I'll start with some details of the holiday:
It was my second ever trip to DLRP, I went with my parents as like I did last time and we stayed in the New York Hotel.
We flew with BMIbaby for a 6:45 flight and arrived at Paris CDG for 9:00, we then took the TGV from 10:00 to Disney and walked to the NYH, it was already bloody hot and it was only the morning.
There was a massive queue for the booking and so me and my mum went to view the shop and the WWDC in the glass cases by the shop.
We spent the first day in the park, second in the studio, and the third and forth in the park, and of course the park for EMH.
I will start to do the first day of the trip soon. =]
Enjoy. :D
1st day!
(MnG is the quick way of saying Meet n' greet)
On the first day we went straight to the hotel New York to check in. While waiting I took some pictures of the hotel, along with some of the WDCC in the glass cases:

Then Pluto came to entertain the guests and danced with the kids:

Once we put our bags away we went into the Village and had "breakfast" at the Earl of Sandwich 11. I had the kids pizza sandwich, which was all right, it went cold quick and the sauce went everywhere but I loved the atmosphere and the decore. We then looked at some of the menus, but not the stores. =/

We then headed to the park, of course getting those amazing shots of the Disneyland Hotel and of the statue outside:

Once inside the gates I saw the castle in her glory with fresh paint and started to cry. =P It was magical. ^^

We slowly made our way down Main Street taking pictures of the window displays and buildings as we passed by:

Once we got closer to the castle I was full of Disney spirit! =D
We headed around the stage to Fantasyland as I didn't want to walk through the castle. =P

(//http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/Laura_Knighton/056.jpg)
I took some pics of the rehab of the Galley but I haven't uploaded them yet.
We walked down to Agrabah and the Rhythms of the Jungle MnG:

I didn't want to queue up, so we got some ice-creams and waited for the first showing of the Peter Pan show!
Here are some but I'll post a link to the Flickr folder here! (//http://www.flickr.com/photos/alternativerock123/sets/72157627214631226/)

We went in the Les Myseres Du Nautilus, but I didn't take that many good photo's. They were all blury. =/
It then got to around 3, so we headed to the Hotel
First we passed Donald's Desk and got my Dream Passport! =D I don't have a picture of it yet, but I will soon. ^^ I was soooo happy.
So we headed to the hotel and we got our room, so we just sat for a few hours and freshened up.

We then headed to Annettes for Dinner and shared the burger with my mum, as it was a bit to much.
Here comes the bad news:
As we were walking into the park, I was stung by a wasp! >.< Luckly I'm not fully allergic, I only had a slight allergy and rash. >.< I was soooo annoyed and it made me cry for ages.
We headed to first aid (at least I know where it is now) and got myself sorted out. I felt a bit dizzy and I couldn't stop crying. I tired to watch the parade as it passed by Casey's but I just felt sick.
We headed back through the arcade and back to the hotel and went straight to bed. I was still upset that I couldn't see all the shows on the first day, but there wasn't anything I could do, it was stinging like a ***** and made me ill. But it was nice to have an early night's sleep.
So this concludes day 1!
Nice report of day one, except for the wasp.
Did you like Hotel New York? I hope you do, we're staying there our next trip.
Thanks for your report and the beautiful pics!!!! I will be staying at Hotel New York soon too! So it's great for me to see your fotos :-) Looking forward to read more soon :-)
Very nice report and awesome photos! I am very glad for another!
Nice photos. I see that Mr. Smee was an face character. What did you think about that when you meet him?
Thanks for the report - great to read with just a week to go before I am there :)
GREAT photos too - may I ask what camera you use?
Hey guys.
Questions to answer
QuoteDid you like Hotel New York?
Yeah it was pretty okay. The beds were a bit hard, but the bathroom was huge. I don't really take that much notice of the rooms because to me it's a place to sleep. =P But overall I would give it a 8/10 (Y) Breakfast was nice, the character meetings were awesome and the entire look and feel was warming.
QuoteMr. Smee was an face character. What did you think about that when you meet him?
Honestly there was something about him that was odd, the cast member seemed nervous, but he was happy to pose for pictures before the show. But I think it's just because I'm used to seeing him as a head-character. So it was a bit weird.
QuoteGREAT photos too - may I ask what camera you use?
I use a Sony A200 with a 18-70 lens or my brand new 70-300 macro/zoom lens. =D Some of the photos were taken on my mum's old camera which I can't find and can't remember and my dad uses a Sony Cybershot for videos and some pictures. =]
Day 2!Woke up at the crack of dawn, at about 6:30. We all got ready and headed down to breakfast for 7:30. I wasn't feeling to good, I think it was a result of the wasp sting the night before. So I only had two bread rolls and some butter/jam. I felt even worse afterwards about 15 mins later, so I went back to the room to relax.
I suddendly felt better once I woke up and we headed down stairs to see the mouse himself! Mickey! I was sooo happy and it cheered me right up!

