    Flash...ahhhh - ahhhh!

    Really struggling with the fact that we can't afford to go this year, so the flash sale email has not helped at all! :) Luckily, its going at Xmas time that would really drag me in, and that's not covered by this. Of course, the fact that all 3 of us could be there in October, at Santa Fe...

    Got Milk?

    Kudos for doing my trip with photos! :) pretty much spot on as I recall it. For those like me who don't use skimmed or semi in this country though, would recommend my original choice of the Lait Frais, which can be seen on the shelves in the photos there too. I quizzed a French colleague...

    Our first 'real' Christmas!

    Ooh, didn't expect this thread to ping back to life. :D I may never get to know about the Tea Stash. Unless we go back and request the same room. :D I did completely forget to add photos. Won't add too many here, as I made a decision on this holiday that we'd already got photos of most of...

    Our first 'real' Christmas!

    Quick update: Disney were apologetic, and are refunding the tickets i had to buy. I didn't push for anything extra for the inconvenience, but felt that the fact they never offered anything in any way shape or form for the annoyance, embarrassment and wasted time didn't reflect well on their...

    Rides/Show's Help!

    We didn't do Stitch and Playhouse this time around, but as I recall the printed programme makes it look like they are Very frequent, but doesn't list which language is on at those times. The iPhone app however did include that info next to each time listing, if thats any use to you! "Le...

    help saving stars and cars

    I must admit, we never saw the Show part of it in May (as if you didn't know what was going on, not being able to see past the crowds, you didn't know that the show was basically impossible to see from most locations (you were basically at the back of the stage, as I recall). However - what...

    Our first 'real' Christmas!

    To be fair, 90 minutes is about the minimum for my wife getting ready in the morning, I could get up at half 6. :D The esso station - an in the middle of nowhere, in the dark, unclear signs, 50/50 left or right choice type of things, both get me back, one being a long way, one being short. (I...

    Our first 'real' Christmas!

    The days after... and some other random thoughts I missed out... :D Tea Bags - the grandparents didn’t take their own supply of theirs either, so I didn’t have enough. I like Tetley, and did find Tetley English Breakfast in the Val supermarket, which were passable. There were various other...

    Our first 'real' Christmas!

    Trip day 5 No EMH today as we will check out early to save coming back until 6pm for the the taxi. Late to breakfast at 7.30, but we are intending to go straight to princess pavilion at 10-10.30, so it will be fine. Minnie in woodland outfit in reception at 8am, so stopped for that, and...

    Our first 'real' Christmas!

    Trip day 4 Usual breakfast, Grandparents skip it in order to drag their feet. :) We get to EMH a bit after opening, Peter Pan the first thing, twice, then as Dumbo was shut for repair we decided to give Small World another run (we are also buggied up today for speed) one Buzz, then to...

    Our first 'real' Christmas!

    Trip Day 3 Woke up at 4.30am and continued to force drinks into me until I felt normal - if somewhat like a balloon. Apparently the family had spent the previous night (while I was unconscious) complaining about me booking 7am breakfast slots (explains the daggers). Do I care? Nope. Parks...

    Our first 'real' Christmas!

    Trip day 2 Up, out, picked up, dropped off, all smooth sailing thanks to John at Ezyshuttle. Very busy left luggage at SL - again is this sort of thing the price you pay for a more budget friendly holiday? Ho hum. Checked in ready for key collection later, and set off to the parks. (Side note...

    Our first 'real' Christmas!

    Ok, be warned, my last trip report tended to skim over what actual rides were like etc and go straight for more obscure elements of the holiday. This one might be the same. :D Forgive me but, at time of writing this, I’ve not taken the pics off the camera, so there is none included here (though...

    We're back! So, it's still Christmas here?

    Just about recovered from our Xmas trip (left early last Saturday, back late night wednesday) and am busy working on my Trip Report! Quick summary (for those that wont want to read me rambling on about stuff that's completely non-disney, i.e. Milk) as I will do that... • Going to DLP at Xmas...

    Which of these rollercoasters are REALLY rollercoasters?

    Yes! We just got back and did Crush on the last day. Holy mother of all things Disney, what on earth are they thinking! I intend to email Disney complaining about that Ad, and asking them at what point do they think the ride rotates at a moderate speed with family members smiling and pointing...

    Weather?

    Real Feel temperatures, well that's a new un on me, thanks! Looks like it hits a low of 3 on sunday, but sitting generally around the 7-9 mark. Decent coats with normal clothes most of the time, wrapping up Sunday, especially for the parades, I would say. (Having to bear in mind that...

    Weather?

    Off to DLP on Saturday, and we've packed fairly 'warm'! Big coats, thermals, layers etc. But the weather here has been fairly Mild this week, and I don't want to end up making us all sweat our way around the parks! Wondered what the thoughts on temperature in DLP is like at the moment from...

    Rental Strollers

    Anyone know if that's true? If so, I spent a lot of unnecessary money last time! Going next week, so if I can save this time around, all the better. I thought though that it was a Passport perk, not Shareholders...

    Iphone access

    As a Mac/iPad/iPhone user, these unusable sites annoy me too... but... Flash sites have been annoying me for years before the 'i' revolution. They have been overly complicated and awkward to use for a long time - so the quicker the millions of iOS users sound their death toll, the better. (Even...
