LIVE from DLP!!!

[jodyb]

Hi Dis friends! WE ARE HERE!

Sequoia was like "coming home" - everyone friendly, decorations gorgeous, and spirit high.

I'll of course write more detail in a trip report, but I'll try to check in for a few minutes each day while I'm here - live.

The trip was long but smooth and uneventful. We were unpacked in the room by 3:30 and then walked to Annette's for a great meal. We entered the park at about 5 and had plenty of time to take care of getting our permanent AP's before the lighting ceremony started. (AP people friendly, everything smooth and lovely)

We watched from just in front of Casey's and had full view of the stage which is much higher this year. LOVED that the characters are in this ceremony this year! Everything was magical - just beautiful! Loved the new posts on MS - the white arch was beautiful but I always felt it "hid" mainstreet. This new concept is really lovely IMO, and of course the castle and tree - what can I say - I want to see this every night we are here.

More tomorrow!

I may be wrong and forgive me for butting in but I think Jody means exchanging a postal AP for the real thing when you get to the park.

 

[Cyrano]

Jody so nice that you are able to check in.
From past trips I think we know exactly what you had at Annette's
Really nice to get some instant reactions. Have a lovely time

 

[BONITATIME]

Glad you are having a great time.

Hi Jody, I've got a request from my daughter!! She's gone Narnia mad! Please don't go out of your way to find out, but if you happen to go to McDonalds could you let us know if they are giving Narnia toys with the Happy meals?? Thanks and enjoy your WEEK !!!!

Being a DLP virgin, what is an AP ( I bet I`ll regret asking )

Ciao, Ade ! An Annual Pass (annual entrance card) is a ticket which allows you to enter a park ALL YEAR LONG , as many times as you like !!!
There are various kind of it ; some AP don't get you entrance to the parks in busy times ...

At World Disney world (Florida) we paid for our AP not much more than we would have paid for 10 days entrance !!!
It's a good deal ... if you plan to visit more than once in the year !

Many other here will be able to give you better details


Ciao !!! Laura
