Okay, okay...we are actually back a week now, but can't get round to doing a trippie. Basically, a great week overall but a small bit of the magic has faded for me. The staffing at DLP was quite surprising compared to previous visits. I think someone else mentioned CM's who had "lost the magic" and I certainly found this to be true. I don't know if this was a summer trainee problem or what, but there was certainly an air of despondancy within the camp.
Daughter took ill for 4 of the days, so that was a bummer. We had to call the doctor and she did her best to enjoy it regardless. Poor little mite. Highlights were having a private meeting with Jack Sparrow for my son, and a get well meeting with Cinderella for my daughter. The parade was excellent and the Buzz ride was a great new adventure for me.
Lowlights were the weather and the sometimes miserable CM's. I also had a tough time as some CMs now seem to have neither English or French as a language and it was hard to communicate.
Major disappointments were the crowds of disgustingly rude visitors (no nationalities mentioned...ahem!). Seriously, I had to scream at a woman who was pushing ahead of a wheelchair bound lad. Really took the edge off the whole experience for me. My daughter ended up in tears so many times when kids and parents alike barged passes her to get to a character, leaving her lost from my view and panicking.
I tried to remain calm, but to be honest it has put me off going back for the forseeable future.
Will post pics as soon as I get a minute. Hope all got their postcards okay!!
