will never see the video lol. how rude of that family. glad you stuck your ground.

[Mum to Belle]

So funny to see DD in your trip report!! Even funnier, you've got better photos of her than me! Still can't believe that they sat us together - LOL! :goodvibes

We didn't get much value out of our vouchers either as DD wasn't eating and got bored before we'd eaten our moneysworth!! :lmao:

[scampbunny]

ok, i too admit defeat over the video lol

but............. i honestly cant believe them!!! i mean, y did they think u shud be moved????????????? thats just so **************** and so glad the cm was havin none of it too - well done on standing ur ground!! i usually develop very sharp elbows in that situation ;)

loving the pics tho..... more more more lol

[eeyorefanuk]

Been checking constantly for your next update :lmao: Really enjoy reading them.

About five years ago we had waited for the parade for an hour in extreme heat and had sat down until the parade started, eight of us. When it started we all got up and the people behind went nuts (all adults) :lmao: Trouble is they were not english so had no idea what was going on, even had to get the CM involved who basically told them to back off - not very disneylike .... the trouble was would you believe it she was staying at our hotel and the next day at breakfast she was sat at the next table :sad2:

[thelittlemermaid83]

Sadly this family spoke good English, except when it came to being rude during the whole parade, luckily i have the parade music to dubb over there annoying voices.

I'm just uploading a video to youtube that i edited to a few high moments of the trip, i possibly could of edited it better but i gave up as i hate windows movie maker, plus i had far too many clips to edit into a 3 and a half minute song :lmao:

Will post the link to the video once its on youtube.

[thelittlemermaid83]

[poppyolivia]

Emma you are always going to get the LAZY pushers!!!!!!!! They spoil it for everyone.....grrrrrrrrrrrr!

It's next to Woody's Roundup, sadly Santa will be there next month so no character galore :(

[eeyorefanuk]

Loved your video on you tube :goodvibes Your daughter is sooo cute it is untrue, she is her own little disney princess - Princess Kyra

[angel_nix]

Sounds and looks like you had a fab trip apart from the rude people at the parade. We had someone move the buggy with Lottie in it last year which I was not impressed about! I'm usually a calm person, but they got the full wrath of me in English, broken French and fairly poor German, just so I made sure they understood me!!!

[tinks_1989]

loving the TR Kyra gets cuter ever trip :D

I think they propbably pushed in front of you because you were on your own with your DD and they didnt think you would speak up being on your own but good for you me and DF had to and we got glares and some nonsense said about us

Probably didn't help that instead of looking 26 i look about 17 years old :lmao:

[britchic4]

They certainly did mess with the wrong pixie!!!
Loving Kyra's continuing fashion parade. Can't read anymore though as Freya has just figured out you can wear more than one princess dress at DLRP. Mummy who is that and why is she wearing all those dresses? Mummy are we allowed to wear a princess dress to meet Mickey? Mummy why don't I wear all my princess dresses at Disneyland?
So I'm just stepping away from the computer now.....

Its behind the castle and its a princess character meal, very expensive and very posh food :lmao:

[ghockley1981]

What a great report, Kyra looks so happy in all the piccies, can't wait to read the rest of your TR, makes me want to go back there sooooooooo much

[thelittlemermaid83]

[tennisfan]

Great report, except for the pushy family. Well done for sticking up for you. I came across a woman trying to have a go at me once. We had waited ages & I just lent forward to take a photo (as we were sitting on the kerb) She told me to move. I think she was so shocked I was actually English & could answer back:rotfl2:

Kyra is so cute in the photos:goodvibes

[mommy2ash]

yey another great day. what a pity you had to ask to see ariel

[poppyolivia]

awwww I would be so annoyed to have paid lots of money for that meal and have to go to the staff to ask about the prince etc....good on you Emma!!!!:thumbsup2

[thelittlemermaid83]

awwww I would be so annoyed to have paid lots of money for that meal and have to go to the staff to ask about the prince etc....good on you Emma!!!!:thumbsup2

I think if we was sat anywhere else it would of been ok.

