Im back!!!

5th October

Wel today we are going to Disneyland Paris!!!

We arrivted at the airport at 9.30am for the desk to open at 10.10am when we checked in for our flight to Charles De Gaule with Air France / CityJet

After checking in for our flight we then headed up to the Serviceair Lounge after passing security (where I got searched!!! for the first time ever)

While heading to the lounge we saw the plane which we would be flying in and it looked soo small

The Lounge was so comfy and relaxing with leather chairs and you got unlimited drink!

While we were sitting in the lounge we did not realise it until we were told but we were sitting right behind Sammual el Jackson!!! my friend David took a picture of the lounge and got the back of his head!

Our flight to CDG boarded at 11.40am but did not leave until 12.25pm.

The flight seats were a bit cramped (we were in seats 4A and 4B) With all the seats on the flight leather.

We got inflight food at 1pm which had carrot cake and a mini crossent with cheese and ham.  We also got offerd tea or coffee to drink.

The flight didnt fly that high durring the flight and as we had quite good weather we could see the ground!

One of the downsides of the flight we had was no inflight entertainment (good thing i had brought my iPod!)  But at least we got food on the flight.

Durring the flight it did continue climbing which seemed to take forever so eventually all you could see is clouds.

When landing at CDG it was very bumpy we arrived at 15.20 when we went to collect our bags and as soon as we got to baggage reclaim our bags were there waiting for us!  But we did wait 15mins for Davids bag but it was there the whole time he just thought he had a diffrent coloured case! (twit)

We then headed over to the gate for the VEA bus at 16.20 to head over to disneyland WOOOHOOO

While on route on to DLRP we saw a very bad crash involving 3 cards on the motorway to CDG!  Thank goodnes we was not heading to CDG!!

Before we knew it we was at hour hotel - Santa Fe WOOOHOOO

Annoyingly when on the VEA we saw TOT but I did not know it was TOT otherwise could of got a good picture from long distance

We then Checked in at the hotel and there was no ques to check in which was great so we headed to our room "19" in block "40" which was right behind reception so we then headed after dumping our backs for W.D.S

We were going to go onto RNRRC but the que was 75mins:( and so we thought we would try TOT and again a very long que :( so with this we headed over to Disney Park instead and by this time it was 6pm so we manged to get a fast pass for SM2 for 20.45

While waiting for this we headed over to Autopia for a ride on it as there was not realy any ques at all for this and then we went on to Indiana Jones twice as the ques were very small!

We then were going to go onto BTM but it was closed :(

After this we went onto Pantom Manor.

We thought this was closed as the doors were closed and took forever for the doors to open and as we were about to head away from it the doors opened!

When on the ride section it broke down 3 times! how disappointing

After this it was 8.35pm so we thought as buzz Lightyear and had a 20mn wait we would go onto it and im manged to get 82,000 and David only got 9,400! (haha)

After this it was then time to gon onto SM" but when going onto it nobody was on the main que and we went into the wrong que :S

It was sooooooooo good but was bumpy.

It was that good we went back on right after it and were only waiting 10mins!

At this time it was already 9.40pm so we were very hungry so headed to the "Stakehouse" in Disney Village for our dinner.

Amazingly to me I had soup in a GLASS! drunk it with a straw!

For main course I had Chicken Curry (yuck) and david had Stake and Chips he liked the Stake but not the chips.

We had desert despite the main course being so bad.  I had Creme Boule and david had ice cream which we both loved.

After this we then headed back to the hotel to have a look around.

The reception was very nice with an arcade, shop, bar, restraunt and internet access.

The downside was Internet access is that it was €0.15 for 1 min!

It was such a tiering and busy day we were looking forward to tomorow so we headed back to the hotel.

We were booked to have breakfast at 07.45 and then were going to head onto SM2 for early hours access and to see how many times the CM's would let us ride without getting off!

Day 1, 6th October coming soon and also Pictures coming soon!

6th October Report

Well it was time for our first day at DLRP.

We got up at 7.20am and headed to the restaurant to have for our breakfast but could not find anything we liked to walked back out!

