Hi everyone,
Im soooo excited and with 10 days to go and only packing left to do thought now would be a good time to start my pre-trip report :D
Going on the trip are:
Me: Kelly (34)
DS: Dylan (11)
We are travelling on the Eurostar on Friday 22nd Oct and staying in the Hotel New York (a complete surprise to Dylan, he thinks we are staying in the Cheyenne).
We have tickets to Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party on 22nd October. We are both dressing up, I have got a Minnie Mouse dress and I have made Dylan a Dr Facilier outfit :thumbs:

Dylan in his outfit (although yesterday at school can you believe he had an accident and has cut and bruised his cheek-looks like he has got face paints on for halloween already!!)
We have pre-booked our restaurants for the trip:
Friday: Parkside Diner
Saturday: Plaza Gardens
Sunday: Cafe Mickey
Monday: Walts
Tuesday: Lucky Nugget
We are hoping to do lots of rides we have missed in previous trips- Phantom Manor, Crush's Coaster, ToT (maybe) and Toy Story Playland.

Have got a few more bits to go in but this is the majority of Dylan's surprise goodie bag for the train!
We received our shareholders club membership card last month so also looking forward to going to Salon Mickey for the first time too! :D/
It's the first time we have been for Halloween so really looking forward to seeing the trick or treat part of the parade and all of the extra's going on in the park :pumpkin: :maleficent_bounce: :pumpkin:
Well we are off tomorrow so look forward to telling everyone about it next week x
Have lots of fun! Look forward to reading the full report on your return. That Dr. Facilier outfit is excellent. Where did you get the fabric for the jacket from? And also, what is Salon Mickey? Something to do with shareholder's, I gathered that much, but what exactly?
Have fun!!
Can't wait to read your post-trip report!!! :D
Hope you have a great time!
I'll be looking foward to reading your trip report when you return :)
Have a great time! The Dr Facilier outfit is incredible, by the way!
Have fun Kelly :)
hope you have a great trip
We are back from the most AMAZING Disney trip! :D
I will try and start my trip report tonight and upload some of the 500 photos i have taken :oops:
Hope you both had a good time Kelly :)
I cannot wait to read yout trip report!!!
looking forward to reading your report, it was nice to meet you and Dylan,
Lynne
Quote from: "bensmum"looking forward to reading your report, it was nice to meet you and Dylan,
Lynne
and you Lynne, hope you enjoyed your last day! Shame we didnt meet you earlier! I havent started the report yet as we had to take one of our guinea pigs to the emergency vet last night, they think he had meningitis and had to be put to sleep so Dylans emotions went from a complete high from our holiday to all time low last night! He cried himself to sleep bless him!
It was such a fantastic holiday though, Dylan absolutely loved it, said it was the best holiday ever! I think most of that is down to Dr Facilier who was absolutely amazing and has left a lasting impression on Dylan.
DAY ONE
Dylan had been looking forward to our first Disney Halloween since i booked back in June and we both had a bit of a restless night! I was up at 5.30 making sure everything was ready and woke dylan at 6.45 ready to get the train to Kings cross at 8am.
We arrived at St Pancras and was all checked in by 8.45 so had an hour to wait -which seemed like a lifetime! We sat behind a couple of children from Dylans school on the way there which was funny as we didnt know the other was going!
We arrived at the magic just after 1.30pm and Dylan wanted to head straight for Phantom Manor to see the Villains.

