Descent of the Stairs

Postby MrsPirate » Sun Nov 11, 2012 11:20 pm

Just under a week before we head off for our second Christmas trip and after watching all the youtube clips I'm more excited than ever.

One of the things we have never managed to see is the descent of the stairs, can anyone tell me what days/times it is on?

Thanks in advance.

its usually Thursday through to Sundays, in the foyer of the Disneyland Hotel. The times are subject to change, so you're best to pop into the DLH and check out the times on the notice board located near the bottom of the staircase.

its a character meet n greet, it only takes place in the Disneyland Hotel but is open for anyone to go see it. The characters dance down the stairs to music, then you can meet them to have your photo taken with them/get an autograph etc.

its a free for all - but its usually so quiet that you can easily meet all the characters without a lot of scrumming - unless the park is mega busy, this meet n greet is usually a fairly pleasant one :) .

Thank you, we will only be able to do this on the Sunday, so fingers crossed we don't miss it again!

Aww, no Friday? :(
I'm only going on a Friday on our next trip, and I keep saying I wanna see this / see the Disneyland Hotel, but from my 12 trips still haven't done it once.

This is why I love having this forum, until now I've never heard of Descent of the Stairs. :shock:
In fact I've never walked into/checked out the DLH, during my previous trips (I know, I know, ridiculous). However, on my next trip I DO plan to go have a look, book dinner there maybe. Enjoy the ambience/ be nosey! :D

How many characters normally come down the stairs? Which 1s we are going mon-thurs. Going to struggle to do that before boarding eurostar?
