Hi lovelies,
Me and my boyfriend got back from our trip to Disneyland Paris a few weeks ago and after the madness of going back to work I've finally got the chance to write this...We had so much fun we're already looking to book another trip to go next November for the Christmas season!
Food; We did cafe Mickey twice the dinner the interaction was fab, breakfast not so much. The pizza was pretty nice. Character interaction was fab at dinner and the few we did see at breakfast were fab - although was a bit annoying 2/5 didn't even come to our room. We didn't have a meal plan but tbh we were so busy and Im so fussy we ended up just eating at counter service places anyway so it wouldn't be worth it! We really enjoyed Colonel Hathi's pizza place and the Casey's hotdogs are to die for!
Hotel; Santa Fe is lovely, the breakfast was fine we had crossiants with nutella and hot chocolates everyday! The rooms were clean and we loved the theme. The wifi worked well (priorities;)) and the the TV had Disney channels which were nice to watch in the evening. It was only a 10/15 minute walk to the park so we didn't even bother using the shuttle buses at all!
Characters; I was worried because we are both adults that we wouldn't get as much interaction but honestly the interaction is just as fab. Especially stitch and mickey and Minnie! Use EMH to meet characters because the queues are shorter. Also don't leave meets to the last day just incase - we almost didnt get to meet baloo! We met Donald and Chip and Dale in EMH, Met Mickey and Minnie in their adorable costumes at the Mickey's Box of Pumpkins, Met Daisy and Stitch at the costume corner, Pluto, Mickey, Goofy, Eeyore and Tigger at Cafe Mickey and Marie, Jack, Spiderman, Baloo, King Louie and Cheshire cat at various other meet and greets!
Disney express; It was so helpful on the way out to go straight to the park especially because our cases were so big and heavy. On the way back it took them forever to find one of our cases because the Disney express label fell off during the journey so make sure these are super secure - The people there are really helpful tho, they let us go into the room with all the cases to try and find ours.
Eurostar: super easy and really quick, on the way out it was amazing. On the way back had a bit of a struggle with some queue jumpers - please just don't be a ass. We also had a struggle because people filled up all the storage space with little cases. Please for the love of god if you have a little case but it in the overhead storage because it makes things impossible for us trying to fit large suitcases in.
Halloween; really enjoyed this season!!! Hell of a lot more than summer. A lot less busy and felt like there was more stuff going on! The weather was great, bit chilly in mornings and evenings but generally lovely. Aside from the Friday the park was not busy at all. No queues longer than 20 mins except princesses - defo recommend going then! Still have the Halloween song parade stuck in my head, it was amazing!
Photopass; recommend 100%! We got all the correct photos (41 over the 5 days 10 ride photos rest meet and greets) totally worth the money and the quality is amazing!
For dreams/parades/meets we tried to get there like 30 mins before which in this season was plenty of time!
Must do;

- Pirates of Caribbean!!! (Forever my fave ride lol)