He loved my Minnie t-shirt that was " I <3 (with old fashioned minnie inside) with underneith saying Shopping, music, shoes, make-up and Mickey! He "read them all down" and once he got to Mickey I did the <3 with my hands he went all shy. =P
I have a video but they will be the last things to upload.
We then headed to the park - having another picture with my prince. =P
Of course I had to take more pictures of the castle, this time with a first gold tower! =D

We then headed Buzz Lightyears Lazer Blast! and I lost. =[ I swear my gun was broken though. =P
Then went to the dragon! There was only one family in there so it was easy to get some amazing pictures.

We headed to the studios! The dark clouds started looming over us and it went cold. >.<
Once we were in the studio's we saw Minnie by her limo.
I got in the queue, in the CORRECT place and some woman started yelling at me in some forgein language because I went under the rope when there wasn't a queue.
Everyone queued to the right of the rope, not the left, so even if I walked around, I still would have got there first.

I showed her my top and she went all giddy and gave me another hug. =P
Once we got into the studios it began to slowly rain. We just got out umbrellas and I took some pictures of the statues around the Disney Animation building.
It started to rain harder and harder and it was mayhem. We went to get some waterproofs, my mum stood in the queue and some woman accused us of pushing in. They ran out of Adult sizes, so we get childrens sizes. 21 euros for three! >.< :x Also me and my dad spotted people picking them off the counter and just walking off!
By this point the rain still was fast so we went into the Animagique show. IT WAS AMAZING! =D The entire place was full. =P We then went to Cinemaique - equally as amazing! Once we got outside, the rain had stopped! >.< The place was still dark and over-cast. We ran into the back of the Art of Disney Animation.

Some pictures of them leaving here! (//http://www.flickr.com/photos/alternativerock123/sets/72157627098844619/)We then headed around the back towards the Toy Story Playground, but I really needed to buy a hat, so we went back towards Studio 1 and I got a Peter Pan one, You will see it later in the report. =P
I then went to take pictures of the statues in better light this time. =P
Here is the full album! (//http://www.flickr.com/photos/alternativerock123/sets/72157627098461255/)(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6135/5950484726_a5548d2465.jpg)

Afterwards we got a bite to eat and sat down for a bit. We then headed to the Motor's Stunt Show. That took up a lot of the day. =P
We then waited for characters for a bit. Just relaxing. Our feet were dead from yesterday. My dad wanted to go on Crush's coaster, but as it was sunny, the queue was over an hour long. So we got a good place ready for the parade at 5.
Then suddenly PETER PAN AND WENDY with Smee and Genie came out the door by Studio One!
I jumped up on my feet faster than I have before! I wanted a picture! I got some pictures but they were a bit blury, they move soooo fast.

