ABSOLUTLEY FABULOUS!!!!

from the moment my 4yr son saw the castle from the eurostar "mummy we are really here......i can see the castle!!.........and look at that huge slide!" (space mountain to us adults!!) we had a ball!!!

highs.
weather......glorious sun and very very warm!!
sons face when he realised we were really at disney.
sons face wen meeting characters.
cafe mickey!! met mickey,minnie,pluto,tigger,eeyore,goofy,stitch,friar tuck?,sum guy with glasses..looked like doc from 7 dwarfs??,
rainforest cafe.....son loved the theming.....mum and dad liked the steak!
we thought the parks looked great. heard sum people mention how tatty sum of it is looking now, but being 1st timers we thought it looked great.very magical.
playhouse disney show.....magical. an absolute must for young kids.
animagique......again, great for younger kids.ours loved it.
dad loved thunder mountain and indiana jones rides..
dad getting stuck on toysoldier parachute ride and getting an extra ride on it coz my seatbelt wouldnt release....
the disney express service.........a must do.great.

the not so good.
powercut in hotel thursday.....couldnt get into our room for 3 hours.
rude people pushing in and berating the cm's, especially wen loading
the rides...
slightly disapointed with toy story land......the shop there was very poor. we thought we would find sum nice new toys too buy there but were left disapointed. the theming was great but the rides,apart from slinky, werent cattered for younger kids. RC was pretty much an adult only ride.......i never saw any kids on it! im not suprised afert goin on it myself......its a bit fast and scarey!! :-)

and the dam right awful.
PEOPLE SMOKING EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they should know better!! but no-one stops them so what do u expect..
and i must personally thank the lovely wally who lit up a *** right next to my wife who was feeding my 12 week old daughter whilst we were in the pirates playground!! what a t****r!!


santa fe.
we never expected much so we knew we werent gonna get much. its a bit dull from the outside and the corridors were dark and smelly leading to our room but our room was nice and warm and cosy,but a little dark.only had 3 lamps to light the room, but little un was landed when he found out he had bunk beds! i didnt even know they had rooms with bunk beds,it didnt mention them in brouchure wen i booked it.
breakfast was fun! chaos.....y do people run around and cause havoc?........the food isnt goin anywhere!!!! theres plenty for all of us!!!!!

we are now addicted to dlrp and cant wait to go again.
would you like me to do a trip report??? i have 3008 photos to show you! thats first timers for u!!

au revouir!
 
yes - do a trip report lol

glad u had a good time, makes it all worthwhile when the kids enjoy it!!

as usual there is always the few that push/shove/moan/smoke, but hope it didnt take too much away....

so - lookin for next trip?!?!?! lol
 
yes please do a trip report!! I am taking DD (5) for our first trip in a few months and staying at the Santa Fe, so all info and pics will be great :banana:

Yes welcome to the club :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

3008 photos :rotfl2:

That's on a par with the 250 photos my mum once took of the same dolphin!!! :rotfl:
 
:scared1: how many pics?!!! :rotfl2:

Glad you enjoyed

and yeah the smoking is the biggest bug bear of mine @ Disney.... that and the pushing / queue jumping!

doesn't put me off though,you just need to perfect the dirty look and sharpen your elbows ;)
 
I cant say I agree, i think most people can be rude/agressive regardless of nationality. I nearly had all out war with a 'lady' who took my spot for the parade (waited over an hour at that specific spot) and whos son kept kicking me :crazy2: :furious:

I know when jemmas been whiney all day and everythings going belly up that my fuse is short but i hate hate hate que jumping and pushing. theres no excuse for it.

Sounds like you had a great trip! haha thats some amount of photos!!!

as for the smoking, im a smoker and i was disgusted at how off hand people seem to be about smoking in the park. i always went out of the way to have my ciggie but i agree that it did seem to be that some people were less bothered about where they smoked/who they offended. perhaps a cultural thing!

can wait to read your TR!!
 
Yay I love reading that first timers have had a great time, and it sounds as though you and your family had a magical Disney experience.
Goes without saying that we are all dying to see photos and read a full trip report!
 
thanks for the replies and positive vibes for doin my trip report.
im in the process of transferring the photos onto my pc as we speak, but its taking quite a while for sum reason! :-)

instead of boring people with the report shall i just upload a few of our favourite pics for you to look at? all the photos will be self explanetery wont they!
 
yey a trip report i cant wait to hear all about it. sounds like you had a wonderful time
 
the rudeness got to me too, we waited patientl to meet a character dd got to front and a couple pushed her out the wa and shoved their daughter infront then the character had to leave dd was almost in tears. Also in main hotel during character dance chip wen to hold dd hand and another girl twice her age pushed her out the wa this time dd did cr as no other characters had free hands, the girls dad apologised but if he was reall sorr he would of told his daughter off and made her give up chips hand to dd.
 
Glad you came back an addict - easily done!

I think we must have been very lucky to avoid the rude people, or maybe they were scared of Lucas!

As for trippie or photos - both!
 
We didn't see any rude people. In fact met lots of lovely people from all nationalities.:thumbsup2
 
duely noted elaine :thumbsup2

meant no offence, hope none taken, will edit post
 
Welcome back :wave2:

Looking forward to your trippie with lots of photos :thumbsup2 and words :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 no way will we get bored!! :goodvibes
