Highs
Dreams - What can you say that hasn't been said before, the show is absolutely stunning & watching online doesn't do it any justice. Saw this twice (would've been three times but we dead on our feet one night lol), the first time there was no fire eruptions but the second time there was. Is it different midweek to weekends as the first time we watched it was Wednesday & the second was on Friday.
Princess Pavillion - Totally worth the waiting time as my DD met her favourite princess Rapunzel. The interaction was outstanding & really made her holiday complete.
CMs - Everyone we spoke to was fantastic & friendly
Cowboy Cookout Tea Party - Excellent! Has overtaken Cafe Mickey as the best place to meet characters in my opinion. We was there on Friday (8th) and all the characters were on top form & very funny interacting with all the people in the restaurant. Woody was following people around copying all their actions when carrying food & drinks, Goofy had the children up doing line dancing. Absolutely fantastic.
Eurotunnel - This was our first time driving & found the experience very easy apart from the sat nav having a bit of a funny turn around Charles De Gaulle airport as it told me to 'Keep left & turn right' which was a bit confursing but got there in the end
Lows
Random Characters - During our trip we saw no random characters walking round the parks or in their cars (Mickey in Disneyland Park & Donald in Studios). I remeber a few years back that you could bump into Chip & Dale, Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee, Jafar, Genie, Baloo etc etc just wandering around the parks but now apart from the official meet & greets we saw nobody else. Even the official meet & greets some of them didn't have a 'proper' photographer there.
Cafe Mickey - What a shame this place has become so poor. Our children really used to enjoy the buffet dessert there helping themselves but that has gone now. Also back in the old days the staff would all get involved singing & dancing to Aretha Franklin, but that also doesn't happen any more. We place our order & everything came out together apart from my wifes whose was forgotten, after asking a waitress another meal was eventually brought out but no mention of a sorry. Finally what has happened to all the characters, during our meal the characters came out twice & in total there was only 4 different ones (Mickey, Goofy, Eeyore & Tigger). We saw a number of birthday cakes come out along with the music etc but on each occassion only one character came to the table. It's a shame as when we had been previously there was so many more characters & variety and all of them were round the birthday tables at once. It just wasn't the same anymore & I doubt we would go back there again.
Seems that my lows are quite large but all in all we had a great time & not even the 'changeable' weather could put a dampner on the trip

Can't wait to see Dreams now, everyone seems to agree it is very, very good 
) as the characters are amazing and are all over you. I had a massive 40th badge on at the time & when the characters saw it they were brilliant.
We always loved it yet haven't been since November so I'm quite curious as to what we'll think of it now, I've booked lunch there the 26th of July.