Well the first person we saw was Dr Facilier, who was amazing and made Dylans holiday the most memorable ever.
Dylan told him he was coming dressed as him for the Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party later that night and he was genuinely impresssed and told Dylan to have a great evening! It was at this point Dylan told me this was going to be the best holiday EVER, and we had only been in Disney half an hour!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020322.jpg)
We also met Jafar outside Phantom Manor
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020324.jpg)
We then had a wander round Frontierland, looking at all the Halloween decorations and just taking in the atmosphere!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020321.jpg)

(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020319.jpg)
We left the park at around 3pm and went over to the studios to have around Toy Story Playland. All the queues were at least 30 minutes and as we had MNSSHP that eve we didnt want to waste too much time queueing so just went on the flying carpets and cars in the Studios.
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020576.jpg)
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020583.jpg)
We arrived at the Hotel New York and Dylan was bursting with excitement, he thought we were just eating there and when we got to our room he began jumping on the bed saying it was the BEST hotel he had ever stayed in!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020389.jpg)

(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020385.jpg)
We had dinner in the Parkside Diner, which to be honest wasn't all that and I definately wouldn't eat there again.
We then went back up to our room to get ready for the party, with Dylan showing me his Dr Facilier pose!

UP NEXT MICKEYS NOT SO SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY....
Love Dylan's costume!! Looking forward to the rest, great report so far :D
Dylan is beautiful and nice posing as Dr Facilier, very nice! Congratulations.
But continues with the story, please
Sorry to hear about your pet, :( such a downer after a lovely holiday. I was wishing we had met earlier as well. Ben was exhausted by the Monday and I couldn't get him to the Parks..turned out he was coming down with bad cold :roll: Loving the photos and the report so far, Lynne.
Dylan seems completely surprised by everything!! Can't wait to read the rest :)
MICKEY'S NOT SO SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY 22/10/10
We got to the park around 7pm and went to the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor to get our wristbands. Dylan wanted to head straight over to Frontierland to show Dr Facilier his outfit.
As we walked over we saw Malificent, who Dylan had never seen in the park before and wanted to get her autograph but realised he had left his book back in the hotel :(
We decided we would go and buy another one but before we had gone anywhere Malificent had come over to see "The Doctor". She said he loved his outfit and Dylan had his photo taken with her!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020416.jpg)
We then went to get Dylan a new book and when we came back to Frontierland saw Donald and Daisy Duck
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020419.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020418.jpg)
We decided to hang around Frontierland for a while just in case we saw Dr Facilier and Cruella suddenly appeared from behind the Lucky Nugget and came straight over to Dylan and asked to sign his book.
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020420.jpg)
Now I had brought Dylan a change of clothes because I thought after an hour of wearing his outfit he would want to get changed but he said "No way, the villains love me and I love the attention" and to be fair he did get alot of character interaction through wearing the costume, everyone loved it especially Anastasia,one of the ugly sisters, who asked Dylan if she could be his girlfriend and then dragged him over to her mother to see if she approved! Which she didnt because he was too young! It was so funny to watch and went on for a good ten minutes!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020443.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020440.jpg)
We still hadn't seen Dr Facilier at this point so we went on a few rides and said we would try again later.
Big Thunder Mountain in the dark was amazing, I'm not sure if its because we hadn't been on it for a while but it seemed to go much, much faster!! Dylan loved it!
We then went on the carousel and the tea cups and watched the Merlin show.
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020439.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020436.jpg)
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020872.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020462.jpg)
We then watched the Halloween show at Central Plaza but my camera wasnt great at taking photos in the dark so didnt take many pictures!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020500.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020522.jpg)
We went back to Frontierland and still no Dr Facilier, Dylan was really disappointed as we hadn't seen him all evening so I said maybe he could wear his outfit again in the morning just to go and show him ;)
We saw lots more characters, which was Dylans favourite part of the evening I think
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020533.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020469.jpg)

At 11.15 it was time for the Not So Scary Calvacade so we walked over to Main Street to get a good spot (photos weren't great again in the dark so I didn't take many)
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020545.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020546.jpg)
Dylan was really impressed as the pumpkin man carrying the banner reconised him from earlier in the evening and gave him a thumbs up and Malificent came over and said "Hello again Doctor". He was so chuffed that they had reconised him and after a great evening we headed back to our hotel.
Sounds like you had a wondeful time - such a shame that Dylan didn't get to show off his outfit to Dr Facilier, though. I'm sure he would have been very impressed. Can't wait to read more!

