We're back - highs and highs!

[Ms Poppins]

Got back late last night (glad it wasn't today with all the storms, lots of flights cancelled...) from another fantastic holiday at Disneyland Paris

I'm going to start with the lows.....there weren't any that I can think of at all

Highs
The park looked stunning with all the Christmas decorations - beautiful
Christmas Dreams - fantastic show
The pre-show to Dreams too - not heard about this before now, great
The music around the park
Small World Christmas overlay
Christmas Cavalcade
Parade
Meeting Jack Skellington, Mulan, Mary Poppins/Bert and others
Weather - cold but sunny and very crisp. Perfect Christmassy weather
Very short wait times - hardly waited at all for any rides including BTM
Lewis now loving BTM - it's only taken us 5 years
Hotel New York - lovely as ever and we were given special Empire State Club passes for breakfast each day

There are many, many more. Overall it is probably up there with one of our best trips yet. Only thing missing was Mark, our eldest DS who I'd have loved to be there with us.

I'm off work today so will try to get my hundreds of photos uploaded today so that I can make a start on my trip report.

Thanks to all who contribute on here for the great advice and tips as always

Welcome back, I missed your send off!

Sounds a brilliant trip, so pleased for you. Is the pre-show to Dreams just before Dreams itself or is it the little extra, water, lights and music shows that come on seemingly randomly through the day? If it is just before, how long? I don't want to miss it.

Looking forward to your TR and have a merry Christmas!

The pre-show was 15 minutes before Dreams. It was so unexpected for me, I hadn't read anything about it before. The fountains danced and there were different projections on the castle, a kind of mini-Dreams...lovely

Sounds like a fabulous trip, gutted that I couldn't justify squeezing one this year, as it looked fabulous and the first time in many years where I've really wanted to experience it. Was Dreams as superb as it looks on the net ?

Determined that next year I will be there with my nephew, he'll be 7 by then so got to get it in soon, need him to experience the magic while he's still a believer.
