Daddy Daughter Trip at DISNEYLAND! (paris)(courtesy of Betterware)

It all started Thursday 9th September when I flew from Inverness airport to London Gatwick. Dad took me shopping in London to buy a dress for the 'Dress To Impress' evening we were having. I had about 3 hours to find a modest dress and shoes! believe it or not I did ok..... ok in the time sense but probably not ok for dads wallet, ha ha. Then we got to the Premier Inn about 10pm where we stayed the night as we had to leave early (bout 6:30) the next morning to get a coach to catch the Euro Star to Paris.

From the Euro Star we took a coach to the Disney park where a conference for Betterware was being held in the Disney Village. We had a few snacks to munch on but the yummiest thing was the chocolate brownie YUM-MY! When we came out of the conference Mickey and Donald were there for photos, someone didn't want a photo with Mickey they just wanted Donald so I called over to Mickey for a photo!



Then we had a few hours to our selves before Buffalo Bills Wild West Show, so we went and checked into our hotel 'The Sequoia Lodge' and went and did a bit of shopping!









Now for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show!! (9:30pm) This was so good, it was a dinner and a show with real horses and buffalo's.













So after queing to get in we get free hats with a
colour band around it to tell us what group we're
going to be in. We were in the green group!




When everyone is seated the show begins with Mickey and friends introducing us to Buffalo Bill and the show begins...... (thats not buffalo in the picture below with mickey and co)














































While all this is going on we get served our food, so for starters we had a small bowl of chilli, then for mains we had a sausage, ribs, chicken, a small corn on the cob and potatoes and for dessert apple crumble with ice cream. Now I know it doesn't exactly look appealing but they were serving it up in minimum light!













Towards the end of the show they had the cowboy and indians do races for the different coloured teams, of course every team colour won a race but they would have you shouting, bangin the tables and screamin "YEEEHA" throught the entire show oh and cant forget the waving of hats around the air now can we!

So off to bed about 11pm with a plan to be up early in the morning for brakfast and DISNEYLAND!


So we get straight in for breakfast at about 8:30 I know not as early as we were planning but we were very tired! ( betterware had reserved a time for us too for breakfast) Nothing special for breakie just frosties, croissant and a milkshake. Got to the park about 9 apparantly the rides dont open till 10 so we thought we'd start of with sleeping beauty's castle that Ive been waiting to see for so long! I even got to go up inside the castle I was sooo happy and excited!











Then we went to our first 'thrill' ride Space Mountain 2. (that ride was open at about 9:40 so we only qued for like 5 min if that!
My friend Abi said it was soo good and I should deffinatly go on it, luckily she didnt mention it goes upside down (I say luckily now after ive been on the ride) or I wouldnt have gone on it! and as the entire ride was inside a building you couldnt see how it went, it was also complete darkness inside so you couldnt even see what was to come, so it wasnt until I'd already gone upside down on the loop that I'd realised that we had gone upside down and realised it wasnt that bad after all! Although I did come out very dizy afterwards and couldn't walk staright, ha ha! So now im happy I have finally gone on an upside down ride!

We got out about 9:50 and then decided to que for Star Tours which did open at 10, we must have only qued for about 15 min after they opened the ride so we were well on our way to getting the thrill rides done :D!
Dad really enjoyed the Space Mountain ride so we got a fast track ticket to that ride and went on It again! It was very good tho!

We then went to get a fast track ticket for Big Thunder Mountain and qued for about 1 hour to go on 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril' not knowing this ride went upside down also and this time I got scared cause it was all open and I could see where I was going and when!! but it was fine thank goodness! Then off to Big Thunder Mountain where we proabaly qued for about 20/30 min due to the fast track tickets, not upside down this time! lol. after the ride, we went and got something to eat...... well I ate, dad tried a chip and then started feeding them to the birds as they would fight over it, another dinner and a show :) then I went and did some more shopping before I had to get ready for our dress to impress evening!











At about 7:30 we took a very short coach ride to Studio Disney 1 and Cinemagic.
We went into cinemagic first where they incorparated real life into the movie, that was really good, then accros to studio disney 1(also a pic of the top half of the building from the inside) for our dinner where
for starters we had.......

















Tomato confit and goat cheese tart,
pesto with basil and pepper coulis.
It was DELICIOUS!











Then for our main course we had Poultry supreme in a herb crust, potato gratin and vegetables (asspargus, carrot, courgette, tomato and a white veg that no one new what it was not even the waitress....... then she came back with a french name for it and we still dont know what it is ha ha)
It was nice and I got full so I couldn't finish eating it but it wasnt as nice as the starter.

and finally for dessert we had Cheesecake with fresh fruits and coulis.
That was lovely but cause I was full I couldn't finish that either!


Then just before we headed back to our hotel at 11:30 (and painful feet for me in the heels I wore) we took one last pic. ok so its kind of hard to see that im copying Mickeys pose as the flash doesn't quite hit him but he's hiding behind the mop thats carrying the buckets (the non gold mop too)



when I get back im not tired so I decided to pack so I could have a longer lie-in in the morning as we didnt have to meet in reception till 9:45.


What a jam packed but amazing weekend I had, and yes I did miss my babies!