Don't worry he did get to show him and he was very impressed! Will tell you more about that when I write the next instalment ;)
can't wait to read the rest of your report........sadly didnt spot anyone off the forum including yourself and Dylan who were in the same hotel :(
going to post my report soon :)
awwww looks like you both had a fantastic time and i love dylans outfit and so did all the other villians! cant wait to read more!
I cannot wait to read the rest. Dylan seems overwhelmed by the magic!
DAY TWO -SATURDAY 23/10/10
After a late night at MNSSHP the night before I had booked a character breakfast in Cafe Mickey for 9.30am. To be honest I dont really like any of the hot food anyway so the actual breakfast was no different for me but Dylan enjoyed it. We saw Mickey, Eeyore, Goofy & Gideon
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020571.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020570.jpg)
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020567.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/Halloween%20at%20Disneyland%20Paris/P1020565.jpg)
We didn't stay in cafe Mickey for very long as dylan was desperate to go back to the room to get his costume on as I had promised him he could go and show dr.Facilier today! (He is like an elephant-never forgets) He was a bit gutted though as he lost the tooth necklace on Big Thunder Mountain at MNSSHP :(
We knew the villains were out near Phantom Manor so it was just a case of waiting to see who came out!! We only had to wait about 5 mins and there he was! Dylan went straight over to him and he absolutely loved his costume, asking him lots of questions about the outfit and if he enjoyed MNSSHP the night before, what rides he went on and that people had said they saw him wearing the outfit-he was absolutely brilliant! Dylan was even more impressed when he wrote "To my shadow boy" in his autograph book!!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020585.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020586.jpg)
(Now when you look at the photos don't pay too much attention to the back of the jacket ;) The swirls were taking about 20 minutes each one to do and after a few days of painting swirls and using a hairdryer to make sure they were dry and didn't smudge i figured no-one would see the back :oops: )
After Dylan's lovely chat with Dr Facilier we decided to head over to Woody's Roundup Village. It had started to rain at this point but wasnt too heavy and we had our ponchos with us.
Dylan stopped to do some posing with the pumpkins!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020588.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020587.jpg)
and we also caught Jack and Sally on the way too!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020593.jpg)
When we got to Woody's roundup there wasn't much of a queue so we waited and saw Pluto, Goofy, Mickey, Minnie, Woody & Jessie
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020594.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020606.jpg)
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020599.jpg)
And of course Dylan couldn't resist some more posing!!!!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020604.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020603.jpg)

We then watched Showtime Spectacular for the first time, Dylan enjoyed it, I thought it was great, especially the music! And Dylan must have enjoyed it more than he made out because he kept on doing a stitch impression saying "Stitch's new friends The Incredibles" which is in the show (he was actually very good at it too)
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020644.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020657.jpg)

We watched the Once Upon A Dream Parade-we have seen this many times but was nice to have the Dreams Of Trick Or Treat at the end :D
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020659.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/P1020660.jpg)

(I did get some better pictures of the parade on our last day so will upload those too when I get to Thursday)
We ate in Plaza Gardens, one of Dylans favourite places to eat, which was nice and much better than Parkside Diner, went on a few rides and then back to the hotel at around 9pm.
SUNDAY 24/10/10 COMING SOON....
Enjoying your report so far, great pics looks like you had a great time!
Any sign of Maleficent in the OUADP? Thought she was returning for Halloween :-k

She wasn't in the OUADP but i think she was doing the Halloween Fantillusion Parade :D
Ace reports so far. Keep them uo :-)
Enjoying the report & glad you enjoyed the halloween season. :thumbs:
We were there the week before you, and took in the party on the 15th, it's become one of our regular times to visit throughout the year.
The park was very quiet during that week, and we never once needed to use our fastpasses. TSPL waits were no longer than 15mins, less than 30 for crush & 10 to 15 mins for any ride in the disney park, How was it for you?

