so today I'm really excited to be
00:34
finally sharing a video of you guys all
00:36
about our recent trips to Disneyland
00:37
Paris because as some of you might know
00:39
this was a really special trip for us
00:41
once in a lifetime thing because we
00:43
actually stayed at club level at the
00:45
Disneyland Hotel which is called a
00:47
castle club now some of you might have
00:48
heard of Casa club before some of you
00:50
might not so just to give you a bit of
00:51
an overview basically at the Disneyland
00:54
Hotel which is the pink hotel over the
00:56
entrance to the park you can stay at
00:58
club level which is called castle club
00:59
this is located kind of it sits up
01:03
inside the hotel so if you are at
01:05
inventions or Cafe Fantasia and you look
01:08
up you'll see a couple of floors above
01:10
you and that is where castle club is
01:12
kind of in the centre of the hotel and
01:14
you actually need to use a special lift
01:16
access Castle Club you can't go up by
01:18
the stairs or anything like that
01:20
it's so it's quite sort of set apart
01:21
from the rest of the hotel and it comes
01:23
with lots and lots of different sort of
01:24
benefits and perks for the guests which
01:27
I thought I'd go through here very
01:28
briefly just to give you an overview of
01:30
what you can expect if you're going to
01:32
stay at the castle Club and then I will
01:34
move on to sort of go through each of
01:35
those things from my point of view give
01:38
a little review sort of let you know
01:39
what we thought about it how we use
01:41
these benefits and how it affected our
01:42
holiday how it improved our experience
01:44
and then also right at the end of the
01:46
video I have a little treat because I
01:49
filmed some really special footage well
01:50
I think it's special I hope you do too
01:52
but it's something you don't see every
01:54
day
01:55
so do make sure that you stay right onto
01:57
the end so that you can see it because
01:58
yeah I enjoyed filming it and I hope you
02:00
enjoy watching it anyway what I've done
02:02
is as usual I have made a list and I
02:05
will be checking it twice because I want
02:07
to make sure that I don't leave off any
02:08
Disney details because as always there's
02:11
a lot to take on board there's a lot to
02:12
think
02:13
out so yes let's get stuck in so on the
02:16
list here of the benefits that you get
02:17
at the castle club first of all we have
02:19
an unlimited VIP Fastpass which is
02:21
amazing you also get a character
02:24
breakfast every single day in the castle
02:26
club lounge you have afternoon tea
02:29
served daily again this is in the castle
02:31
club lounge which by the way I will
02:33
insert some footage a bit later on we
02:34
have a perfect view of the castle and
02:37
the part laid out in front of you so it
02:38
couldn't be more special
02:40
you also have unlimited hot and cold
02:42
drinks all day so you can go back to the
02:45
the lounge sit down relax and have a
02:47
nice refreshing or warming drink and
02:49
it's table service as well which is
02:51
really nice and then also you have as I
02:53
mentioned lifts which will take you
02:55
straight down to the park gates from the
02:58
castle Club which is pretty special and
03:00
then also they have something we didn't
03:01
use which is a pillow menu so if it
03:04
sounds a bit like a Goldilocks situation
03:06
but if you like to have a really sort of
03:08
firm pillow or a very very soft pillow
03:10
or something in between then you can
03:12
actually choose a specific pillow via
03:14
the concierge and they will deliver it
03:15
to your room which I can imagine would
03:17
be really handy if you've been carrying
03:19
around a big backpack all day and then
03:21
also again we didn't use this but you
03:22
have free DVD rental included as well so
03:25
you can order up your favorite Disney
03:27
movie cozy on up in your castle club
03:29
room and just enjoy being surrounded and
03:32
totally immersed in your Disney
03:34
experience and also one of the really
03:37
really big exciting things about staying
03:39
at the castle Club is that if you want
03:41
to watch illuminations but it's a little
03:43
bit cold or you've got little ones or
03:45
you don't really want to be stood
03:46
outside queueing for ages maybe it's
03:48
raining you can actually retire back to
03:50
the castle club lounge pull up a very
03:53
very comfy chair order whichever soft
03:56
drink hot or cold you would like or
03:58
maybe a cocktail although of course you
03:59
have to pay extra for that and watch
04:01
illuminations because they will dim the
04:03
lights in the castle club lounge and
04:05
actually pipe in the soundtrack from the
04:07
fireworks show we did this and it was
04:09
amazing anyway there you go those are
04:11
the main benefits that you get staying
04:13
at the castle Club what I'll do you now
04:16
is give you my point of view on them so
04:18
the first Castle Club benefit I'm going
04:20
to talk to you guys about is the VIP
04:21
Fast Pass
04:22
which I love now if you've watched any
04:25
of the other videos in my
04:26
to plan your practically perfect
04:27
Disneyland Paris playlist you'll have
04:29
heard me talk about the Fastpass system
04:31
at Disneyland Paris I have created a
