I would love to visit the others also! But it would take its toll on my son who has various special needs and the flights would be gruelling.
But when he's older most definitely! For now DLP is just perfect being a 2 hour train ride away... Many people love London and Paris also, each to their own I say. Asking as you enjoy it, it's your kind of holiday! I'm sure your next visit will come around sooner than you think it always does.
Did you stay in a Disney hotel when you came?

I think we love Paris and London because they are so different from what we experience where we live. We live in Natal, in the northeast of Brazil. It has a tropical climate, with warm to hot temperatures all throughout the year and it is famous for its natural beauty.
There is no such thing as winter here... It is always sunny and it drives me crazy! lol  Therefore, we love the weather in Europe, specially in the winter, and all the history and architecture. We love visiting all the numerous museums, galleries, and all the amazing historic sites.
And for me, Disneyland being near Paris is fantastic. Visiting these two places in one trip is awesome. I wish I were there today. I hope you are right and my next trip comes sooner than I think.

Natal:



Yes, we stayed at Cheyenne for 4 nights (from January 6th till January 10th) and then, after visiting London, one one more night (January 24th). We wanted to see DLP one more time before coming back to Brazil, so instead of flying home from London, we did it from Paris on January 25th. Before that, when we got there, we stayed from December 28th till january 6th at Ibis Val d'europe. It was much cheaper and very convenient to visit Paris and DLP for being a few meters from the train station. We couldn't afford spending so many nights at a Disney hotel. We followed the advice that I had read here of getting annual passports. It was great because some days during our stay at Ibis we went to Paris in the morning for a museum or something and then return straight to DLP. It was great because we had the chance to visit the park for more than 10 days. The days at Cheyenne were all dedicated to DLP though. We didn't leave the resort.

I love your pictures of Orbitron. It looks great at night.
Thanks again for sharing them  

It is great to hear you have infected some colleagues with the Disney virus. lol.  
Please share with us their thoughts afterward.

I will. Hopefully I may be going in May, too! One of my friends asked. She tries to get a day off for an extended weekend.
(as she is a teacher, it's not that easy because there are no school holidays in May, but she has worked overtime)
So, keep your fingers crossed!

I'm glad you like the pictures of Orbitron, BlackPearl.
Here are some more especially for you:







I will keep my fingers crossed! I hope you really get to go in May. Don't forget to share a trip report with us!

Thank you, Rafael!

The beaches in Natal look stunning. After having the coldest March in over 50 years here in Ireland we are craving the sun.  Even in our summer you can never be sure, last year it wasn't that warm and rained a lot.  Oh, to be guaranteed even a couple of weeks sunshine in ones home country would be amazing! Mind you the whole of Irland would grind to anhalt, so desperate would we be to get out and enjoy it!

[littlebitofpixiedust]

Again, lovely pics! I've too stayed in the Cheyenne it was the first trip and first Disney hotel that I stayed in. I was only about 12 I think!?
And I still love it just as much then as I do now!
It's awful weather here ATM really depressing what we'd give for some of your sunshine! Lol
Got the Eurostar booked today 8th September was hard work mind you to get seats they are all getting booked fast so glad I got it done finally.. Think it will be the sequioa lodge hotel this time!
I'll make sure to take lots of photos and maybe you could help me understand how to upload some from my previous and next trip? I havnt got a clue! Keely

OMG, the coldest March in 50 years! i cant even imagine what it is like! it must be freezing! Here on the other hand, it is so hot right now. I think it is the warmest March in 50 years! Lol. Can we blame global warming for that?

Yes, the beaches are beautiful here indeed, but when you live close to it, you kinda get used  and take it for granted. I love when people come over because I have the chance to show them around and it seems that I start seeing the beauty again. Does it make sense? If you feel like coming here, drop me a line. You and you family would be more than welcome. My apartment is not very big, but we have an extra room always ready, since my family is actually from Sao Paulo and I need a place for them to stay when they come here.
Natal is one the host cities for the World Cup next year and the stadium they are building is near my apartment. I don't know if you are interested in the event, but I think it will be a great party and the atmosphere in the city will be amazing. Again, you are more than welcome to come anytime!

Have you stayed at Cheyenne recently? Has it changed much since your first time there?

OMG, you are staying at Sequoia? How exciting! I would love to stay at this hotel!

Hey thanks for the info I will give it a try soon, I'm not very computer friendly lol! And thanks for the offer I would love too, your country looks beautiful! Maybe years down the line when m sons older (havnt flown with him yet) !

And personally I think the Cheyenne is the best themed hotel out of them all and I have stayed in all on site Disney hotels now! But it needs a refurb most definatley we stayed 2 years ago I think last time and our room was looking so tired and a bit run down, few things were broken too. I think they we in process of refurbishing the hotels as they have done the Santa fe and sequioa lodge. So it will be nice if they did Cheyenne as it truly is a great theme and has a magnificent feel to it I think, just needs sum TLC

You're welcome! I will be looking forward to your pictures!  

I agree about Cheyenne's theme. It is a great concept and it was executed very well. I also think it needs a refurb. There wasn't anything broken in our room, but it was a bit run down.  I really enjoyed staying there, but we would really love to try Sequoia next time.

Feel fee to come anytime!

Thank you very much! I am glad you like the photos! Actually my camera isn't that good, but I do enjoy taking pictures. I guess I try to capture the things that draw my attention and that I want to remember later. At DLP it means almost everything! lol. I say almost because I don't feel like taking many photos at the studios. Even though we spent many days at DLP, very little time was spent there. I hope the park gets the same amount of investiment DCA has received lately. I think it needs an extreme makeover, not just new rides.



Yes, if you have your pictures in your Ipad, you can upload them from it.

I would love to see your pictures of the hotels, especially Sequoia.

One of the things that I have learned here at the forum is that you should always look up. It really pays off.

Today I woke up missing DLP a lot. I really wish I could be there now.

[ilovedisneylandparis]

Me too, Rafael! Especially because it's DLP's 21st birthday today...I'd love to be there
