Day One : "Dude, Where's our Car ?"

Woke up on Sunday morning to a spotless house. Wished we had left something to do, cause we got really bored and fidgety. Plus we were dying to tell the kids that their holiday was today, but my mum wanted to be there when we told them and she wasn't coming over till 10am.

By 8.30 we'd had enough and couldnt take it anymore. Rang my mum and told her to get round now so we could break the news. Below is the link to the video........

We were supposed to leave the house at 11, but being to impatient we left 40mins early as I said I would drive really slow. But even doing 55 mph along the motorway, we still arrived 2 hours before Check-In started. ( oh, on the way I saw a new housing development with a great name....." Balloo Manor "  ). So wandered around for a while, got something to eat then checked in. Took off at 3.15pm and landed in CDG just before 6. So far so good.

Now all we needed to do was track down the Taxi-Shuttle company we had booked. Now there were a lot of guys standing about with boards, but none with our name on it. By 7pm things were looking grim. Luckily a different firm had been stood up and they agreed to take us for the same money. 60 Euros out, and 50 Euros back. So, off to Disneyland we went !!!!! /

Arrived at the hotel, and told the driver when to pick us up on Friday. He was in the dark about the 50 Euros back deal we had with his boss and didnt look too happy, but agreed anyway. Got our room, dumped the bags, grabbed the bus and hit the Village. Decided to break with tradition and ignore McD's ( never went to it once ). We had never been to the Rainforest Cafe, so we went there instead. Me and Jasmine had the Not-so-Hot Chilli ( the hotter the better ) and the kids had Pasta ( well the floor and their clothes got the most of it ). By this time, it was time for bed. Stayed away from the gift shops as we decided to wait until Thursday night before going crazy with souveniers.

I absolutely loved the video, amazing!!! I don't think I've ever seen eyes go that big! Although I have to say I think you were the most excited person in the room   Loved the fact that your son had to ask about 50 times if it was true, but I felt you missed a great opportunity as you could have "no we're just winding you up!"  :twisted: (But that would have been wrong, funny, but wrong!!)

I actually did tell him we were kidding and he ran and sat in the corner. But then he got cuddles and tickles and he was all happy again.