04:33
whole video all about this which of
04:34
course I will link below in the show
04:36
notes but just to give you a brief
04:38
overview anyone visiting Disneyland
04:41
Paris can use the Fastpass system which
04:43
is a way of booking a slot later on in
04:45
the day on the most popular rides so the
04:47
even if the park is really really busy
04:48
you know that later on you can jump on
04:50
your favorite right now anyone visiting
04:52
Disneyland Paris can use this so whether
04:54
you're staying on site in a Disney hotel
04:56
whether you're staying off-site whether
04:58
you have an annual pass or whether
04:59
you're visiting for the day you can scan
05:01
your ticket and actually be given a
05:03
little appointment card to come back
05:04
later on in the day and hop on your
05:06
favorite ride now if you're staying at
05:08
club level at selected disney hotels
05:10
such as the golden forest Club at
05:11
Sequoia Lodge or compass club at Newport
05:14
Bay you will actually be given a hotel
05:16
at Fast Pass as well what this is is
05:18
basically sort of an extra Fast Pass a
05:20
one-time-use Fast Pass per day per
05:23
person that you can keep and use during
05:25
the day so if you've maybe got a fast
05:27
path booked for later on on Petes Pan's
05:30
flight but you want to hop on Terra
05:32
Terra bit sooner then you can actually
05:34
use this Hotel Fast Pass and jump on it
05:36
straight away however there are the
05:38
restrictions that you can only use it
05:39
once per day but also you can't use it
05:42
between the hours of 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. I
05:44
believe from memory so there are slight
05:46
restrictions in place but they're still
05:47
really really useful to use alongside
05:50
the traditional Fast Pass system to
05:51
really maximize your time in the parks
05:53
now if you're staying in a suite that
05:56
selective Disney hotels such as the coy
05:58
lodge or Newport Bay then you will get a
06:00
VIP Fast Pass and this is also what you
06:03
get when you're staying at the castle
06:04
club at the Disneyland Hotel now the VIP
06:07
Fast Pass means that you can hop on any
06:09
of those rides with a Fast Pass queue
06:11
without having to queue in the long
06:13
queue without having to scan your ticket
06:15
you just go straight to the Fast Pass
06:16
queue which is often a lot quicker if
06:19
there's even a queue there at all which
06:21
is really really handy but the other
06:23
really great thing about it as well as
06:25
being able to use it over and over and
06:27
over again it's not like a single-use
06:28
thing you can ride Terra Terra ten times
06:31
in a row if you want to you know there's
06:33
no limit that's really great but also
06:34
there's no time limits so even
06:37
between one and four during the busiest
06:39
times of the day you can still use this
06:41
fast pass so even if there's a massive
06:44
queue for your favorite rides you can
06:45
just get on and on and on and really
06:47
make the most of your time we really
06:49
enjoyed using this VIP fast pass one
06:52
time notably on our last day because it
06:54
was quite busy when we were there but on
06:56
our last day all my goodness it was so
07:00
so busy I think it's the busiest I have
07:02
ever seen at the park
07:03
it was rammed but because we have the
07:06
VIP fast pass it meant we could still
07:08
sort of make a beeline for the rides
07:09
that we wanted to experience so for
07:11
example we really wanted to go on Big
07:13
Thunder Mountain lots and lots and lots
07:14
because it's our favorite the queue time
07:16
was like an hour and a half it was so
07:18
long I'd never seen the queue that long
07:20
but we were we were able to sort of hop
07:22
on it really quickly and then go on it a
07:24
few more times if we wanted to without
07:26
having to worry so that was really
07:27
really nice and it was also nice on a
07:29
really busy day to know that even if it
07:32
did feel like there were queues kind of
07:33
left right and center there was always a
07:35
way that we could get on ride a bit
07:36
quicker so it was really nice just to
07:38
have that ready to go that bit of peace
07:40
of mind to really make the most of our
07:41
Disney days so the next benefit I'm
07:43
going to talk about is the character
07:45
breakfast in the castle club lounge now
07:47
we were actually extremely lucky because
07:49
you can have your breakfast in the main
07:50
castle club lounge which has stunning
07:52
views of the park the food is right
07:54
there the buffet food is amazing by the
07:56
way and the characters come and go and
07:58
you meet them which is wonderful however
08:00
we were really lucky because there's a
08:02
room to the right of the castle club
08:05
lounge and it's actually the founders
08:07
club library I believe it's called
08:08
founders club and each morning we were
08:10
there that's where we had breakfast I
08:12
loved having our breakfast in there
08:14
because we have the same gorgeous view
08:16
of the castle and the park that it felt
08:18
a little bit more formal I think it's
08:20
because it was dark wood everywhere you
08:22
had all the books on the shelves sort of
08:24
globe in the corner it just had a really
08:27
really special feel to it which just was
