I have decided to rename my trip report as my dd took some huge leaps forward with her anxieties. I am doing day 1 and 2 on the same as we didnt really get anywhere on day 1 as we got there late.
We left for the airport at 12, got there early and they let us check in early, so we got the cases out the way. We were called for our flight, and went down for it, but then we waited for ages, the plane hadnt even loaded off the other passengers and their luggage, so we had to wait for that to happen then wheelchair transfers to take place, then we got on.
The flight was uneventful, nice landing, got to Paris about 7.10 so 20 mions late. We had to wait AGES for the luggage to turn up on the carousels, we got out of the airpot with the Rs transports guy at 8. He had appropriate seating for my 5 year old and the 1 year old in our group. It seemed to take ages to get to disneyland.
We got there at about 9, check in was so slow, they only had 3 staff checking people in. We eventually got to our room at 10, it was 4150, and overlooked newport bay hotel. The toiletries they leave are much nicer than last time we came.
We all went over to the village to get something to eat, me and my dd chose to eat at the sandwich place, we got a pannini and chicken tenders and chips. My cousin took her two over to mcdonalds, needless to say they thought what we had was much nicer!
We went back to the hotel and were asleep by midnight.
DAY 2
had a 7.45 breakfast slot, made it down in good time. The breakfast was nice, certainly cant complain about that.
I loved this in the village
Then we went straight out to the park. we got there just after 9.
My dd heard the screams and spooky nosies before even entering and started to get a little anxious. Once she saw the pumpkin statues she freaked, I managed to get a few pics of her but beyond that stand with the huge pumpkin is at the top is where she began to go mental!
I was walking up main street with her trying to push me back down shoputing to go back to the hotel. Luckily I am bigger than her so her pushes did nothing and I just kept walking. Once we got to the castle she was fine, but she wanted to do the dumbo ride but I said she couldnt because of her behaviour. I followed through with this and the result was she wasnt bothered by the halloween decorations at all.
I think this is the pic where I stood firm and got back on track and took more pics, you can see she has been a bit upset, we traced back our steps and got a few more pics
She was desperatley trying to stay in the pic for this, despite being terrified, she clung on to the edge. I do apologise for the hair, I am trying to outgrow her fringe, there is a hairband there somewhere it just came out of place during her meltdown!
She hated this one,
Our first ride was pinocchio, my cousin took her 1 year old on this ride, she probably whimpered just the once, but due to that whimper she didnt really take her on any of the other rides. We wnet on peter pan, had to do it separatley as someone had to stay with the 1 year old. The same for buzz light year! We also did the carousel, and the teacups. We went on small world, and my cousin agreed to let her 1 year old on!
We then went to a princess meet

I realised as my DD went up to meet ariel, her trousers were on back to front! Luckily as the trousers were stoned for decoration on front and back it wasn't that obvious, but I still had to quickly change them round!

gives me hope for my DS (has ASD) who I know will take a while to get used to the park and characters 
.
Going to bed at 10pm is entirely sensible to me.
