bonjour 
just returned from our first trip from the 14th-17th feb staying at the santa fe with my 5 year old son and husband, we had a wonderful time and wanted to share a few moments with you so sit back and relax..but please no flash photography
Tuesday 14th Feb
woke up insanely early, I say woke up, I didnt actually sleep more than 3 hours thanks to a combination of excitement, nerves about flight and a foghorn snoring husband. Got the car packed and freed a sleepy boy from his bed, I was hoping he would sleep a bit more in the car but his eyes snapped open the second I strapped him in with a 'is today disneyland?'
We got to the airport and hung around till our 7.15 flight yawning and drinking coffee and showing the toys where we needed to go
The flight was non eventful, very small plane which I wasnt too keen on. There was a young guy flying who was intensley nervous and kept mumbling to himself and starting to cry which freaked me out a bit as Im a nervous flyer myself but was trying to keep my cool as it was my sons first flight.
Arrived at ORLY, said goodbye to the plane and went off to meet Jon from ezyshuttle...well worth the money he is fab Caused a minor fuss due to Jons card displaying my husbands name which he shares with a minor celebrity...needless to say they were a few dissapointed looks and cameras put away when we trundled over!
Took about 40 minutes till we arrived at the santa fe,my son fell asleep and woke up to see the huge lightning and sally sign and started bouncing up and down in his seat
no one else in the queue to check in which was fab as 15 minutes later the shuttle buss arrived and everyone hoarded in en masse so we missed that. There were a lot of heart balloons up and sweets being handed out. We were given our keycard and paraphenalia and had EMH explained to us, as we had requested an early check in although it was about 10.45am we were told we had a new room ready for us. On the way we bumped into this guy..
We made our way to our room which was about 2 mins walk and entered the block, my sons eyes lit up when he noticed the carpet had road cones on it and Luigi on each door, when we opened the door he went almost ballistic, he will tell you himself 'cars is my life' so this was perfect
I unpacked whilst the boy flicked through the tv channels giggling at mickey mouse clubhouse in french whilst my hubby fiddled with the heater..by god it was freezing in that room, took a good day to heat it up! Then we grabbed our stuff and decided to head for the studios first as thats where the cars are
Part 2 of the first day to follow,which includes my sons not so enjoyable experience on crush! I have to go to work dammit
