Hi & sorry for taking so long to tell you how we got on.
Well got up at 2am sunday & woke the twins at 3. told them we were going to centre parcs (5 times in 2 years) so it was somewhere they knew about.
they were great on the flight & the taxi was waiting for us so by 11.30am we were there!!!!
woke them as they had fallen asleep in the taxi. Told them we were at Disney land & they both said i wanted to go to centre parcs!!!! guess you can't win.
booked in & left suitcases & went straight to park.
queued the longest time ever for Dumbo ride 1h30mins!!!! for a 2m ride.
went on a few rides & then watched the parade. which was amazing & twins couldn't believe there eyes.
first night CAFE MICKEY expensive 235 euros for 7 of us but worth every single penny. must have seen 10 different characters, all who spent time with us. only problem No minnie.
Breakfast next day no problem walked straight in & no queuing characters were in the hall ways & swapped round every 20mins.
spent all day in the park, hardly any queuing which was great. twins had photo's taken with minnie & mickey so they were very happy.
went to rain forest cafe for tea but never again. waited over an hour for a table, food wasn't any thing special & service was slow.
while waiting for our table we went on the hot air balloon which as i hate heights was very good & only 12euros each worth a trip.
3rd day we went to Disney studio's what a waste of time this was. hardly anything open, i know new rides to come but after all the fun in the last 2 days this was a let down. the Parade was good but by 1.30 we were back in the disney park.
had the character tea party at 5pm. again full of charaters & everyone came to our table & spent time with the twins. food ok as long as you love cake.
last day was spent around the park, we weren't picked up till 6.30 so a full day.
for us overall it was amazing, seeing our little ones faces when they saw all the characters & for them to spend time with them was just what we wanted.
Disneyland Hotel was amazing, only down side was not enough places to sit & have a drink at night.
breakfast was a good choice.
didn't get to go swimming as left our little ones with grandparents while we went shopping so can't say what that was like.
weather what can we say other than amazing, warm sunny & dry, t-shirt weather so couldn't have been better we even have tans!!!!
down sides, expensive, more than we had thought for food which has put so of going back., 48 euros for 4 sandwiches,5 bags of crisps & 3 bottle of coke????
SMOKING sorry being use to hardly every seeing people smoke now it seemed to be so noticeable over there. even in the queues they would smoke, which i hate over my kids. I would have thought somewhere like this which is full of children should be non-smoking.
so a must trip, a once in a life time for the reactions of the twins.
just a shame it's so expensive. we spent the same on food in 4 days as our friends did in 14 days in Florida.
Also they were working very hard all night getting things ready for 1st April, every day we could see different things being done.
wish we could go back this year to see it all
