Back from a fantastic trip!

[smallpig]

We got back last night from a brilliant trip to DLP in the amazingly hot weather - will do a TR but thought I'd post the customary highs and lows!

Thanks for all the tips and advice on here which definitely helped us make the most of it. My OH is officially converted and already talking about next time!

Highs-
Everything - we just had a fantastic time all round! Just as good as I remembered if not better!
Super hot weather every day - felt like Florida and could have done with a water ride!
Eurostar - took the indirect service via Lille, very straight forward and loved being right at St Pancras and not hours away at the airport
Ibis hotel - basic but clean and comfy, right by the RER station and only 2 mins journey from Marne La Vallee
Top rides - Buzz, ToT, BTM


Lows -well, there aren't any really, quite a few ride closures but we did everything we wanted to (except Crush and Indiana Jones, which we knew were closed beforehand - next time!) Food wasn't amazing but always found something we liked and the cost was pretty reasonable compared to UK theme parks - and we didn't try the nicer restaurants in the hotels to be fair, as trying to save ££. Nothing to complain about!

Thanks everyone - now to plan for a new countdown, we have APs to use!

Sounds like a fab trip!

Was it easy to find the right train for DLP at Lille as am considering the indirect route (for cost reasons!) for next trip - but would have kids in tow.

I know, the clouds were coming in just as we left - weather forecast had said rain earlier in the day so I nearly brought my poncho to the parks, but would have felt quite stupid carrying it around in the sweltering heat! Thanks for the info re the train tickets - was very handy to know!

Yep -we just checked the train number/destination on the big departures board and went back down to the right platform. There's a sign on the platform which tells you where on the platform each carriage will stop so you can get ready in the right place, and the train stopped for plenty of time for everyone to get on and sorted.

The way back was even easier with obvious signs to get back on to the Eurostar and no way of ending up on the wrong train at all!
