Disneyland Paris


Its was cold at Disneyland and the queues were just too long. As always a bit of a rip off with about 5 shops to every ride and no heating for the queues and little shelter from the rain for those with buggies. Parade was good though and the kids loved the "Small World" and "Back Lot Tour" as ever :-)


George loves "Cars" like his old Dad!

Disneyland Camper Parking (Crap facilities too!)

Morzine Ski Break


We are just back from a trip to Morzine in the French Alps. We set off on boxing day and headed down to dover and a P&O ferry then Calais to Reims before stopping for the night.
Next day we drove to the valley below Morzine and arrange a pitch at a site only 1k from the main Plenny lift. Great snow and skiing first day with a fab lunch in Morzine to top off a great day.
Woke up next day to torrential rain but skied anyway and got drenched quite quickly! More rain next day so we decided to give up and head for Paris and Disneyland!
Weather at Disney was ultra cold and queues very long so after six hours of keeping the kids dry and happy we retreated to the van for New Years Eve.
Next day we returned home via Calais and were happy to be back to our warm and comfy house!
PS: We checked the Morzine weather on our return to fins the thick snow had returned :-(



When it snowed it really snowed!

A view past the Hotel we stayed at last February to the Plenny slopes beyond.
