Great photos! I'm with you about missing Pepsi Max while I'm in DLP - Coca-Cola just does not cut the mustard.

We went across that wobbly bridge to the broken boat - DD said it had never been open before and now I know why!

Had a quick peep - we were in the Sequoia too and I so miss it!! I'd give anything to go back right this minute!! We met Peter after the brunch, he was fabulous as always for telling the pushing in children to "go back to your families where you belong". Brilliant!

Welcome back, and I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to DLP. We were at the Pixar In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall too! Wasn't it fantastic - I don't think there was a dry eye in the house after the Up sequance.

I like the Sequoia in winter too, the fire in the Redwood bar is a lovely place to relax with a cocktail or too after a day in the parks.

As a childless couple who visit DLP reguarly, (well unless you can count carrying a Duff and ShellieMay bears around) I've never felt out of place in a park full of familys with kids running around.

I do try and ignore the badly behaved children and rude guests we see as we are in our own 'little Disney bubble' as we head from ride to ride via a cocktail or two...

Some times I do see somthing that can make you stop you in your tracks, but not being a parent I'm not able to say what I see is right or wrong. I have friends with children with special needs and and one of their daughters can have some quite spectacular melt downs that makes her look like the worst spolit brat of a child you have seen... and after seeing it you might think she has the worst parents in the world too, but in reality the truth is very different.......

Any way shame about your experiance at the Blue Lagoon, it's one of our favourite resturants and have never had a bad experiance there.

Love your photos from the Sunday Brunch, that was one of the highlights of our trip last March and has brought back some great memories.

Ah but there is a difference - we took an autistic child with us (the kind that eats his food off the floor, has spectacular melt downs over wearing clothes, can't be taken to breakfast because he literally can not stop touching the breakfast items etc) and people did seem to understand that he didn't have control his emotions or his behaviour in his new surroundings.I mean this child bit his plastic bracket off and threw it at a CM in City Hall, and ATE his access pass! When a child is just having a brat meltdown, you know it alright!

It's just a shame that Disney can bring out the hidden side of a child, but there are always 10 for every 1, that make up for it