It was our first Halloween so expected it to be very busy and it certainly was. TSPL waits were all over 30 mins even slinky dog! Crush 75 mins, ToT 45 mins and no better in Disneyland Park unfortunately. Dylan loved it though and we are deciding whether to do summer season for the first time next year or Halloween again :D
looks great i sooooo cannot wait to go!

DAY THREE - SUNDAY 24/10/10
We were supposed to be going for breakfast at 7.30 today so as to make the most of EMH but Dylan was shattered and we made it down at about 8.15 in the end :oops: On the way out we saw Pluto.
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020704.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020702.jpg)
We then headed to DLP and went on Buzz, Peter Pan, The Teacups and Dumbos before the crowds came ;)
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020715.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020722.jpg)

I had received my Shareholders membership card in August so we decided today we would try Salon Mickey :thumbs: We were a bit distracted on the way by lots of characters.......
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020740.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020741.jpg)

And eventually got to Salon Mickey just before 11am. Dylan liked it, he had a nice biscuit and hot chocolate and I had a coffee and Biscuit. It was nice and quiet and we stayed for about 1/2 hour.
Just after we left Salon Mickey we watched the All Stars Express Train go by and went to get in the queue for Winnie The Pooh, which took about 20 mins.

We then went on It's A Small World
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020760.jpg)
and saw a couple of characters on the way...

and through The Christmas Village to Casey Junior.
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020767.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020768.jpg)
Today was the first time we had seen Casey Junior open and decided we would queue just so that we have been on it once. It was about a 20 minute queue and Dylan thought the ride was a bit boring :-"
We had a quick walk round Alice's Curious Labyrinth

And then found a spot for the Villains Halloween show at Central Plaza.

Dylan enjoyed the show but said he would liked it to have been "his" Dr Facilier not "the fake"! (on a few occasions we went over to frontierland becauase Dylan wanted to say hi to Dr Facilier but when he saw it was a different one he would say "no it's only the fake lets not bother" so funny :D
We saw Chip and Dale in their Halloween outfits
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020759.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020757.jpg)
And done a few more rides, Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates Of The Carribean and we also done Phantom Manor for the first time. We had never done it before because Dylan isn't keen on the dark and always assumed it was scary! I had convinced him before we left that it wasnt scary at all and he said he would give it a try. His face was a picture when we get in the first room and the walls started moving :-" Then when the lights went off he gripped my hand and didn't let go! and I dont think it helped that the cast member in the room had taken a shine to him and hovered around him and tapped him on the shoulder :lol: But he enjoyed it in the end!
Dylan wanted to see Jack Skellington before we left the Park, who he was very impressed with because he asked him his name and wrote "To Dylan" in his autograph book and told him to do a scary pose!

We left the park just before 6pm as we had dinner booked in Cafe Mickey for 7pm. When we got back I left Dylan sorting out his lanyard and pins while I had a quick shower and when I came out I found him fast asleep on the bed!!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/halloween%2024th%20oct/P1020880.jpg)
I managed to wake him up just before 7pm and we rushed over for dinner.
We had a lovely meal and saw lots of characters - Captain Hook even fed Dylan his ice cream!

We also saw Lynne & Ben (forum member Bensmum) which was lovely but also a shame as they were leaving the next day and would have been nice to meet up with them another time :(
After a lovely dinner we headed off to the Disney Village for a bit of shopping and eventually went back to our hotel at about 10pm. We had breakfast arranged for 7.30am and thought after Dylan falling asleep we would change it with reception for a bit later so he could have a lie-in :thumbs:

