We are flying out at 9.10am from Dublin to CDG on the Dec 16th, which is DH's bday The week previous I graduate from College, so it is going to be a busy couple of weeks.
My eldest 2 LOVE all the roller coasters and TOT. DS 6 is petrified, as is my niece. But he loves POTC and all the shows. DS 2 ADORES Mickey Mouse. We have been showing him stuff on you tube and he squeals, laughs, dances and claps to them he is super cute and funny. The others were laughing at him and not watching the videos. I can't wait to see his face in cafe Mickey.
It is my Mams first trip, and I don't think she knows what she is letting herself in for. The kids are adament they are going to get her on TOT..
Our to do list of firsts;
Peter pan (we have never managed to do this ride, as it was closed our previous two trips )

Our little lady Lucie will meet santy for the very first time ever in DLP. How cool is that
I have ordered personalised Disney teddies for the kids that we are going to put on their beds when we check in. They wont see them till that night.
