Woke at huit hours, as we had advised Mdme Thernardier that we would have petit dejeuner at that time (wouldn’t like to get wrong side of her). Lovely continental breakfast where we met another 2 couples from Oz and New Zealand who were also staying at Maison de Thernardier.
After breakfast, set all culture aside and headed west to Disneyland Paris as a surprise for Kiera. When we turned off the junction and she saw the signs her eyes sparkled until she asked ‘but will there be any characters’, Kiera hates characters. We assured her that anyone we saw were real people and not characters. As we headed for gate, we noticed a large amount of cars with NL registrations. Appears that every year the Dutch celebrate the wonders of Disney by abandoning Holland and travelling en masse to France….it was like Sauchiehall Street on the last Saturday before Xmas! After circa 1 hour of arriving we finally got ticket and into park and Kiera jumped into mummy’s arms as she saw…..a character, Minnie the Man Eating rat. We headed for Fantasyland as it was Kiera’s day and straight to small world, on the way we wasted fast pass tickets on Peter Pan ride. Kiera loved small world and I knew it would not be our last visit. After a few more rides in Fantasyland we headed for Adventureland, but my favourite ride Big Thunder Mountain had a 75 minute wait and all fast passes for day were long gone. With a tear in my eye and a droop of my mouth I headed for Gloomy Manor to visit my relatives (GGG come out to socialise).
After a barbecue lunch at Woody’s place we watched a parade, spilt some popcorn and let mum go on Space Mountain before heading for Disney Village for some basic scran.
We returned home and were greeted by the usual smiles from our hosts and I was first to sleep within 27 seconds of entering the room.
Kiera had a great time and was respledant in her pink Minnie the man eating rat’s ears and her Minnie balloon.
Lots of Love
R, K & K
