We are going on 10th july for 5 nights staying in the explorers hotel, travelling by eurostar. it was a gift frm so great freinds of mine that wanted to thank me for something I have done for them aren't we lucky people !

I'm a little worried about the expense involved with food and shopping but other half is working overime to make some extra to save and I am squirelling bits away as and when i can so we should be ok.

I am off to see what tips I can pick up from all of you experiences DLP visitors

Hi Jane and welcome to DISboards.

A trip to DLRP is fabulous news but a free trip is even better, what lovely friends you have.

Hi jane130 and welcome!

You don't mention if you have organised entrance passes or not. If you haven't then I think you should consider Annual Passes, as you are there for 5 nights, these would also give you discounts on food and in the shops, as well as other benefits.

You will find more information on these in the Useful Info sticky, along with a link to get 10% off by having someone sponsor you.

Hope you have a fantastic time!

Thanks for the warm welcome

Our freinds booked through disney and it includes park entrance , pity a discount on food would have been great - thats one thing we are worried about.

the kids know , I thought about keeping it a secret but i am that excited already i just couldn't keep it in .

M friends think I'm amazing and I did do something pretty damn amazing for them so I guess I do deserve it - but i've made it clear they need to stop thanking me now .
