My top 5 things about DLRP are:
1. The Magical Feeling you have from the moment you arrive- In my opinion, nothing beats that. On my first trip with my DF, I can remember stepping off the coach in pitch black darkness, really late at night having been up since 4am, and still being flooded with that amazing feeling. Despite being shattered, I just wanted to look out of our hotel window all night down to the beautifully lit up Disney Village and Disney Castle just peeping over the horizon.....
2. Restaurants/General Foodie Goodness! - Well, I'm a foodie!!
I love the restaurants in DLRP, they're one of my main reasons for return visits!! I have never experienced such an amazing range of food- From fabby 50's burgers and shakes in Annettes, to gorgeous, delicious and gastronomic delights at the California Grill. I love it allllllllll!! Despite eating at all these great restaurants, I still manage to come out with full carrier bags from the Boardwalk Candy Palace.....
3. Rides- I love the rides at DLRP. Granted, we don't go on them all, but we usually manage to cram in looooooooooooooooooooooads of the ones we do go on. I usually have to be dragged away from BTM as if it was left to me I'd probably just be running round the queue for that all day!
4. Theming- The effort Disney puts into its theming is absolutely phenomenal! For my DF, this is his number one thing. We love walking round and spotting all the little details. One little piece of theming DF never shuts up about is the birdsong that plays near the lifts in the Sequoia Lodge.... It's a great little touch! All the little things make trips completely magical!
5. Meeting Characters in Cafe Mickey- When I first went to DLRP at age 10, Mickey Mouse wasn't allowed to wander the park incase he got mugged!
So when I returned last April, I was desperate to see him! We ate in Cafe Mickey one lunchtime, and I was so proud to get my picture taken with the main Mouse! I texted my Mum just to brag that after an 11 year wait, I'd finally got to meet Mickey Mouse!
