Any March Events

[Florimel]

Hi - every time I read this board I get a little more excited about our upcoming trip.
We are booked for 15th to 18th March as a surprise birthday trip for DD. Although we don't do St Patrick's at home really I had noticed that they seemed to have some events on at DLP in previous years, but I haven't managed to find any specifics. Does anyone know as I'm at the planning stage with meals / park days etc?

Nothing specific, just this page on the Ireland website.

Thanks for coming up with this so quickly - that's great, I didn't know there was an Ireland website, being more mainland UK, so that's a really helpful tip. Is not specific with dates but there does seem to be a possibiltiy of fireworks at least - DD is especially fond, and missed the ones in the summer as they were cancelled due to a thunderstorm.

Unfortunatly I think that will be the only thing on as the 15th Celebrations finish at the beginning of March (7th I think) and Mickey's Magical Party doesn't start until the 28th March.

You're welcome, I've seen the St. Patricks fireworks from previous years on Youtube and it'll be a nice treat, they usually have them on the day itself the 17th.
We're there from 12th - 16th, so will miss them.
We're also celebrating birthdays - DS's on the 12th and mine on the 17th. I'm actually looking forward to 'hopefully' a quieter park than we experienced during our last 2 trips, despite missing the 15th celebrations I'm sure you'll still have a lovely time and I'm hoping it's not going to be too cold.

Hmmm...I did until I realsied that it's going to be along the lines of the Dancing Mat series of games. So it will be left foot on green, right foot on blue....just seems a little tacky after the wonderful 15th Celebrations
