We stopped at Disney our way down to the South of France for our main holiday, and again on the way back. We have APs and can overnight in the camper in the car park so we had a Friday afternoon on the way there, and then 2 full days on the way back.
Cast: Me (44), DH (51), DS (12 with autism) and DD (nearly 3). DLP vetrans.
Highs
- Frozen show. Kids loved it. DD got lots of attention on second visit as she was in her Elsa dress, and we got to sit in the blue seating at the back, and she sang into the microphone, and was chosen to be on the big screen. The CM who was in our area and spent a lot of time with DD, saw us queuing for the train when she was waiting to go in the back door for the next show and waved to us which really made DD smile.
- not too busy on any of the days. Think Friday would have been a lot busier but it the heat put a lot of people off queuing for rides.
- Easy Access Pass - again a godsend. Staff really lovely and helpful.
- CMs - we met lots of lovely CMs this trip. We went to Star Tours which we have been on before with DD, but they said she wasn't tall enough by 1cm (I think last time we didn't get checked as went in disabled exit). She sobbed her heart out (she was very tired!), CM gave her a privilege pass so she can go straight in next time which was a lovely gesture. DD got lots of attention for her Elsa dress.
- Pizza's in the Sports bar is our new find. Cost about 10 Euros and we shared 2 between the 4 of us. They are in take out boxes but you can eat them there - with a beer.
Lows - very few
- awful to say this but on 1st day of return trip it was TOO HOT!!!! I read a review of the tennis in Paris the same day that said it was 95 degrees which I would agree with. It was ridiculously hot, and there were only about 2 places open selling slush puppies, and they were struggling to get them cold enough. The second day, not quite so hot but still hot, we got some outside the Frozen show and we actually returned ours as there was no ice in them at all!
- I didn't think about Saturday the timetables changed, so we went to see the Frozen show again at the same time as the day before to find the next show was in French, so we had to wait nearly 90 minutes (which is why we went for Slush puppies). My fault - rookie error.
- Café Mickey - they now only offer 2 or 3 course set menu, you can't just get pizza any more, so it did feel very expensive. DD didn't have to have a meal but she would have been really upset if DS had a dessert and she didn't, and no way he'd leave without one. We've had some fab times in there, but not sure we'll go again if they don't change it. Kids starters were not really kid friendly - lots of kids don't want soup or mozzarella, although mains were good but 21 euros for a starter they wouldn't eat, a burger and ice cream is very expensive!
