This is our second visit for the Christmas Season. We had rain for the majority of the week, got very wet, very cold, but did it dampen our spirits? NO!! Not one bit. It was just as magical this time as two years ago when we had beautiful clear skies and frosty nights and mornings.

We went a week later (30th November – 4th December) and the difference in the crowds and queues was a bit of a shock, will definately go earlier again next time. The parade was the best we’ve seen, the floats were beautiful, the scents lovely, the timing of the music seemed a bit out, didn’t always seem to match the float we were looking at, but we were impressed. Only complaint was the absence of Santa’s reindeer and we really missed Chant C’est Noel, thought that would have been better than the ‘bits’ that were played. However, the full Chant C’est Noel was played after the enchanted Candleabration, that was a lovely surprise and certainly seemed to go down well with the crowds, got them all clapping and singing. Once again Disney managed to make the Christmas Season spectacular!

Our advise to anybody going at this time of year is take plenty of warm clothes, good waterproof shoes and coats and have plenty of warm drinks, especially when waiting for the parades.
