THE BACKGROUND
Two years ago we took our boys to DLP for thr first time.At the time I said it would be a one off trip, but it has given our boys so many great memories we decided to book again.
It was booked after our summer hols in August and I managed to keep it a secret until Christmas Day. Santa had made a treasure hunt around the house and garden.Each clue had two Disney characters as prizes culminating in a golden envelope with a card I had made telling the boys where they were going.
TBH I was more excited than they were I think they had just got so much it was all too much for them to take in.
Now they are more excited and counting down the days till we go.
THE PLANS
We fly late out of Belfast on Sunday evening, picked up by BS Transports.
We are staying 4 nights at The Cheyenne with half board plus vouchers.
Plan to eat ...Monday-The Steakhouse
Tuesday-The Beaver Creek Tavern
Wednesday- ?
Thursday - The Lucky Nugget....Lunch
We did have a plan to leave the park early on the Wednesday and head off into Paris to see The Eiffel Tower but with the Euro so poor at the minute we have decided to stay in the park and get more Disney time
THE WISH LIST
Me - TOT, Fantillusion,Meet Captain Jack Sparrow ,and in the first 2 days catch all the Christmas action
DH Rodney - Happy just to go with the flow as long as he does not have to do The Teacups
DS McAuley 8 - Space Mountain-he was too small last time, TOT, RNRC his favourite and Crushes Coaster
DS Jacob 6 - to meet Stitch whilst wearing his Stitch outfit, To meet Sulley whilst wearing his Sulley outfit....J loves dressing up and BTM his favourite
So that is our plans hopefully we will have a good trip although I do worry that I have built up my expections so much that I will be dissappointed as many on these boards have experienced recently.My two boys are more interested in the rides than meeting the characters so perhaps we will not have the pushing and shoving that others have experienced.Although once Jacob sees Stitch he may be the one pushing everyone to get at his hero
So hip hip hurray not long to go now and I hope I haven't bored you all too much
