Photos added - dad & daughter do Disney Dreams at Disneyland Hotel

[Happy Days]

Today we chilled, both due to a massive drop in temperature and DLH pillows acting like fluffy marshmallows. We intended to do EMH. Mickey rang us at 7.30, he pleaded, implored, cajoled but to no avail. We stayed snuggled until 9.30 when the thought of crispy bacon did what Mickey couldn't.*
We went on the train (again) then back to the hotel for coats. It was a day of Autopia and Buzz then back to hotel. Browse and shop ( got a nice boxed pair of mugs and a Chip & Dale 20th pin.*
We snoozed and watched NCIS (DVD) before afternoon tea. Then more Autopia and Buzz before a return visit to Walts. Amazing food again. Another round of Autopia and Buzz before watching Dreams from our usual spot. Straight back to hotel and DD asleep in 5 minutes - the magic of Disney.*

Great updates. Sounds like a totally stress free, relaxing trip. Must be the Disney Magic

 

[Happy Days]

Well last full day :-( breakfast at 9.30ish then a tour of the kingdom on the train getting off at Discovery Land to do ... Autopia and Buzz followed by IASW + Story Book Ride. FastPass onto Peter Pan and BTM. A cruise on Molly Brown, Autopia (again!!!!!) and last-minute shopping before siesta time.*
We enjoyed our last afternoon tea in the Castle Club and were just heading up Main Street when DD realised she had left her bag (fortunately she had just spent most of her Euros). Rather than rush back and miss the parade, we continued to our spot near the parade entrance. I went on the Disboard sticky, touched the DLH number and connected straight away (magic 'apple'). They could not see it but I was convinced that DLH people wouldn't 'pinch' it. (To save your suspense, we went back to the CC straight after the parade [+ a minor detour to Autopia] to find they had located it - it had been under a rather well-padded person who had not noticed that they were sat on it !!!!!!!)
Incidentally, the weather is much better today, the highlight of the parade being an important CM who looks just like Gok Wan.*
Our return (again) to the park heralded yet another ride on Autopia and Buzz. BTM was having technical problems so we had a wander round the wobbly bridges and the played NCIS bingo... (nb this works for any TV programme or film) - the first person to (discretely) match a passer-by to a character (by looks) scored a point. We drew 7 all and so honours even we went to the Blue Lagoon for dinner.*
Absolutely stuffed, we had to finish with a trip on POTC before heading to our usual Dreams spot.*C

 

[Happy Days]

Very sad that we had to leave today. Breakfast at 8.30. Rang ' luggage' and told just leave everything in room *and they will collect. Went down to check out- agreed bill and told they will take money at some point. Whole process took 45 seconds!!!!
Into park for a spot of EMH with Buzz, Peter Pan and Dumbo. At 10 we wandered round the maze and then IASW followed by the favourite ride of the trip - Autopia. We were going to finish with BTM but having problems so rounded off with POTC. A last wave from under the middle arch by the station and we departed with many happy memories.*

Loved your tr and photos- the one of your dd and mickey is brilliant! Will be taking your advice on the Dreams spot - would you say it's worth it to get the VIP meal package though?

 

[Happy Days]

Not unless you really like the menu or the park is very very busy.

 

[jothp]

[Ms Poppins]

Thanks for posting the photos - enjoyed the captions .

I don't know why, but I thought your DD was much younger. She looks like she had a fabulous time . And, I really like her colourful Mickey hoodie - how cool!

I've just seen a photo of these cakes on the restaurant review and they look very yummy! What is the filling please?
