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!!

Good tip on the DVD player - we're facing a long drive from North Yorks to Cornwall this summer, so may investigate these!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I hope it will make the drive nice and calm:)
DeleteWow this sounds great,looking forward to seeing your holiday pictures :) Thanks for linking up to welcome to the weekend hop...
ReplyDeleteIn 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
ReplyDeleteWhere 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.
We're staying at the Santa fe Hotel. Thanks for your advise about the Mickey Mouse Cafe, we're defo looking to book one of our meals there:)
DeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip!
Anna from Turin
Thank you Anna:)
DeleteThey're already using their little dvd players with headphones. Both wanted to try them before we leave:)
Have a great sunday:)
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!
ReplyDeleteAgree, anything to keep them happy and me sane is a good choice:) Lollipops are fantastic too, the take long to eat:)
DeleteAnd thanks, we're so excited to soon meet the Disney charactors:)
