heading to DLP (first time!) on Sunday - can't wait!

[syrme]

Only 5 days till we fly out to DLP!

I am really excited about the trip. A big thank you to all the posters on this site, the information I have found here since i started browsing 6 weeks ago has been great.

Myself DW, DS (6) and DD (18m) are departing on Sunday for a 4 night stay in the Disneyland hotel. Return transfers with BD transports booked!

It is our first time in DLP indeed 1991 (17 years!!) was the last time we visited a DL park (orlando) when we were students working in the states..

A little bit apprehensive about the trip as my DD is a handful, refuses to ride in the buggy and loves to run around causing mayhem DS doesnt know we are going to DLP - a big suprise! -

I have a rough plan of what we will visit, we will make full use of the early start hours, fast passes etc and I booked the not so scary haloween party (28th i think)

My biggest worry is food! although im sure all the restaurants have had their fair share of young fussy eaters over the years and are used to coping!

My DD still drinks a bottle of milk first thing in the morning and at bedtime - Real milk not cartons - Is there anywhere i can purchase milk in the village or parks? what about heating bottles in the hotel? I would appreciate any info on the subject....

Is there any other information i need to know?

Thanks,

U

Hiya

We needed milk too and had no problem at breakfast as it's supplied for cereals etc. We also took those follow-on bottles you can buy here plus the gift shop at Cheyenne sold milk in cartons (one type was real milk) so I'd imagine you'll be okay.

As for eating we found the buffet this year was great, they could pick what they liked. We did take fruit with us though - bananas, apples and raisins because it was quite sparse in the parks and my girls and I aren't big veggie eaters. I can def recommend Lucky Nugget Saloon, I've written about it yesterday in my trip report. I hear Inventions is fab too but it was out of our budget.

Hope you have a fab time!

Milk can be bought very easily at the Petrol Station behind the Santa Fe hotel or from the shop at the train station just before the Disney parks. They sell 1st, 2nd and follow on milk at both locations so you will be fine.

If your DD loves to run around and cause mayhem then Alice's Curious Labrynth is a must do. Kacee loved being able to run around the maze and we did it two or three times over the 6 days we were there.

As you said make best use of EMH and then let the kiddies dictate the pace of the rest of the day.

Have a great time!
