We are just back from our xmas trip and now feeling very festive here's our hi's and lows !
Hi's ....
Managed to get an upgrade to HNY Empire State Club Bfast in the Lounge every morning with the Characters (I felt like we'd won the lottery)
We met Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip n Dale and Max !! (Haven't met Max before).
Cafe Mickey, got an amazing table (not sure how - think just because we got there early at 6pm) we saw all the characters as soon as they came out. Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Mickey then Tigger!
Saw the Dragon under the castle for the first time (its usually closed off due to weather at xmas)!!
Lovely meals in Blue Lagoon, Cafe Mickey and Rainforest Cafe (Rainforest even accepted our shareholders card)! Amazing hot beef rolls in Earl of Sandwich
Room was far too hot at HNY (no windows to open), but the hotel moved us to a room with opening windows very quickly and efficiently. Great customer service at HNY.
Crushs Coaster was amazing and the 40min queue only took 30 mins!!
We got to use Salon mickey twice on this visit (we missed it completely last time) !!
The children are still just as amazed with the Crocodile outside Rainsforest Cafe !
No delays on the Eurostar
Lows: (nothing major to do with Disney)
Why is there such a long queue for Princess Pavillion and Santa Claus - Disney really need to sort this out
Hubby with a stinking cold.
My daughters snow boots leaked - had to buy emergency wellies/socks
My son dropped my new camera on its zoom - Broken forever
Two naughty little children this time (sigh) !
Weather was wet (but we were prepared)!
All in all a great trip, but we feel a little DLRP disneyed out now, will prob save for Florida in 2 or 3 years time, the children are 5 & 6 now, I'm thinking 7 & 8 is probably a good age for Florida ??????
