Short Tirp Report
We were at DLRP last weekend and had a great time,:ROFLOL: weather was so hot! Thought I'ld post some news on the 15th Anniversary.
First of all, there's a new parade with all new floats. The parade even stops at one point for a good few minutes to let the characters interact with the guests - very Good.
Every hour for the first four hours the park was open there were two mini parades down main street. Firstly the Toon Express - a train filled with characters that travels down main street and stops in front of the castle for about 15 mins when all the characters get off to interact with the guests, before heading back down mainstreet. Secondly something called 'Alphabet you are!' This is cast members dressed up as letters that spell 'DISNEY LAND' that have been made to resemble different characters. They basicaly dance their way down mainstreet from the castle end down to town square, the music's good - only at Disney would you get a parade of letters! Our 14month old loved though!
All the adverts say there will be more characters than ever before -it's true! I've never seen so many characters all over the park, certnily for the first few hours they seem to be everywhere!
Candleabration is also really good. The first night we were there it was a 6pm, when it wasn't dark so was really difficult to actually see the candles being lit on the castle! The second night, they repeated it at 9pm, much better. It was alomst dark and the castle looked spectacular with the candles being lit:sohappy:
Another new thing is the introduction of EMH for resort guests. This is a deffinate plus! Both mornings we were there the park opened two hours ealier, neally all of Fanstasy land and Buzz and SM are open. I even managed to ride in the front row of SM twice in a row, the first time being the only person on the ride! EMH was great, with having a 14 month old daughter it meant we could do almost all of Fantasy land without queing! Deffinaltey makes it worth staying onsite now.
Overall was deffienatly our best trip yet! (though being first Disney trip with a daughter might have something to do with it!).
Roll on Aug 12 - WDW here we come!:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:
