A very early pre trip report!
Dates: Sunday 7th November - Friday 12th November staying at the fabulous Hotel New York.
Travelling from Glasgow to London by train the day before to visit family. Getting to DLP and back by eurostar, and returning to Glasgow by sleeper train on Friday night. Flight times would have lost us two days in the park so we are having a rail adventure!
The cast: me (Lisa) age 22 - absolute Disney geek. I'm the planner and the others fear I'll be running the trip with military precision (they might be right) love most characters but stitch became a favourite on last years DLP trip, and chip and Dale are my all-time faves. Best rides RnRC and TOT.
My sister Samantha aged 17 - loves Disney too just not quite so obsessed as me. Winnie the pooh is her favourite! I converted her to big rides on our 2009 trip so we will be fastpassing like crazy.
My mum Morna hates thrill rides but loves the Disney magic, BTM and IASW and has always wanted to go at Christmas. Wants to meet mrs incredible!
Our past trips:
1994 - DLP, Hotel Cheyenne (Mum, Dad, Sami and Me)
2000 and 2003 - Family holidays to WDW Florida (offsite)
2006 - DLP and Paris for my 18th birthday (offsite, just me and mum)
2009 - DLP, Hotel New York (just me and Samantha)
So this is our first time with all three of us there together since 1994! We can't wait. For those parents taking their young kids to Disney these days, you may well still be taking them aged 22 - be warned lol.
Aims for the trip - ride RnRC a million times! It was shut during my trip last September and I was gutted.
Go for a nosey in all the other hotels!
Ice skating at hny
Meet tiana and naveen
Plan for meals (will probably change)
Sunday - walts
Monday - manhattan
Tuesday - annettes
Wednesday - steakhouse
Thursday - cafe mickey
Friday - lucky nugget
We are none of us massive eaters so lunches will probably be light snacks from stalls etc.
We all get along well (and we look alike too) here is a photo of us:
This was in Lanzarote last year, my dad was taking the picture and he and my boyfriend Leith were making us laugh but I can't even remember why!
I found our old "EuroDisney" photos (since that's what it was in 1994), so here is a photo of the last time the three of us were in DLP together:
And finally here is a snap of me and Samantha in DLP last year, sporting more Disney merchandise than you can shake a stick at:
Phew we booked our trip in March so even though its still over 3 months away its starting to feel close now, I've had loads of fun writing this PTR lol.

- I really hope I am still taking my DD to DLP when she's 22 
.
she's pleased that when it comes to Disney, we never grew up (and probably never will)
My DAD was with me on my last trip (and step mum) and three times I got asked out....and three times my dad yanked me away and said NON NON NON to the poor CM's and shook his fist 
didn't stop them though! Not bad for a 37 year old 
i dont think your PTR is early... started mine and we're going in eeeeeeeeeeerm march