I was getting annoyed as so many "little ninja's" were pushing in front of me, thankfully the cast member knew that I wanted a picture and got Peter's attention for a picture, Wendy also joined.
(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6128/5950561680_643c687cb3.jpg)
We then headed back down to the stage for Star's and their Car's. I looked at the picture by mum took (the one above) and burst out crying. :cry: But it was happy tears! I was sooooo happy! XD
Star's and their car's rolled on by and I got lots of pictures, even though a family in front of me had a bloody less then 1 year old baby in her arms who wouldn't stop crying - she wasn't bothered, she wouldn't know what's going on. They also had a 5 year old in a pram taking up lots of the space that kids though was free space, so i had lots of kids pushing my knees getting to the front in a space that wasn't there! >.<

We then headed back to the hotel as I was boiling! You would have never thought it rained that morning!
I'll continue the rest later. My fingers hurt. =P
Enjoy.
Again, nice photos and report :-)
Yet another great update - thanks for sharing!
I agree :thumbs: Perfect timing for me as I'm going to stay at Hotel New York in less than 4 weeks :) Trip reports are pretty rare at the moment. So thanks again!!
I am not too keen on smee and hook as face characters, I much prefer them as heads.
Great report though, sound like a brilliant trip despite the wasp.
Martin :0)
Fantastic report! It's getting me all excited for my first trip to DLP in 4 days times :) I'll keep checking back for your up dates!
I am loving your trip report! You've taken some fab pics! So sorry to hear about the wasp sting. Poor you :( It looks like the rest of your trip so far has been really great though! Also, I love the colour of your hair! So pretty! :)
Double Post... =P
Thank you guys for such positive feedback on my trip report! It makes me happy. =D
DAY 2 PART 2!
I forgot I only got half way through the last day. =P
So time to continue!
So yeah, we went back to the hotel to freshen up and just rest as taking pictures is hard. =P

We headed straight to the park around 6:30 to get ready for the parade as I "missed" it the night before. We walked around for a bit just taking in the atmosphere. We then picked a good space right on the corner facing the hub to get some pictures.
As the "Just like we dreamed it!" song played before the show - I sang along - but my voice kept cracking and I had to stop as I kept nearly crying. XD

After the parade we headed towards Adventureland for dinner - we went to the Hakuna Matata restaurant as my mum kept smelling the kababs all day under her nose from yesterday. So I had the "lightly spiced" chicken and chips and it was.... strong and horrible - the chips were overly peppered and cold. So I only ate half of it. :( At this point it suddendly went really dark and over cast - and then I went cold - like redicously cold. I thought it was going to rain. But it didn't. So that as all right.
As I am nesh - wearing a skirt and t-shirt was like wearing a bikni in the snow. So my dad offered to go get my coat. So
he walked back to the hotel - like power walked and it took him 30 minutes to get there. Me and my mum sat on a bench waiting for the Hub show time to roll by - and my dad set off at 8:45 and was back just in time. =X
But once I was warm again the show started - but it was still dark, so I got rubbish blury dark pictures. ALSO PARENTS WHO PUT THEIR KIDS ON THEIR SHOULDERS RIGHT BY THE HUB SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED!!! I couldn't see, and therefore neither could my camera! :evil: I only say to do that when you are miles away or were no one is behind you.
So here are my pictures from that night. Which isn't a lot. (//http://www.flickr.com/photos/alternativerock123/sets/72157627106456941/)

Of course after the show we moved to a good place ready for the Fantillusion Parade! =D

and the bad thing of the day! My lens broke during the parade - not in that of a bad way, the auto-focus stopped working and it was making a vibrating noise. after the holiday my dad found that one of the cogs has come loose. But that was my first ever lens, it came with the camera over 2 years ago. so i think the dark vs light of the parade broke it from too much auto-focusing.
So for the fireworks I had to manually focus the camera - so some images might be blurry, even though the wind was blowing the smoke towards us.
My dad got a video on both nights, but I won'e be uploading them until later.
Here are all the fireworks from that night! (//http://www.flickr.com/photos/alternativerock123/sets/72157627107143653/)

After a long day - we headed back to the hotel - completely tired.
I didn't take any pictures of main-street all lit up because of the lens. But my dad did and I did get some the next day.
We headed towards the village. I took some pictures of the window displays in light without daytime reflection.

And that concludes DAY 2!
Day 3 part 1 might be uploaded sometime tonight, if not, tomorrow. =]
Thanks again guys.
Great TR, thank you for writing it. I like to take pictures of the windows as well. They look so great!

