Have I forgotten anything?!!

[Rachie B]

Hi all

we go to DLRP next Saturday

its come around very suddenly !! and i am not as organised as past trips!

so need help finalising my plans! its just a very short trip,arrive midday on the sat and leave sun evening

Tickets : APs from last trip
Travel : eurostar ( )
Hotel : Explorers
Hotel for fri night: Travelodge

I have all the thermals,hats,gloves,coats etc sorted

what have i forgotten ?!!

food : we havent planned / booked any meals,as to be honest we are just going to play it by ear, and see how much we get done etc / how hungry we are
do you think this is a bad idea?

we will just eat a small lunch probably,caseys etc,with lots of hot choc!!!

can someone remind me of the times of the parades etc, pleeease

and anything else i might ( probably have ) forgotten

the kids are soooooooooo excited,this is just going to be a trip to see / do all the xmas things and some of our fave rides

we will be going back next summer so dont mind if we dont get much done this trip,but i WILL do crush !! havent been able to get near on past 2 trips!!!

Can't think of anything you have forgotten, or if you have we have too. Haven't booked any meals yet but plan on eating light lunches and early dinner's considering the park is open until 10pm.

Give us a wave if you happen to see us there!!

*hopes you get to go on Crush too*

I was there for 6 days this June and didn't manage, the ques were horrendously long or else it was closed due to technical difficulties

Just got back from dlp. Was my 3rd time this year + STILL aint done crushes. On monday the parks were dead. But crushes was still over an hour. So both mornings we got to studios for opening + crushes was broken. That ride is always broken!..x

 

[hollymattbenmilo]

oh noo! gosh..we must have been really lucky then? how odd... in week everytime we walked past.. on the thursday it was never over 20 min wait.. when i next went in studios on sat it was 90 min odd... but tot was 120 mins!

 

[Rachie B]

i bet its not even worth the wait ?

its always been at least 75 mins when we have been

haha... it was brillaint! esp as we went backwards. its def good... but i was a bit dissapointed... i thought would be abit more "finding nemo" oriantated..was hoping for a huge shark etc.. there were bits though.. it was great.. but not my fav ride.. thrill wise... i think matthew and i laughed more at rockand roller coaster.. and i have been on tot ages ago in florida.. but crush's was still good... but no.. wouldnt wait more then 30 mins for it i dont think! but i feel like that about all the rides!! hehe... i like my walk ons!!

We did not get to ride crush last week. We rode TOT first, then went over and saw the 90 minute wait for crush. I must admit we were more chilled out and did not rush round the park like we do in the sumer time.It was more about being cocooned in the christmassey atmosphere for us.
Don't forget to take any previous park passes or annual passes because fast passes can be obtained with both of these!!!!!!!!!!!
Because of the poor exchange rate we were more careful with spending and a lunch box was very useful for breakfast rolls. Also we filled up the lunch box from the tea party and the brownies lasted us four days worth of snacks. The tiny (triangular) brownies in the parks sold at 2.50 euros.
Tights under my jeans, for the ladies, I felt helped.
Britts guide gave 20% off at planet Hollywood.
We only manged to locate the hot mulled wine/soup on the last day, if you want a nice hot drink these can be purchased at the rear of the Disneyland park at Belles christmas bazaare.

I think everythings been covered Rachel, just wanted to say have fun

 

[britchic4]

Have a great time, keep my seat warm, LOL!

I think you do not forget anything

We were in September. Every ride queue times were below 15 mins but Crush's which was 45 mins!!!

We're going from June 20th to 27th. What should we expect? Will the queues be over 60 mins or more? I'm so concerned that we won't have the time for every shows and parades and rides Am i paranoid?

 

[gemmybear83]

Sounds like you have everything sorted

I've just got back and the queues for crush werent too bad (and it never broke down when we were there), we only waited 30 mins each time. I will say that that the cast members make people queue outside of the attraction and exaggerate the queue time to stop more people queueing - so when the queue says 45 mins it probably isnt!

I totally agree with this! When a ride was a 20 mins wiat.. it was about 10. When we did crush's it said 20 min wait.. but we waited no longer then ten! peter pan said 5... was walk on... etc

yeah spose you are right! said to hubby the max i will queue for it this time is 45 mins

if i dont get to go on then so be it! ( but really hoping i do get to go )

thanks all ,really looking forward to it now,am hoping it will make me feel all xmassy as at the moment i am so not! not even got my tree up or anything yet

aristol,june should be ok you are there for 7 days too ,lucky thing! you should most definitely see / do everything in that time
