When we thought about it, there was only one thing we could call our trip report. 
Day 1 Part 1
Husband took us to Heathrow in plenty of time for our 6.15 flight, which boarded on time. As the minutes went past and no-one came to sit by us, Dtr was saying we may have an empty seat all the way, but I told her that probably seconds before the door closed, a 30 stone man would come charging through the door and come and sit next to her. He would be all sweaty and nervous and probably throw up all the way to Paris!
Fortunately she was right and I was wrong. The plane left on time, landed on time and we cleared passport control so quickly we couldnt believe it. I had taken a chance and ordered online TGV tickets the night before we left, but that was okay we made the train with time to spare and were soon on the 12-minute journey to DLRP.
It was no problem taking our luggage through the security point at the Park, and we made our way straight to Guest Services where I was assured our APs would be waiting for us. And they were! I was starting to get a good feel about this trip.
It was time then, to go into the Pink Palace and check in. Yay there at last! As expected our room wasnt ready but we checked our luggage in. The one thing that did surprise me was that we had hotel FPs for each night of our stay, not each day so it was 3 each. They were not individually dated so it was up to us on which day we used them.
Into the Park then completely transformed for Halloween of course.
We went into the Kodak shop to try to listen in on the old telephone there, but we couldnt hear anything. Next we went into Fantasyland
And into La Confiserie des Trois Fees to see the fairies in the fire place.
We went out the back to the little courtyard, where we tested the timer on the new camera I was using. (My sister had bought it only a month ago, but decided she didnt like it and gave it to me)
We went onto POTC as our first ride, which had a minimal queue. Husband had told us in no uncertain terms that we were not to buy any more ride photos. But we were in the front ..so what can you do?
We bought it of course.
On our way to Indiana Jones, some characters outside Colonel Hathis distracted us. Dtr has always been very lucky here getting autographs. Mickey was just leaving in his little car but still there were Koda, Kenai, Robin Hood, Sheriff of Nottingham and another (I forget) so Dtr stopped for Koda and Kenai, who she hadnt seen before.
We went next towards Phantom Manor but the queue was very long so Dtr decided to stalk characters instead lots of them were outside The Lucky Nugget in their Halloween gear.
Fort Comstock also had some additions for Halloween.
We were both quite hungry but I wanted to put lunch off for an hour, so that we would finish just before our room would be ready. We decided to walk over to the Studios and have a general first-day nosey around. Dont you love that feeling when you have your whole holiday stretched out in front of you?
Almost as soon as we got in there we saw a big group of characters including Abu, Eeyore, Tigger and Big Al it was a bit of a scrum but Dtr got the autographs of those four.
We went into Animation Gallery where we both tried to draw Donald Dtr with much more success than I. As we came out Dtr had to have a go at the Scream Monitor. Everybody in the vicinity jumped about a mile! We were about to leave the Studios when we saw Bellhop Goofy.
We were very hungry so went off to Annettes where Dtr had a Rock n Rolla Burger and I had Be Bop Burger. We both had vanilla and caramel milkshake for dessert.
We went for a little look around Disney Village and filled a mental wish list. We knew we couldnt buy too much this trip as we were travelling with hand luggage only, but there was no harm in planning for our next trip, was there?
Back at the Hotel we received our room key. Our room was on the first floor. Near to the swimming pool and spa - the furthest left you can see on the first floor here.
We were delighted when we got in there it was really lovely. Because it was sort of on the corner it had a hallway leading into it, which made it feel bigger somehow. This was the view from our room one way .
And then the other
We went down for a little nose around the pool but by then our early start was catching up on us and we decided to test out the comfiness of that bed. Within minutes we were both ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Day 1 part 2 later.

Day 1 part 2 later.
The sandwiches started at 2.50 Euros and went up to about 3.50 Euros. The filled baguettes started at 3.50 but they looked very filling, so it would have been possible to fill up quite cheaply here.
Love all your photos too! You look like you had such a great time
