    Magic of Christmas & Birthday celebrations Day 5.....

    Have just read your whole report and glad you had such a great time :) My son does not sound dissimilar to your youngest, but with age he is MUCH better and we can actually do queuing now - woohoo!!

    Boy drowns in Explorers Hotel Pool

    How scary for you. I can completely understand how it happened in your case, children can be darn fast! Thing is in Explorers you go past the desk, then through changing rooms, then you have to go through the foot pool which is not just a puddle, it is a substantial size - quite poss, I...

    Our second pre-Christmas Disney Trip - Day 3

    He even went on RnR last year! They kept measuring him as they couldn't believe he was big enough, but he was and I spent the 4 rides gripping his leg! It is 1.20m for RnR and 1.40m for Indy - doesn't make much sense to me either, but there you go! Space Mountain is 1.32m and Freds is 1.31m...

    Our second pre-Christmas Disney Trip - Day 2

    And I thought I erred on the side of caution, I take so many pics, last year I think I took over 300 :scared1: Not quite so many this year as the weather wasn't so kind, but enough for memories :) I have a vid I have put together that I need to upload and will post when I have done so.

    Boy drowns in Explorers Hotel Pool

    No life guard, I checked out the day they arrived and we were in the pool that morning. I went cold when I heard about this earlier, knowing we had been playing where he died, utterly tragic :( I did say in my report about how shocked I was by the amount of children who seemingly had no...

    One week to go!! Choose our first ride of the trip!

    Well certainly not Peter Pan from me, none of us rate it highly (I am cringing as I write this LOL!) I think BTMRR is the best ride in the Park, so I would go there!

    Upgrading DLP Passes

    Am as annoyed as you Gemma, we went last year and this year, so 8 days in a year and didn't even know about the APs - gutted! We want to go back again in Oct time and will have to buy stand alones again ARGH!

    Our second pre-Christmas Disney Trip - Day 4 and conclusion!

    Up, breakfast, off to Studios, me hoping and praying Crush would be back online - IT WAS!!!!!!!! And the queue was already 40mins! Still, we didn't mind and duly queued and completely loved it as usual - it really is so clever, I love how you hover OVER the narrow track, it is a good...

    Our second pre-Christmas Disney Trip - Day 3

    Alarm went off at 8am (I thoroughly admire all of you who get up earlier than that - where DO you get the energy?!) and we had breakfast and then headed for the Studios, which I had been waiting for as we managed to get on Crush last year and I was SO looking forward to riding it again that I...

    Our second pre-Christmas Disney Trip - Day 2

    So after eating we went on Star Tours (again...x2) and then decided to do "Honey I Shrunk The Audience" as we kept missing it last year....the Kodak plugging whilst waiting to go in is cringeworthy and very American (IMHO - no offence meant). In we go, looking mighty fine... We sat down and...

    Our second pre-Christmas Disney Trip - Day 2

    We had not managed to aquire 9am breakfast passes, so 8.30am it was! The breakfast at Explorers is poor - continental, but no ham or meats, just cereal, pain-au-chocolate, crouissant or brioche, yoghurts, a couple of choices of fruit, SALAD (how odd) and some cheese cubes. The hot choc and...

    Our second pre-Christmas Disney Trip - Day 1

    Well, I wasn't going to write a report, being a newbie, but there are so many negative experiences being reported that I wanted to do a positive one! The protagonists of the trip were Me (34), Daddy (38), Benjy (8) and Freds (7). We didn't tell the boys until we were leaving Oxford and they...

    Ride questions..

    I don't even know where Casey is, how sad is that! The fairytale Storybook ride sounds like the one I have heard mentioned, I know the themed ones :) I couldn't get my boys on Snow White or Pinocchio, but sounds as though we didn't miss anything as the youngest is scared of the dark (but loves...

    Ride questions..

    Sorry, ******* here :banana: Having been to DLP twice, I thought I knew it all...this evening I have realised that I really do not and there are some questions I have, if anyone would indulge me with answers :wizard: 1) What is "Casey" - I see it mentioned, I have no idea what it is...

    What do you love about DLRP?

    I love the fact that my sons love it SO much. Last year and this year the trips were a suprise and my youngest (now 7) sobbed his heart out when he realised where we were going - Disney keeps them young, how children SHOULD be - they are both convinced Mickey is real and I love that. I love...

    Maybe, just maybe...lost bag

    Thanks for the welcome :) I wish I had known about this place before, I am sure we would have picked up lots of tips! I shall certainly stay around and use the higher knowledge when we book our next trip - it is becoming a yearly pilgrimage for us at Christmas! I will contact City Hall - many...
