Hello everyone!  :hello:
I got back from DLRP on saturday night, and I've just about managed to upload all of my photos (over 500!!) and let my feet recover from all the walking! I went with my boyfriend, Mike, and we're both 17 so we had to fill in parental consent forms in order for us to go. We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, and it really was a fantastic trip, I had been planning and looking forward to it for over a year so I was worried that it might not live up to our expectations but it really did, I can't wait to go back! I had been to DLRP twice before, once for the 10th anniversary when I was 7, and once again in 2006. Mike has been twice before also and to WDW once, so we were both looking forward to 'returning' to Disneyland ;) Anyway, I'll stop rambling now and begin, I hope you enjoy my trip report! :)

DAY ONE - Wednesday 27th June

My alarm went off at 4:30AM, and Mike had stayed at mine so I had to drag him out of bed! We packed some last minute things in our suitcases and hand luggage and set off for Ebbsfleet station at around 5:20. We stopped off on the way to put some credit on my phone in case I needed to ring home for emergencies, as my contract doesn't cover phoning abroad. We got to Ebbsfleet around 6:10 and our train didn't leave for another hour so we had plenty of time. My mum had taken us to the station and wanted to make sure that we got on our train alright, so we sat and had a coffee for a while.

We said goodbye to my mum, went through security and waited for a little while before we boarded our Eurostar to Lille. We found our seats and the journey went really quickly, the journey through the tunnel is so fast too!

We got off at Lille and sat down for a while, as our TGV was coming in about 50 minutes. I was a bit confused about stamping our tickets in the little yellow machines, and as we got onto the platform I realised I had stamped my returning ticket by mistake so Mike had to run up the stairs and stamp the right ticket for me haha  :roll: The TGV went really quickly too but it stopped at each station for about 10 minutes which made me a bit impatient as I was so excited to get there!! I had been feeling really sick and nervous for the whole journey as I was so worried about if there might be some problem with us checking in or something due to our age. I had really been worrying as the day before we still hadn't recieved our holiday confirmation in the post or from the travel agent, so i was freaking out until Mike's mum realised she had it all along  :roll: thank goodness for that! Anyway, as we approached Marne La Vallee I became so excited, as I could see Space Mountain, Tower of Terror and the top of the Castle out of the window!!  :D/

We took our luggage up to the Disney Express counter and was served by a lovely man who spoke English very well :) There was a bit of a problem though, he told us that our package hadn't arrived yet as it would be arriving with the direct train from St Pancras, and so our park tickets hadn't arrived or anything :( But he printed us out a park ticket each for the day so it really wasn't any problem at all and told us we could just pick up our package from the hotel when we checked in later  :thumbs: After handing over our luggage we rushed down the stairs and outside, grabbing the video camera from my bag and breathing a sigh, we were finally here :) I could see Panoramagique over the top of the village, and the big yellow shuttle buses travelling backwards and forwards. We suddenly realised how hot it was too! We ran towards the entrance of the parks, taking in the beautiful sight of the hotel as we walked underneath it, and admiring all of Fantasia Gardens. When we got through the turnstyles I started to get a bit teary. We had waited so long for this trip and had been talking about it almost constantly for over a year, it felt almost unreal that we were finally there.

Our first stop was to go up inside the castle, as I don't really have any memory of going up there. The windows were lovely and so colourful

After we toured the castle we had a walk around fantasyland, stopping off for a fastpass for Peter Pan's Flight :)

Le Pays Des Contes De Fees had about a 5 minute wait, and as it was a ride I had never been on before, we thought we might as well make it the first ride of our trip :) The moving platform scared me a bit but we managed to get on okay and we really enjoyed the ride, Mike couldn't stop smiling!

It was a nice start to the trip to get us in the disney mood :) Afterwards we headed over towards Its a Small World :D

After touring the rest of Fantasyland, we walked round to Discoveryland.

There was a 10 minute wait for Space Mountain. Mike couldn't remember whether he had been on it before or not, as he couldn't remember the beginning of it when you shoot up. I told him not to worry and that it wasn't scary or anything...Funnily enough when we got up to the front of the queue, we were seated at the front of the carriages :D What a brilliant place to ride for someone who's never been on before haha

Mike really liked the ride, and for me it was better than I ever remembered it being! Unfortunately it gave Mike a headache for a while, it really is so bumpy :( That's one thing I do remember! We toured around Discoveryland to try and let Mike's headache ease a bit.

