    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    Next we headed into Peter Pan and with the fastpass didn't have to queue for long. We did Peter Pan last time we were at DLP and again weren't impressed - It's too dark to see much in there and the boats go too fast for it to be a sightseeing ride, the ride isn't smooth and has a couple of...

    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    It had been cold overnight so had to scrape some thick ice off the car before we could head in - and even though it you couldn't see it the road leading up the the carpark at Disney has sheet ice. Someone ahead of us had run off the road and as the cars ahead slowwed we discovered how icy it was...

    Walt's - Express Menu

    We were there over our half term (11th to 15th Feb) and had the express lunch at the silver spur and walts fine. Not sure how they manage that as it'll be school holidays for different countries at different times ... Sounds like a fob off to me

    Walt's - Express Menu

    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    Miss Badger was starting to flag again so we headed over to the First Aid area (over near the Plaza gardens) to get her checked, where some nice medical types checked her temperature, and gave us info on how to get to the pharmacy and how to get a doctor out. They advised getting the Doctor...

    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    By now we had decided this Miss Badger was poorly so decided to take things easier and have a later start - so started the day with a trip to the Pool at the DCR. I'd advise bringing your own towels from home anyway as the cabin towels are a bit small and otherwise you'll need to rent towels...

    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    And then we were off to the Wild West Show - Mrs Badger is Asthmatic so we had to fill in a form before they let us in, but once that was done we were off - Blue Moon ranch for us. Everyone very happy with the hats - although I did end up wearing all three for a while. A quick meet/greet with...

    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    Something I missed out was we met Pluto and Minnie over in the Toon stuidio bit - Pluto had a queue/minder and Minnie seemed to be managing ok without. Worth a look if you are over in the Studios as much quieter than Disneyland. Pluto in particular was a star with some quality goofing...

    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    Miss Badger was starting to flag by now so we ditched our Buzz Lightyear Fastpasses and headed over to the studios on the grounds that they had things to do indoors out of the cold. First up Art of Animation interactive bit, this provided a fair amount of button pressing fun without being too...

    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    We let Miss Badger have a lie in on Day 2 after the early starts so we started the day by rolling into Salon Mickey at around 9.30ish. There was another family in there who left shortly after us so we had the place to ourselves to enjoy a cookie/pastry and hot drink and use the fancy toilets...

    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    The kids meal was some kind of cheese cube thing, a choice of pasta, burger or chicken I think and either fruit salad or ice cream. Miss Badger chose the pasta, which was a filled tortillini in a tomato sauce and the bit I had was nice but I think she was expecting normal pasta. The starter...

    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    I'd already booked the Silver Spur the week before which was a good thing as although the place was at best half full it was a case of reservation or you're not getting in. You do have to ask for the express menu specifically (Express menu please is the magic term) and trying to keep hold of...

    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    We set off at around 7 am - there was still snow on the side of the roads but luckily the roads were clear - the satnav did take us down some narrow roads though so it wasn't the best drive. Arrived at the DCR reception at arounf 7.15 and went in, walked out with our tickets ready in about 5...

    The Badger Family's trip to DLP - Feb 2013

    After a crack of dawn start we headed to the EuroTunnel terminal for a 6.20 am crossing - the crossing is pretty boring but it's quick and I dislike ferries when it's rough. We could also use tesco vouchers to keep the cost down. Upon arrival in France we headed down to Nausicaa at Boulogne...
