Hi guys!! Just come back from another fabulous holiday at DLRP! It was my very first time going in Disney's Christmas Season so I was very much looking forward to it! My family and I had a great time although it was absoutely freeezing :? :D
We caught the direct Eurostar to Marne-Le-Vallee from Ashford at 9.13am and arrived at 12.30! We did have a little trouble as the company we booked with did not give our booking identification codes over to the Eurostar castmembers so we had to pick our pack up from the Disney Express! We didn't have park tickets for the 15th so we spent the day in the Disney village, shopping and dining!!
We stayed at our favourite hotel-Cheyenne!! Which was great once we over came a minor complication...when we tried to open our hotel room a man walked out with a paintbrush!! however this was quickly sorted out and we were allocated another room!
It was a holiday of 1st's this year even though we have been 5 times! I saw the Legend of the Lion King for the 1st time, which is just magical as well as Mickey's Winter Wonderland.
I am pleased to report that 'old Joe' is back where he should be and the Swinging Pirate is back on POTC!!
I will let my pics tell the story...but they are not very good as my camera and camcorder decided to break...typical :x :evil: :( :evil:
