Day Four *sniff*

Off goes the alarm and im up and out of bed, and sorted before anyone else has moved lol im a woman on a mission today!!! So much to try and do, rnr to fit in so fin can get his 2 rides in…..
We all get to breakfast for 7.15am – partially due to me having packed the breakfast ticket in the car, so after finishing car packing and retrieving the ticket we are on schedule (lol) and miraculously we are done and out for 7.45am – how did that happen??? We do get to the park before opening – 3 times in a row – result!!! Dh remarks, I don’t remember doing this before – I say, that’s because we are never up early enough before!!!

Now – this is where we weren’t sure how we wud get on, but the hotel pass for emh doesn’t have the number of ppl on, so we were able to get into the park by using cays ticket for dh! Naughty I know, but he wouldn’t have paid anyhow, as he had a free ticket – just cudnt pick it up until ticket office opened. So, this meant we all got in for emh and dh had fun on all the rides (dumbo to start with as usual) and finishing with buzz!!

Then, due to having dh, we were able to do orbitron (too hard with me and the boys) and after I saw sm2 only had 10 min wait…… I mean, it was nearly 10 yrs since id been on it…… so dh said go for it, so he got in the queue for autopia (another first lol) I went off for sm2. verdict???? Well, ive finally got rid of the headache that came on after it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was better than I remembered, but like u all say, very head throw abouty and it really hurt my neck :scared1: anyhow, id done it so onto autopia – we let the boys drive – and after that neither will be allowed a provisional licence until they are 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They enjoyed it tho – the important thing!! and then headed off to studios….

We did all the bits we wanted – rnr fabulous as usual!!! But compared to sm2………….. rnr def better – rnr will remain no 1 to me!! :thumbsup2 Fin got his usual 2 goes on it (baby swap as cay too small) then I said shall we try tot as dh hadn’t been on it. Fin was ok with it, and cay didn’t seem bothered…… until we sat in the lift, and then he screamed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt awful, but it was too late by then, and then fin started to cry……………. Dh and laughed thru it all and dh thought it was great!! Both boys were fine the minute it stopped – so guess thatll be a while before we can get them on it again!! Managed to fit in a ride on cars (of course) and also a visit to stitch – very disappointing – reckon all the ppl in that show had never been to it before, and NO ONE reacted. At one point, fins voice was the only one when stitch spoke to the kids!!!! So really didn’t seem that good, yet ppl talking on the way out were sayin how good it was!?!?!?!?! I wanted to say well y didn’t u talk then!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All done in the park then – as we were running out of time – we headed to annettes for lunch – a good meal and no probs – except they never brought us any cutlery!!! Not a prob really, as the food didn’t hang around for long lol back into the park we all went, onto phantom manor – a first for dh, and then to btm – but they had no space for cays easy pass until after the time we were going to leave :sad1: felt sorry for cay, as he does love that ride, but I was feelin quite ill with my head now, and as I had a 2 hr drive ahead we didn’t want to hang around too much longer….. so, we thought – he loves buzz, lets try that, and managed to be given a time for just after the parade – so buzz wud be our final ride….. watched the parade on the corner opp bella notte, getting sum good shots,

and then battled the crowds to buzz for our last ride – woooooooo hooooooooooooo I got my best ever score!!!!!

Will frame this lol cay didn’t really shoot this time – think he was just so tired now he wanted bed. So, off we went, a quick stop at the sweet shop (€58 lol) and back to the hotel….. and then back to cambrai………..

We definitely got a lot packed into the trip, mostly helped by cays easy pass, but it made the trip easier for me, cay was quite relaxed for most of it, loved the characters & princesses & they both got loads of rides in. we didn’t spend much, €20 a day on food, and the boys spent their pocket money on soft toys – fin got a small mickey & a piglet, cay got a dumbo (for his fav ride) a small winnie pooh & a mickey holding Pluto. I bought 2 pins lol one thing tho – my snowglobe that cap’n jack brought back that had been half price – was back up to full price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure if we will go back again or not, i didnt cry as we left as usual - but do feel sad now were not there... I do want to go for Halloween, but like emma – it’s the new celebrations that put me off. I miss candleabration at the end of the day….. so, the trip is still in planning, but might wait for the next load of celebrations before returning…..
 
Great trip report, I love trip reports.

Your boys really looked like enjoying themselves and especially Cay :hug:
 
Wow you got some fabulous pictures .Im glad you enjoyed your trip.Thanks for sharing .Icant wait to go .Ihope we get to see lots of charactors my friend will be busy sewing dresses for the next few weeks .I have Mary poppins Belle gown & several with other charactors. Iwill drive my daughter crazy to get the pictures.How did you know where the charactors would be ?Thanks again.:cool1::cool1::banana::banana:
 
Glad you had a great trip Nikki and you got loads done. The boys seem to be really enjoying it.

Well done on that excellent Buzz score - glad the hints helped although I still never manage anywhere near that - probably because DD likes to be in control of the car and deliberatly turns it away if she sees me aiming for something significant (thats my excuse anyhow and Im sticking to it :rotfl:)

Thanks for taking the time to do the report - Ive read all the days
 

tanz - most of the characters are at the meet n greets, then u get characters that come on the party train, and sumtimes u see them walking around - usually in fantasyland near iasw. also - there are characters at dlh at 4pm.

smallworld - thats a brill excuse - and also my excuse y i didnt get higher - cay gets control lol except on the last one he was just too tired - but he managed level 3 on the first day - beat fin!!!!

yes - the boys did enjoy it, think they were tired, but we did cram alot in, but even so there are still things left to do that we havent done - but we did get lot of firsts this trip - maybe as i didnt have dh??? :lmao: will we be seein ur tr soon??? love to hear how ur days went, but it was lovely to see u even for such a short time....
 
Fabulous trippie Nikki, loved seeing all your photos with your boys and the characters. After seeing them all, I'm even more excited about watching Stars n Cars from behind the stage :love:.

well..... fessing up here - we never actually saw it all the way thru at all. wud catch sight if we walked by, but i really cudnt stand it. i think the music mickeys party time is growing on me, but that main show - i dunno - its just............ well, not disney - at least, not how i think it shud be. i know ive only ever experienced candleabration out of all the 'themes' but that i felt summed up disney, and this party - just isnt the same. neither of the boys asked to watch it - whereas fin asked to see the spaceship to see what happened, and did try n join in and dance with stitch - hence me prefering that (yet again only watchin it once!!)

I love the MMP music, just a shame the show looks lame! I give you a medal for watching Dance Time with Stitch though :lmao: I'm really not looking forward to watching that.

I agree Mickey sounds very weird in French, his voice is just far too high.

yes - like hes on helium!!! it just made me unable to watch it... that n the orange shell suit type outfits :lmao:
 
I enjoyed reading your trip report. It sounds like you & the boys had a great time. I must say that I admire you going with 2 small boys on your own & getting there so early every morning & for getting so much done each day.
