OMG! We had such a fab time! you are gonna have to bear with me on this one because I am struggling to work out how to add photos so this might take a while 
Yep as I thought my photos didnt attach so I have made my 3 facebook albums open (I will close them again after a week, so if you have not seen them by then just friend request me) Be warned I take lots of photos lol!

So my sister (Sarah) and her boyfriend (Luke) arrived at our house on Sunday eve, they were meant to arrive at about 7pm but typically of my sister they were running late (mainly because Sarah forgot her passport so they had to turn round half way through the hour journey to our house!) so they turned up at 8.30pm! we then spent the next hour on here looking at photos and getting even more excited! and then decided we deffo wanted to eat at Cafe Mickey's so I rang through to reserve it. so by the time we all got to bed at 10pm we were way to excited to sleep, which meant when we got up at 4.30am we were all very very grumpy (but still excited!)
We left for Ebbsfleet at 5.10am (10 mins behind schedule) and got a MD breakfast on way, by this point Craig (my husband) was stressed because we were running late! We were all a bit nervous about the Train journeys because none of us had been on eurostar/TGV before so did not no what to expect. But Check in was really easy and as Chester (my 2 year old son) was the only child boarding they gave him a disney pack, which I/he was really chuffed with!
When we got on the train there were 2 other people (business men) in our carrage. They took one look at Chester and moved to the next carrage
This didnt bother us at all because we could then let Chester run around the carrage which kept him occupied for the whole journey! When we got to Lille again I was a bit nervous but that was really easy to we had to wait about 40 mins then got called down to the platform, we were all excited to see we were going on a double decker train as we had never seen one before!! When we got on the train it was packed and it was harder to keep Chester occupied for the hour journey, but for a 2 year old he was very well behaved so I was pleased.
When we finally arrived at the Disneyland Station (I am not even going to attempt to spell it) we walked straight out and crossed the road to the bus stop, where as if by magic a bus to Hotel Cheyenne pulled up straight away! It was 11.15 when we got to our Hotel, we went straight to check in (Chester had just fallen asleep which was typical because Goofey (sp?) walked past us all and high fived us all! Making us even more excited!! Because we were on 2 seperate bookings they had put us in different buildings but without us even having to ask she said that she would get this changed for us! When she came back she said we were in Annie Oakley (rooms 1651/1652) we were really pleased about this as it was close to everything. We then asked about breakfast in the park but she said because the Hotel was not fully booked they were not doing it 
which we were a little disappointed about but it wasnt the end of the world! We got our breakfast passes for 7.30 and then I asked where we could leave our luggage, she said we could go to our rooms straight away because they were ready 
so we quickly dumped our bags to our rooms and headed straight for the parks (after purchasing an autograph book!).
We got to the gates just before 12, where we decided to split so Sarah and Luke headed into Disney Park and me, Craig and Chester went into Disney Studios. We were amazed at how quiet it was as soon as we walked in (it turned out to be this quiet the whole trip, we did not que for anything!) we turned right and saw Sulley at the meet and greet stop, Chester could not believe his little eyes! I was welling up just looking at his face!
We then headed to Cars ride, slinky dog (Chester insisted we did this 4 times), rc racer, magic carpets (another ride we did about 4 times!). We then thought we would head over to the playhouse disney show and see what time the English version was on, and luckily for us it was just about to start so they quickly ushered us in! We all sat cross legged on the floor, Chester was as good as gold even joining in with some of the dancing! I loved this show and loved that the bubbles, leafs and streamers came down because it just made it extra magical for Chester!
When we came out it had rained a little but I was pleased (and grateful) to see that a cast member had pulled the rain cover over our buggy for us! As it was drizzling a little bit we decided not to stay and wait for the stars and cars parade (looking back we probably should of done) but instead head over to disney park (it was about 2.15pm).
As we were walking down main street Chester got his first glimpse of the Castle and was shouting at the top of his voice look mummy look its a castle
. As my Husband loves the space ranger spin in WDW we decided to head to discoveryland to go on laser blast. To our amazement again there were no ques we walked straight on! Chester Loved this ride and was shouting go away Zurg go away! Bless him!
We then popped into Cafe Hyperion (videopolis?) for a quick snack, we were not impressed and would not go back there, I had to take the food back as it was cold (we only ordered a kids meal because we knew we were having a nice dinner) it kept Chester entertained as they had some Disney Shorts showing on the screen.
After 15mins we headed back out into the park, went on BL lazer blast again (and again!) then craig and chester went on Orbitron, all I could hear was Chester shouting Higher daddy!! We walked around the castle into Fantasyland and for the one and only time I ignored the advice on here and took Chester onto Snow white. I will NEVER ignore advice from here again, lesson well and truly learnt! Chester really didnt like it and spent the whole time saying I dont like it
I felt soooo bad. we then went on the carousel and started making out way to main st for the parade. On way we stopped off in the Castle and explored, it was amazing, I loved the detailing. We then met Sarah and Luke half way down main st as planned and waited a long 10mins for the parade to start! Sarah told us they had been on BTM, Phantom Manor, Indiana jones (which they thought was a total waste of time), peter pan, pinocchio, and space mountain.
The parade music came on and we all got excited! Chester was in his buggy by this point and was started to get a bit tired but he still loved watching the parade and waved at everyone! Once the parade had been down once we decided to sneakily cross the road and head back into Discovery Land so that I could go on space mountain. We split up so craig and chester went on Buzz lightyear and me, sarah and luke went on SM I was a bit nervous but was really pleased I went on it! It is deffo better than the one in WDW. We then met back up and headed out of the park (it was just before 6pm).
Our reservation for Cafe Mickeys was at 6.30pm and as we were all very exhausted by this point we took a very slow walk over to disney village. We got there just before 6.30 and had to que for about 5 mins. We were seated upstairs, we had just ordered our food (I will go into more detail with this on the Cafe Mickey thread but just to say that they DID let me order a kids meal!) when we spotted Mickey! Now Chester , who has now got a sudden burst of extra energy just could not believe his eyes! He spent the next 10 mins shouting and waving Mickey, MIckey MICKEY! We saw Mickey, Tigger, Minnie, Goofy, Eeyore, Stich, Pluto, Mr Smee and Captain Hook whilst we were in there and Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Eeyore all came round twice. What was really sweet was that when Eeyore came round Chester tried to feed him and when he came round the second time Eeyore tried to feed Chester! I loved that restaurant mainly because of the characters but also because we were not rushed. It started to get very busy at 7pm and every table was filled but our waiter just took his time, he made sure we was ok, didnt rush with the bill. So we got to see all of the Characters, unfortunatly though by the time Smee and Hook came round (nearly 8.30pm) Chester was falling asleep in his highchair! So Craig took him down to his buggy while we settled the bill and waited for smee and hook! When we got downstairs 10mins later Chester was fast asleep, he had done so well bless him, it was a long old day for him and he had walked most of it! We then spent the next hour (much to craig and Lukes disgust) walking round the shops!
We got back to the hotel just before 10pm and we all just went to our rooms had a bath and crashed out, although much to my annoyance I could not sleep, to much excitement I think!)
Sorry if this has been super long I just dont want to miss anything out!, Will post day two hopefully this evening!
