Well with only 2 days to go here is my pre trip......not much of one I admit but the excitment has really kicked in now 
I've entitled it Geordies In Wonderland after my ever growing obsession with Alice in Wonderland and the not so proudly fact of being geordies 
(I very shamefully didnt get my trip report from last September finished 
but will do for sure this year when I get back!).
So the clan:
Me (22): Long time Disney nutter and MJ fan. Have aquired many new obsessions since last year and will be on the look out for anything NBC, Alice in Wonderland, Villains and Stitch related! Also big pins collecter. 3rd time to DLP.
DM: Loves Disney traditions and is looking forward to Agrabah Cafe. Also 3rd time to DLP.
DG: Provides 99% of our entertainment/laughter Still hasnt got the hang of the euros. Likes Minnie and Mickey. Also 3rd time to DLP.
We'll be travelling (flying) from Newcastle on Sept 9th and will be returning on Sept 14th. Staying at Newport Bay on the Admirals floor like last year (we've requested the same room but will have to wait and see).
Wed Sept 9th:
Leaving Newcastle mid afternoonish and arrive at CDG around 5.30 i think. We've got a private transfer booked to DLP with RS Transports. We used them last year and on the way back the year before and they've always been great.
We'll probably spend the rest of the night just relaxing and unpacking. Probabaly have a drink or something in the hotel bar too.
Thurs Sept 10th:
I'm guessing after a night of no or very little sleep lol... it'll be an early morning before our first full and exciting day ahead! We are planning on a visit to Val d'Europe which we did last year too and buying a few snack things in the supermarket and probably some other things. I have a thing about having to get grapes in France!
Once back we'll head off to the park for the rest of the day and have a nice browse around the shops and a good look around the castle too.
No other plans yet for that day or later that night.
Fri Sept 11th:
I think we might make use of the EMH today, starting with the park then Studios. Gonna make it a day of character spotting and parades! As well as fitting in any rides possible in between- I must go on BTM this time!! Alone but im sure its worth it

Sat Sept 12th:
Probably just see how today goes as far as plans are concerned. Think we'll start at the Studios though. We are planning on going to Agrabah Cafe today as the park is open later and didnt get a chance to eat here last year but wanted to. It'll be our first time being at DLP over the weekend too.
Sun Sept 13th:
Another lovely full day, probably make use of the EMH again and fingers crossed for lots more character spotting! It'll be our last full day today- boooo! No real plans made yet.
Monday Sept 14th:
Our last day and time to go home (noooooo). So sad having to leave! We'll spend a bit of time in the park in the morning before leaving though which makes a nice ending. I think our flight back is later in the afternoon at the dreaded easyjet (no mans land) terminal!
So we dont really have much planned in advance this time and no meals booked. Im not really fussed on eating bigger meals while I'm there but Agrabah is a must this time. I really cant wait to see Alice's Labyrinth! I still have never seen it properly- the first time we were too cold LOL and last year it was closed for refurb. I'm also gonna go back on PanoraMagique this time, I really liked it last time. Great view!
We are all really looking forward to going now and having a nice break and hoping for better weather than here too! And thank you to everyone for great advice and tips as always which will come in very handy in making it an even more magical trip!
I'll try and remember to get any useful info that people might need who are going soon and any menu pics etc. Looking forward to doing my trip report which I promise to actually finish this year Thankfuly I have a full week from when I get back before starting my new course- plenty time to get it done and look through my no doubt masses of photos i'll be taking!!
Woooooo 2 days to go!!!!!!!!!!
