The Hen Do To Dlp (thats Not) March 2019

[sammi71]

Me (Sam) and my bestie Sharon are off to Dlp for 5 days, March 11th to 15th. It was meant to be my Hen do but we postponed the wedding, but 1 it would be rude to cancel a trip and 2 we have another excuse to go next year ( not that we need one lol ) .

We are both ap holders so are staying offsite in the Kyriad, this has become our Disney home since getting ap. We've decided to do a daily ap savings tally too.
When we chose the dates we knew we'd get Season of the Force ( both huge Star Wars fans) but then the Pirates & Princess festival dates were announced so we catch that too 😊 (Team Pirates )
So looking forward to this trip and keeping you up to date with a few cocktails thrown in

Travel day is here. Up at 5.30am, coffee made and into the car for the short drive to Dover. In the queue by 6.45am for our 8am crossing. After yesterday's storm today is lovely and sunny with low winds 😊

We arrived at the Kyriad at 4pm and checked in. We had been given a ground floor room next to the restaurant.

After dropping off our bags the next thing we needed was food. I'd only had my ginger biscuits for seasickness on the ferry and Sharon had had a blueberry muffin. We headed for Annette's. We had decided at the weekend that we would do a €30 a day challenge, to see how well we could eat on a budget

After looking at the Menu we decided on the Jukebox menu at €29.99. We each have an ap so knew we would get a discount too.
We got one of each starter and shared them, Sharon got the fabulous cheese burger and I had the avocado burger, with the desserts we again got one of each and shared them. For drinks we had tap water and our free juice cocktail for having an ap

This was the final bill. It came to €50.50 for 2 of us. That's with the infinity pass discount and tip added back on.

We were both stuffed and decided to head into the mk for a bimble round to walk off some of this food

And we are home 😊

It is great that we are catching two seasons this week. Pirates & princesses and Season of the Force

Team Pirate every day 😊

We walked over to the studios and waited for the Season of the Force fireworks

We love the breakfast buffet at the Kyriad both hot and cold along with pastries that I managed to stay away from this morning
