Disneyland Paris 2012



We left our house at about 6.30am on Wednesday morning and made a quick pit stop at Tesco to get some petrol and snacks for the car and then headed to Dover.
Max and Alfie were awake the whole time and we arrived quite early so they bumped us to an earlier ferry.
The ferry ride went really quick and we were soon in Calais.
The drive to Paris took about 3 hours and we arrived at the Davy Crockett Ranch.
Once we'd checked in and taken our bags inside we decided to go to the farm... BIG disappointment! The Disney farm consisted of 3 goats, 2 rabbits an a horse (that you weren't allowed to see).
So after about 5 minutes we left and decided to go for food. The restaurant in the hotel was crazy priced so we decided to drive up the motorway to the next exit because we knew there was a mcdonalds there.
After some food, we were heading back and the boys started arguing about their happy meal toy and distracted me and i took a wrong turning and we ended up lost.
Luckily Dru had a sat nav on his phone and we managed to find our way back to the hotel.
By the time we got back to the hotel, the kids were knackered and ready for bed but instead of going to bed nicely, they decided to fight it and play up. They ended up jumping off the bunk bed and hurting themselves.
Finally managed to go to sleep and me and Dru settled down to watch One Born Every Minute on Dru's tablet.
After that i was knackered and fell asleep and it was a good job because Max woke me up at 5am (4am UK time)!!
After that, Max was awake for the day so i got up with him. A little while later Alfie woke up and woke up Dru so we were all up then...
At 7.30 we were able to collect our breakfast so we all enjoyed that back at our cabin.
After breakfast we all got dressed and before we knew it, it was 9 so we decided to make a move to the Disney Park. We arrived there at 9.15 and got to park right at the front (which was handy) and then we went to have a look round the Disney Village shops as the parks werent open until 10am.
By the time we'd looked round the shops and collected our tickets, we went in and thought that we'd see Mickey first. The kids loved it!
Throughout the day we met Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Pinocchio and Gepeto (sp? Pinocchio's Dad) and we saw Donald and Tweedle dum and Tweedle dee but the kids werent fussed on seeing them.
We went on some rides too.
There was one ride that absolutely made me pee myself! You had to sit down in a chair and went up high and then it came down quite quick and back up again, etc. The kids faces were so funny! They enjoyed it but were scared and it was just making me laugh so much!
Later in the day we watched the parade and the kids were so excited! They loved seeing all their favourites at the same time!
After a long tiring day, we left the park about about 6ish (when it shut) and headed back to Calais. By the time we arrived at the ferry port we just want to go home but were told that we were delayed and ended up waiting in our car for 2 hours! The kids were so ratty by the end of it!
Finally got on the ferry and the kids were over tired so threw tantrums but eventually we arrived back at Dover.
After the drive home, it was about 3am so we all headed to bed.
Even though we had a fair few tantrums and silly behaviour, the kids had a great time!