We decided that we would just head over to the Park to go onto Space Mountain during Magic Hours this was great and even better with no ques at all!!!

So we had a go around and then asked the CM if we could go around again butt hey said we cant and if we want to we would have to back into the que :( even tho no one was realy there maybe about 5 people!  HOW MEAN!

We decided we would do this anyway and went on 2 more times!

After this we then went onto Buzz Lightyear.

We took a walk through he castle to have a look around and eded up on Peter Pan's Flight!

By this time it was already 9.20am so we decided we would head over to the Studios where we found there to already be around 30 people waiting for it to open.

The gates then opend around 9.45am so we then headed straight over to RNRRC where we were first in line! (WOOHOO) but we had to wait until 10.10am before the CM would let us in!

Was well worth the wait and we ended up going on 4 more times!

Just the launch of RNRRC was sooo good and just amazing to think as soon as you launch your into two loops!

After this we then went over to TOT to get a fast pass for it was the ques were a bit big for David who didnt want to wait in the que!  and were given a time of 2.25pm so we thought while waiting to ride on it we would head over to BTM  but it was closed as broken down (again!) but this time you could see 2 of the trains stuck on it!

So we headed over to Indiana Jones and went on twice as not much in the way of a que for it!

After this we took a walk around and then took a ride on Pirates of the Carribean.

We then went back over to BTM wand it was re opened but 30mins waiting time so decided to just go on it.

We then headed back over to the Studios and it was 1.30pm so we then took 3 more rides on RNRRC

After this it was time to go onto TOT with our fast pass and OMG it was sooo good and was not expecting, you got a very good view of the park before the ride droped again after taking the on ride pictures

We then decided we would then go back on AGAIN

We then took another 3 rides onto RNRRC and then headed over to see Motors Stunt Action it was such a good show and the drivers are so skilled and amazing and highly recommend to all to go and see

It was then getting late so we headed back into the main park to go on Space Mountian but was closed as not working ! :(

After this we took a ride on Star Tours which was good apart from felling a bick sick after it!

After this SM was re-opent so we took 2 goes on it!

Now was now 6.30pm so decided to go into Disney Village and went to have our dinner in Aneete's where we used our Half Board Plus and was such good value we got a Burger, Side Order, 1 large soft drink and ice cream (we didnt have our desert to full!)

We then had a look around the village then headed back to the hotel and sat in the hotel bar for a while.

The bar was not to bad priced compared to the park and village.

We then went back to the room to watch some Disney TV and just relax!

7th October coming tomorow!

7th October

The day started of with a later start at 10.30am and we headed straight over to the Studios for our wake up call on RNRRC and went on it 3 times!!!!

While on RNRRC we saw what must be the funniest CM in the whole park called "DouDou" who is best described as acting like Eddie Murphy in our opinion!

We then headed over to TOT for a fast pass.

To pass the time until it was our go on TOT we would have a trip on Studio Tram Tour which was very good and some of it had amazing effects.

We then had some lunch and after this we went back onto... RNRRC for aanother 2 goes!

It was now time for our go on TOT

After the ride on TOT we headed back to the main park and had a relaxing trip on the Disneyland Railroad and got off at Discoveryland and headed over to SM2 and had 2 rides on it!

We then went onto BTM for 2 rides on it as the ques were not that bad.

After this we then headed over to Indiana Jones for two rides!

After Indiana Jones we headed onto POTC and while on route to it we took some photos of the area leading to it on tie pirates ship and the area around it,   we missed the 4pm parade while doing this :( which was very annoying.

We had another go after all of this on SM2 again while in the que in the left hand track they closed it and moved us over to the right hand side.

When the train came some french people decided to go to the found of the rocket and jump infront of us and a CM saw them and told themo ff after having an argument in French!

We took the alst ride of the day on Buzz Lightyear.

We then headed back to the hotel to get ready to go and see "buffalo Bills"

We got to Bufalo Bills for8pm where there was the pre-show show.

We got into see "buffalo Bills" and was so wonderful the use of animals is very good and everyone is so well trained!

We highly recomend "Buffalo Bills" for all to see!
