Best trip ever! Utterly amazing, it all just went so brilliantly.
Highs
- Cast Members were amazing. So much so I wrote An Open Letter To Disneyland Paris Cast Members. They made our holiday so special.
- Weather, no really! We were expecting 5 days of rain and Sunday and Monday were lovely. Tuesday we had some rain but by mid afternoon it had dried up. Wednesday was dry again and so was Thursday until about lunchtime, then the heavens opened. Luckily we left mid afternoon.
- Tower of Terror - I went on, I did, I promise! The theming is out of this world. Lucas went on too, even after getting his height checked twice!
- Characters. Lucas got over his fear of characters, cue lots of magical moments and photos that will cover our walls.
- Star Tours. Lucas was big enough this time, and as a huge fan of Star Wars was in his element, all 5 times.
- Staying off site. So easy and far far cheaper, if not we wouldn't have been able to go. Val d'Europe is a lovely safe area, the train ride is so quick and cheap and our apartment was big (thanks Lynette for your recommendation there), clean and quiet. Driving was a doddle too.
- Cafe Mickey and Planet Hollywood. Returned to both a decade after bad experiences with food and both were super yummy, with great service.
- Crowds. Half term for the UK but not that crowded really, not compared to other holiday periods we've been like summer and Christmas.
Loads more too, but I don't want to bore you!
Lows
Not a lot really - some other guests were a bit rude, but they are in the local supermarket too! It was honestly a trip where everything was amazing - even Lucas getting a cough on Tuesday didn't slow us down.
More details to follow, but for now I can only say what an absolutely wonderful trip it was - the best 5 days of our lives.

, and that Lucas got to go on Star Tours...would have loved to see his face 
great to read about CMs making a great trip unforgettable. We've met some lovely CMs but it is exceptional when they help your l.o's overcome fears about characters and apprehension about rides.
. Looking forward to your trip report.....will keep me going til my trip
