Will do a proper trip report in due course but in true dis traditions, here's our highs and lows:
Highs
Dreams!
Meeting 4 princess' in the pavillion.
Great warm dry weather.
Non existent crowds and queues (apart from the princess pavillion of course!)
Pixie dust in room on arrival, 2 mickey soft toys, 2 autograph books with pens, a tinker bell watch and a silver disneyland pen. Oh and a VIP pass for breakfast.
Seeing my kids having an amazing time.
Princess interaction with my daughter. They were all super amazing but Snow White was just unreal. Spent ages with my princess, talking and kissing and cwtching each other. I have wonderful photos and video footage which will stay with us forever.
Venturing out to paris and doing a river cruise.
Shareholders discount! I didnt realise you could use it in Annette's, rainforest and planet Hollywood! I saved so much money this week it was amazing! Such a shame it ends this month and i can't afford to buy another 80 shares :-(
Lows
Smoking smoking and smoking. Utterly disgusting and not policed anywhere by anyone and when i tried and make a gesture for them to stop when near my kids trying to watch dreams i almost started world war three! Whilst it won't stop us going, its such a shame that its everywhere. Why isn't anything done about this?? Its such a shame and everyone who comes back from paris moans about it so do something about it!
The pavillion system.
I have no idea what can be done to improve this because its just so popular. I saw waiting times of 150 mins on one occasion and the park was empty! We queued at 9 am just to have a waiting time of 30 mins. Its worth every minute of the wait but what happens when its raining? You get drenched! It needs improving but how i have no idea.
Santa Fe breakfast. Wow. The chocolate flake cereal is lovely but the rest, not great. Ate here for 2 mornings then just gave up. Had breakfast in the park instead.
The pointless baggage check u have to go through to get into the parks and village area. So you put your bags thru the X-ray machine and they check for what?? Food and guns and bombs i guess. And yet you just walk past the machine and collect your bags totally unchecked??! So i carry a gun in my jacket and walk thru unchecked. Easy peezey. Its such a failed system isnt it? It just causes a pile up and pushing and shoving to get through. Its not a low but its just pointless.
Anyway, we had the greatest family holiday ever and so glad i took the gamble with the deal of the century! Full boring trip report to follow soon
