Title: True- Life Adventures in Disneyland Paris November 2015
Post by: True-lifeadventures on December 27, 2015, 01:51:19 PM
Hey everyone.
I hope I'm not mis-posting putting these here so if I need to move them to Inventions I'll happily do so.

We went to DLP in November this year (2015) and made daily Vlogs that are now up on are Youtube channel (click on the image in our signature). I wanted to post them here to show you all.
We were traveling with my girlfriend's family that consisted on 10 people and aged from 5 to 90!! it was pretty awesome to experience the parks with that age range of people. We tried not to include them in the Vlogs as much as possible because just because we like pointing cameras at ourselves and putting it online, doesn't mean they want us to!

Anyway here's day 1. I'll post the others up over the next few days so they read like Trip Reports.

Let us know what you think? We're going back in a couple weeks time and hopefully we'll be a lot better at filming by then!

Thank you for posting your vlog! I enjoyed watching and look forward to seeing the rest of it.
Your granny looks like such a dear lady. I especially loved seeing her meet Winnie the Pooh.

Hi BethKJ
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you liked them.
When we asked K's Grandma if she wanted to go to Disneyland for her 90th birthday she said "Only if we get to meet Pooh Bear?" And it was the first thing we did!!

I'll post day 2 tomorrow.

Excellent where you staying? Have a great time! We return in 6 weeks to the Disneyland hotel would love to make a vlog but terrible with technology?!  :o

We're staying offsite as we're getting our Annual Passes so need to save some $$$$. We're staying at the Hipark.
You should they're really fun!! We'd love to stay at the Disneyland Hotel but are terrible with money!!

It is pricey! But we've done it once years ago and it was a truly wonderful experience. In all honesty if my son wasn't in a wheelchair we'd stay of site also just to try I've heard good things about the partner hotels, but I can't be getting him on/off the shuttle buses it's a nightmare so we try and stay walking distance.

The DLH will be fantastic for him so we can pop back easily during the day and let him have a stretch and crawl about as its a long time to be in his wheelchair he can't walk at all. Disney are fab though aren't they! Young-old disability it doesn't matter there they cater for everyone. Your nan loved it right? 😀 My nan/grandad do too!

Although I've watched many YouTube videos over time I've only just joined so I'll go and subscribe to your channel to ensure I don't miss your next vlog! Becoming annual pass holders will be amazing I'm sure! Hope the wait won't be to long some I know have been in there for 2 hours before! Your going of-peak so should be pretty fast!

We were with my girlfriends nan in November and they were super nice and helpful with everything she needed for wheelchair access. They even let us have a couple extra spots in Dreama as there was 10 of us! It's so nice your son can still have a great time, DLH must be amazing for that being so close to everything.
We'll get there one day.
Thank you for subscribing. That means so much. I'll post the videos on here as well when they're up so you can see them.

Here's the last day of our trip. I'll try and get some photos up as well today or tomorrow.
I was really happy about this video as we did a bit a snooping about and find where you can see the exposed Mark Twain. Poor little boat!  :'(

We'll be putting a new weeks worth of vlogs up in the next couple weeks, so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss them.

Enjoy....

Hello!

I just wanted to say a big thank you for posting your report videos!. We booked our first trip for this November coming and it was great to see how the park might look (and what the weather was like too!).
The clip of the character dinner was brilliant-it looked like lots of fun...and Mickey took a big shine to your Granny. She didn't slow down once-fair play to her!
We've watched one video every night this week and there's none left for tonight...waaaah!!!!
We'll check out your other Youtube videos later :)

Hi!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm really glad you found the videos useful. Character dining is great! Just make sure you book before you go!! You have to queue even with a reservation! K's Grandma was awesome that trip. All she wanted to do was meet Pooh and it was the first thing we did!!

We put a new video yesterday and they'll be a new one up next Thursday.
Thanks again for watching.

Love the blogs, we're off to DLP at the end of May so these are really helpful to plan and orient ourselves.

Sad to see so much of the park behind hoardings for repairs, but you had a great time so i'm sure we will too.
Great snooping on the repair works.

Keep on blogging!
