Day One Monday 16th October
We met Lorraine and Neil and kiddiewinkles at the airport. Text comes through from Frank as they were on the overnight sleeper to London to get the Eurostar. His train is 3 hours late so they won't be meeting us at 2pm at the hotel.
We check in. Everyone leaves me at the bar with the kids and I overhear a conversation about how I have my hands full with 4 kids. Just as well the other 2 are on the eurostar me thinks.
Flight takes off and lands about 10 minutes late. We get through passport control and have to wait an hour on the VEA bus. Next time we'll get the train I think.
We arrive at the Hotel Cheyenne and drop Lorraine and family off. We arrange to meet in Cafe Hyperion. We head over to the Disneyland where we've been upgraded to.
Check in with a woman who has a right problem with our last name and keeps repeating how to pronounce it so she remembers for the future. She mentions Mickey and Mickey is stood next to dh. He cuddles dd and attempts to speak to ds who dissolves into floods of tears. Head up to our room. Lovely big room overlooking the bus drop off zone. So much for our lake view which we paid for in the NY. The room is very spacious and we decide to hit the park.
It's really hot in DLP, so we head out without jackets and up mainstreet taking in all the detail for the halloween decs. There's a great big pumpkin blocking my view of the castle.
Since the kids didn't eat on the plane and only had biscuits from my bag, we head to cafe Hyperion. Get a magic hamburger. Edible but not brilliant like I've had before there. Kids barely eat.
Friends are having problems at their hotel so we head on Buzz and Star Tours before joining them for Buzz (Absolutely fantastic, ds loved it) and some fantasyland rides, teacups, Pinocchio, Snow White and then Pirates of the Caribbean. Lorraine, Lil Eilidh and I are sat in the front row with the boys and big Eilidh in the boat behind. We loved it. Didn't realise we'd get a photo done too.
Decide to hit concierge at our hotel and book Billy Bobs in the village for dinner. We head right there and it takes 20 minutes to get a table. The meal is great. While we are there our other friends phone to say they are in Innoventions as they were so exhausted.
Just as we are finishing they arrive and we go to New York for a drink and catch up with each other. Have a New York New York cocktail. Pluto arrives much to the kids amazement and we get lots of pictures and autographs. We all head our separate ways about 10pm and we head to the room to unpack and sleep before the busy day ahead.
Only unpack PJ's and toiletries in the end. We all fall in to bed exhausted.
