Well Chester woke us up at 6am! :scared1: I hadn't slept very much at all so was not impressed! But he climbed in our bed and started 'chatting' to us about the day before (this may seem like a silly thing to remember but he is only 28months old and has only started stringing sentences together in the last month so to us it was super cute!). He was telling us that he had been on slinky Daawg (that his how he pronounced it!) but he was asleep now so we needed to go and wake him up! He said that he had seen Tink but could not find 'Peanut Pan'! So we decided that Peter Pan would be our first ride of the day.
We met with Sarah and Luke for breakfast at 7.20, walking to breakfast was cute because Chester had been asleep all the times we were at the hotel the day before so he was telling us that we were having a sleeps over at Woodys house! He pointed to every building telling us it was woodys house or Jessies house!
As predicted Breakfast was a bit of a scrum! But we managed to get a table and all get what we wanted, there seemed to be a lot of school groups in there so we were expecting the parks to be busy that day. I sneakily made up some ham rolls and packed them in our bag with some croissants and pan au chocolats. and filled our flasks with Hot chocolate! :scared1: I know that was a bit naughty of me but it saved loads of time in the park as we ate lunch/snacks whilst walking around the park!

We left breakfast just after 8am, walked out of the main entrance to be greeted by Chip and Dale! Chester was super excited by this and so was I because out of all of the characters these were the ones I wanted to bump into as I knew Chester would be sooooo pleased! They were really good with him and gave him loads of attention! We then went back to our room to finish packing our stuff and to have a mini chill out before a busy day in the parks! Chester decided not to rest but instead he took daddy into the hallway and played giddy ups with bullseye (he had brought on way back from breakfast!) I felt so sorry for people having lye ins! Ooopps!
We decided to put our luggage in the hotels luggage room rather than pay to store it at the station so we did that and then caught a packed bus to the parks (we really was panicking that the parks would be busy!).

Got to the parks at about 9.40 swapped our vouchers for tickets and waited for the gates to be opened! Sarah and Luke decided to start off in Disney Studios so we arranged to meet them around mid day in the Studios as they wanted to go on some rides with Chester! We headed straight for Peter Pan and rode it twice with no ques! Chester loved it as expected! we then headed over to Dumbo where again (and on all rides for rest of day) we just walked on! Chester said he wanted to go on the greeenm one so we did and when it finished he didnt want to get off, I said we had to but by this point he had strapped himself back in :rotfl: so me and craig took it in turns 4 more times to go on with him! We then went on the tea cups, well me and chester because craig does not like them! Me and Chester then went into the Alice maze which he loved! I loved all of the figures and details. Then we headed back on to Peter pan because Chester demanded that he needed to see Peanut pan!! After that we went on Pirates of the Caribbean, which again Chester loved! well we all did, I still can not decide which one I like best, the DLP one or the WDW one. We went in the Aladdin walk through which none of us were impressed with! We decided that now was the time to meet up with Sarah and Luke as it was 12.00 and we knew they were watching the stunt show and would be out soon.

So we started to head back to Disney Studios but something told me we should do a little detour to Woodys roundup, I am sooooo glad we did! we walked around the corner into Woody roundup and there was Woody, Jessie and goofy with only a handful of children around them! Chester screamed with excitement! After spending lots of time with Woody and Jessie we decided to get on the train round to Main street, which was a really nice rest! Just as we pulled up to main street the character train was just about to go up main street so we caught a glimpse of that, then on our way out of the park we met Belle! But Chester was not really fussed about her because he didnt know who she was!

We got into Disney studios where we grabbed another hot chocolate and waited for Sarah and Luke. We then done a meet and greet with Buzz Lightyear, Chester was again sooooo chuffed! Met with Sarah and Luke headed straight over to Slinky Dog at the request of Chester so that we could wake him up?!! Sarah and Luke had two rides with Chester on slinky dog, I had one with him and Craig had an further 2! We then went back round to cars race rally where Chester went on twice, once with Craig and once with Sarah!

