Hey everyone, this is my first trip report, so i hope u can all bare with me!:goodvibes

Wednesday 29th July- Friday 31st July 09
So this trip included just two people.
Me- 22 loves everything to do with Disney, the parks, company, movies ect!
DM- 45 Likes Disney, but is not crazy with it like me!.hehe

This trip was a little treat, as i had recently been left some money, so decided to treat DM with it!. Our first stay in the Disneyland hotel.
I have now stayed in all the onsite hotels at DLRP!:goodvibes.

Day 1!- We recently moved from Cornwall back to Buckinghamshire. So it made getting the Eurostar alot easier. We always use Eurostar and the Disney express service, which i found brilliant!:thumbsup2. We only live 40 Minutes away from London. So drove to London, and left about 6.50am Wednesday, was quite a bit of traffic, but mananged to get to St Pancras about 8.10. We checked straight in, with no problems, except the security check going off when i went through, for no reason atall!. Anyway, we had to wait quite a while for the Train, but there was plenty to entertain us, such as the Disney Band, which ive never seen before.

The only part i don't like about getting on the Eurostar is the big scrum to get on it, when they announce it is boarding!.
I love going on Eurostar, and the journey was fab, with the Castmembers bringing around the hotel check in info, which is so easy!. So we arrived at train station at Disney, and quickily left our luggage at the Disney express, before heading into the parks!. And saw this lovely sight!

So we decided to go on a few rides, before heading back to the hotel at 4pm to check into!, which i couldn't wait!. Ive waited for so long to stay in that hotel!. Anyways we walked through the barrier to find the Mary Poppins show going on!

Next stop, it's a small world!. Even though you have taken pictures of this ride 100 times!, it's still gotta be done!.lol

So we then headed into the hotel to check in!. The smell as u enter the lobby is gorgeous!. I had made a room request, which i'm not sure if i got or not!. I asked for something by the entrance/turnstyles. And as given a ground floor room, with a balcony on the fantasia gardens side, i could see some people walking past, and could hear the train!:goodvibes
Our lovely room.

Our reservation fo 'Walts' was at 7pm!, which was great, we were placed in the Adventureland room, which was lovely and we had a table by the window.
Ive tried for ages to get a reseravtion here, and it was brilliant!

I will post part 2 of day one soon! :wizard:
 
Fabulous start to your trip report, we were there at the same time - wasn't it hot?
We ate at Walts and requested (and got) a window seat and it was fabulous to watch the parade from here. I had the burger (minus the fois grais though) and it was delicious!
Looking forward to day 2.
 
WOW Disneyland Hotel looks amazing!!! I shall make sure we have a look around when we visit Inventions in September.

Looking forward to the rest of the trip report... :goodvibes
 

Haha, you're just like me - Disney-crazed, taking a not so enthusiastic mum along!! :rotfl:
Great trip report, we're staying at DLH soon so it's made me excited to look at that!
 
great first day. i cant wait for more. the dlh looks so lovely.
 
looks lovely, I'm looking forward to the rest of your report, since we went at +/- the same time (Aug 3-7), I'm curious to find out what your experiences were! Hotel looks "a little" different for sure, we stayed at Santa Fe :laughing: (which was fine, I must add)
 
Hey everyone, sorry for being a bit slow at writing this, ive had a few internet problems!

Now on with the next part!:wizard:

Part 2 day 1!

So after dinner we decided to do a few rides!. So we headed over into adventureland for Pirates of the Caribbean. I love the films and the ride, but i don't really do rides with any sort of drop!.lol, But still went on it!
