Morning all My first go at a trip report
I didn't take notes as the boys being ill on the trip kind of threw me so it's just from memory.
We traveled down to london on the 16 march on a super long train 4 hours they where doing works on the lines to say we where reading to get off was a understatement.
It's the first time me and DH have been to london together.
We got there at 2 went to the central kings cross travelodge I paid for a early check in so strait to our room to drop bags off the on to Trafalgar Square for the free st Patricks day celebration.
We got there no problem we tried to get to see the bands but no way 2 hour wait there where people everywhere and some asleep on the paths.
Not for us hence no pics.
We mand the short walk to covent garden had a look round the markets there my DH really enjoyed this , we spent a couple of hours there then back on the tube to kings cross and to nandos very nice the kids love nandos man than ate all of his chicken wings.
DH first time here and enjoyed it!
Back to the hotel for a ok nights sleep.
March 17th
Up early today who can sleep where going to disney
Ate at the hotel is ok no cooked stuff just toast cheese cereal etc fine for us.
Back to the room packed up what
It tell stuff we had used the night before then off to st pancras.
We called into m&s to get our lunch to eat on the Eurostar, also had a quick look in cath kidson saw a pair of shoes I didn't know I needed lol said I would get them on the way back.
Went strait threw to departures no problems at all the first time my DH has done this, he thought it a lot less stressing than a airport.
The boys played on the chairs DH serfed web on the free
wifi there.
I had a cup of tea £2 but worth it it was Yorkshire tea my fav .

We ate lunch and arrived 20min late not to bad really.
We didn't get disney express so had to take our own bags to the hotel not a problem really once I found out how to get threw the village the back check is a bit of a nightmare now.
The walk was harder than usual as it was so hot and we had our winter coats on never mind who cares where in Disney.
We found the golden forest check in we sat down the boys had a chocolate coin but they don't like them the new this from last time but I guess they hope they had changed them.
Our room was ready so strait up to the 7th floor 2 thumpers on the bed some chic coins and a bottle of water with a nice letter wishing us a great stay, didn't take a pic sorry just want to get to the park.
very nice room coffee machine kettle and a fridge.
I unpacked a bit put things in safe and we where off to the park
As some of you know I had bought some dream ap from a English seller so my aim today was to exchange them.
We walked up to the park and me and the boys used our dream pass's to get into the park.
Strait to the AP office where we got them exchanged in less than 5 mins
They saved us loads on this trip already.
Now felling less stressed on to our fav ride POTC

We got to go round twice

Came out of the shop and look who was waiting to meet us!

Now it was quite late so we had a bit of a wander around threw the villigae as we where having dinner at cafe Mickey.
We where seated quickly I show our dream AP and we got our free cocktail very yummy.
We had plus meal plan so nothing to put to the meal.
The boys had soup a burger and then ice cream.
We had mushrooms steak and then profiterole.
Very nice meal not the best but the boys loved it
