Day 1, Part 1

After a very tearful farewell the night before and wondering if I could leave DS for 4 days, we left mums at 3.30 am to go pick up Dsis and head to Ebsfleet which was easy to find altho the satnav does not recognise ebsfleet station yet . We arrived at 6.45 eventho check in does not open until 8.30am but that's dm for you always panicking we will be late so we grabbed a hot chocolate each and settled down to be very surprised at how quiet it was there we kept saying it's got to get busy (we are used to going from St Pancras) Dsis decided she was bored and got dd colouring books out (note the concentration on her face )

Another family did arrive about 8am which dd became friends with their little girl which passed the time on for her. We checked in so easy no rushing or pushing that you find at St Pancras. there is toys and colouring for the kids at the lounge. There was probably only another 20 ish families there. I really loved this station although we then heard over the speakers that you get 7 minutes from boarding call to get to your numbered carriage that is painted on the floor of the platforms then when the train arrives you have 2 minutes when the doors open befoe they shut again but like we are we had a military operation going so it was fine we were on...

and after all that exhausting colouring Dsis fell asleep.

We arrived into DLP on time (hurrah finally here )
We had planned to drop our luggage and head straight to Annettes diner and have lunch we were wondering if we could resist the force of the park and go straight and eat???? we were very good and we did just that.
i had the Double Rockabilly burger (and shared with dd as she was not hungry she had been picking all day) and a Annettes caramel milkshake oooooo these are soooo scrummy sorry no pic of milkshake i could not stop to take one but here is my burger

Mum had the onion burger and a peanut butter milkshake and Dsis had a normal plain burger...yup nothing in it.... boring!!! here is the onion burger

After eating this we headed off to the hotel Cheyenne to check in which as we were walking through we noticed that they were painting the outside of the rooms

We went straight to the reception (no queue ) when we checked in the receptionist told me that they knew it was my birthday treat they had upgraded us to the Wyatt Earp block which was right next to reception which we thought was a Bonus...... Or so we thought at the time!!!!
When we entered the room we had been left chocolate coins, bottled water and a kettle. we dropped our luggage in and got freshened up and headed out to the park.

Part 2 to follow.........

(sorry if this is too much, please let me know if i'm getting boring )

Day 1, Part 2

After leaving the hotel we walked back to studio's as this park closed at 7pm we decided to go here first. As we walked through the gates (or should I say bounced through the gates ) we bumped into a familiar face....MInnie (a lovely welcome to the park)

One of the first things we noticed was how busy it was I thought perhaps it was because it was the afternoon..... We should be so lucky this week was crazy busy.

We headed to TOT to check out FP and surprise, surpirise none left we did not even bother looking at Crush . We headed to Tram Tours and had about 15 minute wait some of the carriages were not working the door would not lift so if it was not for this we would have been on quicker. Got off here and headed to TSPL and was told that RC racer was closed so dd and I went to Slinky dd said "This is too slow for me" she is such a thrill seaker. When we got off dm and Dsis had gone we worked out that RC racer was now working so while we waited for them dd and I took a couple of photo ops

Dm and Dsis were gone about 15 minutes and were back so they were lucky to get on so quick. we headed to RnRc for Dm and Dsis but the wait was 60 minutes (even for this ride, were used to 20 mins max for this ride) so we dicided to put our heads in a piece of cheese

It was getting near to studio's closing so we dicided to head over to the DLP before all the crowds and after all the ooooing and aaaaaahing at how lovely the castle was looking and the fact we were walking down Mainstreet we headed to POTC as we can always rely on this ride for a quick loading which it was only 10 mins wait we then headed through Fantasy land and a CM from Peter Pan stopped us and said if we want to ride today we would not have to wait in the 45 mins queue we just go to the FP queue and walk straight on as DD was dressed as Tinkerbell, so we made the most of this and had a few rides of this, this evening (sorry to all those that had to wait ) If your taking a child wearing a Peter Pan character outfit make the most of this. although when we went on when dd was dressed as Tiana dd asked "am i allowed on i'm Tiana today?" aww bless her she thought she was only allowed on when she is Tinkerbell

We then headed to IASW then noticed the storyboat ride and casey jnr was open (it's not been on our last few trips) these were pretty much walk on's. by now it was 8.45, 15 minutes before park closure so we thought we would make our exit not before purchasing dd her Rapunzel dress for the meet tomorrow.

Ahhhhh bed time, I can get some sleep but Dsis bed had other ideas every time she moved even just slightly it squeeked so I woke up every half an hour aaaaargh
