So its now only 20 days to go til we leave for the magical land and i am probably more excited than the kids  :-[ ;D Heres a quick pre trip report, mainly to try and release some of the excitement lol. Heres whos going,

Me (and bump as will be 28 weeks pregnant whilst there)
DH (celebrating his birthday whilst we are there)
DD (age 9)
DD (age 5)

So we leave on Sunday 26th January on a car ferry at 4am so one early start for us, taxi picking us up to take us to St Pancras  Eurostar station for 10.14 direct train. yahhhh!!!  ;D
We are staying at hotel Cheyenne this time, this is the first time we have stayed here as we normally stay at the Santa Fe but we thought they were the same price so we would give it a go, plus the girls get bunk beds rather than a double bed to share. We will use the  Disney express  luggage service and head straight to the park when we first arrive before walking back to hotel to check in at 3ish.

We are not really planners we normally just go with the flow but we really want to eat from Annettes Diner although it will probably be a takeaway rather than sit in and really want to see descent of the stairs as have never done this. Other than that there is nothing planned lol.

Travelling back on 30th January  :'( so hoping the time will not go too fast.


Soooooo excited right now its unbelievable, BRING ON THE MAGIC

Your so lucky!! I've got another 83 days to go! I've not told my girls we are going and I'm fit to burst with excitement! You sound a lot a like me, i don't plan either and tend to just go with it! I find plans to rigid and it kinda stessed me out, especially if it don't go to plan! The only planning (which isn't really planning) I've done is a to do list of the things we missed the last time. It's a tick box so it's not set in stone and we can tick it once we've done it!
We have also stayed at Santa Fe the last couple of times and really enjoyed it there but I'm giving Cheyenne a try! The Cheyenne looks much more like a theme compared to Santa Fe.  I'm also wanting to do the ascent of the stairs which is on my to do list of things I've missed in previous visits! And I've heard from this forum that Annette's diner is supposed to be fab so I may try this out too! I hope (well you will!!  :D) have a brilliant time! Louise x

I am such a child when it comes to anything disney lol. We tried to plan where we wanted to eat and stuff when we went last time as we had eaten places the first time we really liked but when we got there they were closed second time round so we were a bit gutted and had to find other places so this time apart from anettes diner there is no plan lol. We have managed to do all rides that were ok for girls over previous trips luckily but if its not too busy , as i have heard its quiet at end of january, my dh will do the bigger rides that he hasnt done before. Like you say if you plan and it goeswrong i would stress out about it. Im sure we will have the best time as will you and the time has gone so quick the last couple of months but i think with the pregnancy then christmas there has been plenty of stuff to keep me occupied lol.
:-D :-D
