2 weeks and we're off to Disneyland.

As from tomorrow morning at 8am, there's excactly 2 weeks untill we start driving towards Disneyland. Thought it might be a good idea to invest in a dvd player for the car. It's a long drive down to Paris. I easily convinced myself we could not live without these portable dvd players, they don't just play dvd's they also play CD's so really no excuse not to get them, eh!? Føtex had them on offer so off the daddy went! He got one in pink for the princess and a black one for the little man. Both with a strap that attach it to the front seat and headphones so they can watch their film in peace and we can be spared the sound.
Also, they don't always want to watch the same film. Well, we'll not have to have that argument now will we! Of course, another one could start instead as suddenly they have to watch the same film just because.... No, not even that can ruin my excitement. 2 weeks woop woop, I can't wait!!

  3. In January, we celebrated my toddler's second birthday there!!! It was 40 minutes by car ( we could have take the train too) and he slept all the way. It's easy, we live half of the time in Paris lol
    Where will you stay? If it's your first time, I recommend you The "Mickey Mouse Café" (it's in Disneyland Village), I admit, it's not a 3 stars restaurant but you could meet Mickey Mouse Play House characters and take some pictures with them! May I should find you the number because you might have to reserve for lunch or dinner.

  4. The portable DVD player is a great investment. We drive 16 hrs from Turin to Southern Italy every year (we stop overnight to rest) and the DVD player keeps my son entertained for most of the trip. We don't have a tv in the house in Calabria so the DVD replaces the missed cartoons.

    Have a great trip!

  5. Miss G has her own iPad (long story, OH got given it from work, we cannot sell it, neither of us wanted to sell our own etc) and it has been a huge saviour so many times! We were on a flight for 10 hours just last week and it was bliss to have it. Smart parenting on your part, I say. anything that saves you sanity is a go in my opinion. Enjoy EuroDisney!
