Off with my school

Guest · 8 May 17, 06:19 AM

So in four weeks time I will be heading to DLP with my Y11 and other colleagues. I am looking forward to the trip but it will be strange being in the happiest place without my family.
We leave UK at 4am to spend the rest of day and the following in the Parks and then have a day in Paris
I hope I can still grab a few signatures, do some pin trading and enjoy a few rides

What are the not be missed? Grab a fast pass for etc?
Please anyone with advice let me know
Thanks

Sorry can't help you but we were talking in the staff room the other week and those who have been to both Florida and Paris were saying that the rides in Paris are soooo much more fun... enjoy!

I loved the rides in WDW, so am really looking forward to the trip even more now!

My DH has been taking a school trip to Paris for the past few years. They start in the one park in the morning, the entire group meets mid-afternoon and they all go over to the other park. They make use of single rider lines to get on as many rides as possible.

It's a few years old now but Leyfy wrote a trip report for a school trip to DLP. That might be helpful. It's not easy to find so here's the link - https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho...d.php?t=799709

My DH used to take the old school mobile but now tops up a spare smart phone that's registered on three so the students can contact him via whatsapp if they've got any problems either in the day time or when they're back at the hotel.

I have had the experience of WDW and DLP and one of the things I liked about DLP was the rides were different - others have already said that. So I'm not sure - in my mind anyway - that is a case of which is better.

I did prefer Space Mountain in DLP and - again from memory - there was a part of the MK in DLP that didn't exist in WDW at the time. I also preferred the DLP version of BTMR but preferred the WDW version of HM

So enjoy the trip!