Great report and pics so far.
I actually like the atmosphere of the evening show pics, brings some drama to the images and you get more of a sense of being there.
DAY 3! PART 1!
On day three, my parents decided to leave me in bed over breakfast, so I could get a lye in as I don't do well with lack of sleep and getting up early. I
quickly got ready and we headed down stairs. Mickey was there again, but I didn't feel it necessary to get a picture with him again - and Goofy would be arriving soon and I already had my picture with him - so we headed to the park. Today is a full day in the park!
We headed through the entrance and I saw the FINAL GOLD TOWER! I was so happy the castle was nearly complete, but silhouetted, it was complete. This time we went straight to Fantasyland.

(Technically these pictures were taken on the 12th in EHM, but I forgot to add them in, so I'll just put these here. Same thing, just on a different day)

We decided to go on Peter Pan's flight and the Tea Cups before heading towards the princess location.
Time was getting closer to 10, so we joined the queue for the Princesses. I was stood in the gap to see straight to the doors by Small world, so I was the first to see her come out. I shouted: "IT'S TIANA! PRINCESS TIANA!" and the family in front of us asked who that was (in spanish english) and I said princess and the frog, they said "Black?" and I said "yes" they just left. Unless they had seen her before but I was shocked. O.o
(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6148/5949694307_d42cef40d2.jpg)(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6145/5950253910_17d03357e3.jpg)(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6030/5949698781_7c09d9b312.jpg)
(Best thing about Tiana was that said said Bonjour in a perfect french accent - but once I said hello and she learnt I was english - she somewhat broke character and spoke in a london accent - it was funny!)
After I met Tiana, I didn't want to wait in the queue again, so we headed to go on Small World, since we were right next to it. I've never been on it before, and it creeped me out as much as I thought it would.
Before going on the Storybook boat ride, we saw a small crowd around the Tea-party table, still wanting to see Hatter, we thought it was him, but it was the queen instead.

Afterwards we went back past the Alice area and saw the Tweedles. I had to get a picture of course.

We then went towards Adventureland again. This time we went on Pirates of the Carribbean, and I hated but loved it. =P
I was scared I was going to get wet as we were put on the front row - but the entire ride was amazing. The walk to the main ride was ridiculous! =P
Afterwards we went down towards the Rythms of the Jungle meet n greet. Were it was King Loiue and Baloo but they left and It was Timon and Rafiki!

After we headed down to Fontierland for the first time in the trip - Dad wanted to show me and mum Phantom Manner, but it was closed. >.< So we went on the
Molly brown instead as my mum really wanted too - I didn't take any pictures as it was drizzleing and I just wanted to take in the atmostphere.
We then stopped for a snack and rest and then headed to the Tarzan Encounter.
HERE IS PICTURES FROM THE SHOW!! (//http://www.flickr.com/photos/alternativerock123/sets/72157627108454975/with/5954743789/)

We then headed towards main-street to go on the Train, as my mum wanted too and we saw characters! I got my picture taken with Fiar Tuck and Cpt Hook with
Smee!

The queue for the train was massive, but we didn't want to leave and not do the things mum wanted too - so we waited and got off a Fantasyland. Around this
time we went to the Razpunel meet'n'greet!

While I was getting pictures of Punzee - my dad went to see who was at the princess meet'n'greet and then told us that characters were by the Small World
area - I got my picture with Eeyore, as Tiger was really busy and the others were Fiar Tuck and --- I think someone else I can't remember.

We then went to see if Hatter had made any random appearance, but no, but I looked over back at the Rapzunel area and saw FLYNN! My mouth dropped and I ran!
I got some pictures of him and with me. My mum was soooo bossy but it was funny!

We went towards Main Street and back into Adventureland at the entrance as I wanted to go to the Aladdin Meet'n'greet - we saw that Baloo and King Louie were
at their meet'n'greet - so I got a picture with them first.

I'll leave it there for the moment! I want to make the next section the top of the post. XD Best part of the trip!
Thank you guys for reading!
Can't wait to read the next instalment!

