Bad start none of us had set our mobile phone alarms right mine and DD where still on uk time (how blonde) and DN,s just didn,t work .So it was about 8.15 when we got up so after a quick shower we had fruit and cereal bars for breakfast as we just couldn,t wait to get going
The map to the train didn,t prove much help or it could of been me
but we took a wrong turn and ended up asking a young french lady on her way to work the way she was very helpful and showed us a short cut ,it was just round the corner and was a very easy 10min walk and we found really easy to do the rest of the week.
We bought a carnnet of tickets (a book of 10 thanks DIS board ) for 16 euros and waited about 5mins for a train to take us the 2 stops (10min ride ) to Chessy
It was about 9.40 am when YES
we where walking down main street it looked so nice with all the 15th banners and I felt so happy and quite proud I,d managed to get us there on my own (Go girl) we stopped for the first of many photos and then as its our tradition to make BTM our first and last ride we waited for the rope drop at frontierland

We sprinted to BTM (always makes me laugh that you can hear the tanoy staying please walk to your first desination when everyone is runing like hell
)and by 10.10am we where on our first ride ''YE hA hold on to those hats and glasses''
when we got of we collected a FP for later and then POTC (5 mins) and the Indy coaster (the girls did indy not me
) and then back to use our FP on BTM
We then crossed over to discoveryland and got FP for Buzz and rode Star tours and SM I went on Sm but none of were impressed it really knocked your head about everyone was coming of holding their head
I couldn,t remember it been that bad in the past?
We then used our FP for Buzz me losing to girls by miles (whats new)
Time for food so we went over to victorias for a mickey pizza, doughnuts and a drink (23 euro)
and after eating we had a nice ride on the carousel
We then had a small hicup as my DN found that she had lost her lanyard (think she had took it of to put in her bag on SM)but by some luck she had put her park ticket in her pocket (phew) so she had only lost the FP I had bought on ebay which was a shame but not the end of the world.
We did go to city hall and ask a couple of times to see if it was found but no luck
While we were near city hall we then watched the mary poppins show ,she was so pretty and it was a really nice little show
We then rode the tea cups (my first time as usually im filming the others) and then snow white (I,d take the TOT anyday over that witch ) and pinochio .
We got ourselfs a really good spot at the sword and the stone place (right in front) to watch the sleeping beauty show I like this show it had the wonderful backdrop of the castle and agian she was so beautiful
Then somehow from there we rode BTM again and it was then had a text from Dianetigger saying she was in the park and they where going to watch the dream parade from belle notre and would we like to join them
I explained what we were wearing so she could reconize us and we watched the parade together ,its so nice to meet other disers you dont have to explain yourself or your excitment they just understand
the parade was fab and snow white and jasmine danced near us this is a great spot to watch it from as its not as crowed as main st.

We then had a burger meal in Vidiopolis ,there is a salad bar now in there so you can add loads of salad to your million calorie burgerwhich makes you feel better [IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/graceoneil/DISNEYLANDPARIS2008LYNETTES038.jpg
We then found a spot for fantillusion ,just near the plaza stage so we would be in a good spot for calabration and the fireworks .Fantillusion was excellent as ever although tinkerbelle seemed to be missing at the front ? and the ursula float spotted in front of us.
Then mickey and minnie lit the candles on the castle (minnie is so nice in her blue dress) and the Enchanted fireworks started,loved the music,loved the fireworks amazing.So after a extra busy first day we made our way to the RER now I was worried about getting back to the hotel but i had no need the trains where always waiting for you ,in fact it was far easier than the push and shove of the shuttle buses and at the other end I felt quite safe walking back to the hotel from the station ,Then 3 very tired princesses went to bed ready for the studios the next day.