Quote from: "i love main st"hi kelly ...really enjoying your report makes me want to go back.....i saw you at the party , i would have spoke,but we were having our photo taken with mickey at the time..well i presume it was you,i saw dylan in his costume.. and a lady behind him with minnie ears and a black coat , but didnt see you the rest off the night...but looking at your photos we must have been yards away from each other but on the other side off the street for the cavalcade , my daughter was dressed as ursula and son as wizard mickey , i was maleficent and hubby captain jack , just incase you saw us...it was a good night wasnt it, absolutly frezzing, but good..and the weather on the sat night,,haha..we were just queing for small world when the heavens opened...i love thunder and lightning , so stood watching it in my favorite place was for me fantastic...
Ah what a shame! I think I may have seen you because I remember pointing out someone dressed as Maleficent to Dylan and you definately saw us then :D Will have to look at the other calvacade photos & see if i can see you :D
We had such an amazing time and I had totally forgotten about the thunder and lightning!
I can't believe only a week ago we were still there! We are going back for christmas ( which Dylan doesnt know about) which means the holiday blues I had when we got back have disappeared as I know we are going again in a few weeks :D
I'm loving your trip report! Dylan seems to be having sooo much fun, and the character interaction is great :) And WOW that Dr Facilier outfit is amazing, bravo to you
We're off to HNY this weekend so it's great to read a TR of someone who stayed there.
Can't wait for the rest, thanks for sharing.

We loved the HNY, Dylan said it's the best hotel he has EVER stayed in! We didn't have a room with a view or anything but that wasn't a problem. The rooms are nice and big and we didn't have any noise either.
Hope you have a great trip xx
Thanks for the updates.
It seems you used the balcony behind the sitting area of the castle stage to make the parade pictures. We used it during our visits as well.
Quote from: "dagobert"Thanks for the updates.

We have always used that balcony as people cant push you out of the way like they do everywhere else! We decided to stand on Main street on our last day, got a spot 45 mins beforehand and by the time the parade came I was standing behind Dylan! People are so rude, Definately wont make that mistake again and should have known better really!
sounds like you had so much fun!i have never been to MNSSHP before but i would love to try and get there one time... =] i cant wait to go on my trip now! its getting ever closer =]

It was fantastic Swipes, if you can go it's definately worth doing :D
Not long for you now, under 3 months, It will fly by, especially with christmas in between :thumbs:
MONDAY 25/10/10
We went down for breakfast at 9am, later than most days as Dylan was so tired! We saw Launchpad on the way out and although Dylan had no idea who he was had a quick photo!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1020905.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1020904.jpg)
We then went to the park for the last 30 mins of EMH and went on Peter pan and the Dumbos as there were no queues.
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1020909.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1020913.jpg)

At 10am we went over to Walt Disney Studios. We wanted to try the rides in Toy Story Playland but RC Racer had a 45min queue, Slinky dog was 30 minutes and the Parachutes hadn't opened. The area for the parachutes was roped off with a few people waiting so we thought we would hang around until it opened! Well we shouldnt have bothered really as it turned out there was a problem and after 15 minutes deciding to leave it.
We wandered round to Studio Tram Tour which only had a 10 minute wait and we got on the 2nd tram which was good. We have been on the tram tour a couple of times but this time the effects seemed to be much better (wont say more than that just in case you havent been on it before) ;)
We didnt spend much time in the studios as the rides seemed to have such long queues. ToT was 45 mins, Crush 75 mins and although Dylan wanted to do both he said he didnt want to waste a couple of hours queueing for 2 rides (which i was fine with as i dread the day there is no queue and i have to do them!!! :oops: )
Dylan had a few photos with Mickey Mouse and Stitch
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1020935.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1020937.jpg)

And then we headed back to Disneyland Park
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1030006.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1030007.jpg)
We got a nice spot for the Villains Halloween show today

We went round to Discoveryland to see the new WALLE-E statue and Dylan wanted to get a toffee apple as they had all sold out yesterday :(
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1020953.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1020955.jpg)
We also saw some characters in Discoveryland (Dylan said they are RARE because of the outfits :lol: )
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1020957.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1020958.jpg)