Hi! great photos and report! :)
I met the same Tiana too! she was so lovely and yes she made me laugh when she came out with her british accent! she liked my auto book from Disney California and my mum came in for a photo as it was her birthday and Tiana saw her Disney birthday badge and was like "I just noticed your badge! have a happy birthday!"
I met the same Jasmine too! she had a lovely french accent and was so sweet!
I also had no luck with Alice and Hatter either :( 3 days we were at Disneyland Park we asked the cast members with the other alice characters if she was coming out. 1st day said no and they didn't know if she would be out the next day, 2nd day said no as well and the 3rd day they said yes so we waited around for about 40 mins but it was just the other alice characters coming out in rotations so we gave up, oh well! :?
Oh and i love your pic with Peter and Wendy you're so lucky!
ElyonTink :tink:
Elyontink - So Alice and hatter seem to be turning into rare characters, shame. =[ I hope to see him next time I go coz my friend really wants too. Thank you.
DAY 3 PART 2!
The best part!
I really wanted to see Peter and the gang before the follow the leader show. So we sat and waited and they then came along. My dad was first "attacked" by two pirates. And I was then pulled by two pirates as they commented in french about my red hair and how it matched one the pirates.

The pirate kept talking to me and calling me his "wife" and it was funny! He also attacked my mum and call her the cute one, but my mum just kept pushing him back to me. - But when I had my picture with John, he was in the background (as you can see) and after when the pirate tried to climb over the rope - Jonh pulled it up with his umbrella so it caught the pirate between his legs. XD It was funny.

So yes I just like to say that my pirate husband reminds me of another character who is a bit pompous and wants to kill the beast! from last years trip to Disney. XD
We then went to eat at Bella Note, i thought it was pretty awesome food and the atmosphere and amazing! I only had a small pot of pasta and garlic bread - but it was amazing. We then went to sit by the right large pillar at the entrance to Fanastyland for the parade, it wasn't until 40 minuets, but we all were so glad to sit down.

After we went straight to see Cpt Jack! Last time he came out a different door, and my dad was filming that door all the time and he popped out another door. >.< But as he was selecting people out of the crowd - I stood by some barrels and coz of my bright hair, he chose me after about 5 people. =D

I tried to kiss him on the cheek - but he wouldn't let me - so i kissed his hand again. - he was so amazing coz he was leaning on me all drunk. But when I pulled away, his "mum" on a string got attached to my button. and everyone laughed (not in a bad way) and he pulled it off and said "kiss my mum instead" so I did. XD He also asked if it was my birthday ... which was odd coz I said "no" and he just replied "oh, that's a shame" XD

DAY 4 LAST DAY OF THE TRIP =[
Last day - we packed in the morning and checked out - it was sad. :(
We then went straight to the baggage area and checked in our luggage and coz of my Dream pass we got all three bags in for free but we had to pay 3 euros for my laptop - but it didn't really break the bank.
We then headed into the park for the last of the magical hours!
(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6140/5966763608_57c9e413f0.jpg)
We headed to Fanastyland around the side of the castle and went straight to the princess meet'n'greet as it was already really late into EMH.

and it was Belle! I was soooo happy! I also asked her to record a special message for my friend Ashley who LOVES Belle and will be coming in less then 2 weeks now. =D

We then went around to see if Hatter or Alice was around but they weren't other than the White Rabbit and the Queen.

My dad was getting a bit annoyed about time at this point - even though it was only around half 10 - so I did some shopping - I think - or some browsing. But we headed towards the castle's back and saw the scaffolding was down! Yay!
My mum didn't see upstairs last time because she had a problem with her knee so going up stairs was a pain for her - but I was sooooo glad she was able to see it this time.

