Fáilte chuig mo PTR!
And now back to English! I know some will still be baffled as my title is in Irish but it translates to Adventures with Auntie Nay - Patricks Week 2015!
I'm back with a brand new PTR for our next trip and here are all the lovely details -

How
Donald Ducks Wife messaged me one evening about cheap rates being out for March months back and by the next day we had both booked to stay at the Cheyenne Delighted! DLP with my favourite people.
Then came the now customary booking shuffling which saw me cancel a TA booking, change it to directly through Disney and change our onsite hotel and add a night before! And DDW made some similar changes too!
My sister Elaine (aka Nay or Naynee) recently started a new job and moved home so we now get to see her loads and one day we were nattering about DLP and I said well we do have room for one more so we looked at flights which were only reasonable with another airline, made a plan and Nay was booked to come with us by the end of that day! Elaine is flying with Aer Lingus as it was over 200 cheaper than Air France! Eek! But her flight to Paris is nice and early so we can make the most of our first day and fly home on the Friday at similar times so we can come home together.
Coincidentally Elaine is getting a bus to the airport Monday at 2am and our parents will be getting off the same bus coming from a holiday in Spain!
When
Sunday March 15th to Friday March 20th so we will catch the St Patricks Day celebrations and Swing into Spring!
Where
Sunday March 15th
Our first night for myself, Jemma and James will be offsite at the Kyriad
Monday March 16th to Friday 20th
We move onsite to the Newport Bay Club. I am so excited to see its makeover and hopefully stay in one of the beautiful new rooms! Needless to say there will be an email sent begging for the same! This is also the day that Naynee joins us
The Cast
And so I know at this stage there is probably no need for introductions but I like to have things just so!
Elaine
aka my big sister, Auntie Nay, Naynee
2nd visit to DLP with the first being when my niece and nephew were tots back in the late 90s. Nay previously stayed at the Cheyenne and is looking forward to seeing the Newport after I showed her photos of its refurb.
Looking forward to seeing WDS for the first time and is possibly going to try BTM following an incident of chickening on her last visit! She is also looking forward to a few days off as work is mental at the moment!
I'll have to come back with her favourites!
Kizzy
Me, aka little sis, mommy, trip planner
11th trip, hopefully I will enjoy this way more than the last one! Very excited to be staying at NPB.
Looking forward to spending some family time at DLP, seeing our friends Ruth and Jonah, showing Naynee all the sights and fingers crossed for an equally amazing Swing into Spring as last years blew us away!
My favourite film is Up and character is Pluto. My favourite ride is BTM in the dark!
Jemma
My 9 year old daughter, aka Jem
8th trip, is over the moon at the prospects of a swimming pool!
Looking forward to plenty more spins on BTM and ToT and spending St Patricks Day at DLP. She is also certain that the Lucky Nugget cannot be skipped!
Her favourite film is Frozen, favourite character is Elsa and ride is ToT.
James
My soon to be 6 year old son, aka Jim, Jimmy.
6th trip, is keen to have the window seat on the plane and loves flying.
Looking forward to going to Stitch Live again and seeing the stunt show and wants to have lunch in Blockbuster Cafe as he loves Iron Man and POTC.
His favourite film is Spiderman, favourite character is Pluto and ride is BTM.
The Plan
Sunday
Myself and the kids will leave Dublin with Air France on March 15th and should arrive at the Kyriad around 4pm so we are in two minds about whether to pick up some cheap AP friends and family tickets at 29 each or just mooch about the Village for the evening. The DL Parc is open late so it could be worthwhile but we will discuss at a later date.
Monday
We will be up early for check out, check in and hopefully we can catch EMH before meeting Naynee at about 10am back at the hotel. Then its adventure time!
Tuesday - Thursday
Fun times
Friday
We leave DLP around 1pm so we can squeeze in more fun and final spins on our favourites.
To Do List
Make Elaine apply for her new passport!
Book car parking at the airport
Call RS Transport to pay for our journeys
Give Nay some park maps and have a chat about meals
Make a meal plan and reservations
Alter Autograph books as our plans have changed
Make a Disney CD for the car
Pay off our balance on our hotel
Pack
Thanks for reading along! There will be plenty more planning over the next two and a bit months!
