Rachel's Next Adventure

I don't know if I mentioned them last year, but we had a couple of problems with our hotel at Disneyland Paris back in February and November. So back at the end of last year I emailed them and told them what issues we had had, and that I thought they might want to know so they can fix them in the major refurb the Cheyenne Hotel is getting at the moment. I didn't really expect a reply but about a month ago they got back to me and offered me a free stay at the Santa Fe for the same amount of time as my November trip. Overjoyed and not really believing it I had my mother read over the email, and it was right! I filled in the form and sent it back, then this morning they got back to me and confirmed that I now have a hotel & ticket booking for August 2017! We had already been pricing up for August 2017 for the 25th Anniversary and I am overjoyed that Disney have given us our stay for free, especially as the hotel is coming up at over £1000 for the three ni...

I've been to Disneyland Paris nine times now and with my tenth visit all booked up for June I thought I would share with you all my guide to booking a trip to Disneyland Resort Paris! Let's start with flights! Obviously, these depend on where you live as now if you fly from Newcastle you can only fly with Air France if you want to fly direct as Easy Jet cancelled the route a few years ago. Flights are something you're going to have to search around for to get the best price and flight time you can, Air France obviously has the best range of flight times, but can be a little more expensive than say, Easy Jet but it all depends on how far in advance you book - the first time we booked Air France it was because the times were a lot better than with Easy Jet and they were cheaper! Just because its a budget airline, it doesn't automatically make it the cheapest! You can use websites like  Sky Scanner  to find out who flies from your airport to Paris, but from then I r...

This is going to be a big picture heavy post! I was going to write a bit about everything we bought but i've decided just to leave this as a photo post this time, there isn't really much to say about each thing really, they're either food, pyjamas or magnets for the most part!

Zootropolis (Zootopia) So Rachel and I went to see a movie about a rabbit for easter… We start off with our protagonist Judy Hopps (Guess what animal she is) giving a play about the history of animals which sets the scene for the movie pretty well, fast forward and she becomes the first bunny Police Officer, much to the dismay of her parents. Her father then warns her of carnivores, especially foxes, and gives her some fox-repellant. She gets put on parking duty and meets a fox named Nick Wilde (who looks remarkably like Robin Hood from the Disney animated movie from the 70’s) and his ‘baby’, whom she buys an elephant popsicle but then realises she’s been hustled when she sees them melting the giant elephant popsicle and re-freezing it to sell to mice at a vast profit. Judy hustles the fox into helping her solve a missing person crime. This results in them bonding over a period of time and growing to trust each other. She later breaks this trust when she inadver...

We're back from our trip to Prague, you may have already seen our daily trip report updates we posted a few days after we got back. We stayed at the Best Western City Hotel Moran from March 13th-17th and we really didn't have any problems with the hotel - well, we had one, but it wasn't a big deal, i'll explain that later on. The hotel is really well located, its just a few minutes walk from the Karlovo Námestí Metro station and around 10-15min walk from the I.P. Pavlova Metro Station, making it easy for you to get around, theres also a tram stop opposite the Karlovo Námestí Station if riding a tram is on your to do list for your trip. Breakfast was included in our hotel price, although personally I didn't go down for it, but my fiancé did, he said there was a range of breads, sausages, bacon, eggs, fruit and cereal. The hotel has a small 24 hour mini market available by reception, its a little higher priced than you'd find outside of the hotel,...

Well, its that time of year again! I managed to get the Sunday of Newcastle Film & Comic Con off work so I picked us up a couple of early entry tickets, although we didn't aim to get there until 10am. I don't know if you saw my post from last year, but you can check that out over here , it's in a bit more detail than this year's post is going to be. This year, I think we spent a total of around 40 minutes in the arena. As we were arriving at 10am there were already people leaving. The place just lacked atmosphere, it could have been because the regular ticket holders hadn't been allowed in yet, but its more likely down to poor planning as the event was held over 'derby weekend'. Basically, on the Sunday the regions biggest sporting event was being held in Newcastle, so first there was a lot of people who wanted to watch the football rather than do to the convention, so you lost a chunk of people there, and then as the football match was being h...
