Your probably wondering why I'm posting this on the TR section here and not the DLRP section, but i thought that some people who havent been to Disneyland Paris might want to read my trip report and who knows may even decide to visit there.
Cast-Me (Emma) 25- Huge Disney addict, every day is a Disney day in our home.
DD (Kyra) 2- Loves Minnie and aspires to be like Belle
DB (Chris) 27- Not that bothered about Disney, but thinks Aladdin is ace.
DFSIL (Chris's Fiance Lynn) 28- Claims she has dreamed about going to Disney since she was little but isn't interested in the characters
(This could be a bit of a ramble so i apologise now, i've never done a pre-trippy)
Some History.
Since i was knee high i have loved Disney films, Bambi was my first Disney experience and to say since watching that film i never looked back. I remember the day my Father told us we was going to WDW, I don't think as a 9 year old i could have ever been more excited. My family were never really "Disney" people so to be told i was going to the place where dreams come true really was a dream come true. I think back and i can still remember all the fun things we did, we didnt do all the rides as my brother was in a wheelchair as we went a 2 months after he had a pacemaker fitted and my parents have never been thrill seekers. I was so sad when the 2 weeks was over and i always remember my Dad promising me that one day we would be back.....
Me and my Brother when we was little on holiday in Spain
Rewind to 2004 and i went back to the magic not with my family but with someone who i thought was my friend (found out he had deeper intentions on the trip). He had come into some money and decided he wanted to go on holiday but had nobody to go with (i can now see why) and asked me if i wanted to go. Now at this time i had been signed off my work sick with what they thought was bi-polar so there was no-way i would of been able to afford to go on holiday. So i was really shocked when he offered to take me WDW. It wasn't until we got there that he declared he "hated" everything Disney. Now this is not what a hard core loving Disney fan wants to hear while walking up Main Street trying to hold back tears. From that moment on i just couldn't actually stand to be near him, he spend the whole 2 weeks ruining what was meant to be a magical trip for me. I know he paid for the trip but he moaned about EVERYTHING. I remember every day ringing my mum saying i couldnt wait to be home..... Well to cut a long story short we came home where he said he only took me away to try and make me go out with him, i was mortified. After that i didnt hear from him again.
Now here I am 2008 with a beautiful little girl who i can share my love of Disney with. I had decided on taking her to Disneyland Paris last year, alot of people tried to put me off saying it was "rubbish" compared to WDW and how i would hate it. Well how wrong was they???
Our first trip in January this year was magical and amazing and DD adored everything about it. It rained and poured and i swear it took my toes a month to recover from frost bite lol. I took my parents and my Dad had a ball i have never seen the man smile so much and he even nearly cried, mum on the other hand didnt cope so well with the cold weather but im sure deep down she was having magical moments lol. 5 days went so fast and the night i came home i was already planning another trip for September.
Kyra the 1st time she saw Tigger.
.]Kyra and Minnie dancing in Cafe Mickey, another magical moment for me
Little did i know that we would have 2 more trips before our September trip.......