[Sarah84]

Love the report and such lovely photos, Kyra is gorgeous.

Shame about the rude family trying to push infront of you during the parade, some people just seem to think they are much more important than others and don't need to wait for a good spot :mad:

[Stitch's Girl]

Hey Emma,

More great additions tothe report!

Loads of gorgeous character photos with Kyra! I am so Jealous of Alice though, I have never seen her in the parks and she's one of the few I would do a scrum for now:rotfl::rotfl:

I do think it is ridiculous that you even had to ask for Ariel and Eric to come to your table! They should be the ones to make sure they meet and greet everyone esp as its the dearest place to eat and doesn't really have great food!:sad2: (in my opinion anyway).
It makes me mad when you try so hard and you turn up early and they use that opportunity to shove you in the corner because your only two people.. I find that happens a lot! However at least in the end you got to meet everyone and get lovely photos :goodvibes

I have to say I always love how you dress kyra in her dresses. I find a lot of parents put clothes under the outfit that just don't make it look good at all. but you always do it really well! I understand though parents either buy the dress in the park or are just afraid of the child getting cold though.

Great trip report so far! Can't wait to read more!:wizard:

Hey Aveen :goodvibes

I know what you mean about the food in the Auberge, its not really the type of food i eat.

And about the dresses, someone that understands me when i say i dont like to put Kyra's disney dresses over her normal clothes. If it was cold then i wouldn't let her wear them. luckily for us it was boiling hot that week :rotfl:

[eeyorefanuk]

Really lovely pictures again and Kyra gets cuter and cuter :goodvibes

awwwwwwwwwwwwww feel free to make many more of these videos she is just adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the end with her hugging prince charming as well as the princess cus most children just go to the princess and thats it! I love her in her wee minnie mouse dress!!

she's just such a wee cutie!:lovestruc

[jenseib]

Wonderful video. I know you told me before, but what do you use to do that? And where do you find the songs to include? I think I want to try and make one with pictures. I didn't take much video, because I basically suck at taking it. LOL! :confused3
I love the update as well. She reminds me so much of Claire with all her costumes!

I use windows Movie maker, and i basically use the songs i have either downloaded or have on cd to add to the video. Its quite easy to do, just import your pics and what song you want into movie maker and then add effects and stuff. My first slideshow i did sucked though :lmao:

[DLPdaft]

Fabulous trip report Emma - I adore Kyra doing her Minnie pose :lovestruc.
You're so right, its wonderful when you little one is at the age to enjoy and still be awestruck with all the characters, it still makes me so happy to see my DD get that way when we're at DLRP :goodvibes.

[ukstitch]

I know they have a job to do but these questions should off been asked when i was checking in onto the Eurostar not on the train.

The reason it happens on the train rather than when you check in is because they are different organisations.

The people who check you at the station are french border police and so are basically interested in making sure it's ok for you to actually leave France.

The people who check you on the train on the other hand are uk border police (this is why you don't have to go through passport control when you reach st pancras / ashford) and are interested in making sure it's ok for you to enter Britain.

I don't know what the "rules" of french border control are, but I do know that UK border control have a specific duty to ensure that all children are being brought into the country "correctly" - this is why children can not go through the special IRIS scanners at airport arrivals because they need to be presented to an immigration official. It is this duty that would have lead to all those questions, so I wouldn't take it too personally :goodvibes

[DLPdaft]

Conversely, I've had the scrutiny at CDG, by the passport control officers there, when I took my niece with us. She has a different surname to me, and I do think thats why they took so long over her passport, compared to ours, and compared to all other times I've gone through passport control at CDG.

[eeyorefanuk]

Thank you for your trip report, really enjoyed it and Kyra at the end of your video asking to come back soon - cute :goodvibes

Well maybe i wouldnt of taken it personally if others were presented with the same questions, the lady sitting in front of me was a single parent and her child had its fathers surname but never got asked, yet i did....funny that :rolleyes:

[jenseib]

Loved the report. That last video is great. Claire watched it and loved it too. Especially since it was a Hannah Montann song. LOL!

