Me - 33
DH - 34
DD - 22 months
When - 15th - 19th November
Where - Sequoia Lodge
Day 1 - 15th November 2010
After a mad dash across London to get to St. Pancras International we made it, just with minutes to spare. Standard Premium was brilliant. Seats were wide & had a nice recline on them and breakfast was OK.

After a 2 1/2 hour journey we arrived. We walked through Disney Village & straight to Sequoia Lodge where there was only 1 other family queueing up to check in. We checked in & our room was ready straight away & we had been upgraded to a Lakeview Montana Room (room 2120) which was lovely with lots of space.

After dropping our luggage in the room we went to the Concierge desk & booked dinner at Cafe Mickey for Thursday night (DH's birthday).
We then headed to the parks and decided to start with Disneyland Park. It was just as I remembered it from our trip in December 1998. We walked straight up to Fantasyland and had some lunch in Chalet Marionnette which I wasn't really impressed with. It was very very dark & the food was OK. DD was asleep so we wandered around for a bit. Once she woke up it was nearly time for the Once Upon A Dream Parade to start so we stood in front of Fantasia Gelati. DD's face when she saw Mickey & Minnie was a picture. We then spent the next 20 minutes listening to her shouting "Hello, Mickey, hello, Minnie, hello, Pooh bear........" She didn't like the villains much though.

We didn't watch the whole parade because we noticed the queue for IASM was non-existent so we took DD on her first ride. She was a bit perplexed & wasn't sure what to make of it gripping both of our hands very very tightly. We spent the rest of the time in Fantasyland. She also loved Casey Jr. and went on it 4 times on the trot without having to get off.
We headed back to the Town Square to see Fantillusion and got a spot right in the square in front of the gate where the floats exit. There was a CM that kept DD amused whilst we waited. Once the parade had finished we headed out of the park and to DV for dinner. The queues everywhere were very very long but we managed to get a table at Planet Hollywood. Service was really good & food was nice. After dinner we strolled back to the hotel and all went to bed.
