Well thats us back from the magic, we were there from Mon 10th - Thurs 14th. This was our first time having to go in School hols and a bit of an eye opener for us, we've been so spoilt in the past going in Sept!
It was bitterly cold, and thats saying something considering we live in the North of Scotland where its always cold! All in all we had a good time despite of this!
Highs for us - the chararcter interaction at Cafe Mickey was great this time round, we luved the princess pavilion (the warmth for an hour was welcoming!), getting to meet Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan for the 1st time, and of course, the hot chocolate!
Lows for us - many rides and eating places in the park closed, queue times and Hotel Cheyenne
As I say, this is the 1st time for us in School hols and its the busiest its been for us. Have previously stayed at Cheyenne and loved the theming, but found the room quite run down and shabby this time, also the place was riddled with school kids/groups of teenagers who were noisy at night times and left to run a mock, don't understand why they don't put all the groups in buildings together, we were at the end of a corridor full of big groups. Will not be staying here again.
We ate at the Rainforest Cafe the 1st night, which we all enjoyed, I had the curry which was lovely! The 2nd night we ate at Planet Hollywood, I had the chicken burger which was ok, hubby's pizza was delicious though! The last night we managed to get a reservation at Cafe Mickey, we booked this as soon as we checked in and this was the only night and time we could get. Our booking was at 5.30pm and we were worried that we wouldn't get to see much of the characters, how wrong were we, turned out to be a great time! Food was ok, I had the pizza and think the one I get at Tesco's is nicer..lol! But the character interaction was well worth it!
So home to look at when we can next go..lol! Schools hols now an issue for us, but hey, I'm sure we'll cope!