We were really eager to see the rest of the park and reacquaint ourselves, so we walked through Main St over to Adventureland.

We then went on Pirates of the Caribbean, which had about a 30 minute wait but we didn't realise until we got into the queue. This turned out to be the longest wait we waited for the whole holiday, which isn't bad! We then had a quick look around Frontierland and admired BTM, looking as lovely as ever :D

After looking around all the lands, we decided it was time to go and check into our hotel (Santa Fe) as it was about 3/4 o clock by now. We checked in with no problems regarding our consent forms (phew!). We explained about our package with our tickets and the lady at Reception went and fetched them for us and gave us a map of our hotel and directed us to our room. We were in Building 10 in room 117, which was upstairs and overlooking the cactus on the Trail of Artifacts. It was a really lovely room with a big corner room looking out onto the reception but also quite close to the Rio Grande :) I was a bit apprehensive about staying at the Santa Fe as I had heard a few bad reviews, but it really was very nice and clean. They were doing work on the buildings and painting them whilst we were there, which is clearly needed as the outside of the buildings do look a bit shabby. But our room was lovely and served its purpose, as we really only slept and rested in there.

I thought it was cool that our hair dryer had the logo on it hahah!  =D>

After having a short rest in our room, changing into shorts and pums, and watching a bit of tv (we soon turned over the Disneyland Paris channel after watching that incredibly irritaing woman doing a top 10 things to do in the parks  :| ) we decided to walk by the Rio Grande to Lake Disney. We took a slow stroll round the Lake and took in the atmosphere, whilst admiring all the lovely hotels. I would LOVE to stay at Newport Bay on our next trip, as I really wanted to on this trip but our budget was rather small. We then wandered on to Disney Village and took a few photos.

We went back to the parks after this and I think we then went to get a fastpass for BTM. Mike had lost his fastpass for Peter Pans Flight from earlier that day  :roll:

Then it was time to use our fastpass for BTM. The queue was fast moving so we got on quite soon. It felt so good to be back on the ride and brought back some nice memories from when I went 10 years ago. Back then my little brother was about 5 and used to cry over everything, including all the rides at Disneyland. To try and calm him down we tried to find a nice slow ride in Frontierland. My mum saw the BTM train finishing around the front of the ride and assumed it just went around at that speed and it was a "nice little train ride". Needless to say, my brother was absolutely terrified and so were we once we realised what was happening, and he didn't stop crying for ages! Ahaha but we never made that mistake again!

It was so lovely walking back into the parks and seeing everything lit up. We found a spot in the middle of the plaza and sat and waited for Dreams. It was without a doubt the best thing Ive ever seen, absolutely amazing. It brought me to tears, the music and the lights and everything was just sooooo beautiful :)

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1640.jpg)

After watching Dreams we walked back to the hotel and stopped off at the petrol station to buy a big bottle of flavoured water. We watched a bit of Disney Channel and then went to sleep, still amazed and mesmerized by Dreams  :mrgreen:

Looks like you had a great time! I love your shirt btw and I'm looking forward to the rest of your trip report.
I'm 17 as well and I'm going to DLRP this summer without my parents and I was wondering about that form, is it an official form that I can download somewhere or is it just a note written by my parents? I hope you can help me out!

Aw, I loved your trip report and your photos so much, I'm excited for Day Two! I like the scrunched-up faces you and your boyfriend did in some of the first photos, me and my boyfriend do the exact same face and we have near-identical photos to those :') I totally agree about Dreams, it made me cry too, I wish I could see it again! Youtube just isn't the same!

That was a fantastic fun read =D>  I look forward to the rest of your holiday report. Also, loved the photos :thumbs:

Quote from: "PrincessEnya"Looks like you had a great time! I love your shirt btw and I'm looking forward to the rest of your trip report.
I'm 17 as well and I'm going to DLRP this summer without my parents and I was wondering about that form, is it an official form that I can download somewhere or is it just a note written by my parents? I hope you can help me out!
xoxo Enya

Thank you! :)
Well we booked our trip through our travel agent and they gave us the form, we filled it out and then gave it back to our travel agent and they sent it to DLRP in order to confirm our booking :) Hope this helps, but I'm sure you can ring DLRP if you'd prefer and they could probably mail you the paperwork and you send it back :)

Hahaha, yeah those faces became a bit of a habit throughout the holiday as the sun was always getting in our eyes :') I know! I showed my mum the video on youtube and she still thought it was amazing but I tried to explain it was absolutely nothing in comparison to seeing it in real life. When you feel the warmth of that fire on your face its just, wow!

