Hi Everyone.
The aussietravellers are just checking in from the empire state club. We didn't get to do our single diget dance as we left for the UK from Australia before coming here. But just thought we would report in on the Empire State Club as we had read so many bad reports about the Hotel New York before coming and were a little nervous, but I have to say, it is fantastic! Everything so far has been just fantastic! The staff are all lovely and very helpful, check in was a breeze, our luggage was in our room when we arrived back after checking in, they called us on my mobile to let us know that the room was ready, the room is great and very clean (although my only complaint would be the bathroom needing a revamp and there is a big block of 9 tiles that are falling off the bath, but that is hardly a complaint). The vip fastpasses are a definate bonus, we have been making lots of use of those and the lounge is great also and is open until after park closing each night and we have loved having the characters at breakfast with us. We have kettle and a coffee maker in the room, had read that we need to ask for these, but they are already there. We have turn down service at night and they put little chocolate coins on the beds and there are robes and slippers in the bathrooms. Would like a fridge though, but I am finding the windowsill to be quite handy, as the windows are freezing, it keeps whatever is sitting on it quite cold. So we are very very happy with the Empire State Club.
Will do a full trip report in about 3 weeks when we get back to warm Australia.
It is absolutely FREEZING here at the moment, for Aussies who have come from 35 degree heat, we are really noticing it. So as it is raining today, we are having a day away from the parks so I thought I would pop up and use the computer to report in.
The only very sad part of our journey, which is really only my sadness is that I have a life threatening peanut allergy and they seem to use peanut oil everywhere. So I have been only able to eat these revolting allergy meals that they have that are worse than airline food, and believe me, I LOVE my food and watching everyone else eating this yummy food at Lucky Nugget, Annettes, Mickey's Magical Christmas dinner and I have this slop! But at least the rest of the family is enjoying their meals. Went to the Tea Party at Lucky Nugget the other day and I could not eat a thing! But again, seeing the characters and the rest of the family enjoying themselves was enough for me.
Bye

but hope the lack of 'good food' is not putting too much of a damper on the rest of your holiday. Look forward to hearing more about your trip when you get back.
) There was also chip and dale too and Father Christmas came out towards the end. 
Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I don't think my two will care very much for the disco as well as they're shy when it comes to things like this (but you never know! lol) but they'll be chuffed to bits just to see all the characters, esp Donald (for my DS) and Minnie & the princesses for my DD. Ooooooooooooooooooh!!!
Shame about your allergy means that you can't enjoy the lovely food on offer.
