Thank you for this!

Our first time was 4-18 Dec 2010 and our second visit won't be until 2014 - so it will be nice to relive our trip by reading about others who were there the same time.

You are most welcome, hope you enjoy it? I wrote notes down and took photos of food for the purpose of writing a trip report but only got round to writing it recently...soooo lazy!

Thank you

To be honest, I'm looking back now thinking I complained far too much about the cold, it was just such a shock. Had I been prepared I don't think I would have minded so much.

As a first timer who hates heat and gets bitten to death by mozzies, the two things I was dreading were heat and mosquitos. Neither were a problem...!

To be honest Gill we purposely go in the winter months because neither of us cope in the heat. When we went in October 2008 it was hot and my ankles swelled and I got prickly heat. I'm not saying I'll never go in December again but cold aside we found the Disney parks really busy compared to the what we're used to. Spoilt I guess. So slightly earlier next time.
