Hi all
sadly we got back on the 26th after 7 great days at the parks will do a trip report soonish.......
but just to say thank you for all the useful info provided before hand
1.took my printout of the under 7's AP offer to guest relations and got 4 dream passports for 358 euro's(2 under 7's free)did not pay for entrance into the park for the kids that way
2.purchased 2 carte oranges no problem for zone 4/5 we stayeed in bussy and went to Auchan supermarket most days so saved on train fares....remembered to take passport photos with us to do this
3.thank you thank you thank you
just some wee pieces of snipets of info that may help others before doing a trip report
stroller hire has gone up to 7.50 euros per stroller per day......there are some new 3 wheeler strollers if you are early with bigger wheels much easier to manouver if you get there early they do not get stuck in the tram lines and are much easier to push
BEWARE....we had ours stollen whilst parked up while we went on a ride no bags or anything on them thankfully...maybe worth taking a wee padlock to secure them if you are away from them for a while.(ours where free hire with the dream passports so it was not to big a problem)but we did find the 2 of them later on in the day and courtiously stole them back and left the older ones in there place they both had the name labels on them i had written earlier on in the day .....it was quite satisfying retrieving them just to prove a point.
if you are buying character photos of the kids they are cheaper the bigger pack you order such as 15 euro for 1 photo 32 euros for 5 or there abouts i cannot remember exactly but they store the photos for 2 days so if your kids have a few different character photos done buy the on the 2nd day and buy 5 different ones we just viewed them on the day kept the slips of the ones we liked and purchased them with the other ones done on day 2 makes it a lot cheaper than buying them individually
EMH worked well used them twice in the evening managed to get wristbands from the locker area straight after the parade at about 4.45pm
on saturday and sunday(morning EMH) passports were checked at the baggage area at the gates for entrance beyond that point.....in the mornings managed about 4/5 rides easy in the time like walking onto peter pan twice within 5 min of each time the same for buzz and spent more time walking from buzz to space mountain 2 than i queued to go on it definatelty worth it.
morning EMH hours were better though the park was so quiet and gave you a chance to take family pics away from crowds.Though no characters that i saw during EMH
with dream AP'S there was a voucher that gave 20% discount for 1 time at the venues for eating between 12-6 at each restaraunt in the disney village ie 1 time at cafe mickey 1 time at rainforest cafe you get the drift they stamp it once you have been to the relevant restaraunt and it is valid untill december 2007 so can be used on any return visit if you dont visit all the venues we used it for lunch at cafe mickey making it a bit cheaper as we already had a dinner there earlier in the holiday.
also we filled our memory card on the camera maybe not worth a trip specifically but if you go there anyway for groceries at Auchan we put 400+ photos onto cd for 2.50 euro where as the shop at main street charge 12 euro per 120 photos.......slight difference compared to 48 euros it would have cost to do the same in the park.
loads more to say but i know this is a bit boring reading its late and i will have my clear head for my trippie report and make it more intresting.....
only downside for those with young kids believing the characters are the real Mcoy is that the studios were a little bit less coordinated with the charaters there is an increased presence of them but minnie was signing as we left the main park then in front lot in studios at the same time she appeared on the lilo and stitch stage fotunately we managed to bluff our kids but it is just something i had never noticed before this trip so be ready to bluff your kids if need be, ours found out about the hidden corriders under the ground so minnie could get about quickly to see everyone it seemed to work anyhow thats all for now i will get my head together for the trp report to try and make it intresting for you all
