Got up early and drove the short way to Ashford international. we were there before 8am so sat in the little coffee shop downstairs and had a lovely Bacon roll and a drink.
Checked in about 8.30am and waited for the train. When Phil went and got all our tickets from the disney crew he was lucky enough to get a kids pack from them so our daughter was going to be chuffed with that.
Our seats were lovely on the train and we were very comfortable apart from the family who sat near us and let their child run riot through the train. The mother was as bad as the child shouting and screaming at him for the whole of the journey!!
we arrived on time at DLRP and took our cases up to disney express.
we went straight to the studios to go on parachute jump as we knew it was only open that day for us.
queued foabout 15mins which was the longest we queued for the whole trip. it was fab and couldnt believe how high we went. we then went on slinky but gave Rc racer a miss as we both thought it was a bit like the pirate ship ride you get at Creeley park and we really feel sooo ill when we come off that.
We then went on Tower of terror which was fantastic as usual.
Lunch was eaten in the front lot and we had the usual burger and chips.
we then spent the rest on the afternoon in the disneyland park, loving Pirates and indiana jones and Buzz lightyearit was fun to be just us instead of the kids deciding everything for us !! I think we manage to do all the rides that afternoon as it was so quiet .
we stayed till park closing then walked to book in at the Santa fe.
It was soo quiet at the santa fe reception (because it was 6.30pm we were expecting it to be very busy).
Our room was lovely with the new flat screen tv and new bedding , the room was clean and bathroom had also been decorated. Our room was in block 45 on the top floor number 20.
After a quick unpack we headed out to the village it was a short walk about 10 mins,. we had alook round the shops and planned what we were going to buy to take back for the kids then we popped into Mcdonalds for something to eat as we were more tired than hungry but needed a little something in our tummy. we then walked back to the hotel to catch up on some much needed sleep !! xxxx
