We had an amazing time, and there were quite some differences than what we were used to, but we loved it all the same.

Highs-

Low crowds- is this normal for this time of year? There were barely any people for the first 1.5 hours on Thursday or Friday at all.

Weather, it only rained on Thursday really, but we knew it would rain and tried to be prepared.

Customer service- they were amazing at trying to make up for something that they couldn't control.

Dreams was fantastic, so much more than I expected, now if only I could see a Halloween or Holiday one I would be in Heaven.

Hotel- we have been in a "value" hotel before and were not impressed when visiting family members, we loved our hotel. It was a very nice walk to the other hotels and the parts, but we only waited for the shuttle ( when we took it) once.


Lows-

Pin trading- not sure if it was just a couple CM's that turned me off from it, or if the rules are just that different. I met a very rude CM, which thankfully was quickly fixed by one other great CM.

Bathrooms- we travel all parts of Europe and have seen some :scared: things, but especially the bathrooms in Fantasyland were horrible. Out of tp, used dirty diapers sitting by the sink and on the changing table. I told a CM one day and she waved me off saying something in French. I responded to her ( in French) and she just stared at me then walked back over to stand on the wall. Again as I was walking out I saw a male CM and to,d him about it. He apologized and said he would take care of it, then went to his radio.

Crazy children- IASW and the parachute drop ride were stopped while we were on it because of kids becoming unruly. In both times the parent did nothing to stop them, and in one case slightly encouraged the child to half jump out of the boat. My daughter asked me why the Mickey voice was not stopping them like at WDW.


Overall we loved it and are already planning on going back. I cannot wait to start my TR.
 
Welcome home! We were there same time and one of my highs was the low crowds! :) we had such a lovely time too and loved the warm weather. There were lots of school trips there and a lot of over excited children ......snow white and Pinocchio ride were stopped while we rode due to children trying to reach out to the figures!!! Glad to hear you had a good trip... Agree with you Dreams was amazing!!!!
 
So glad you had such a good time!! Can't believe we met and didn't even realise you were a diser!! We have very similar highs from our trip!!! :D
 
Welcome back. Sounds like you had a great trip with only a few lows. I look forward to your TR:thumbsup2
 

Low crowds sounds good, and glad you liked Dreams (it's so good)! :)

!! about the other children trying to get out of the rides though, not encountered that before...!
