THE DAY BEFORE!
I know most of you guys don't really read my reports, but I just want to mention the day before, the Tuesday, it was the travel day.
It was a fine day, i got packed, showered, did my hair, make-up re-packed and then we headed off to the train-station in my town, which was all fine. Then we found there was a delay of 15 minutes which wasn't bad, the train came on time, but once we were on, the train was caught in a power-failer. >.< I contacted my parents telling them the news as we were planning on catching the bus to the air-port. The train which should have been an hour, was an hour and a half. Causing us to miss our bus, however my brother was on hand to pick us up to take us the airport. This is the first time I've flown with Flybe as BMI Baby are no longer with us. (DAMN YOU!) The flight there went smoothly, but getting us off the plane took forever! We then had 30 minutes to get through the extremely large terminal 2 at CDG. But we made it! The TGV was fine and we arrived at Disneyland at about 9:15. We then bought some items and then we took the free bus to Val D'europe. We then walked the 5 mins to the hotel - a new experience as I've never been in this hotel before - Riseholme prestige. A lovely hotel! I highly recommend! It was only £20 per person per night! We got a kitchen area too with Microwave, dishwasher, sink, fridge, cups, plates, forks.. etc. The bathroom, was nice and we got free toiletries.
The beds were lovely and comfy. So yes I highly recommend this hotel and as said it's only 5 minutes from the shopping centre and the bus stop!
We then got an early night ready for the day and night ahead!
DAY 1!
We got up nice and early and headed to the bus for 9:45 which got us in for 10; We went through baggage as normal and bought me my ticket for the day.

We went chilling waiting for princess near Fantasia Geltina and I saw a group of people, I send jenny to investigate and IT WAS PING! I tried to jump up but my bag got caught under the chair and I was pulling along a chair with me and I couldn't get up. it was pretty funny. XD

(Left my camera on high exposure like an idiot >.<)
While tweeting I saw that Stitch and Angel were down in Discoveryland so we headed down and I got to meet DisneyDan and PeterPanFan... also I saw littlemermaid and Kyra. I didn't get any photos as I was "networking" XD
But it was nice to meet the amazing character photographers! =D Plus he recognized me first!
We then went BACK AGAIN to the villains area and I started to vlog when Dr. Faciller RAN into the castle, tried to get into the Gallery, but it was closed off, so decided to run into the Glass shop and then down into the Dragon, we followed and got photos, but Jenny dodged mine up as it was dark. But it was pretty funny.
