Squeezing in another trip with my AP!

[loladelorean]

Howdy DISers! I feel like I should introduce myself, it's been so long since I was here...you know it is, life and work have taken over.

But I'm in need of a Disney fix and have just booked a trip to the magic at the end of May! Eurostar is booked, my cousin and I will spend 2 nights in Paris, then 2 nights in the Dream Castle at DLP (also booked). My AP runs our on 6th June, so I'm delighted to be squeezing in a fourth trip with it, just in time.

Just wanted to share my excitement with you all

I've also neglected to do a trip report from my last trip in November - just uploading photos to photobucket now and I'll share the best ones in the TR thread.

Off to get my new ticker, and catch up with the chat on here

Congratulations on the new booking

Delighted for you.....glad to hear you are doing a trip report .....and with photos yay! Looking forward to that

 

[HappyPanda]

Yay! Glad you've managed to squeeze in one more visit on your AP!

Oh Lisa I am so excited for your trip - you're gonna have an amazing time! I am equally excited to see these photos - you've been holding out on me for four months!!!

Good to see you on here

We're there at the end of May for a whole week - haven't stayed over since August 2011 so I'm well over due (though my birthday day trip was fab back in September!) I'm so excited!!!

 

[loladelorean]

Thanks everyone - just posted some photos from November on the TR thread if you want a look!
I promise to be better organised with this next trip and do a full and proper report - totally failed to live up to my own usual standards last time.

Adam what dates are you there again?? Must be just before me?

Lisa - a whole week will be amazing, I'm jealous! This will be the third time I've done the 2 nights Paris/2 nights Disney combo trip, think I've just about got it nailed now.

You'll only be let off this the once... do it again however....

I am there for our birthday week - 15th till 18th May... if there's anything you need whilst I'm there let me know. DBF doesn't know this yet, but as part of his birthday present I've booked the Disneyland Park Tour (he'll find out when we get there)... but I'll be sure to let you know how that goes too!

Great news!

Congrats!

Yay - perfect timing with the AP too!

 

[loladelorean]

The trip is growing... another cousin, and a friend, are now coming along too. So there will be four of us!
I am a bit sad we aren't staying in a Disney hotel, as I don't feel the experience is quite the same staying offsite. But the Cheyenne is FOUR times the price of the Dream Castle so there's no contest really. I am hoping that the Dream Castle is nicer inside than the Explorers, and with better shuttle service than the Radisson...if it is, I shall be happy enough!

Yes and yes

Hi Lisa, congratulations on your trip

I've been MIA too for a while - no trip booked for this year

Look forward to hearing all about it when you get back, that'll cheer me up

Tip re Dream Castle - if 4 of you sharing a room, make sure you get a double/double room - otherwise you'll never fit in the bunk beds! They were too wee for even Abbey, and she's only about 5ft 2!

 

[Lisa_C]

Lisa if it helps, we're off site to for the week - we managed to be able to get the small people for the week, so the number increased to six.....meaning the grandparents are on board too as we need two cars! We now have eight of us
First real time off site, but I found out we have four pools so that is a bonus! Onsite I NEVER use the pool, so this will be another first.
What dates are you there? We're the very last week in May (half term) so we might cross paths (I seem to remember our past trips being close too!!). I'm just so excited that I've already got another trip sorted in July for just Johnny and I

 

[loladelorean]

Yes and yes

Phew! Great news! It's such a good price, and does look lovely. I am quite excited to stay there even though it's not quite in the bubble.

Hey there! Sad that you don't have any trips planned, maybe next year?! Won't be long til I'm back, with a proper trip report this time.

Thanks for the tip! At 5"10' I think I'd cut a comedic figure trying to squeeze into the bunks. We are still swithering between changing the booking to a family room or just booking another double. The prices are great.

Sounds like a great trip for you too! I love that they just grow of their own accord once people here you're going.
Oo yes the pools, I've never once used a pool at DLP despite staying in several hotels that have them! Maybe this time.
We're there at the very very end of may/beginning of June, so will miss you but your trip report will get me all excited just before I go
