We had a strange start to our break, after staying at the Travel Inn in Folkstone we got the Shuttle to Calais. Not something we've done very often (apart from once, when we had the caravan and as Calais approached it was very stormy and I wimped out of a ferry crossing - that venture cost us over £300!!!!!). Anyway it was very straight forward and I'd definitely recommend it, specially in the winter if you don't fancy a rough Channel crossing!. The people in the car infront of us not only were in the Travel Inn, but were also going to Disneyland and came from Hartlepool!!
Our time in Disneyland was well spent, eating all things bad for you and going on "It's a small world" and the Teacups among other things. It was packed and freezing. We spent the New Year in our hotel (the Dream
Castle) with lots of other Brits and there were fireworks. Dan got a bit upset when he lost his newly acquired Lightening McQueen but was thrilled when some boys returned it to him and Alice wore her new Sleeping Beauty dress. Both managed to make it to midnight and even gave us a lie in until 8.15 am the next day! New Year's Day was also spent in Disneyland and we managed another go on "It's a 
small world" and the Teacups and a Lightning McQueen ride in Walt Disney Studios - although that was a bit too much like the Waltzers for my liking. We even managed to stand still long enough to see the "Once upon a Dream" parade which included Santa and his (real) reindeer (including Dave!).We had a lovely (although very cold) time. In addition, my mum's predictive text gave a new word that we've decided to try to get in the dictionary - poinsigog (should have been smashing - no idea how it came up with that one). So one could say we had a "poinsigog" time and look forward to going again soon but probably in the summer time and definitely when Dan is a little older and doesn't want to be carried all the time (despite us having his stroller with us)
Now it's back to the harsh reality of everyday life and having to think about less fun matters such as work :o(