Although we didnt see Darth Vader or Chewbacca who also were apparantly about over the weekend :(
And just before 5 we went for Dinner at Walts. We had a nice table by the window and Dylan loved watching the parade go past whilst eating his dinner. He wasnt very keen on the menu as there was only a few choices but decided on the breaded fish and said it was lovely :D My steak was lovely too and the puddings were delicious :D
We stayed in the park until around 9pm again tonight
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1030008.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1030023.jpg)

And then went back to our hotel and took a drink from the bar up to our room :thumbs:
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1030037.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/251010/P1030038.jpg)
I told Dylan to make sure he enjoyed his 8 Euro drink!!! :shock:

Not for christmas! ;) How i have kept it a secret i dont know but i have made up a sort of invitation that i am going to give him as an early christmas present along with the Eurostar tickets! I cant wait to see his face :D
He knows we are going in february as we are taking my mum with us for her first time so i have kept the suitcases out and have that trip as an excuse ;)
TUESDAY 26/10/10
Well today was our last day!!! :cry: :cry:
We had a late breakfast again at around 9am, dropped our bags off with the luggage room and headed to the park.
The first thing Dylan wanted to do was go to Town Square Photography to get the picture of him with Dr Facilier in his outfit printed off so that he could give it to him.
As MNSSHP was on again tonight everything in the park was on an hour earlier so we queued to see MIckey Mouse at 10am
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030053.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030055.jpg)
After meeting Mickey we saw the character train leaving and as we approaced Central Plaza it was just stopping and Dylan had a phot with Mr & Mrs Incredible.
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030056.jpg)
We then headed off to Frontierland
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030079.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030080.jpg)
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030082.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030083.jpg)
When we got to Phantom Manor Jafar was already out so we knew there was a good chance Dr Facilier would be out soon but it meant we would have to wait to see which one it was (There was only one in Dylans eyes!)
And then out came Dylans Dr Facilier :D He was absolutely great! Came straight over to Dylan and said hi and asked him how he was! Dylan told him he had brought him a photo and he was really impressed with it :thumbs:
He said to Dylan that if he arrived on Friday we must be leaving soon & Dylan told him today was our last day :(
He then told Dylan to come with him up to the cemetary and on the way was telling the pumpkin people "This is Dylan, did you see his halloween costume? we are going to the cemetary" He was absolutely brilliant and made Dylan feel really special! He asked Dylan if he had seen the Princess & The frog film and if he knew what happened at the cemetary (luckily he had seen it and did know what happened). He spent alot of time chatting to Dylan about general things and when we got to the cemetary he told Dylan how to pose and had a few photos :D
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030063.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030064.jpg)
He was absoultely Brilliant and after a few photos and a long chat he said it was nice to meet us & he hoped we enjoyed our last day and that he better go back! Dylan promptly said that Dr Facilier was the BEST character in Disneyland and that he wanted to come next year for Halloween to see him again!
He was truly amazing and really made Dylans holiday the most memorable ever :thumbs:
We then went on the Mark Twain, something else we have never done, which was nice
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030100.jpg)
And when we came back saw Maleficent and Prince John
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030101.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030103.jpg)
We headed back towards Fantasyland for a quick wander around as we had lunch booked for 1.30pm and saw a few more characters
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030092.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030091.jpg)

(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030072.jpg)
We had lunch in The Lucky Nugget. Now we go to the lucky nugget on the last day of every trip as we have half board vouchers and it covers the cost of the character meal, and every time i say we wont bother doing it again! This trip was no different, food wasnt all that and we really wont do it again. We did get to see a few characters but it was nothing great!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030097.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030099.jpg)
We didnt do much after lunch and just after 3pm found a nice spot on Main Street to watch the parade! By the time the parade came it wasnt a good spot at all, i had to stand behind Dylan in the end as so many people were pushing and shoving! It was a bit of a joke! The Parade came from the opposite direction today too which was unexpected!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030121.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030123.jpg)

