Today started off bright and early at 6 15 am.... we were both still shattered after packing till 12 last night. The trip to Kings Cross St Pancras was relatively uneventful considering it was the middle of rush hour in London town. It felt very sad to be leaving behind all we had know for 4 years but very very excited for what we had to come in the next month and the future.

Kings cross was very busy and the amount kids that were on our train was obvious, so we did the best we could not to get to irritated, have to say we will not be missing the “innits” of London town especially after our train journey to Pariee! The train goes rather quick and the excitement of being on the Euro star to Paris wears off after about 20 minutes when you are doing 200 - 300 km/h (it does not feel like that at all!) after a bit of Chuck (thanks Rave!) and an attempt at internet with the tunnels up and down you are in France and the kids really start getting excited about the swiftly arriving Disney land!

Our hotel is rather nice as you will see from the pics rather western in style and clean and cute all Disney stuff everywhere you look. Check in at 1 in the afternoon is something we will not talk about but thank goodness Ricky let his wife rest her feet while he waited for the ppl to hurry up. 

First time in the park.... wow is all I can say! You would never imagine what kind of atmosphere comes along with walking into Disneyland Paris... the kids are all jumping up and down and the excitement is literally electric. We did three maybe four rides today and it was awesome little kiddies rides most of them! Except the rollercoaster my husband made me go on that I was petrified! It was scary! So don’t think I am a woes!

We watched the Disney Parade and you will see a couple of those pics too... We saw everyone from Mickey and Minnie to Baloo and the Monkey as well as Buzz Light Year and Woody  Needless to say it was pretty cool! And I think I took about 400 pictures for you too all enjoy our adventure.
Best part of the day has to be that we were actually here and it is surreal the parks are huge and you really can get lost... Pirates of the Caribbean awesome ride... and fun!

Dinner was a in a small quiet restaurant and it was Lion King themed.... the menu was named after Timon and Pumba and the Jungle leaves etc were everywhere. It was okay nothing great food wise but I got a Mickey mouse shaped dessert croissant thing 

So we are now in our room writing to you and don’t think it necessary to say we are shattered!
