Hope you have an amazing time on the West Coast. I completely adore Disneyland and am itching to get back so I'll be looking forward to your next TR as well

Thank you so much for reading!

I am so excited for the West Coast now, DLP proved to me that it isn't all about WDW and having some sunshine in DLR will definitely be a bonus! Just two more months to wait!

I'm the same with breakfast - I often miss it in hotels cause Id rather have an extra hour of sleep!

Its strange about the queue times as in your photos it doesn't really look busy shame you cant get a fastpass for Crush

The photo frame you bought is lovely.

I've really enjoyed reading your report - its opened my eyes to DLP as its not somewhere I've ever fancied but now its a maybe from me! It would be great if you, Helen and Rachael did a DLP trip - the reports would be brilliant reading

I'll be popping over to your West Coast pre trippy soon - hope the planning goes well for that trip.

So glad you have enjoyed reading along, and thank you so much for all the wonderful comments!

Love the idea of a DLP trip with Rach and Helen... I have proposed the idea to the girls... watch this space!

And what a lovely short countdown you have there, have an amazing trip!

It really was the perfect first trip and without a doubt we will be heading back to DLP in the near future! Thanks so much for following along!

Just binge read the last 4 days and really enjoyed it.

I must keep convincing DH to take me! x

Oh I am jealous of your APs, I am seriously tempted after this trip! I love how easily accessible it is too, I could happy schedule in a few trips a year!

Ooo great to hear you are off to LA too, I hope your planning is going well! I am so excited, 9 weeks today!

It looked freezing on your photographs! I went before Xmas for a couple of days and I pretty much made myself ill as I got so cold.

You really should consider an AP. They are changing in a couple of weeks so you could swoop in now for the older prices. I have the top one which was 223 euros with 20% off merch, 10% off food and no blackout days amongst other things. When I renew in May I will be getting one of the new ones but not the top one. This is will be 250 euros (ish) with 15 blackout days (Halloween and Xmas week) but still a discount on food and merch as well as EMH, free parking and a good hotel discount. Me and my friend keep doing 'cheapies' including the weekend the 25th anniversary starts for £95 pp flying from Manchester. It is good though because you don't feel like you need to do everything in one go and you can justify going back loads

My planning is so-so... we are going for 11 nights and as I want to smash DLR/DCA we are quite limited. Currently trying to decide between Universal and San Diego Zoo! Your trip seems to be coming along well

Ooo you do make APs sound very appealing... I am off to do some research!
