About 2 months ago we booked the Davy Crockett Ranch (2 bed premium) and tickets with Disney direct and used our Tesco vouchers to pay for Eurotunnel crossing. I have been on here ever since researching and it paid off! Thanks to my military precision we did loads and had great time 
So, we are me (34), husband (40), Matt (11), Sam (9) and Victoria (5).
We left Suffolk early Monday morning and arrived at eurotunnel earlier than expected. It was so easy at the terminal, as we arrived the machine recognised our car from the numberplate and gave us option of an earlier train. Once selected we just drove through to line up for boarding, it couldn't have gone smoother.
Once in France the sat nav in our car took us straight to DCR doorstep and we found it surprisingly easy to drive on the french roads. Even though it was a long journey we felt eager to get to the parks once checked in and settled in our cabin.
The cabin was very comfortable and looked very new, we were in Cherokee on the right hand side as you drove round which meant the cabin doors/windows faced towards the trees so was more private than the other side of road.
We jumped back in car and drove straight to the park, must have only taken 5-10 min max. Before we knew it we were walking down Main St and could see the show on the stage in front of the castle so stopped to watch.
After the show we wandered around and found the pirate ship and the treehouse. We had a meal booked at Inventions for 7pm so got on the train near Woody's round up and this took us back to the top of main st.
It was only 6pm so we decided to have a wander around the disneyland hotel. I loved the lobby, the smell, the chandelier, the staircase and windows and general feeling about the whole place was just lovely. We had a look in the hotel shop (Victoria loved the dresses in there) and asked if we could eat earlier than our booking which they said was fine. We were seated in the room to the right of the buffet room with a huge window, but we sat just by the doorway on the right. We had a brilliant meal and met loads of characters (at least 7) and got all the autographs (apart from eyeore who has no hands to sign)
After the meal we decided to get back to our cabin for a fairly early night as we were tired from the journey and wanted to get up for EMH!!
Once back we set a wake up call and asked Sam to answer it in the morning as we had found out it was a certain mouse who makes the call!!
Next fun packed day to follow shortly once I have put some washing on
