So I would advise getting up early. You can get a kettle from reception but will need to bring mugs and spoons. There is a ‘welcome basket’ of tea, coffee etc you can buy but we bring our own. No fridge, so we take the ‘2 in 1’ Kenco sachets which have milk added.

You could take breakfast bars or porridge pots with you, or get breakfast from Starbucks in Cheyenne or in the Village. Also Earl of Sandwich, McDonalds or New York Style Sandwiches do various breakfasts on the go.

It’s about 15 minutes walk through the Village to the parks. We never bother with the overcrowded buses.

Get in the security queue early, everything needs to go through the scanner including things in pockets.

If you can be in the park by 8.30 you can often do a lot of rides as walk ons. Usually open:

Big Thunder
Peter Pan
Dumbo
Teacups
Carousel
Buzz
Space Mountain
Orbitron
Autopia

Usually we get all of those we want done in an hour, grab a brew and head to our next choice - often Pirates or Phantom Manor which open at 10am.

Studios is harder as currently they don’t have Extra Magic Time and the Marvel stuff has just opened. Longest queues will be for Crush, Ratatouille and probably the two Marvel Rides.

The Christmas food festival will be on so that may be a good option for a snack. Food in Studios is generally dire and we usually nip out to Earl of Sandwich.

So after some advice we have looked at extending it to 3 nights from 20th-23rd.
It’s what I would consider expensive but we’ve always wanted to see the Christmas decorations and unfortunatelyy work doesn’t allow us to book off Christmas till beginning of December so Florida was out of the question for that one.

I have
£45 for parking through Holiday extra.
£2330 (Disney Cheyenne it’s the pull out bed one now, my kids are 8 & 7, tickets to parks and flights through Disney holidays)
£? Food
Already have annual insurance
Magical shuttle €132 although I don’t know how it works

Magical shuttle is a coach, should be fine although as I said earlier, we find RS Transports cheaper and quicker.

Glad you have an extra night now.

It’s cos that’s what Disney sort of linked us to when looking at booking and when it comes to this one I’m not very confident in what I am actually doing 😂 can manage Florida stuff but this one seems difficult.

Have you looked at pricing up the flights separately? I only ask as Air France have your dates for £666 leaving 6.05am and returning 8.45pm. It looks like you get 12kg hand luggage allowance as standard. It may shave a little off the cost and help towards food costs? As I think the hotel and tickets came in around £1538. Maybe only a little saving but a saving!

What about paying for fastpasses etc as I really can’t make long waits in line so that would be the other option or not bother going
You can get the access card though if you have proof of letters etc. I have endometriosis and managed to get the DAS in florida. I'm looking at the access cars atm, it's £15 for 3 years but you can use it to prove disability at a lot of places including DLP x

Not seen that no. I thought the only thing I could do was prove if I had pip and I can’t get that,I’ve tried that one.

Endometriosis I am almost certain will qualify you for an Access Card...

accesscard.uk/news/e...ess-week-2022/

DLP lists the Access Card as proof of disability that can be used to obtain a Priority Pass at the park

Awesome. After living with it for 17 years I’m so used to endometriosis never being classed as anything. My employer still doesn’t really understand

Just need to look at what letters I need and from where
