Morning all,
Ok, so we've promised DD we'll return to DLP once she's 8 (didn't plan that well did I! Most of the time she's not 'free' now! lol) - the reason being is that DS will be about 2 1/2 which is the same age DD was when we took her for the first time. So we know how much he'll enjoy certain things.
Anyway, I've been looking at packages, offers, reading up about new annual passes, meal plans, etc etc etc...... And I think we have rough ideas on what we're going to do, but one thing is still an unknown to me - WHEN!
My original plan was to go early/mid January 2018. We LOVE quiet season - not only are the parks quiet, less queueing for things, but also the prices for booking are cheaper.
I was also thinking VERY early January as our school has a weird late Christmas holiday, we could have caught the end of the Christmas season, and that would have been great! Until I found out that everyone else, including all of France, have the same holiday dates!! lol So that's quiet out of the window!! So we started looking at a little later into January.
But then Season of the Force came along.... we're not massive Star Wars fans - DD loves Star Tours as a ride but has never seen a film (or has indicated any want to!) and DH and I are indifferent. If we catch the Season of the Force stuff, great, I'm sure it's a great show! But it's not a priority at all....
But.... has this upped the prices for the previously quiet time of the year?? Anyone know?
So this was still our plan.....mostly regardless of SotF....UNTIL I found out that Mickey and the Magician has break from Jan til end of March?!?!?!? Noooooooo! We REALLY want to see that!
Therefore, now, our priorities are Mickey and the Magician and QUIET times (we can cope if some other things are closed, and don't mind the shorter openings!). Any suggestions for other times of the year that would match the previous 'dead' January time??? (Don't worry about DD coming out of school - we have a lovely reasonable school and we certainly to NOT take the Mickey..... pun intended... )
Currently considering a midweek November 2017 trip (but DS will only be 2y 3m), sticking with January but missing MatM (DS 2y 5m), or looking at late March hopefully avoiding Easter but catching MatM (DS 2y7m)........ but would appreciate ANY other suggestions!!!!!!!
Thanks you lovely people you! Anyone told you how lovely you are today? Well, you are. So there.

P.S. Edited to add that we obviously want to catch the 25 Year Anniversary celebrations which I'm ASSUMING will last for a year..... I hope. lol
