The full itinerary will be published in due course but here is an example of what you might expect the trip to be like:

​

Day 1 - Travel Day

Meet the coaches early morning in a central Stockport location, load up, wave goodbye and begin our journey to the Magical Kingdom of Disneyland Paris. We will likely need to stop a couple of times on our route to our crossing point, either the tunnel or ferry so participants can get breakfast or lunch on the way (or eat their packed lunches).

​

Once we have crossed the channel it is approximately 4 hours journey time, likely with a stop half way before we spot the water tower or the castle. We will head straight to our hotel though to sort out rooms and our evening meal.  If there is time we may head into the Disney Village to soak up the atmosphere before bed which will be as early as we can manage.

​

Day 2 - Park Day

Breakfast will likely be quite early so we can spend as long in the parks as possible. Hopefully the young people have listened to the leaders and got a good nights sleep!  After checking that we have brought with us what we need (coat, bag, emergency phone number) we will get on the coach and travel down to the village entrance.  This is only a short journey before a long day of fun begins. 

 

First to the security check point where we will have bags scanned and metal detectors to pass through, then to the park gate where leaders will swipe through the participants and retain their tickets, then to our first meeting point.

We will have lunch somewhere in the park. Everyone will need to bring some money with them to buy their lunch either from the train station as we enter the park, or from a kiosk inside the park itself.

 

Everyone should bring a water bottle so it can be refilled for free all over the parks and is much less expensive than the drinks in shops and cafes.

 

Depending on when and where the evening meal is, we will arrange to meet up in our groups before hand to watch the parade or head off to the restaurant and return to watch the fireworks. 

​

The Parks close during the fireworks so we will again meet up before heading back to the hotel for probably a fairly late night so it is bed time when we get back!

​

Day 3 - Parks Again

​Everyone will pack their kit before breakfast for it to be loaded into the coach first thing in the morning.

​

Another early breakfast can be expected as well as the pre-departure checks of "have you got..." before taking the coach down and heading through the gates.

 

Again parade of fireworks will be arranged dependent on what we managed the day before. Of course there is a chance to do some shopping in the Disney village on both days too - it can be expensive though so you may want to discuss what sensible purchases would be with your young people before sending them.

​

After the park closes, we will wave goodbye to Mickey and friends and begin our long journey home dreaming about the good times we've had whilst catching some sleep on the coach.

​​

Day 4 - Arriving home

Having crossed back into the UK, we will stop and have breakfast before the remainder of our journey back to Stockport.

​

We will meet parents at the same central meeting point where everyone can be collected and share their own magical stories of their adventures!