(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030138.jpg)
And i couldn't resist taking a photo of the volume of people after the parade
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030140.jpg)
The posters were about for MNSSHP tonight and Dylan was gutted that we couldnt stay for an extra night and do it all again as he had so much fun :(
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030113.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030115.jpg)
We knew we had to leave the park just after 6 to go and get our bags fromn the Disney Express counter and Dylan wanted to spend his last hour or so in the studios.
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030155.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030141.jpg)
We had a quick photo with Buzz and then went to see what the queues were like in Toy Story Playland
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030147.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030149.jpg)
All 3 rides had long queues, RC Racer and Parachutes both 45 mins and Slinky Dog 30 mins. I told Dylan the slinky Dog didnt look like a 30 minute queue and as we still had an hour til we needed to leave we queued and was on the ride within 15 minutes!
(//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030152.jpg) (//http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss320/kellydylan/261010/P1030153.jpg)
We then went and had a look round the shops and Dylan brought a few pins and i got a nice photo frame! Dylan also saw a man in the shop had a lovely Kelly pin on his lanyard. It was in a heart shape with 3 princesses on it and Kelly underneath :D He was so pleased with himself when the cast member agreed to trade it with him and gave it to me as a present, bless him!
By now it was time to leave and we wandered over to get our bags and check in opened at 6.15pm
Dylan was really upset to be going home, I was too but I know its not long and we will be back to the magic ;)
Our trip was fantastic, definately the best so far and we met some lovely cast members!

Ah thank you, I know everyone says Halloween at DLP is fab but it by far exceeded our expectations and Dylan loved it :D
awwww what a fantastic trip you both had, what a lucky boy.
sounds like you had such a good holiday, and that was a great trip report =] and that CM who was Dr Facilier, he must have been jsut oozing that disney magic that keeps us all going back for more, especially since he was so fantastic with dylan! i hope hes still there in feburary when i go.... i am in love with the princess and the frog atm.... but something tells me he will probably only be around during the halloween season which is a shame becasue he seems so fantastic at what he does! =/

Dr Facilier is only there during Halloween which is such a shame because you are spot on he was oozing in the Disney magic!
I had already said, is a beautiful story.
We hope that the next holiday to Disneyland Paris, you will enjoy even more.
Ciao, ciao.

blimy! ur so lucky, three trips in three months! wowzer!!! great pictures! you have to learn to get in some yourself! lol! Dr Facilier really did go all out i have to say! We had a great Goofy last year! Me and my friend were sat on the wall by ToT eatin our sandwiches and he appeared out of nowhere, he let us both have pics seperate with him and hugs even tho the kids had spotted him and started to decend!! i think the person inside was prob a guy and took a shine to the two blondes in Minnie ears!! lol !
Im going in 12 days, cannot wait! seeing recent peoples pics makes it all the more exciting, just had my hair done and was saying to the hairdresser that a disney holiday is the most you will ever be photographed so u have to look good!! lol
Have a great xmas trip Kelly!!

Dylan and I usually go to football every week, last year we done both home and away games with spurs which costs a fortune! I told Dylan if we cut back on football we can go on a couple of holidays this year :)
hope you have a great Xmas trip too! Are you going to do a report? Would be great to see some Xmas photos xx
not a bad incentive for cutting footie i have to say!!
Im gettin a bug for peoples trip reports so might do one, im still off from work when we get back so might make time! My memory is terrible so might not write much but knowing me and my clan there shall be some highly amusing photos to behold!! x
Brilliant trip report, and wonderful photos. =D> I am so jealous that you are going back so soon and then again early next year, wishing it was me. Hope you have a lovely time. I have to agree about halloween being so much better than expected, I didn't know what to expect but it was great.We will definately be going back.
