Sunday 8th November.
The big day, I woke up at 6am and got dressed and finished packing very quietly incase i woke up DD and blew the big suprise.
Luckily because it was dark when i took the suitcase downstairs to the front door you couldn't see it from the top. Kyra woke up
at 7ish and i got her dressed and told her that today we was going shopping for her suprise toy
.
My brother picked us up at 8am and we made our way to Ashford, as we approached the outlet Centre Kyra was like "Mum we are here, ready to go shopping"then she asked why are we driving past and going into the train station, so I said to her that we are not going shopping...her face fell
and then said where are we going then, I asked her where did she think we was going and she paused, looked up and said "Mummy are we going Disneyland", when i told her yes her little face little up and she gasped, it was so sweet. She then did her yip yip dance in the car
Check in opened at 9am, and while waiting to get on the train i saw my facebook Disney friend David and we had a little chat and another DISer came and said hello as she was in the same carriage as me.
Train Journey was uneventful and we arrive at the Santa Fe for about 1.50 which was good going. I got the block i requested which was just around the
corner from the resturant, gift shop etc.
While changing the time of my Princess meal we had a run in with Donald (sorry the picture is a bit blurry i was all afluster lol).
After dumping our stuff in the room we made it to the park, well we went to the Studios first and bumped into Goofy.
We watched Stars N Cars where Kyra finally got her photo with Dopey and Snow White. She was made up as in September she didn't get to meet her and was terribly upset.
We didn't wait around for the signing bit at the end because we already had gathered enough autographs so we dashed to watch Playhouse Disney Live!
I love the pre-show bit...i was trying to hold back from doing the hotdog dance with Kyra
When we came out we saw Minnie, Daisy, Chip and Dale outside so we went and got some pics with them, they was being slightly mobbed but it wasnt a free for all.
It was coming up to 4pm so we made our way to the DLH and inside it was very busy, The characters danced to Christmas music...then after we got some more pics. (The day i thought would be bad for character meeting was actually a decent day)
We left the DLH and went into Parc Disneyland and made our way to Small World soaking up the Christmas atmosphere on the way, 5 min wait for SW on a Sunday shocked me but left me happy lol.
It was then time to go and find a spot for the parade where i then texted Sonya (mommy2ash) to let her know where was and she met up with us and we watched the parade together.
(Sorry for lack of Christmas float photos i ended up filming it every day )
Me and Sonya then decided to take the girls to Casey Jnr where we bumped into Pooh Bear, we then went on Casey Jnr where it was a walk on.
We was all hungry so we went to hyperion cafe (where lion King was) and had some food and boy how slow was the service, 20 mins to wait for food and there wasnt any queues, to top it off the food was cold and disgusting. The girls liked watching the Mickey cartoons though.
Then we headed back up to Main Street and caught the end of the lighting of the Christmas tree, it was nice ceromony, very Christmassy. Then we went and watched Party Time With Mickey and friends with the castle lighting. I personally perferred it when they did this with Candelabration so much more festive as they havent changed the Party time show they just pause halfway through it to light up the castle.
It was the a quick ride on Buzz, then me and Kyra went and sat by the castle to get a space for Fantilluison which reduced me to tears. I adore that parade and was SO happy to finally get to see it again. (no pics today as i filmed it)
AFter Fantillusion we made our way back to the Santa (where i noticed a few problems with the room but decided to report it the next day) where i put Kyra to bed and i unpacked and fell straight asleep. EMH tomorrow so early start.
I think for a Sunday we had a great half day.

I will go have a look...There must be somewhere i can obtain a copy so i can listen to it at home and sob my eyes out to it. I only have the Happy ending section on my parade cd.
lovely pics!