At this point my camera stopped taking photos as I forgot to delete previous photos off the card - so we left and i was trying to delete them on the move - but my mum got a picture with me and the well.
(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6127/5973897400_4c6aa66662.jpg)
I then got to sit down and delete my photos- which was annoying because I forgot how. >.< But it all got better.
We then headed down to Frontierland to see what was happening with Phantom Mannor - we started to queue, but people were just pushing and it pissed me off - we then saw the queue was MASSIVE and it wasn't moving. So I kept apologising to my dad because he really wanted to go on it. =[
So we headed to Discoveryland to watch Captain E.O. as my parents are HUGE Michael Jackson fans. I didn't take any pics around here as I was still deleting slowly and I ran out of steam to take atmosphere images.
I thought the show was pretty good too. After we went through the secret passage to Fantasyland and caught the Disney Dance Express leaving.

We saw Ariel at the princess area so we queued again for a picture - the times changed as it went from 10 to 10:30 then they swooped - but this time it was around 15 - 45 , so Ariel changed to Aurora - but I wasn't bothered.
As we just met her as she came out - my dad came back to tell us there was characters at the Small world doors - so I was able to interact and meet with more characters!

Cruella was sooo funny - I asked if my outfit was acceptable - but she just kept moaning about my princess and Alice jewellery and my Alice top - she said it was all right - my mum asked for a picture but she shouted "OH WE HAVE TIME NOW!" As she said she was leaving soon and there wasn't time for anything. =P

(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6131/5966457331_005ee47ddf.jpg)
Mulan was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NICE! She was having a convo with me - asking me about my day, my stay, have I met Cruella yet, complementing my jewellery. She was amazing!
(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6143/5973356691_c5164938fc.jpg)
We saw that Fiar Tuck was also there on his own. Bless - but we sat down for a minute and just watched the characters some more. Daisy then came to the other side from where Mulan was.

Pinocchio and Gideon came to were Mulan was Cruella was - I love how Gideon went straight for a hug! XD
and as it was mid afternoon - I was fed up of pushing parents and ninja kids - poor Pinocchio was nearly getting squashed! >.<

Time was getting closer for a Princess change so we went back and saw it was Ariel =[ I wanted to Meet Snow White.

She then left and it returned back to Aurora for the last section.
(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6007/5954750190_286f51ed20.jpg)
I forgot to keep taking pics - so I got some of Aurora

It began nearing to Rapunzel coming out - so we waited back a green-door for her to come out. Peter, wendy, john and pirates came out first.
(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6010/5967087972_88f117ddf7.jpg)(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6027/5966536751_210f2b56b3.jpg)(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6016/5967095204_da34cfb057.jpg)(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6009/5966548697_6f301cce77.jpg)
Tweedles then came by to leaving into the door

We turned around and saw Rapunzel walking behind us. >.< She came out a different door than last time.
(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6023/5966564189_53ced13416.jpg)(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6002/5967130180_d4ba866157.jpg)(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6148/5967134356_da7f7e7ccc.jpg)
It was now getting later so I went shopping. We then headed to Main-street was I wanted a Snow White tiara - but we couldn't find a tiara with her on it, so i got a belle one instead - we then went into the Kodak shop to get my princess pictures. My dad came in and said that characters were out. So I got my picture with a few of them.
(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6139/5973362265_a1548dab12.jpg)(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6020/5973363341_b24f41134b.jpg)(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6017/5973923490_4f632583df.jpg)
I can't really remember this bit perfectly - but I remember seeing Ariel and Belle in the middle section by the gazebo and through the crowd I saw a red cape. My heart stopped as I knew it was SNOW WHITE! I began to freak out and I ran to the other side - I was soooooo hyper, but then the cast member said she was moving to the other said to where we just came from! >.< So before the crowd moved - we ran and got right to the rope.
She was right infront of me! XD She went to a little girl first and I said to my mum "do you think I can get over the rope?" and snow white turned and said in the softed voice: "I'll come to you soon," and i just went red and blubbed "no, it's all right take your time yea it's fine." =P
She then chose me and I got my PICTURE WITH HER!!! AHHH!
She saw my Snow White neckalase and Belle earrings and said they were beautiful - I then told her she is my favourite princess and i've been dieing to meet her over my trip - she then replied in the quietest, softest voice - "oh, thank you, i'm so glad" XD
(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6142/5973925598_091c9d66c4.jpg)(//http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6017/5973368425_83ef9db517.jpg)
I then gave her a hug and thanked her a million times- she was just smiling and being snow white. XP
I was still shaking, i then got over the rope, my dad showed me the video (will go up soon) and the picture I then just cried, and cried and cried and cried - my dad held me and I just cried - I was soooooooooooooo happy! :D
I then calmed down and got some pictures of the princesses - lots of Snow White.

