Me - 41 – 5th trip
DD1- 9 – 5th trip
DD2 – 8 – 5th trip

When 12th - 15th Oct including MNSSHP.

We last went to Disney in November last year and had a rather wet and cold time and at the time I said I didn’t know if we would go back. Have been looking on and off at prices and nearly booked under the flash sale but the flight prices went up and the flash sale didn’t cover any of the MNSSHP dates - the girls said if we were going they would like to go to this.

I looked at prices again under the new 30%/40% offer and ended up going round in circles trying to get the best price - was on the Irish site as well but eventually got the price I was happy to pay on the UK site and the flights were coming in at around £50 each so 3 nights back in Sequoia Lodge was booked (we stayed in HNY the last time but I wasnt overly keen on it).

This is a girls only trip as DH is not interested in going back - once was enough for him - and DS who is 6 was adamant that he didnt want to go - am having a real case of the guilts over not taking him though.

The girls haven't been told they are going they just seem to assume that we are! DD2 has her birthday next week and DD1’s birthday is in Nov – so an October trip is a good compromise for both of them.

Day 1 - we don’t land at CDG until around 5.30pm so it is unlikely that we will get to the park on the first day :sad2:. I am planning on getting the TGV and still need to book our tickets but payday isn't until next week so will do it then. We will probably head to the village and Annettes for something to eat once we have checked in - unless by some miracle we arrive in time to dash into the park even if only for 10 minutes!

Day 2 up for EMH – trip to Salon Mickey after EMH and no real plan for the day - but our first ride will be Buzz! Dinner tonight will probably be Café Mickey but am toying with the idea of splashing out and going to Inventions. Cocktail in the bar before bed!

Day 3 – EMH with a trip to the Studios - back to the hotel for the girls to hopefully have a rest before getting changed for MNSSHP. I can’t decide if we should have a proper meal or just grab bits as we go – we may have a very late lunch somewhere and then just snack later on. I will see how the girls manage but we will aim to stay for the whole of the party.

Day 4 – if we are still standing after MNSSHP we will try for EMH if not we will check out and go and soak up the atmosphere before heading back to get the 14.50 TGV - if all goes to plan we should be back home about 7pm.

I have a few things on our must do list - go see the characters in DLH at 4pm, do the parachute drop and maybe RC Racer - the girls are getting a bit more adventurous so I hope they are keen to go on things they havent done before. The other thing I really want to be good is the weather but I know I have no control over that - I will be keeping my fingers crossed that it will be dry and mild!

I have a small to do list to sort out over the next 3 weeks and then it is Disney here we come!
 
Yay another girly trip. I did one in July, i took dd with me, dh and ds stayed home and i felt terrible. I tried so hard not to but everytime I saw something I knew ds would like i felt terrible. But i took back lots of pressies for them. Enjoy yourself. I go 2 days after you get back and I'm not going with dd, ds or dh it was a birthday present from my mum to go with her, so i'm sure i will feel completely terrible.
try to enjoy yourself, i'm sure you will it sounds fab :)
 
Sounds like you will have a great trip:goodvibes
 

Sounds great. :thumbsup2 Try not to feel guilty about DS not going - after all it was his choice and I'm sure he will have a great 'boys' time with DH.
 
Just over a week to our trip and I have finally ticked some things of my to do list - I sorted travel insurance yesterday - always drives me mad as I have 2 pre-existing conditions - neither of which cause me any trouble but must be declared and DD1 has epilepsy but I managed to get it sorted without too much hassle. I also booked the tickets for our journey back to CDG yesterday afternoon and they arrived in the post today - hows that for service.

Still haven't decided where we are eating but Cafe Mickey is on the must do list according to the girls (when asked where they would like to eat IF they went back to Disney - they still actually dont know they are going!) another request seems to be for the Parkside Diner will decide and probably ring and book Cafe Mickey and then just see where the notion takes us when we are there.

I will send an chancer email tomorrow to sort our hotel room and then I still need to book airport parking and start trying to gather clothes together - am keeping a close eye on the weather forecast as well.

Will be very excited this time next week - just hoping the sore throat and ears that I have now have gone by next week.
