When: Sunday 13th December-Friday 18th December
Where: SL and Hotel Cheyenne
Who: Me and my fiance Katy.
Prologue: A few years ago Katy was injured in the park and after a complaint we were offered a free two night stay and 12 one day hopper tickets (we could have pushed for more but already felt guilty as we love Disney so much!). We were happy with the way guest communications dealt with the issue and we sent off our form and got the 13th to the 15th of December in a SL Montana room, we then received a bundle of hoppers in the post. We decided to stay on for three nights and settled on the Cheyenne. When we stayed there in 2006 we loved it so thought we would have a change from the SL and book the Cheyenne through Expedia. After we (eventually!!) sorted out the problems with Expedia we were upgraded to include tickets and free meal vouchers for two nights and we were told to keep our reciepts for the last night.
Day one: We arrived at Leeds station looking forward to 5 hours of trains to Paris and then a few more thrown in for good measure to get us to Disney! The journey went pretty quickly thanks in part to a few new PSP games and “The Hangover” on itunes. When we arrived in Paris we managed to get ourselves in a bit of confusion as the self service machines did not give change and so we wandered around for a while but eventually we sorted it out and were on our way! We got on the 45 minute train to DLP and were getting pretty excited by this point, after a brief stop to pick up some cheap water (1.20euro for a large bottle) from the train station shop we headed to the SL.
After checking in we went up to the room quietly hoping for a lake view, well we didn't get a lake view but we got a corner room on the 6th floor which was massive! We had a nice big bottle of water, some chocolate coins and a letter from the manager (in French).
Here is a photo, sorry for the mess we unpacked and then took photos!
We then checked out the bathroom
and were very pleased to find this
It had various grooming items each boxed, such as a comb or a toothbrush.
Here is a smaller photo of the lid of the set
Here are a few more photos of the room
looking clean
not so clean!
We then headed into the parks for a few hours as it was shutting at 10pm.
Heading straight for buzz as it was shutting the day after we stopped off to enjoy the Christmas tree. Taken with iPhone so I do apologise for the quality
We arrived at Buzz
and Katy got a ticket for 9pm so we headed off to Star tours
we love this ride, as we are both huge Star Wars fans! We looked around the shop, and bought a R2D2 pin. A CM stopped us as we walked in to look at our pins and was jealous of our Star Wars pins and Katy's Boba fett tattoo! He said he didn't have any SW pins and laughed!
After having our one go on Buzz, in which my blaster was broken (well maybe! Katy will maintain she beat me fair and square!) and we loved it as usual. We were sad it would be our last go as it is a great "oh lets do Buzz" ride when we are stuck as to what do next. We then headed for Thunder Mountain and had our first of many rides! Definitely our joint fave ride, especially as Katy can't go on the other rollercoasters now. We then took a few photos of the twinkly castle
We had some food and went back to the room and we opened presents we had bought for each other which was nice, Katy was very happy with her Vivienne Westwood Necklace and Miss Dior cherie perfume so I was pleased I made the right choice!!
We took some Perrier Jouet with us and were going to drink it on the first night, but we put it off until the last night!
Day two
We woke up around half 8 and both felt terrible
I had a restless night and had a really high temperature, I felt a bad cough and after a quick call to a doc (i.e my sis) I was aware of my chest infection 
We went to breakfast and showed our VIP breakfast pass at which point we were shown to a table immediately! Lots of bemused and slightly angry looking people glared at us as we walked past the already large queue! After the (unnecessary) guilt subsided we ate a huge breakfast, and decided to take some paracetamol and nap. It worked as we woke up at half 12 feeling better. So we got ready and headed for the parks. Straight onto Thunder Mountain and then I had a go on Indiana Jones, as Katy does go on the Indy ride I queue whilst she sits and waits and as usual it was a walk on. We then went on the Molly Brown which was nice, it was empty pretty much and we could stand where we wanted. Didn't have my cam this day so used my iPhone occasionally.
We then went on Phantom Manor
After that we went to Fuente del oro and had some Chicken fajitas which were nice. The rest of the day we spent riding Peter Pan, POTC and Thunder Mountain again. We then headed back to the hotel, stopping for some Mcdonalds
We spent the evening watching tv and had an early night. Day three, four and five will follow soon!
