Thank you everyone !

IM BACK !

After an amazing 5 day trip to DLP.

London was amazing but was excited all the time that tomorrow we were going to DLP.
Hotel Cheyenne was great, lovely new flat screen tvs !
I dont know when the breakfast system changed but i like how we could choose times for breakfast each morning !
Unlike in Jan where we were given a set time for each day.
Also they gave us a complimentary breakfast on our last day, saturday in plaza gardens !  :D

Eurostar was perfect getting to lille and was amazing how fast it goes.
Trouble when we got to lille as our train 10 train was cancelled and we arrived around 9 for the hour gap before our original train. The next tgv was 1:30, so we walked around lille shopping centre for the 3-4 hours. It was dissapointing but at least there was a place to go for the wait.

The worst part of the trip was the tgv. There were people with booked seats and people whos trains were cancelled and told to sit any where. We first sat down in a cart, and were in peoples seats so moved. We moved to another set of seats and sat down and stayed there. Crazy how many people were trying to get on this train. At CDG we moved as we were in peoples seats, only to across our original seats. But we arrived in Disneyland 10 minutes later. So we got there about 2:30 - 3:00pm. A bit gutted as we were suppose to arrive at 11am.

Disney was amazing all week everday. Did literally every attraction and most of them 4-5 times. Weather was cold but dry all week accept saturday which was quite cold but rainy and very busy. Nice and warm when the sun came out !. Loved the TSPL rides!.

On the last day we checked if our tgv was running and it was so we spent most of the day in the park left 4:30ish and went through the village, then hotel, then back to the station. We found out then that our tgv was delayed and we would not make our eurostar. And thanks to a big help from eurostar they put us on the direct train at 7:30pm for free !

This is a short summary of the trip, i will make a better photo report later  :D