Quote from: "Epcot_Boy"That was a fantastic fun read =D>  I look forward to the rest of your holiday report. Also, loved the photos :thumbs:

Thank you very much! I'll be starting the second day soon and there are plenty more photos to come!  :thumbs:

An amazing trip report so far. I love your photos - I love the one of Mike "holding" the top of the castle - very artistic!

Cannot wait to see more. =D  :thumbs:

Hahaha for us too! We always do faces like that anyway but the sun does get in your eyes doesn't it, especially in front of the Disneyland Hotel for some reason we've found?! Yesss the fire was amazing, we were quite far back so I was shocked we could still feel it...'wow' is definitely the word for it :D

Thanks for sharing your photos and trip report! They are really great.  :D

DAY TWO - Thursday 28th June

We had got to bed at about 1AM last night after walking back from dreams, going to the petrol station and showering before bed, but we were determined to get up early and explore our first full day in the park. We woke up around 7 and got dressed and packed our bags for the day. It was then that I realised we weren't given breakfast passes when we checked in yesterday  :? By now it was about 7:30 and I knew by the time we went down and sorted it out, breakfast would probably be heaving. Luckily my mum had given us a packet of pain au chocolat the day before that we were going to eat on the train, but we had saved them so we just had them for breakfast instead :) We left our hotel room and made our way to get the shuttle to the parks.

When we got into the parks it must have been around 8:20 but Main St was still pretty empty. It was really a lovely morning, really sunny and warm :)

We walked through the castle and round to Fantasyland. We had a little look around the shop with the beanstalk and had a look around to see which rides we wanted to go on. I think Peter Pan had quite a short wait, and it's Mike's favourite ride so we went for that and basically walked on  :thumbs: I had completely forgotten how much I love this ride, all the lights underneath and around you are just lovely :) After that we walked around to Alice's Curious Labyrinth but it wasn't open yet, so we just hovered around for a little bit and took some photos. I think this was when we headed over to Discoveryland and I had my first ever ride on Buzz. Well, this is probably the most embarassing part of my trip report. I have no idea what I was doing wrong but I got an absolutely atrocious score of 900 when Mike got something like 15,000 ahahaha! We walked back over to Fantasyland to see that Alice's Curious Labyrinth was now open!

I love the maze but it did bring back some bad memories from when I got lost in it when I was younger! haha I went missing for about 15 minutes and my mum was panicking like crazy and my brothers and sister had to go up to the top of the tower to see if they could find me  :oops: but luckily this time I was okay ;)

It was about 9:20 now and we decided to head over to Adventureland. Pirates of the Caribbean had a 5 minute wait and we practically walked onto that too, it was lovely and cool inside too :') We then walked around Adventure Isle and up onto the rickety bridge, a lot smaller than I remember but I am a lot bigger now haha. Nevertheless, Mike was still a bit scared to go across ;) There were a group of kids rocking the bridge and one lady had to ask them to stop as she was carrying a child and they were getting a bit too wild.

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1712.jpg)


 After this we headed through Frontierland, down Main St and out of the parks to the Studios. It was about half 10 by now so we didn't expect the queues to be that great.

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1725.jpg)

We walked past Crush's Coaster which had about an 80 minute wait already, of course  :roll: We then walked round to Toy Story Playland as I've never been there before. As big toy story fans, Mike and I loved the theming of the area and the giant Buzz. I loved all the hanging lights and the giant toys :D We walked around a bit and saw that RC Racer had a 15 minute wait, and this looked like the kind of ride we'd rather go on as opposed to Slinky Dog and Parachute Drop, so we decided to go for it. We didn't queue for very long and I really loved the queue line with the little road :D We were both actually quite surprised by how scary this ride was!!

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1734.jpg)

We both really enjoyed the ride even if it did make our stomach flip when we first went backwards and upwards! We had a walk round the studios after getting a fastpass each for Tower of Terror. I have to say I much prefer the layout of things in the parks. It feels like everything has just been plonked down without much thought, just my opinion haha. We walked past the raining umbrella, but the rain wasn't working :( I had a photo with it anyway, but the next day we saw that the rain was working again but there was a huge crowd of people having their photo with it. :( We had a nice walk round using all the photo points.

