14 hours to go!

[dlpSteve]

My journey starts at 7am (ish), depending on the Taxi being prompt, and then it's a quick train journey to St Pancras and the Eurostar to Disneyland Paris! I'm staying in Hipark Serris-Val d'Europe tomorrow night and Hotel New York Saturday night.

I'll be tweeting (link in sig), data connection permitting, all through the weekend - starting with the Fireworks and Bonfire tomorrow night, then the first Christmas Cavalcade and Parade with Frozen float on Saturday, and then Christmas Wishes and Disney Dreams! of Christmas on Saturday night.

I'll be taking photos and videos a plenty, so let me know if you have any requests!

Also, I will be interviewing three key people involved with the Disneyland Paris Christmas season and I'm opening it up to all of you. Do you have any questions you'd like to ask, about their area of involvement?

The three are:

Emmanuel Lenormand (The Frozen Float in the Parade)

Vasile Sirli (Christmas Music)

Ben Spalding (Disney Dreams! Of Christmas)

Now I have to get home and pack - I have no idea what I'm going to wear

I know I've just come back Steve but I'm already looking at going back.

Seems today that most of the stuff has had a soft opening - calvalcade and Sandy are all over twitter and no doubt Dreams will be leaked tonight! Even the Studios has lights!! All the decs are being tweeted and its too much to handle....I'm going to be worse than the duracel bunny at Christmas!
Looking forward to seeing the new looking float though, will be interesting to hear about the concept as the artwork looks stunning. And always good to hearcabout the music side, this often gets forgotten!
Will be listening out for this
