Getting there :)

After what felt like absolutely forever waiting for my exam results - I was literally counting the days towards the end - it was almost time and we were going to Disneyland Paris as well so I could get a Disney fix :)

I had lots to do at work and so Monday - Wednesday I was in the office as soon as the building opened to try and get everything done :(

3pm Wednesday and I was finally done so I could leave and go get ready. We dropped off the dog at kennels, packed and tidied the house and then set off for the airport.

We stopped to grab a bite to eat on the way and arrived at the hotel at about 8.

We went to bed around 10 with my phone next to the bed (so I could check my emails in the night.)

Rob woke me up around 1.45 (as I had told him to do if he woke up) and no email had arrived :(

Woke up again around 4am and checked again - the email had arrived! Opened it up to find that I had managed to pass all three exams much to my surprise! So back to sleep for the rest of the night.

Got up in the morning and checked out, we had expected to pay £7.50 for parking but the guy at reception told us not to bother - bonus!

Parked at Heathrow in the business parking and took a Heathrow pod to the terminal - so fun!

Quickly through security and off to get some breakfast before the flight.

We boarded and then the Captain announced that we weren't going anywhere soon as air traffic control had been landing flights on both runways which had caused a backlog :(

Eventually, we got airborne and actually only landed 15 mins late at Paris. We got our TGV to DLP and then took a shuttle bus to the hotel.

Check-in was quick and easy, we dropped off our bags and then headed to the parks to see if we could find the rest of the family (their train had arrived a couple of hours earlier).

We went into Walt Disney Studios and took a quick ride on Tower of Terror, before taking a look for the family in the Toy Story area.

Didn't find them so had a go on the remote control car ride - really fun!

Almost park closing time so we had another go on the Tower of Terror. We had been trying to call the parents but none of their phones were switched on!

We had a walk around the Disney village and they eventually called to say that they were back in their room and were going to eat at the hotel as the children were cold.

So, we went and had dinner in the rainforest cafe! It was a little expensive but a nice meal.

Back to the hotel and we found the others just heading back to their rooms. We had a drink in the bar with Rob's parents and then off to bed so that we were all up bright and early for breakfast at Cafe Mickey's.
