In just 33 sleeps we are heading to Europe for a grand tour starting in Italy and winding our way up to London to finish off. DH and I are taking the DD's aged 11 & 9.
We will be in France for Anzac Day and hence Easter, avoid the Royal Wedding until the aftermath and enjoy a leisurely two weeks through Italy. We are also heading to Bavaria to see the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Castle and the believed inspiration for the castle we all love...
We have purchased 1 day park hopper passes that I purchased around Christmas time when they had a special and an awesome exchange rate with the Euro. The DD's do not know about the day trip to DLP and we will surprise them on Easter Sunday morning. We are looking to head to DLP either on the Tuesday or Thursday after Easter for a day.
The plan is to catch the RER Train from our apartment in Paris and be there for park opening and head to do the things that are different to DL. We are going there for Christmas so no point doing the really similar things if time does not allow. This trip is not about Disney but I just cannot be so close to a castle and not go and discover it. Besides if I don't see it all, it is another excuse to go back to Europe.
Phantom Manor and Big Thunder are on the list as well as a visit through the castle. There seems to be some WDW inspired rides in the Studios Park so we will go and check those out also. Queenie's photos have reminded me to see the show in front of the castle. Our plan is stay as late as our little legs allow.
They have not posted the exact hours yet, however since we are not staying on site it looks like a 10am opening so we will aim to get there around 9 to line up and check out the surroundings. I will keep checking each day.
