Got back late last night from an absolutely fantastic trip. Apart from the weather, everything was perfect and we had so much fun. Not sure I will have time for a trip report so here are my highs and just a few lows (none of which were Disney's fault):-
HIGHS
The Disneyland Hotel - was just wonderful. The character interaction was so nice and there were so many to choose from. In view of the weather it was so nice to be able to just pop back to the hotel whenever we wanted.
DD2's 5th birthday - she had so much attention from characters and Cast Members who were all lovely.
The short queue times
Birthday meal in Cafe Mickey
The fireworks display
DD1 getting a visit from the French Tooth Fairy and loving her leaving Euros instead of pounds
The service from Ezyshuttle
Finally getting to visit Salon Mickey (see below)
Meeting Princess Tiana who was so lovely to my girls and also Rapunzel and the wonderful Flynn Rider.
LOWS
The weather, not cold but very, very wet!!
Realising that I had forgotten my Shareholders card
Luckily I emailed the Shareholders Club and they advised I could get a temporary letter from Salon Mickey, unfortunately it was a few days into our holiday by then but did get to use it for the last 2 days.
The queues on Thursday (French holiday). The park was just crazy busy and the weather was horrible, I ended up wishing we had got an earlier flight home!
The flight home last night, unfortunately the wind in Manchester did not make for a smooth landing

Glad you had a great trip, and pleased to hear that you managed to land safely!
I wouldn't have minded going on to check into my airport hotel at that time. I stuck it out - ate at a buffet and was seeking a warm, dry place at the Studios until my train left Thursday evening.
