Trip Report Day 1
Right well cast members:
Mum & dad (their 2nd Dismas trip), myself, my husband (3rd Dismas trip), my brother and my 7 year old niece (1st timers!), all but my brother are Disney mad (he actually didn't come to the park on day 2 instead he went round Paris but hey you can't please everyone!) sooo here goes!!
Well more of a half day actually .. we flew with Air France from Birmingham to CDG, not much to say about that other than, flight was all bang on time, no problems at all, airline staff lovely, nice snacky things and complimentary drinks on flight and before we knew it we were there!
Me impatiently waiting at the airport
Got off plane at Terminal 2F at 19.40 as scheduled and I phoned the shuttle company for our transfer on the number I had been given to confirm we had landed. We were given a time of 20:10 for our luggage so walked along the carousels-found the one that said Birmingham and decided to nip to the loo on way back from loo my husband was walking towards us with a trolley and ALL OUR LUGGAGE!!!! Major bonus couldnt believe it was so quick. The Paris Shuttle company have a desk located at Exit 0.04 at Terminal 2F so walked to that and was about to phone them using the direct dial phone when I saw our driver!
Lovely man, spoke great English, immaculate vehicle with seating for 8, he let my niece sit upfront so she could look out for the upcoming Disney signs which she thought was great.
Just for the record I booked this company through:
http://www.parishuttle.com/
However there is also:
http://www.parisshuttleservice.com/
DO NOT use the second one (parisshuttleservice) , last year when I finally located the driver at CDG he was this grubby man, who barely spoke English and the vehicle was filthy (the website says luxury immaculate vehicles and English speaking drivers) not to mention that we had passed him several times because the company told him our name over the phone so he had scribbled it quickly on a piece of A4 paper now whilst my name is DUFFIELD this man was walking round CDG looking for a family by the name of DEFILE we still laugh about it now . Also the company despite me telling them in several emails that they took my card details down wrong turned round to me and said my card had been declined they wanted cash then and there .it was most embarrassing!!! So would recommend avoiding that company ..
Hence why this years was such a relief and very glad i changed to a different company! So anyway we got to The Seqouia Lodge in little over 30 minutes, check in a little slow (one person in front of me and i waited for 20 mins) but were given rooms opposite each other (very handy) and off we went to the village to Annettes Diner. Yummy burgers as always served in good time despite them being incredibly busy.
The park was absolutely freezing and here is Lake Disney frozen over....
After dinner there was some shopping, My niece was eyeing up the princess dresses...
It is tradiion my hubby and i hve a silly moment with pirate hats...
then off to bed ready for our first day in the park!