Sorry for there being loads of photos of me, Mike took care of the stills camera whilst I used the video camera most of the time and he doesn't really like being in photos hahaha. Our fastpasses for Tower of Terror still weren't for a good few hours and everything in the studios had a long wait time so we decided to head back to the park. It was getting really hot now and our feet were starting to ache from walking all day yesterday up until 12AM and not having a lot of rest, so we decided we needed something to let us rest. It was about 11:30 so we decided to go on the Railroad. The queue time for Main St was about 45 minutes so we decided to walk down to Frontierland station in the hope that there would be a smaller queue. After  walking down there we saw that there was a 20 minute queue and barely anyone in the waiting area so we queued there. The train ride was a lot faster than I remembered or maybe just less in it haha. It was still a nice way to see the parks from a different perspective though :)
(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1742.jpg)

 We got off at Main St and we were quite hungry by now so we headed out to the village. We went to Earl of Sandwich again and I got the tuna melt and Mike had the Caribbean jerk chicken. They were both lovely, so much so that I forgot to take a photo  :lol:  By now it was time to go to Tower of Terror for our fastpass ride. We queued inside for about 5 or 10 minutes and then went inside to the library where I was already a bit scared! This was my first time on this ride and I really really enjoyed it, although it turned out to be the only ride of our trip as Mike didn't want to go on it again :/

By now our early start and late night had begun to catch up on us and our feet! We decided to go back to the hotel for a while to rest a bit, although we didn't want to waste any time whilst we were there, we figured that we'd rather rest for a while than wear ourselves out and feel miserable. It was really unbearably hot by now, so this made us feel a bit worse and run down. When we got back, Mike went to the petrol station to get another big drink and I went back to the room to soak my feet haha. We watched a bit of Disney channel and Mike had a power nap and we returned to the parks.

If I remember correctly, we went to Frontierland and went on BTM. I made sure I sat on the outside as I was so hot I wanted to get splashed haha! We then went through all the caves to see the waterfall and to try and keep cool. I'm really struggling to remember what we did next, I wish I had kept a diary! I think Star Tours had a small wait time so we went on that. We had a bit of a problem once we got into the loading area. Obviously we were all just going to walk straight in and go to the seats that were in our line, but once we started walking in, everyone just walked to wherever they wanted to and sat down :S This became a problem for us because everyone had a seat but me and  Mike :| A man at the back had sat down with a seat either side of him for some reason? The CM asked him to move but he began muttering something in french and I had no idea what they were saying :S The man refused to move and the CM asked if we wanted to just sit either side or wait for the next one. We decided just to wait because we wanted to enjoy it together really :( We didn't have to wait long  but I just don't understand why that man didn't move one seat along if he was alone  :-k

Nevertheless the ride was just as good as I remembered, Mike forgot to put his bag under his seat and because he was sitting at the end of the aisle at the very back, he had to just watch his bag roll down the gangway as the ride was going hahaha! After this we went into Videopolis to relax for a bit and watch some cartoons and pixar shorts :) They were playing 'Mike's new car' which is one of my favourites! :)

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1765.jpg)

It was about 8PM now so we decided to mooch around for a while and take in the atmosphere. We headed over to Fantasyland again and walked around then through to Adventureland.

It was around 8:30 now and if I remember correctly we had fastpasses for BTM yet again for about now, so we headed over there and started queueing. It wasn't quite dark yet but it was still a nice atmosphere for riding BTM. It was still hot out so it was also very refreshing to get splashed haha. Afterwards we wandered around for a while and had a look in a few shops before we headed to Main St and sat down to wait for Dreams. We sat to the left of the castle this night and it was a nice view, we couldn't see the fountain with Wendy on it very well but we could see the bottom of the castle and that was what I really wanted to see haha. We filmed it that night and Mike and I took turns to hold the camera so our arms didn't ache :') When I sort out the tapes from the video camera I may try posting some our videos from  our trip :)

Awhh thank you so much haha :) I never noticed how much we scrunch up our faces until you mentioned it, now I notice it alot in my photos haha :')

Nice report :-)

Very nice report! I read him with pleasure, and in one breath from beginning to end ... Great pictures! :)

Thank you for sharing.

I really enjoyed your report.

We are going in late August so really getting excited now.