We then all decided to head back into Disney Park for the last part of the afternoon. Me and Craig went off to go on Phantom manor whilst Sarah and Luke took Chester to the show in front of the castle. We then met up in Fantasy Land where they had already gone on Pinocchio which chester apparently loved?! and they were just on the carousel (as me and craig had taken a slow walk back taking in all the little details!). As Chester was getting a bit sleepy by now we decided to slow it down a bit for him. So me, Sarah and Luke had another look in the castle and then went on Pirates of the Caribbean whilst Craig took Chester back on Buzz Lightyear! When we all met up outside Buzz Lightyear Chester had got another burst of energy and wanted to go on it again! So Sarah and Luke took him on it, and then he wanted to go again! So Sarah and Luke went onto Space Mountain while me and Craig took him back on it (3 more times!).

Unfortunately now was the time we had to start thinking about heading back for our cases so we took a slow walk down main street buying last minute treats and souvenirs on the way! I can not believe that I only tried Mickey Brioche on the way out of the park on the last day! It was the yummiest cake I had ever tasted!

Then Luke, Craig and Chester headed to mcdonalds and me and Sarah took a bus back to the hotel to pick our case's up (it was 5.15 by now) got our cases said goodbye to the hotel and headed back to meet the boys in the train station :sad1: When we got there Craig (who is a know panicer :rotfl:) announced that the trains to Lille were delayed by at least an hour because of an accident! So I went to information and it turned out our train was only delayed by 10mins so it was no trouble! Me and Craig got ourselves a baguette each while everyone else was eating there mcdonalds! It was finally time to get on our train :sad1: we were all soooooo tired and Chester fell asleep on craigs lap within 5 mins of being on the train! we arrived at Lille and only had to wait 15mins before we could check in for Eurostar, Chester was still asleep! When we boarded the Eurostar there were 3 other passengers in our carrage so we folded down the buggy and laid Chester on our laps. It was the funniest train journey ever because we spent the whole hour reliving the Disney Memories of the last two days! Laughing at the silliest things (because we were soooo tired!) so we arrived home just before 10pm and that was it our Dream trip was over :sad2::sad2:

But (and not that we needed much persuasion :rotfl:) after the way Chester has been acting over the last couple of days we have decided that we are deffo gonna go back! and we will have a longer trip :yay::yay: Chester had a full on tantrum yesterday in Bluewater Disney store (spending the rest of his christmas money!) because he said he did not want to go home he wanted to go to to Disney Land :sad1: and he has been telling us today that Woody's house is shut but we need to get the key to open it! He was more than a little upset when Craig explained to him that We can not go back to Disney Land at the moment!!

Well sadly that is it, I hope you have enjoyed reading it! Sorry if it was a little long!

Thanks for sharing!!! I'm glad that Chester had a magical time :wizard: that's what it's all about isn't it?!!

Glad to hear that you're going to be going back!! :yay: My DD talks about Disney ALL the time! She was nearly 3 on the first trip and she still remembers it! :goodvibes
 
What a lovely TR....Had a wee laugh at Chester saying Peanut Pan :lmao:

The first time we went my youngest DS used to call Winnie The Pooh ...Dally La Pooh and the first time he saw Pooh He ran up to him shouting Dally Dally Dally.

DLP makes such amazing memorys for our children and us thats why we all keep going back :thumbsup2

Chester really amazes us with the things he comes out with at the moment! I have saved his 'peanut pan' saying to my phone, it makes me laugh everytime I get a text! :rotfl:

Yep you are deffo right we are giving our kids fantastic memories. I think because my favorite and most vivid childhood memories are of WDW I know the best thing to do for Chester is give him a chance to have memories like that :love:
 
Peanut Pan! Aww bless him, that is so cute! :goodvibes

I really enjoyed reading about your trip, hope it's not too long before you can go back.