and that's it folks! We then got our bags, said goodbye to the castle - the park and went on the TGV back to CDG back to EMA and home. I was sad, but still glowing from meeting Snow White.
I am slowly uploading videos to my Youtube - once they are all up, or mostly, I will add them separetly to a new topic in order. =]
Thank you guys once again, I really appreciate it!
:D

I'm glad to be of help. Yeah the New York was all right, honestly a little toooooo over priced for the quality, - like our shower was slightly broken, it took ages for the hot water to kick in, and the bed was lumpy (but i think that's coz i'm just used to a sponge mattress)
I hardly go on rides - that's my character secret. XD Also just stay around the main character areas, small world doors mainly.
I think it could have been coz its the summer - i over heard a British cast member tell a family that it's just an opportunity for people to see more characters and princesses (but it just HAPPENED to be on 14th July, which was Bastille day)
Thank you very much - yeah i've had my hair for nearly 2 years now - like that bright red for 2 years lol

Really? Oh thank you very much. X3
Did you find it hard to get near the character for photos...was the "scrum" difficult?
Thanks for your great report and the beautiful pics!!! :) Always pleasure to read from people that are enthusiastic as i am :D/
Can i ask you some questions? Although you didn't go on many rides, do you remember any rides being closed in evenings or opened later during the day? I experienced the same with counter restaurants a few years ago. I'm going to Disneyland in 3 weeks and I'd like to be informed before i go so i can plan better ;) Thanks a lot!! :D

Sometimes, but if you just stand near the character, they sometimes notices you or just push in before the little ninja's get under your feet.

Thank you. =]
Honestly, I didn't notice - all the areas close at 10 ready for Fantillusion and the fireworks later - so I think most rides would be open till later. So yeah, sorry - by the evening, we never passed any rides we just sat around for the parades. =P
But I'm going on the 8th-10th August so I can check then. :)
youve made me want to make my misson when i go, to meet as many characters as possible!!! so could you give me a brief list of wheres best to find them, and where the meet and greets are please, then hopefully i'll get some amazing pics like yours!!! love your report!
hi, we had to queue up by its a small world for 10am to see a princess when we went, how come you got to see so many by the entrance. Im so jealous, we we in may and there were hardly any characters walking about. Was it because it was may?
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous, we queued 30mins to see a princess each day.
advice on how 2 meet so many characters plzzz?

Honestly it's just luck - somedays the park will have lots of characters and another day could be none. The characters came out a lot around the Small World doors in the afternoon - however a few (suck as Cinderella's Mice) came out straight away in the morning.
Also just read the program for where characters will be - such as the princesses like you said. But most of the time random character appearances can happen anywhere - when I went as said characters also appeared at the top of main-street near the entrance around 3 onwards.
But yeah, it's just luck - we sometimes just sat for ages just waiting for characters to appear - wait by the "cast member only" doors too - the green coloured ones are the best. :thumbs:
your photos are absolutely amazing! Especially all the Princess ones. Soooo jealous you got to talk to Peter Pan!

My dad did all these videos so Thank you daddy. =P Also he did do LOTS more.
To see all the videos - they are on my youtube (Dur) and some videos of the parades and shows. =]
ENJOY!
Great videos!! I wanna meet Mulan sooo badly - very jealous of you right now lol!! :lol:
Your photos are absolutely stunning!! I love the montage of the Aurora ones, she's so stunning!
Its nice to see a grown up chasing after characters also :D I used to feel bad about doing it. But hey..grown ups pay more than the kids so we should be allowed to chase who we want!
