There was a travel size kettle in the 1 bed and a large normal size kettle in the 2 bed

Will be staying here for 5 days (sept. 8) and am quite excited about it!

We stayed here on our last visit and absolutly loved it, i had read mixed reviews so we realy werent sure what to expect... but it gets the thumbs up from us . Your could easily spend a day at the ranch exploring all it has to offer so you wont get bored! Have fun

Thanks Reid this is excellent.

Claire and I are staying here in December. I cant wait. There will be 10 of us and guess what only 4 of those are adults. ARrgh.Lol.

Anyway thank you.

I have a few questions.

Can we enter the park before check in? As our ferry will leave Dover at 8:00am.?

do the characters show up at the dinner buffet resturant?

Is the parking free at the village parking. Opposite the cinema? The reason I ask its much closer to disneyland park. My children were so tired and struggled to walk back to the main car park.

Many thanks

Unless you have annual passes you will need to go to DCR first to check in and collect your tickets however you can check in at any time but probably wont be able to get into your accomodation til after 3.00 (We checked in at Santa Fe at 8.00am once)

As far as I know the characters arent at the restaurant but do appear for meet and greet putside the retaurant bar area

Unfortunately you have to pay to park at the Disney Village carpark - it is quite expensive as you pay per hr

I love the DCR! Can't wait to go back soon, its my favorate hotel bnut we stopped going there after they stopped the free shuttle bus. I love driving but the Eurostar is just soo quick and easy for me!

I just read online that the bunkbeds cannot be used by those weighing 70kg or more. Is this true!?

Yes 70Kg is the maximum that is posted on the bed

 

[melanie5]

Yikes...that puts a hitch in my plans

 

[cap'njack.]

Yes 70Kg is the maximum that is posted on the bed

Or 11 Stone for those of us who have no idea how much a Kg is (1 kilogram = 0.157473044 stone)

It is possible to get away with a bit more than that on the bottom bunk, but I don't think I'd fancy trying more than that on the top bunk

We stayed for 5 nights this week in a 2 bed cabin.

The cabin was comfortable and clean, which was a relief as I had read a few iffy reviews.

We picked breakfast up at 7.30 each morning and ate the croissants and brioches on the way to the Park, saving the baguette for later. We went back to the Ranch at around midday and ate the baguette for lunch with spreads (provided with breakfast) and cheeses and ham (bought at Auchan). We would then spend a few hours relaxing and/or swimming before heading back to the Parks.

The Village part of the Ranch was nice.

and the pool was lovely, although a bit chilly at first. One day the children were in there for 2 hours and would have stayed longer if we hadn't had a meal booked!

and one silly one for luck.

There's one of me and Husband like that too, but I'm not putting that one on!

Your 2 bed cabin looks much better than some of the 1 bed cabins we've had. I know it doesn't make a difference to the sleeping numbers, but I think next time we stay at the DCR, we might consider the upgrade to a 2 bed just for the extra cleanliness.

I agree they are much better. We stayed in a 1 bedroom one at Christmas for 2 nights then when we needed somewhere to stay for a night at Easter before going to the campsite we opted for a 2 bedroom one for 1 night. It was much nicer. definitely worth the extra cost which isnt that much really

Awww... Go on!!

Looks like a nice cabin!
