Love how you managed to pack so much in. Ratatouille sounds really good, it wasn't there on our last trip. Boooo for Space Mountain being closed.

Some v impressive eating going on too - keeping up the good work!

The best thing is that he was filming the whole thing thinking he was going to get some great views of the park when up there... instead it's just him cursing at the ship for not going up!

Ratatouille is definitely worth a ride so you must go back, I can come too and ride Space Mountain... #dibberdollsdoDLP

Some brill castle shots. Doesn't it feel.more relaxed and lovely when the park is so quiet.
We didn't spend a whole lot of time in the studios park as a lot of the rides are bigger and I was preggo at the time. Hoping to get back one day and explore there much more!
Aw I loved Dreams. The main bit I remember is that Tangled song too! Think I might have even cried a little bit (I blame the hormones )
Yum that Italian place looks amazing! Excellent choice.

It was so cold, hands down the coldest I have ever been... but totally worth it (I can't think of a better place to be freezing your bum off!)

I cried at Dreams every time... and I can't even blame hormones! It's the Disney magic

You must try and get back at some point after your WDW adventure, Charlotte will love it!

Love the disney socks of the day and bargain purchases made while there.

Your trip report is reassuring me that from a WDW lover DLP will impress me - obviously I'm aware it won't be the same (I've only done WDW once for the first time last June and I'm hooked!) but I'm now really looking forward to going and seeing what DLP has to offer. Hope you manage to get to see the parade in coming days and looking forward to reading :-) x

I was completely blown away with just how much I loved DLP. I am a WDW girl through and through and that will never change but there is definitely something still so magical that sucked me in. I would never see it as a replacement, more as the perfect Disney top-up (oh and the parade just made me love it even more... stay tuned!)

Ah that's such a shame they cut it back, I bet it was so lovely and quiet in that last hour! This has certainly made me sway more to an on-site stay at WDW now!

Oh my goodness you have made my day... one is right near where I work! Must check out a London version soon, thank you so much for educating me!

What a fantastic busy day with some wonderful photos

Another fantastic day!

I love how quiet the park appears to be - always good for those all important castle photos!

Just need them to venture out to Essex now. Vappiano at Lakeside now wouldn't that be great?

I was over the moon to get such undisturbed photos of the castle, I have never even come close in WDW! Thank you for reading!

Now that would be the dream! I think one would fit in perfectly down on the Boardwalk!

Such a shame we missed each other!

The food at Vapiano was really good, I so hope you have a better experience next time around!

Good breakfast selection there and good that you got it included.

Ive never been to DLP so its good to see some familiar looking rides and some new ones.

We had McCafe macaroons from one in Barcelona - very tasty
