Santa

[Gwendolen]

Anyone ever visit Santa in DLP?

 

[Mum to Belle]

Yes, we went last November.

Any good?

the queue is always far too long and far too slow for us, expecially mid dec when its freezing cold with small children !

I'm going 11th nov maybe queue from EM hours or ??? Any thoughs

 

[Mum to Belle]

We queued straight after the rope drop and it was about 20-30 minutes?

Would have been quicker if we hadn't stopped to deliver her letter to Santa first which required filling in an envelope with our details by which time several more people were in the queue!

Santa was flirting with Grandma, and he spoke English so DD was able to tell him what she wanted for Christmas.

The grotto queue area is lovely with snowmen & toys etc.

If you can I'd be going on the Monday 12th or another day that week as the 11th is the last day of the French school holidays, a Sunday so always busy and a public holiday

I went early November last year and on the weekdays it was quiet. The queue was about 2 minutes.

It was pretty good to be fair. First you write a letter and send it off to Santa and then you walk through lots of photo scenes. You finally get to meet Santa and a member of staff will take a picture for you (with your own camera!).

Carrie cat - we are arriving on armistice day! It will be nuts I would say.
So far I have booked Walts for the 11th, so at least we are going to be fed, maybe watch dreams and have a few drinks in some hotel bars, just take Sunday handy as a early start from dublin to Paris , then Monday do the parks , tues the parks and maybe Paris by night tour ? That's all so far

Thanks happy tappy think I'll leave Santa till mon or tues or wed!
