AP holders, 3 nights 4 days at the DC.

Stopped at Arras on the way down to see the Christmas market. Okay, but nothing special. Very similar to the Christmas stalls at Disney (only cheaper), plus an ice skating rink.

Our 'cabin' at the DC was very clean and warm. The CM's were very friendly and helpful. Had the pool to ourselves Monday am, and had a lovely evening buffet meal at the DC tavern....ate far too much :thumbsup2

The parks looked fantastic, much better than our previous Christmas visit IMO. The main street window displays were very traditional and magical :santa:

The weather was very cold, but dry with little wind (until Wed), and just added to the atmosphere.

The parks were heaving on Sunday, but we still managed multiple rides on BTM during the evening when it quietened down. I left a brand new pair of M&S gloves on the Disney train. Noticed a lost and found sign at the information office on the way out, and guess what they had! Amazing!!!

Mon-Wed were very quiet. Crushs still averaged 60 min (when it was working) but maximum anywhere else in the studios was 10-15 min.

We did early magic twice, and that was brilliant!

Cinemagique :cloud9:

Not a bad word to say really. Not big on characters anyway, so missed the scrums. Did park at the Hotel New York one day though, so we could go skating afterwards, and had some great photos of the children with Goofy and Pluto inside the hotel. The characters seem much more relaxed in the hotel without the masses chasing them around!

Will definitely do Christmas again!
 
I agree with you about the characters meets generally being much more relaxed in the hotels - and I will also be doing Christmas again, as the castle (and Enchanted Candleabration) just make me cry they are so beautiful :love: .

I won't be doing a Christmas season weekend though ;)
 
So glad you had a lovely time.

Also agree about the characters in the hotel being less stressed.
 

Glad you had a wonderful time!

I thought the DCR was brilliant when we were there last week and agree with the buffet...lovely!
 
Welcome back. Glad you had a lovely trip:thumbsup2
 
So good to hear you had fun too! Was beginning to think we were the only ones! :rotfl: Your comments about the window displays on Main street really took me back. They were dressed up like the shops out of something like "It's a Wonderful Life". Just beautiful :cloud9:
 
Welcome home :wave2:

Visiting the characters in the hotel were one of our daily routines. Definitely recommended :thumbsup2
