we are back, van drained and in storage and just packing stuff away
terry it was a real pleasure to spend time with you and your family over the new year and what a place to do it , i think spencer would have come home with you as got rarther attached to the boys , good job nicky drinks jd , how is the dinasor egg going
interesting !!! drive back through the snow , will post pics as soon as downloaded them
we hit snow on m25 as well
davidejm caught up with us friday afternoon and met errpaul briefly friday evening but were just putting spencer to bed so a bit short on time , nice to meet you both and hopefully tie up earlier next time for a chat and drink
we ran fine on 1 x 13kg propane bottle with lots left , showers only on in the day and not evenings or early morning
honda ran as expected ( quiet and reliable ) terry has a b&q genny that started and ran admarably and quieter than a kippor , maybe this is the way forward

Hi guys. We got back safe and sound on Saturday evening despite a bit of a false start with the van battery going flat and not starting the van! Jumped off the leisure batteryin the end and no problems since - turns out we'd switched the 12v power over to the 'car' battery and we used it ot watch TV and power up the lights in the morning 
Good to meet up with you Robin, sorry we didn't see anyone else but as you said, maybe later in the year.
Our children definately enjoyed the trip though we were a bit travel weary having only landed in the UK from Xmas in the sun the day before driving to Disney.
Happy New Year to all funsters and we must work out a way to meet up in 2010.
David & (ever growing) family

This is my first post on this site - finally plucked up the courage to chip in! We took delivery of the new MH just before xmas and cannot wait for an opportunity to get out for the first time! We have been tugging for years and have made the 'natural' progression!!
This thread has me captivated - we love all things Disney, we just know that we are going to love the MH - and all of this in my favorite place - France! We have been to DLP several times but always in the (very expensive) hotels. The chance to combine a quick Disney fix with a french trip is very appealing.
I'm sorry if I missed it earlier but can anyone please give me details about the parking? We also have 2 dogs - does anyone have experience of putting them in the kennels for the day so that they can visit the parks or go into Paris? Any information would be appreciated.
I must now get myself over to the 'introductions bit' to introduce myself - better late than never!

We got back late last night after stopping at the in-laws for dinner.
We stayed in Dover on the way back after getting a very late ferry. We stopped just past Marine Parade which is free between 1800 - 0900 and is then charged at 80p per hour every day inc Sun and bank hols. The good thing is that you can pay the night before...for example we arrived at around 0330, and paid our money which kicked in at 0900. So our £2.40 took us until 1200hrs.
Disney was awesome as always and we didn't wanna come home, and actually left later than planned, meaning I had to go on to the tolls part way to be able to make up time and make the ferry, (which we only just caught).
Our van is below 3.5 t so thought toll would be at class 1 car rate, but as it's over 2m high it is class 2 and so around 50% more than expected.....ah well.
Van hasn't made it onto the driveway yet as been feeling unwell and this would require defrosting and moving 2 cars 1st. Means the van is gonne be all frozen up again
We used 2 6kg bottles of gas and started the 3rd on the last day. So 3 1/2 days out of 6kg. Didn't cook in the van but kept the heating on low 24/7. Oh...and boiler broke (won't ignite) after 2 days, which wasn't exactly ideal
Managed to speak to Robin briefly but it was difficult to catch people as we didn't take laptop.
We parked towards the front end of the car prk right next to the toilet block....and next to smeone that thought that starting their gennie at 1am was reasonable!!! They did switch it off when asked though.
Our gennie was not exactly great and although it topped up he batteries it kept tripping out when I plugged anything in so not happy with it.....no ideawhat the problem was.
All in all though a great holiday and lots of money saved from the usual stay in a hotel so well happy and looking forward to the next trip there.:thumb::thumb:

The last time I was there on New Year's Eve, crowd control and security were woefully inadequate, the resort was hopelessly overcrowded, in part with people I'd rather not meet, and my friend passed out from the crowding in Disney Village and their security people did nothing (they did not appear to have any paramedics on duty).
Perhaps the situation has changed, but I never go to Disneyland Paris on New Year's Eve or other holidays that attract the wrong kind of crowd from the 'burbs.

We did make it and taking your advice we called into the kennels at Disney and they were very helpful. They didn't have the information on hand but took the trouble to find it out for us. VERY impressed :thumb:
I'll get the vets name from the motorhome next time I'm in it and report back more fully when i get the time.
Sorry we didn't bump into anyone but didn't realise there would be quite so many motorhomes and didn't take the laptop to log into the forum

HI Tandy
Were did you park your rv in the car park
We were about 6 rows back from the toilet/shower building in between 2 other rv's.
A great idea and we wouldn't have thought of going if it hadn't been for your posting.:thumb:
Thanks......where are you planning to go next?
