I just got back last night from my solo trip to DLP! I had an amazing time, although it's nice to be home!
Highs:
-Queue times!
When I went in the summer I didn't do a quarter of what I managed to do this time! Loads of rides were walk ons so I just went on the over and over! The longest wait I had was around 15/20 minutes for BTM and that was only because people wanted out of the pouring rain! I got so much done in such a little amount of time.
- Christmas decs
The tree was still up in the park on the first day and the garland thingies down main street were up the whole time. So pretty.
-Sequoia Lodge
Thank you so much for recommending it. it was so beautiful and cosy! The Christmas decs were still up and it just looked amazing. I loved the room design too. I called and requested a room in the Yellowstone Lodge a few months before and got it! It was so convenient and saved my short little legs miles of walking!
- Character Interaction.
Ok, so I'm 24 so I don't expect to be treated like the children (even though it's nice because I never got to go to Disneyland as a kid ) but I just had the best interaction with the characters! I accidentally bumped into Jack Sparrow and he was a blast (and so convincing!!), I stood opposite Bella Notte for the parade and no one was around because of the pouring rain so I got loads of high-fives, waves and hellos. Inventions, need I say more? It was lovely
-Meeting a fellow DISers for Inventions! Thanks Heather, I had a great time!
- Walt's.
Oh. My. God. The food was amazing. I can't praise it enough. I can't wait to go back!
-Agrabah Cafe
I love love love the themeing and the food was yummy. Best kebab meat ever.
-Dreams
I'd watched it on youtube but we didn't really watch it properly on my August trip as it was a long day and we were a bit exhausted. It was really is gorgeous. I got a bench really close to the castle and read my book for a while beforehand, I didn't even need to stand up to get a perfect view
- Vinylmation and Pins
Why did no one tell me how fun this is?! I started my collections and had so much fun trading!
Lows:
- Nothing Disney related, really.
I started to get ill the night before I left and wasn't feeling my best! I had to go to the first aid rooms a few times and lie down. They wanted me to go to hospital if I didn't improve!
-Cleaners!
I had a lie in a few days as I was feeling too ill to sleep during the night and they just knock and knock and knock until you open the door! I understand they have a job to do but it's too much.
-My mobile broke.
Not very nice when I was there all alone. I had to keep feeding the payphone or using my ipod touch and the wifi to contact people!
I had the best trip and I can't wait to go back! Trip report to follow soon
