Yes, the CMs are lovely, and they love trading as it doesn't happen much in DLP, and love trading even MORE with little ones! They can be generous!

Trouble is, even though I initially really WASN'T in to it personally, it does get frustrating when a CM has a stunning pin and DD goes for a really obscure boring one!! lol

Thanks for the encouragement The lanyards arrived for the boys. DS1 has social skills issues, and DS2's speech is way behind, so we'll go with the flow.

I had booked Ezyshuttle to bring us from CDG to HNY, and was planning on getting the TGV for the return journey. I thought the boys would enjoy going on a train. But I've changed my mind (I do this a lot!) as I think it would be stressful with bags and a buggy and changing terminals. So I've booked Ezyshuttle for both journeys now.

I had a notion that I wanted to surprise DH by changing our hotel to DLH. This trip was supposed to be for his 30th I'm September but it wouldn't be a good time for DS1 to miss school so I persuaded him to change. Anyway, the travel agents couldn't give me the same price as Disney so we're stuck with HNY.
Anyone have any other ideas for a surprise for DH on the trip?

I've been doing some more pre-trip shopping! (getting a bit carried away!)

I got this T-shirt for myself from red bubble (they have the coolest stuff!)



It says 'Winter is coming, but the cold never bothered me anyway'.


I got a Mickey Mouse hoody and Cars sandals for DS2, both from Asda:






And two t-shirts for DS1, Olaf and Spider-Man:

 

[cdsmiler81]

I LOVE that Elsa top!!!!!!!!! Omg! Lol

Off to red bubble for a look!

The Elsa tee is brilliant - love that it's a nod to Game of Thrones. I ordered a few bits from them today. Thanks for the info x

 

[Charlotea]

the website you got your Elsa t-shirt from is fantastic! There goes the next few hours of my life… (and all my money, haha!)

 

[dhidra]

I came across the site by accident! But i love it! Couldnt justify spending €20+ per tshirt for the kids, sure they grow so quickly. But would t love to get more for myself!
My tshirt hasnt arrived yet so I don't know what the sizing is like. Hope it fits now!

 

[dhidra]

What did you all buy???

 

[ILOVEDLP]

Guess what I showed the guy who did my tops for the twins party the website and he said he can do all that for me
Thinking 2 tshirts each and 2 hoodies.
Im going to go for a tangled hoodie and a frozen one
Star Wars for ds1 don't know for twins yet can not wait to start my PTR !
Thanks for the idea x

You'll have to show us those when you get them!

We've had a bit of a hiccup. I sent off the form for DS2's passport 3 weeks ago. Got a letter back today saying we would have to re-apply as I signed the wrong name!!! I didn't!!!! Really bizarre. I started panicking then *** we've only 2 weeks til our trip and it takes that long or more to get a passport and there's a bank holiday inbetween! Phoned the PP office and pleaded my case and they said I'll have it in time as its not a brand new application. Fingers crossed!

It sounds like you are going to have a great time and you certainly have some lovely meals booked.

I have two daughters who are very jealous of the Elsa t shirt.

I hope you manage to get your DSs passport sorted.

No sign of the passport yet, if it doesn't come tomorrow ill phone and see what's happening.

Going to get the suitcases out tomorrow!

Any sign of the passport? X

 

[dhidra]

Still no sign of the passport. If its not ready on time to be posted out to us, I may need to go and collect it. don't know how though as I have to work Wed-Fri!

Having trouble booking the meal plan with the travel agent too.

In other news, time for my Single Digit Dance! yay! might need a beer to celebrate!

It looks like the weather is going to get warmer over the next two weeks, so hopefully we won't need to pack too much wet gear, hopefully just a rain jacket each. Have most things ready to be packed, just need to get the suitcases out of the attic.

I've made a few changes to our meals. Looking at it I realized I had way too much food panned!

Sunday 18th
Breakfast at Airport

Thursday 22nd
If we need another character fix before we leave, I was thinking of doing breakfast at Cafe Mickey at 9:30am after we check out.

Rainforest Cafe @ 5pm before we get picked up by Ezyshuttle at 7pm