Quote from: "ecila"Thank you! :)
Well we booked our trip through our travel agent and they gave us the form, we filled it out and then gave it back to our travel agent and they sent it to DLRP in order to confirm our booking :) Hope this helps, but I'm sure you can ring DLRP if you'd prefer and they could probably mail you the paperwork and you send it back :)

Thank your for your advice! Thing is, my parents are coming with us to France. They are going hiking in natural parks though. But they could come to the entrance of DLRP with us, I guess... but thank you very much for your advice, I might give DLRP a call just to be sure. Also, I love the second part of your trip report!! Pictures are awesome too!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments :) Sorry I've taken so long to do Day Three, been very busy lately!

DAY THREE - Friday 30th June

We remembered to get a breakfast pass the day before for this morning, so we woke up from a phone call from Mickey at about 7 and got ready for another day in the parks. We got to breakfast at about 7:30, so it wasn't too busy when we arrived. Breakfast was quite average but neither of us were feeling too hungry. I made the mistake of asking Mike to go up and get me some coffee, but luckily I moved some of the froth out of the way before drinking it and realising it was black, as he had just pressed the first button he saw that said 'coffee' instead of 'coffee with milk' haha :') Bless! Anyway, we decided to walk to the parks this morning as we had to go back to the room to get a raincoat just in case.

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1786.jpg)

We got into the park just after 8 and headed over to Fantasyland.  I really wanted to go on the Carousel so I had to practically beg Mike to let us go on! Hahah I had to persuade him to go on a horse aswell instead of a carriage haha O:)

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1788.jpg)

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1792.jpg)

It was still pretty empty at this point so we took this opportunity to have a photo in the Mad Hatter's Chair

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1794.jpg)

As usual Mike didn't want  a photo for some reason :(  :-k After this we went round and went on Peter Pan's Flight again as it had a tiny wait time :D We decided to walk round to Discoveryland just as it began to pour down with rain, there was thunder and everything! It was now nearly 9 so we decided to walk over to the Studios to queue, only to find the turnstiles had already opened and by the looks of things had been open for a while. We really wanted to go on Crush's Coaster but the queue was already ridiculously long. Looking back we really should have just queued but for some reason we didn't :( We never got to go on Crush in the end for our whole trip and that's one thing that I really do regret. Our feet hurt for most of the trip so we really didn't want to do any long waits. Oh well, I guess it's just a reason to go back to Disney again :) Fortunately, one of my old favourites, Flying Carpets over Agrabah had a five minute wait and only had about 3 people in the queue! I know it's only a simple ride but I've loved it ever since I was little and first went to DLRP. I remember it being my favourite because on that trip my mum bought me a Jasmine outfit and hat, and I use to wear it on this ride and pretend I was Jasmine :') hahaha!

We walked round the studios for a while and went to scream into the Monsters Inc scream monitors :D We had a look round Toy Story Playland too just as it stopped raining.

After this we walked round to Rock N Roller Coaster which said it had a five minute wait. We figured it would be a bit longer than 5 minutes as a lot of people had started rushing towards it. We actually queued for about 20 minutes but that was still fine with us :) I had missed this ride so much! This was the only time we went on it for our trip but it was so much fun :D

After this we wandered around a bit and saw that Art of Disney Animation only had a 5 minute wait. I remembered from my previous trips that I really enjoyed this so we went in.  The animation video with Mushu was in French so we had to listen through headphones but that wasn't a problem :) I love all of the artwork in there, especially the original designs for characters like Ursula and the Beast, it's weird thinking that such iconic characters might have looked completely different.

As we left we took a look at the mini statues outside of the disney characters. I took a few photos of some of them :)

It was about 1 now so we decided to go and have a big lunch and just have something small for dinner later. We decided to leave the Studios and go to Disney Village to have lunch at Annettes :) I ordered the mini incredible burger and I think Mike ordered the rockabilly burger. They were both delicious, mine was so big I couldn't manage to eat all of my chips!

After eating our massive lunch we were absolutely stuffed and decided now would be a good time to go back to the hotel for a rest. It was about 2 o clock about now, we walked back through the village and around the Lake, then had a half hour nap in our hotel room and we gave each other foot massages to try and ease the pain hahaha. After a good rest we decided to go back to the Studios. We saw people waiting around for Stars N Cars so we decided to wait in line for it too. I did enjoy this but I thought the cars actually went past quite fast! I tried to get some photos but have a good look at the same time which proved to be difficult! ahaha. I really loved the Little Mermaid car, the water effect on the side of the car is so good!

