It's finally time (although I only got back on Friday night but still LOL)... my trip report!! :cool1:

The CMs:

Me (21)- Obviously big Disney fan lol- especially love the Villains, Nightmare Before Christmas and Lilo & Stitch. Second time at DLP and kind of a very belated 21st celebration for me.

DM- Also Disney fan especially of Mickey. Loves collecting Disney Traditions. Also second time at DLP.

DG- Another Disney fan escpecially of Mickey and Minnie. Also second time at DLP. We had such a laugh last time and even more this time!! :laughing:

We are staying at the Newportbay Club hotel for 5 nights and 6 days on the Admirals floor. First time there.

Sunday 7th Sept- Day 1:

Heres a link with the photos: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/20552873

Today's the day!!! After counting down for what seems like forever- we would finally be on our way to the magical land itself! I had no sleep the night before (obviously) or much the night before that LOL but I was so excited.
I was all packed and ready to go. My dad drove us to the airport and our flight wasnt until 4.10pm with easyjet.

Waiting to board the plane...

Last time we were slightly late in taking off, both ways so I was expecting that again which it was but only by about 20-30 mins. The flight was great though and we all got seated together which I was pleased about and I got the window seat- i LOVED looking at the clouds! We had a good laugh too, great start already. Mam and grandma had a nice little drink and me being daring had a glass of....water :laughing:

The flight was over in no time and when we landed we picked up our cases and we'd already pre booked a taxi/shuttle with RS Transports and the guy was there waiting with our name and greeted us and took our bags and we were on our way! It took about 25-30 mins to get to the hotel and the driver was lovely and really polite and booked our return journey too.

As soon as we got out of the taxi, a bell boy standing outside of the NPBC hotel was there and greeted us and took our name... and boy was he sexy!!!! :lovestruc He took our luggage straight away up to our room while we checked in. We didnt even lift our cases lol. It was great! The hotel looked gorgeous and massive and we were really impressed right away with the reception area!

We were staying on the Admirals floor and got lost straight away trying to find out room :laughing: but the bell boy saw us and pointed our room out.
Our room was beautiful!! Lovely and clean and bright and we loved the theme and we were so excited to have a balcony with an amazing view looking out over the front! It was stunning.

After unpacking we had a little browse around at the pool even though it was closed as it was late and then the shop and we had a drink in the bar. We got grandma rather tipsy too which was so funny! She doesnt really drink normally and only had a barcardi and coke but it was strong :laughing: Then we sat outside for a little while.
