Wet January at DLP
Posted: Oct Tue 09, 2018 5:00 pm
So just 4 days after returning home from WDW my wife contracted a serious dose of flu. She completly missed Christmas spending it in bed and was only a little better by New Year. Prior to our trip to WDW our Princess had told us that she intended to finish at DLP, feeling very homesick and unhappy that it had not quite been all that she dreamed of.
She had to give a months notice so we agreed that she would finish on Sat 3rd February 2018. This left us with only a few possible dates to go and see her. The biggest decision seemed to be how to travel. As we planned to take over an empty suitcase and return with it full this mainly ruled out flying, so eventually we settled on a train to London and the EuroStar to DLP. At almost half the cost of flights although only taking a few hours longer due to airport tranfers and check in times the booking was made. Train it was.
Sadly the dining packages were not that good but as Princess only got a discount on the room we worked out that a package was actually the cheapest option. We were out of spare cash after WDW so we went for Hotel Santa Fe. A long way off what we had just experienced at the Yacht Club but it should be ok.......shouldn't it? (I will explain later)
We booked to arrive Sunday 21st January and depart Wednesday 24th January. That would give us time to see the parks and spend some time with Princess who was able to arrange her shifts to spend some time with us.
With a few days to go the weather forecast was not good but who needs good weather at Disney? We would be ok wouldn't we?
Anyway we were off to see our Princess who confirmed that she would be Anna on Parade whilst we were there. Nothing could be better.
We packed our few things and put our bag inside the suitcase.
We were set