We tried to find something to go on after this but nearly everything had a long long queue by now. We decided we would try and get into the Studios early the next morning to try and go on anything else that we hadn't done by now :) So we decided to go back into the Parks :)

We decided to go and try to catch the Tarzan show in Frontierland. I had seen it before when I was about 6 but couldn't remember much. It was a lot better than I remembered! The gymnasts were amazing!

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1873.jpg)

We hadn't seen much of this side of Frontierland so we decided to walk down to Pocahontas' village and see BTM from a different perspective :)

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1874.jpg)

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1875.jpg)

If I remember correctly, we went to BTM to use some fastpasses we had picked up earlier. When I think about it we probably went on BTM a lot more than any other ride in the parks, mainly thanks to the fastpass :) Once we had finished riding BTM we thought we might as well pick up another fastpass for 10:30 to 11 as we thought it might be fun to ride in the dark, and if we tried to get on as soon as we could we might get back in time for the start of dreams and find a place at the back. We decided to go up to Phantom Manor after BTM and this ended up being one of the only half bad moments of our trip. Whilst our car was going past the Ballroom scene, they stopped for atleast 10/15 minutes. The lights came on and everything which sort of ruined the magic as you could see down onto the ballroom floor and see that it was simply a patchy concrete floor with some special effects :( But we kept a lighthearted attitude and really didn't mind too much but it was just  a bit of a shame!

After that little blip we decided to go back to the hotel for a little while to have a few snacks and a rest before Dreams later on. We ended up staying at the hotel for a little too long as we only got thre shuttle into the parks at about 10:20! We decided to pass on our BTM fastpass as we didn't think we'd make it in time, but we do have a nice souvenir fastpass ticket now ;) We went to try and find a place for Dreams but for some reason all the crowds this evening decided not to sit down but to stand up :( I wish people would think about these things because if everyone just sat down then nearly everyone would be able to see and they wouldn't need to lift their children up on their shoulders :/ Nevertheless, I took my SLR this evening to try and get some good photos, but I had started to wish I had taken it with me another night as this was by far our worst view. Dreams was amazing nonetheless, I felt so sad that this would be our last time seeing it on this trip :( The Hunchback, Tangled and Finale scenes all managed to make me cry as usual :') If you don't want to see any photos of Dreams then please, don't look in the spoiler! :)

After Dreams we walked back through the village again for a nice stroll by the lake and then back to our hotel room. We did some packing for the morning and got tucked up for our last night in DLRP.  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

Aw, I loved your trip report and all of your photos! We never went to Art of Animation before but it looks so good, it's now on my list for next time thanks to you :D

Ooh and I definitely agree about people standing up during Dreams, we got a great spot when we went but people kept standing on benches in front of us?! I understand that sometimes kids can't see but it does seem a bit unfair when there are other kids sitting down/standing normally whose views then get restricted even more :( It's when they stand on the flowerbeds and stuff that upsets me, I was like THAT'S A DISNEY FLOWERBED HOW DARE THEY STAND ON IT haha :(

Wonderful report and some great photos - thank you very much for sharing!

I can relate to the thing about trying BTM a lot more than any other because of the fast passes. Me and my friend always end up trying it 10+ times, because the fast pass system of this ride is so effective. And of course it is one of the best rides too :)

I completely agree regarding the Hunchback, Tangled and Finale of Dreams - I must say that I didn't expect to get tears in my eyes (I guess that would be the standard thought of any 22-year old), but I have no problem admitting that I did! When I bought my camera to take photos of it too, I also noticed the many people standing (suddenly)... You probably cannot prevent people from standing, but certainly from standing on benches and such!

