I don't take food pictures myself but when we were in DLP we noticed a woman taking a photo of her ice cream and we wondered if she was a DIS'er. She was using her mobile so it wasn't quite so obvious - I thought she was just on the phone.

 

[tinks_1989]

We been back a few days all the washing is done and all our photos are loaded so I am ready to start my TR

Our flight wasn't till 4 in the afternoon so we had a lazy morning and time to do a few jobs around the flat, we took Flopsy to Dave's dad popped to the bank and picked up some lunch for me Dave mum and dad.

Sammi and Becky were at 6th form in the morning they got back at about one just enough time for a quick change before the taxi got there at 1.30.

The taxi journey was very quick before we knew it we were wheeling our case's in the airport. Mum had checked us in on line and we had no check in luggage so straight to security which felt very strange.

After a few drinks in the bar and a look round duty free we were ready to board I hate all the push and shove of easy jet flights and the bus they cram you on to take you to the aeroplane.

The flight was very uneventful and quick. With no bags to pick up it was very quick the other side too. Our Taxi driver had just arrived as we approached the door good timing he didnt speak much English but he was very polite took our bags and off we went. We hit some traffic on the way but we were there in no time.

The hotel was very busy when we arrived and had to wait a while before we checked in. We were all upgraded to the Admirals floor and breakfast.

We didn't have any dining reservations for our first night we thought we would try annette's the que was out the door there were probably about 25-30 people queing outside. Steakhouse didn't have any thing till 10 (It was 8.30 at the time)

We went to New York hotel to try our luck there they said no and that they were fully booked all night mum asked them if they could check any where else for us they tapped on the computer and said we could eat here. We were a bit confused but relieved we were starving.

When we were shown our table the place was dead there were more enpty tables then full and only one other family arrived once we arrived
The food was all very good especially the desert the apple pie the pastry was perfect and chocolate moose! Sorry no pictures I was just so hungry I finished it all was very good.

Becky Sammi Me Dave and dad after our dinner

After dinner we decided it was a bit early to head back yet so we went to the bar for a drink each

All of us having a drink in the Manhattan bar

Becky and Sammi had a Mai Tai I think

Mum had a pina colada

Dad had a bit of a dell boy drink all he was missing was the umbrella

Dave had a tequlia sunrise

And I had a glow tini

I had fun with the glowing cube lol

So after an expensive round 68 euro's we decide to head back for a good night sleep ready for Sammi's 18th birthday in the morning.

 

[wickesy]

Great start Leanne. Looking forward to reading the rest.

I didn't sleep well all night I was constantly turning struggling to sleep with only one pillow (Why do hotels only give you one pillow?)

Sammi's alarm went off at 6 and I thought I'll get up in a second but I fell straight to sleep and it was the best sleep I had all night! Dave woke me up to ask what the time was? I was shocked to see it was 7.10 Sammi wanted to be at the park for 8

So after a quick shower dressed hair and every thing done mum and dad come in to give Sammi her presents because today was her 18th birthday

We had a VIP breakfast today (That is what the man at the hotel reception desk called it) and it was lovely Very relaxed nothing like the bun fights as my dad calls it in the buffet area

They had warm foods such as scrambled egg bacon sausages then there was a selection of croissants, yoghurt, bread roll, ham, cheese, cereals and toast all drinks were served and brought to you at your table there was only one other family in there at the time we were in there very relaxing

A few pictures from breakfast

Me enjoying a lovely morning coffee

It was 9 o'clock and Sammi was desperate to get to the park by now so me Sammi Becky and Dave went on to the park!

Well all I can say is unless you have small children EMH isn't really worth it! Buzz light year was opening and was the only ride we did in EMH, Tea cups dumbo, Peter Pan, the carousel was also open and Space mountain which nobody wanted to go on we looked through the shops as it started to spit with rain and then decided to have a look round the castle.

I rang mum to find she was queing to get to POTC (sorry I can't remember the names of the lands in DLRP if they are the same as WDW or not? Well they were the first people there queing and were hoping to be one of the first to get on POTC! Not such luck they opened then queing area from the other side they then had a young (english) lad open the ride the whole thing was done in French the little lad didnt looked too impressed he was handed a treasure chest and his family were the first on the ride.

I normaly prefer the POTC in DLRP I really didn't enjoy it too much Not sure why must of been missing that hunk Jonny Depp. The woman in front put her poncho on as well Not sure what she was expecting to happen

Sammi's favourite ride is the Haunted Mansion so off we trot to have a go! It didn't open till 11 so we wandered over to Big thunder mountain which also wasn't open but was able to get fast passes for so we got 2 fast passes each (we bought the special ones of ebay) were all starting to get a bit ticked off about none of the rides being open so we tried to waist 40 minutes in the shop and taking some pictures.

11 o'clock rolled around and the que for Haunted Mansion was huge already. We qued and it quickly disappeared and we were on it in no time. This ride stopped a lot and was quiet boring we didn't ride this again.

Luckily Big thunder Mountain was much better this version is so much better then WDW version we really had a good time on here but it was so cold going round.

We decided to go over and have something to eat at Casey's this was our first insight in to how much food we would be eating way too much when you are going to weight watchers lol! We had a hot dog HUGE it was chips chocolate cake and a drink I was so stuffed and so was the rest of us except Dave he can always eat more.

The character Express drove past as we were sat eating I liked seeing my favourite Wall-e on there shame there wasn't more Pixar characters though such as Woody and Buzz!

It had started to rain so we decided to stroll through the shops on main street now they were all open! There is nothing like a bit of Disney retail therapy!

 

[tinks_1989]

We went back to the room for a rest and a change of costumes for our meal at Cafe Mickey to celebrate Sammi's 18th

We got to the door and there were two que's one que with people that had reservations one for people that didn't well there was no one in the que with no reservations just with but no one in the que actually had a reservation but instead of telling people to que correctly they just left it so we had to wait for every one to be told over and over they were fully booked. Finally we got to the desk and checked in for 8.30 reservation and were seated straight away.

Tigger come over as soon as we sat down and he was really funny and kept us very entertained

Michael was our server and he was brilliant the best server we have ever had in Disneyland Paris. He took our orders and in no time our drinks were with us.

Pluto come over before our starters arrived

Me dad mum and Becky had the Mushrooms to start they were yummy had a lot of salt though, Sammi had the salad and I think Dave had the soup.

After our starters tigger come over again he was really good all night. Goofy also come over for some more pictures

Our mains were brought over and this is the only food picture I have of the whole trip

Me Sammi and Becky had the Lasagne was very good couldn't eat it all though as the characters kept coming round and distracting us lol! Dave and Dad had the steak and Dave said it was the second best steak he has ever had 1st being at Teppan Edo so that steak beat Le Cellier and Mum had fish and chips she said it was nice but very greasy.

During our meal the characters got on the tables and started dancing.

More characters come round Mr Smee, Captain Hook, Mickey and Minnie.

Michael had just pinched Minnie's bum.

It was then Sammi's turn to have her cake brought over this was really fun when they all come over and danced with us

and after i got to dance with mr smee

we had our picture with michael he kept saying we would get him in trouble on facebook lol

We also had a good dance with Michael but I can't find any pictures.

The desert was one of the yummiest I have ever had Me mum sammi becky and dave had the chocolate cake and dad had the crem brulee

So the restaurant was nearly empty now so we paid and left all laughing and talking about our best bits we went shopping for a while and then wandered back to the room.
