We got back yesterday from a wonderful trip. I'm not doing a TR so here are the highs and lows. Feel free to ask questions about the Christmas season (and everything else)
HIGHS:
-Christmas decorations! The parks, hotels and Village were so wonderful decorated. It was so beautiful and full of Christmas spirit.
- EMH! We have never really used them before but because of the crowds we went every day and enjoyed the park and the attractions without the crowds. No lines at the attractions and plenty of characters out on Main Street.
- The new ratatouille area in Studios. The ride is so much fun and amazingly done. This is something DLP can be very proud of. We had lunch at the Bistro and it was a great experience. The place is made with so many small and fun details and the food and service was really good.
- Magical Christmas Wishes! We got to DLP quite late on Sunday. The main park was open until 10, so we went in and this came on right after we got in on Main Street, so this was the perfect way to kick start our trip. It's simple but beautiful.
- The Christmas Parade! It's short but fully decorated for Christmas.
- Disney Dreams! I loved it. We are both Frozen-fans, so this was great. Last year we went to DL for Christmas where they had a special version of World of Color hosted by Olaf. The audio in Dreams was the same, so this was also a nice flash back to another great trip.
-Our hotel room! We stayed at SL and had a standard room right next to the main buiding which was very nice.
- CMs and guests! We only met nice, polite and smiling people.
LOWS:
- DLP need refurbishment!!! But they also need to hire someone who can change a light bulp. Half of the street lamps outside the DLH was out. The signs were missing half of the light. This is not even refurbishment, it's daily maintenance! They also need to update some things around the park but I guess that will happen now with the new investment. The down side of visiting the American parks is that we now pay attention to how old DLP looks.
- Breakfast at SL. This is truly based on a personal feeling. I'm sure others will find the breakfast nice and with a wide selection. But there was nothing we could eat. We don't eat white bread or meat. The fruit tasted old and the coffee was disgusting. The yogurt and the juice tasted awful... Well, we enjoyed Star Bucks in Village
- The weather! We had rain on most days, only Tuesday had blue sky and sunshine. And it was COLD!!!! SOOOO COLD!!!!!
For pictures check out my Instagram (travel_stepher) were I'll put lots of pics up in the next couple of days.