And it's nice to see a photo trip report where you can actually see the people going - that is always something I miss in my own for instance :P

So yes, thank you for sharing! Seems like you two had a wonderful trip!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I have yet to install my last day of my trip report, I've been on holiday and been fiddling around with my video footage of our trip to DLRP :) Speaking of, I've made a video of our first day in DLRP which you can watch here:
[youtube:33352kh4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFSsDVe1dxE[/youtube:33352kh4]

You'll have to excuse our silly voices at some points, we sometimes get a bit silly around eachother :')
Hope you like it, it's my first time filming or editing so I've kept it quite simple haha :) Hopefully my last day will be up soon and I'll reply to all of your lovely comments! :)

Thank you! :) Oh good, some of the artwork in there is lovely and it's a nice rest from running around the studios :')

Oh I know, part of me was wishing that a CM or something would tell everyone to sit down haha, it makes so much more sense because you can see so much more, especially all the animations at the bottom of the castle at the entrance :( Ah well, just bad luck I suppose on the evening I decided to take photos of it :')

Yes! I think we used a fastpass for BTM nearly every time we went on but once, and it was so effective because towards the end of our trip the queues for it were getting huge :(

Oh I know haha, I got a bit choked up at the Hunchback scene and thought I'd be okay for the rest but as soon as the different Princess and Prince couples started dancing across the castle in the Tangled scene I just began to sob! haha

Thank you! I think next time I might ask someone nearby to take one of me and Mike together, as we did this more than a few times for other people but completely forgot about ourselves! haha and thank you very much, we had a lovely trip, stay tuned for day four! :)

What an fantastic video! I cannot wait to see the other days - again as before, amazing photos and report. Glad you guys had a really nice time. =D

DAY FOUR - Saturday 30th June

We awoke from a phone call from Mickey, and feeling sad and tired, we packed the rest of our belongings into our suitcase and had a quick breakfast in our room to save time. We said farewell to our lovely room and strolled down to reception to drop off our room key and luggage. On our way to Disneyland Park we scowled at the train station, feeling utterly bitter that we would be returning there late in the day. But we still had around 9 hours left in the parks to look forward to!

We arrived in Main St around 8:30 and had a slow stroll down

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1882.jpg)

Another lovely sunny morning! We headed straight for Fantasyland through the castle, and noticed there were barely any people around Excalibur so we decided to take this opportunity to finally get a photo.

We went towards Peter Pan's Flight as it had a tiny wait time, and I enjoyed it more than ever knowing that it was probably the last time we would ride it on this trip. We knew that because it was a Saturday the parks were going to be a bit busier, and as we had no success with Crush's Coaster the previous days we decided we should get to the Studios early again. But once again we had no luck with the queue time, it was still around 80 minutes and we're not big fans of queuing for ages. We decided to go and try to get ahead on all the other queues so we walked round to the Studios Tour. We were some of the first in a group of people queuing around the entrance, waiting for the CM to let us go in to queue. While waiting I noticed that Tower of Terror barely had anyone queuing, and I would have rather gone on that, but Mike said he didn't want to go on again.

The studio tour was just as I remembered really, but it was still nice to relax and go on it as we barely queued for 10 minutes. After this we wandered around for a while and tried to see which rides had the smallest queues, but everything had got pretty busy while we had been on the ride. We walked round to see what the Rock n Roller Coaster queue was like but as I remember it was pretty big as we opted for Armageddon instead. The queue time said 15 minutes but we must have waited for a lot longer than that, as for ages we were the first people waiting behind the turnstile for the group of people in front of us to walk into the ride. We waited for ages there, then once we got into the queuing area we waited for probably another fifteen minutes. Our feet were so sore that this made us a bit miserable but I was quite anxious to go on the ride, as I have very few memories of it but I remember crying my eyes out last time I went on it! Needless to say I wasn't surprised I had cried, it was absolutely terrifying even to me now! I think I may have screamed aloud at one point!

We looked at the time and realised that they were just about to let people in for the 11:30 showing of Cinemagique, so we went ahead and were some of the first people in.  The cinema was so lovely and huge! We sat right in the middle and really enjoyed the show, especially the new additions that they've put in, it was so clever :) I definitely recommend it for a little break and a sit down.

After this we said goodbye to the Studios and headed back to Disneyland Park. We were sure that everything was going to be really busy but we just decided to go for it and maybe do a bit of shopping. We walked over to Discoveryland and saw that Orbitron only had a 20 minute wait and as we hadn't been on it yet. I thought it was so cool that they gave you little flight passes even if you only got to hold them for about 10 seconds before giving them back :')

We were feeling quite peckish after this so we decided for lunch today we were going to eat at Cafe Hyperion, after sitting in there watching cartoons all week we thought it might be nice to actually eat in there properly. We both had the chicken burger and chips with a coke, and I really enjoyed it. I thought it wouldn't fill me up but it really did, I could barely finish it! Whilst eating we had a bit of a unfortunate moment where Mike was facing a family sitting behind us, and apparently this child was staring Mike in the eyes before his mum put a cup under his mouth and he was sick into it and then they just wandered off as if nothing had happened. Mike was trying not to laugh and I had no idea what was going on, i do feel bad for the little kid but I think Mike was just laughing that he had been looking straight at him and then decided to be sick hahaha.

