Wow, wow, wow – what an experience!
This is a def must do holiday. It was fabulous. The weather was not on our side. It was freezing (-2) and raining and snowing! But hey, we still went out and had fun.
We drove to Folkstone and went over to Calais with the Eurotunnel. The kids enjoyed this experience. It was a first for us as well. From Calais it’s another 3.5 hours drive to Paris. We went straight to Ranch Davy Crocket, checked in and made our way to Disneyland.
The first night we managed to see the 5pm parade. If anything, just the jaw-dropping look on Katelyn’s face made the whole trip worth while. They were taken aback, it was all overwhelming.
The next 2 days we went to the parks, going on various rides. Buzz lightyear, Peter Pan, Snow White, Nemo, Pirates, Tram…we also did Dumbo, this was Zac’s favorite! O and the tea cups. We watched a few shows, it was a good way to keep warm for about 20min.
The highlight for Christian and for me was the Wild West Buffalo Bills show. On arrival we all got cowboy hats. We watched the show (with real horses/bulls) while enjoying our dinner. Mickey and Mini also made an appearance. The kids forgot to eat because they were enjoying it so much. Every now and again Christian would jump up with excitement and cheer the cowboy on!
We missed our slot for the Eurotunnel on our way home, so had to wait for the next one. At least it only takes 35 min, then you’re back in the UK, so quick!
Even now, when I close my eyes, I see all the characters and here the parade music “once upon a dream”
We plan to take the kids there again, but only in a few years time. No prams, no changing bags…and perhaps in the summer!
It’s a family holiday!
Sorry guys, no pics! The kids and I are in PE and hubby is in UK – he has all the pics! Will put pics on as soon as I can!
PS: for those who have a tesco clubcard – you can use your vouchers on the Eurotunnel. I only realized this after we had booked our trip!