I use windows Movie maker, and i basically use the songs i have either downloaded or have on cd to add to the video. Its quite easy to do, just import your pics and what song you want into movie maker and then add effects and stuff. My first slideshow i did sucked though :lmao:

Ok, I kind of figured out the windows player to load pics on, but now for music. I have know clue how to download music on my computer. (I don't onw mp3 or ipod). Also where can you find Disney music for download. I want Supercalifragilistic Expialidoucious, and not sure where to find the real one. Not a ringtone.

[Mrsweasley]

You DD is just beautiful :) Imagine getting to dance with a Prince, I am beyond jealous :lovestruc

[ghockley1981]

great trip report Em, made me smile. Can't wait to hear all about your next one!

[Stitch's Girl]

aw a great last day and finish to the report! The photos are beautiful as always! love the way Kyra is perfecting her Minnie Mouse pose hehe! Very class indeedy!!:dance3:

I am sure it was annoying and upsetting being questioned as if you were a child kidnapper! You are right that that is probably why you were picked out and as you say its understandable they are doing their job but it should have been done before you got on the train and not afterwards!:sad2:

I can't wait for you to go back so we can have another great trip report! although I am totally jealous hehe!

[disney_princess_85]

Great report Emma! Kyra is lovely- what a fab collection of outfits she's got. :)

[britchic4]

Lovely to read the whole thing Emma!!
And just to try to make you feel more positive about the whole being questioned about Kyra's name being different thing, try to be grateful they do this. It means Kyra's dad theoretically couldn't leave the country with her without your permission. When she was 3 our niece was taken to Spain by her mother without BIL's knowledge. She is now 10 and he hasn't seen her since. Interpol are involved but because Spain hasn't signed some agreement her mother can't be forced to bring her back, and since her passport would be confiscated the moment she stepped foot in this country she is unlikely to be popping over for a visit. In theory, if these restrictions had been in place 7 years ago she couldn't have done it.
I know you were more bothered that they were checking you because Kyra is biracial, but if you think about it that could work the other way too and make them more likely to check Kyra's dad or anyone similar trying to kidnap (because it officially is kidnap if you don't have both parents' permission) their children. Just to give you another viewpoint.

Lovely to read the whole thing Emma!!
And just to try to make you feel more positive about the whole being questioned about Kyra's name being different thing, try to be grateful they do this. It means Kyra's dad theoretically couldn't leave the country with her without your permission. When she was 3 our niece was taken to Spain by her mother without BIL's knowledge. She is now 10 and he hasn't seen her since.

That is not true, I don't need my DD fathers permission take her out of the country as we were never married.

I was never married either to Kyra's Dad, i do know that because he is named on the birth certificate that he has parental responsibilites (not that he has ever shown a interest in them :rolleyes:). But seeing as we do not speak i dont even have his phone number i don't see what business it is if i take DD on holiday or not.

I'm pretty sure if i went and lived in France with DD and we never came back he wouldn't even care anyway.

Sorry, I wasn't clear, I was meaning moving out of the country rather than going on holiday, which is what these restrictions are for.

Thanks Marcus :)

I have just finished your report and loved it.... Your DD is so cute in her dresses and it looks like you had a great trip. It's nice to read a TR from someone who has been there so many times before cause I'm always worried that I'll be bored when I go, cause I've been there like 10 times or something... But now I'm just looking forward to going for christmas.

I know what you mean, having been 7 times in 18 months people assume i get bored of going so often, but in fact if i could go more i would. We go again in November so need to make the most of it as we are giving DLP a miss next year due to DD starting school etc.

I've just read this from beginning to end. Another great trip report. My favourite dress is the Alice one - Kyra looks beautiful in that. My DD (5) was nosing over my shoulder and saw Kyra and said, 'Wow, she looks so nice.':goodvibes