We then walked round to Fantasyland and we saw Pluto on our way through! We noticed that on Saturday we saw waaay more characters than we had seen through the whole week. We hadn't really seen any characters walking around this week but on Saturday we saw loads in fantasyland but they all had giant crowds around them.

(//http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z304/black_hearts_/100_1891.jpg)

We decided that we wanted to try and see if we could make BTM our last big ride of the trip so we went to see if we could get a fastpass, and at this point I think it was for 3:30 til 4:00. We queued for about 15 minutes until we were near the front and suddenly the machines stopped working. I don't know what was going on but a CM was just standing talking to one person in french and everyone else just stood behind the machines waiting for them to work. After about another 10 minutes everyone including us just gave up and left. We walked around to get Mike a pretzel and sat down to chill for a while before doing some shopping down Main St.

We also noticed that on this day the Anniversary train was coming up and down Main St quite frequently, which was nice because we got to enjoy the song again and again haha. We did some shopping around Main St and then walked over to Frontierland to look in a few shops there. I got a few postcards, a Belle figurine, an Ariel pen, a 20th Anniversary snowglobe and some sweets for my family. Mike didn't buy anything for some reason, he's not really a souvenir kinda guy :( After looking around the Frontierland shops we noticed the BTM fastpass was working now but the time was for around 6pm :(

I wasn't sure how much time we had left in the park so i asked Mike and he told me it was 3:30, which left us with a bit more time as we were going to leave the Parks at 5pm. We noticed the riverboat had a 15 minute wait and decided to start queuing. After about 10 minutes of waiting and the boat was just about to let everyone off,  Mike turned and said to me, "Are you sure we have enough time to go on this?" and I looked at him confused and explained that we were leaving at 5pm and he said "Yeah and it's quarter to five". He hadn't set his time forward on his phone and had told me the English time by mistake :') Luckily we left the landing and went to sit by Plaza Gardens and look at the castle for the last time. I was a bit disappointed that we had wasted that time queuing but it was quite funny :')

We slowly made our way down Main St as I fought back crying :( We said goodbye to the castle and said we'd be back soon :( I fought back the tears the whole train ride home, but I was quite thankful that I would actually get some rest. All in all we had an absolutely lovely trip and can't wait to go back. Mike and I are already planning our next trip and we now have a whole list of things to remember and make sure we do on our next trip :)

Thank you everyone for reading, and I'll be posting the next few videos I upload onto here :)

Day Three of our time in DLP is now up on youtube:

Hi, Ive loved watching/reading your trip report,you look so fun together!  I was wondering with the wake up call from Mickey Mouse do you request a call at reception or do you do it from the phone in your room?  Can't believe i'm almost on my 30th trip and never knew about this-gutted!

How come I didn't notice a new update to this report AND some videos??

Well the end to the report was as lovely as the first three days and some good photos. I recall many of the thoughts of the last day - especially the thing about wasting time! On my latest trip I couldn't help but thinking that we wasted the time in the  last hours, but then again you don't want to miss your bus (train for you)... And the fight against tears - 22-year old man and I never remember facing a tougher battle as on my latest trip. They were literally seconds from breaking through!

A shame you didn't get to try Crush.. When did you go to the Studios if it was already 80 minutes?? :O

I'll have to watch these videos once I have some more time!

Thanks for sharing :D Already looking forward to a new report from your next trip!

Hahah we did have a lot of fun :) As far as I can remember there's a button on your phone at the bottom right, which you press and type in your alarm time, for instance for 7AM i think we dialled 0700 :)

Thank you very much! I'm not quite sure what time we went into the Studios but I remember we really did try to get there early and most days we tried to get there around 9:30ish only to find it was already open and had large queues :(

Hopefully if I can save up in time we might go again in February and I presume the park will be less busy and we'll manage to try Crush :') And of course another trip report will follow! Thank you for reading!  :-D

Ahh yes, the queue quickly grows into the extremes! I hope you get to try it next time - I'm already looking forward to another report :)
