wow, we made it!

All in all we had an AMAZING time in Disneyland Paris, will put some pics on tonight or tomorrow, my feet still ache lol!

The travelling was horrendous to be honest, I expected to get there about 10-11pm but we did not get into hotel until 3am - 4am French time :shock: :shock: :shock: so 21 hours travelling. Coming home was a few hours less, we left hotel at 8am (7am UK time) and we got into our house at 2am :shock: the bus station in Edinburgh was closed so late and the coach drivers asked where we lived, hoping they would drop us off in our town as we were the last 2 to be dropped off but no, they stopped in Edinburgh, they did flag us down a taxi which cost me £25 but was just so glad to get home - then got home and texts appeared fro m mum saying she was waiting up to come and get us in Edinburgh (20-25min drive away) :roll: :shock: typical, my phone has been a nightmare!

So I would never do another coach tour lol! Amy was great to be honest, she had things to keep her occupied and made a wee friend who sat on the opposite side so they chatted and us mums either slept or chatted!

She is sitting playing with her new Frozen dolls - from the film lol - like barbies!

The weather on Saturday was fantastic and we left the park at 10pm, but Sunday it rained most of the day, we still had a fab time though!

Hope everyone is well and I have not missed too much! Off to go hand my washing out and then get showered and go over to see mum, dad was 65 yesterday so got his present to give him, spoke to him on the phone yesterday and nothing was mentioned about last week - as expected - I will not mention it and I will remain calm and quieter than normal!

Sounds fab Poll but gosh, what a long journey.

Looking forward to seeing the photos (though I've seen a few on FB).

Hope all goes well with your dad this afternoon - remember to count to 10 and breathe!

Did you realize it would be a long journey.
You will only think of the good times.
We have been on long coach journeys to Holland and Gernay.
Also going to Southampton by coach in September to go on a cruise. This will be from Lancashire so not as long as your journey.
Looking forward to the photos.

thanks all :D

Yeah Cruiser, I did expect a long journey but everyone on the coach expected to be in the hotel by midnight at the latest, the drivers wanted to be on the ferry around 6pm but we were 3.5hours late due to horrendous traffic on the M25, hey ho!

Thankfully we had things to keep us occupied on the journey, ipods, dvd's being played for us, magazines, books, Amy had her loom bands etc, so all good :)

Today went ok with dad, mum had warned him to behave!
