Ouch about the parking price but as DH doesn�t drive, and DS isn�t great on long car journeys, we always pay for Eurostar and staying on site which is a much bigger ouch!

Love the hallowe�en theming and that you got lots done but it�s a shame about so many things being closed, especially when you don�t know in advance.

We�ve done buffalo bills on all 3 trips, don�t know why as it�s exactly the same each time, but it would odd not to now. A family tradition I guess

Looking forward to day 3

Thanks for following along, we probably feel similarly about Hoop de Doo now to you with Buffalo Bills (last 2 times but a 3rd seems inevitable) so I think you're right about the family tradition!

EuroStar is a great option

on a future trip I'd definitely think about a train ride and then stay a couple of stops up the line into Disney Village or I guess uber-ing from a nearby hotel. While I've paid for onsite in Florida and also will do for California next year I just can't bring myself to do it for DLP for some reason! Maybe it's the weather

Looks like you've covered a lot of ground in one day and the park looks beautiful for Halloween. We'd love to visit at this time of the year, alas DH can have no time off during term time, and it seems awfully rude to go without him

We were there for Easter and it was lovely too.

I don't remember the FP tickets looking so cute in 2015. Vey collectible indeed. Oh well, just well, as my (hoarder) daughter collects just about everything else

The ceiling issue you've identified isn't very Disney and rather disappointing. To be honest, I couldn't fault DLP on this front during our visit (or perhaps I wasn't looking closely enough) and we did have a fantastic 4 day visit. But there was something 'missing' and we haven't had the urge to return (like WDW), even though it is virtually on our door step. I'd be interested to see how you rate it against Efteling (which, as you know, we adored) and Europa Park (which we are so looking forward to visiting).

The Peter Pan tickets were particularly cute but they all seem a nice keepsake and a shame to give away instead of just punching them or tearing a piece off. DLP this time because I was looking I found some inconsistencies that you don't see in Florida, admittedly on previous visits we hadn't noticed, also with a 14yo they are harder to impress. BTW I have a EuropaPark map for you if you want it, returning your earlier offer/just PM

I'm finding it hard not to post spoilers trust me

I know what you're saying, stopping there before I start to give things away - appreciate your following and commenting

Cheers all, Day 3 should be up either this evening or tomorrow night
