Yes we are going back 
I know, I know, you guys know me so well, we all I know I can't stay away from DLRP for too long
When: 8-11th November
Where: Hotel Santa Fe
Cast: Me (Emma) age 26, 100% Disney obsessed.
I'm on the right
DD (Kyra) age 3 (will be 4 before we go), loves Minnie and Mickey.
This trip really wasn't meant to be, September was supposed to my last Disney trip for a while.....But i happened to be looking at prices on the website (pricing up trips you know your never go on ) I happened to come across a great deal for the Santa Fe for 3 nights £220 in November and it would also happen to be the start of the Christmas Season. How could little old Emma say no, well i didnt I checked the prices on the Eurostar which came to just under £130 for me and DD and the next day i booked.
Firstly i decided this was going to be a real budget trip, I don't have any beef with the hotel Santa Fe i just hate the theming, it looks like your in prison or something lol. But the beds are decent and we are only there for sleeping (I can still hope for a upgrade lol).
Next on the list was meals, i did succumb to the fact that we would eat in Mcdonalds every day but after coming back home with 200 euros and having a extra £200 to change up in euros at the end of the month i have decided that we can do some non budget meals and still have a bit of spending money.
End of the month i plan to pre-pay the Auberge it comes to £70ish pound and i'm sure we get a photo included (Someone verify this for me please), also Cafe Mickey for breakfast on the Tuesday when we don't have EMH, and then Cafe Mickey for lunch on the Wednesday as we go home that evening and DD still gets her character fix.
We arrive on a Sunday and 99% sure the park will be very busy, we don't arrive till 1.30pm and it takes about 45mins to get out the train station as waiting for this one lift is a joke and very time consuming. So i have ruled out making the Stars n Cars parade at 2.45 (if thats the time). I have considered eating at around 6pm and then going back into the park for 9pm to watch Fantillusion, i just need to find out what time the tree lighting is and see if we want to watch that.
I plan to try and take it easy this trip, this trip is a suprise for Kyra and she has no idea whatsoever we are going back so soon. I don't plan to tell her i will let her figure it out when we get to Ashford International. Also this isn't a costume fest trip sadly, it will be too cold and i don't see the point of wearing a princess dress with thousands of clothes underneath and then a coat on top. I will change DD into a dress for the Auberge then change her again into warmer clothes after. I plan to take her Minnie dress and luckly Kyra can wear a longsleeve plain black top with it and black tights without freezing and feeling uncomfortable.
Eek, ok i've rambled on a bit so I will stop here and update again later as i'm pretty sure my plans may possibly change for this trip.
Only 5 weeks to go
and please NO SNOW!!!

In fact, I am weighing up the possibility of getting AP's for me and DD so we can do just that. Unfortunately it would always mean us going very early Saturday morning and coming back late Sunday night as I cannot get time off during the week because of the job I do but I do think it would be well worth it.
