Pre-Trip
Trip is not untill November :( a looong 10 weeks of anitcipation to go, but I am so into planning this trip that I thought I would start my pre-trip report a tad early. Disneyland Paris, 3 Nights, Hotel Cheyenne.

The cast of this trip consists of: ME - Ben, 17, Disney obsessive (especially the parks) and budding Imagineer. Since I can remember I have always been in love with Theme park design, especially the daddy of all theme park companies: Disney! My companion on this trip is: Kelly, 18, best friend and Disney lover, but Disney park virgin! This trip is my present to her for her birthday, 2 days before we arrive (I think I might order a birthday cake on the first night, which I'm sure will mortify her :lmao: ) and also serves as a purpose of proving how incredible Disney theme parks are so that she will hop on board my planned WDW trip in 2011! :D

We fly out from East Midlands airport to CDG with BMI Baby (I have come across some awful reviews for this airline recently in regards to cancelling flights which is concerning me slightly) Tuesday November 9th at 6:45am and returning Friday 12th at 7:25pm. All in all, Hotel and Park Tickets cost me £330 and Flights cost £90 each.

I have been driving Kelly mad with my trip planning for this I think, seeing as she has no idea what I am talking about when I say 'Extra Magic Hours' or mention attraction names LOL! So, here is my tentative schedule for the 4 days.

Day 1: Arrive at Hotel via VEA shuttle bus hopefully before 11am, check in and leave our bags and head straight to Disneyland Park. Spend the rest of the day there and that night dine at Anettes.
Day 2: Breakfast at 7:30am, Use EMH at Disneyland Park, hopefully getting some beautiful photos of a very quiet Main Street. Spend half of the day here, and head over to Walt Disney Studios at around midday spending the rest of the day here and dining at Cafe Mickey that evening after some serious shopping in the Village.
Day 3: Early breakfast once again, taking advantage of EMH untill around 12pm, when we will catch a train into Paris. Do all the tourist-ey stuff and head back to Disney for around 8pm and Dine somewhere of Kellys choice for that evening :)
Day 4: :( Our last day! Get up early again and take in as much of the parks as we can, redoing the best attractions again before checking out and being ready to catch the shuttle back to CDG airport by around 4pm.
 
Hi Ben :)

We're out at the same time, though I'm there a day earlier and because I'm on Eurostar, get to stay the whole of my last day thank goodness, I hate leaving the park:sad1:

I shall do my trip pretrip soon, trying to hold off as I've been getting waaaaaay to excited the last couple of days so need to chill out a bit. WHO am I kidding?? For the next couple of months I shall be climbing the walls!!

Haha, exactly. It's makes it seem even longer to go when you are reading these boards everyday and planning every detail of the trip :rotfl: I'm sure you're not as bad as me though... I'm even thinking about the details of my WDW trip in March - 7 months away! :lmao:
