Hi Guys :)
I haven't posted on here a lot, but I have been browsing these boards for a while, and I am a keen poster on another Disney forum site.

As I have really enjoyed the DLP reports on here, I thought I'd share mine :)

popcorn:: Grab ya popcorn and take a seat....

As our countdown gets smaller, I thought that I'd share a little pre-trippy with you all [lucky you]
I don't think there are enough DLP trip reports, so I thought I'd share mine with you, for our little 2 night trip to the mouse

The Cast
Me- 24 (just) This little holiday is for my Birthday celebrations that my lovely and gorgeous boyfriend has paid for. I've been to WDW 5 times, but this is only my 2nd time to DLP. Disney is literally just a dream to me, and I love it so very much

Sam- 22 Has been to WDW once, and DLP twice. Even though he loves a bit of the mouse, I think he goes a long with my love for the magical world

Me & Him:love:

The Holiday
As mentioned we are having our little trip for my 24th Birthday celebrations Thanks to the fabulous 40% off Sale, and my amazing boyfriend! We would have liked to go earlier- this week probably, but from next week the prices dropped so much, we couldn't really afford to worry about a week.
We visited DLP together (for me the 1st time) in February 2010, it was lots of fun, but extremely rushed as we were there just for the day in between our Paris trip. This time, we're cutting out Paris- neither of us really liked the City, and have pretty much 3 days to experience Disney

This trip was pushed aside for our Florida holiday (now booked for Sept!!! EKK!) but I kept thinking about how I'd love to go back, and I thought this would be the perfect time
I know January is going to be cold, so I have stacked up on lots of (new-oops) warm clothes, some of course Disney related

The Plan
Sunday 8th January:
Mega Bus to London (Swindon-London £10.50)
Check in at Travelodge Kings Cross Royal (£19.50)
Dinner at Hard Rock Cafe

Monday 9th January:
Breakfast on the way thanks to Macdonalds
Eurostar @ 6.50am- check in at 6am (London>Lille>DLP- £138)
Arrive at DLP @ 11.49am

Staying at Disney Santa Fe hotel (2nights/3days £228.60)
Straight to hotel to drop off cases & book breakfast (7am hopefully)
Onto Disney Land part for a good portion for the afternoon

Reservation at Cafe Mickeys @ 6pm
Drinks at Disney Village or Hotel New York Bar

Tuesday 10th January:
No EMH today, so will get to Breakfast for 8am (ish)
Full day at Walt Disney Studios Park
Look to eat at Annettes Diner with drinks after at Cafe Fantasia at DLH

Wednesday 11th January:
Breakfast at 7am for the early EMH at Disneyland Park
Check out but leave bags
Spend the majority of the day there, but generally doing both parks with things we missed/want to do again

Late afternoon we will eat at Planet Hollywood or Rain Forest Cafe (yet to be decided)
Back to the hotel to collect our suitcase

Eurostar departs at 6.52pm- check in for 6pm
Back to London and Sams Dad will be kindly picking us up from the station

HA HA I know what you mean I get so excited about people comment on my PRE TR!

Have you started packing? xxx
 

Yes a little! I think we're do the majority of it tomorrow & Sunday. I have about 75% of the suitcase at the moment though- oops! Sam doesn't need a lot- he's a boy! x
 
How very exciting...and you sound very planned!!!!

Can I just make one little suggestion?

On your last day, did you know that you can use Disney Express Luggage service from your hotel, so that you drop your bags off at your hotel Concierge desk before 11am and pick them up at the Disney Express desk in the train station at least 40 minutes before departure. There is a charge for this (about 12 Euros??? - sure s'one will correct me!) but it is not per person. This will give you extra time in the park or village!

Have a great trip!:thumbsup2
 
Ha yes boys only need jeans and a few tops x

hoping it will be amazing! closer to the parks and a little more luxury! a sneaky cheap trip has turned out to be more expensive, but i was either going to upgrade this time or when we go at christmas. it's £200 for this trip and £750 for the next, so might as well! :rotfl:

you'll still have an awesome time in santa fe, we love it there!
 
Sounds like you've got a great trip planned :thumbsup2

Love the wee daisy ang donald :)

Look forward to the tr when you get back. Have fun:goodvibes
