Disneyland Paris 20th Anniversary Trip Thoughts: VIP Fastpass
Just two and a half weeks before we were due to leave for Disneyland Paris, I got an email from the Shareholders Club, offering me a free VIP Fastpass ticket to celebrate the 20th Anniversary.

Disneyland Paris 20th Anniversary Trip Thoughts: Dreams
There’s no doubt that one of the most anticipated experiences on our recent trip to Disneyland Paris was the jewel in the 20th Anniversary crown; Dreams. Before we arrived I did worry that being shown after the park closed at 10.30pm maybe too late for our little boy to cope with, at just 4 years old. However, come 9.30pm on our first day and my son was more active than either my wife or I. We took a break from all the activities on offer in the park and had some…

Sunday 1st April 2012 6.30am, time to leave my hometown for my fifteenth trip to Disneyland Paris!
