hello all,
This is my first post here so please be gentle with me.
Me (26) DH (27) & DD (2 1/2) will be going to DLP for our first time in June. Please can someone reassure me I've not made a terrible mistake!!.
I've been to Florida several times before & the last time I went was Sept 11th 2001 (taking DH for the first time, DD wasn't around then) We both LOVE Disney. I think we've brain washed our DD & she asks to look at photos daily & talks about Mickey mouse all the time.
Now my problem........ I went to DLP when I was 14 or 15 - some 10+ years ago with the school (I was on a French exchange), It was the WORST experience of my life!! The whole French exchange was. I stayed with an awful family, They beat their children with whips, made me eat the most awful food (cows toung being the most memorable but there were others). I was woken one night by the father who stood over me while I was in bed - nothing happened but it was VERY scary & just all in all it was not a good experience.
As for DLP all I remember of it was going round & round big thunder mountain I think we also went on the haunted mansion & that was it! - it was really naff (I'm not a coaster fan so its not that) just there didn't seem much there.
Now life goes on, I'm happily married with the most gorgeous daughter (she's a child model so I can say that). I'm a stay at home mum so we are not as flush as we once were - we decided we needed a Disney fix but couldn't afford Florida. So have booked DLP for June.
Were my past experiences just bad luck? Have things improved in the parks? I know there is another park and we are a few years on so I'm praying things are better there. Also is it child friendly? I know Florida is, but this is France we are talking about.....
Anyone have any positive words for me....please say I've not made a huge mistake.
Thanks if you've got this far - I didn't expect it to turn out this long!!!!