08:29
the perfect setting some magical
08:31
memories now just to give you an idea I
08:33
have been lucky enough to do quite a bit
08:35
of character dining and over our trips
08:38
over the years so on our very first trip
08:40
we ate at Cafe Mickey we have breakfast
08:42
there which is fantastic I've had
08:44
character breakfast at Plaza Gardens a
08:46
couple of times I've eaten at L'Auberge
08:48
to sundry on a few times
08:50
and been lucky enough to eat inventions
08:52
of you times as well over the years
08:54
inventions will always have my heart I
08:56
love it however the character breakfast
08:59
at castle club was just totally totally
09:01
different because even though at
09:03
inventions the characters will come in
09:05
sort of you know sign your autograph
09:07
book have some photos have a hug maybe
09:09
play around a bit maybe come and sit
09:11
with you for a little while at the
09:13
character breakfast at the castle club
09:15
it was just so so different literally
09:17
they were just come and sit at the table
09:18
at one point goofy was just stirring my
09:20
coffee for me he was trying to feed me
09:22
cake like sideways in my mouth it was
09:25
just a great fun Chip and Dale were
09:27
playing hide and seek rushing around you
09:29
know at one point they took my Queen
09:31
Ursula raised and dashed off I never
09:32
thought I was gonna see them again it
09:34
was just amazing it was amazing to have
09:36
that time with the characters to have
09:38
those moments where they come and stand
09:40
on the balcony open up the balcony
09:41
windows and just gaze at the castle with
09:43
you made such such special memories and
09:47
it was the same every day as well it
09:48
wasn't a case of sort of oh you know
09:50
there's Mickey we saw him yesterday he
09:52
would come and sit down and we'd have a
09:54
chat and talk about what we were gonna
09:55
do that day it was just really really
09:57
special and we had some really magical
09:59
moments we even saw mr. Donald Duck
10:02
finally proposed to Daisy so we were
10:04
there for that special moment and just
10:06
to give you an idea of the characters
10:08
that we were lucky enough to meet and
10:09
our character breakfast we met she said
10:11
looking down Mickey Minnie Donald Daisy
10:15
goofy Pluto chip Dale any ore and when I
10:19
say we met them it wasn't like we met
10:20
them once we met them multiple times
10:22
over the duration of our stay and as I
10:25
said each time it's a case that they've
10:27
come and sit with us
10:28
they muck around they play around they'd
10:29
stand and look out the window with us it
10:31
was just lovely at one point in fact
10:33
Chip and Dale kind of followed us out
10:35
and we're going down towards our room
10:37
and we were like oh my goodness what a
10:38
wild goose chase around the Disneyland
10:39
Hotel with Chip and Dale but no it was
10:41
great great fun when the food was
10:43
amazing as well there was literally
10:45
everything you could want so there was
10:47
sort of full cook breakfast
10:49
lovely yogurt smoothies fresh fruit
10:51
pancakes waffles bacon sausages smoked
10:55
salmon everything you could want eggs
10:57
cooked to order the lot I'd always left
11:00
there absolutely stuffed the only
11:02
problem was I
11:03
focus on my food because it was just so
11:05
much fun to be had so yeah the character
11:07
breakfast was amazing and there were
11:08
memories we won't never ever forget so
11:10
next up I'm going to talk about the
11:11
afternoon tea again this is served in
11:14
the castle club lounge and I've got some
11:15
footage in just a moment which I will
11:17
insert which will show you the setting
11:19
of the castle club lounge but also the
11:21
sort of food that was available when we
11:23
were there but it was really really nice
11:25
it was lovely to have that kind of time
11:27
in the day when we knew that we'd be
11:29
heading back to the castle club lounge
11:31
sitting down having a breather having
11:34
some cold drinks hot drinks and some
11:35
lovely lovely food and it felt a really
11:38
good time of the day as well because we
11:39
were having our character breakfast
11:41
quite late in the day I'd say we were
11:43
sort of eating from maybe 9:00 to 11:00
11:45
because we didn't want to rush that
11:47
character breakfast so I'm making the
11:48
most of it and then we would sort of
11:50
have the afternoon tea so we actually
11:52
were quite for quite a lot at the time
11:54
which was fantastic because it was all
11:55
covered by the cost of the room but as I
11:57
said I will insert the footage of the
11:59
afternoon tea but just to give you an
12:00
idea there were lots and lots of lovely
12:02
little sandwiches very delicate so much
12:04
is these amazing like rolls with smoked
12:07
salmon it's like a croissant roll I ate
12:09
so many of those lots of wraps and then
12:11
you had little cakes little tartlets one
12:14
of them I can't even describe it it's
12:16
kind of like the little tartlets and it
12:18
had like a hard caramel crust banana
12:21
inside and then like a passion fruit
12:22
coulis underneath I cannot count how
12:25
many of those I ate they were amazing
12:27
anyway lots of little sort of cakes
12:29
tartlets puddings mooses that type of
12:31
thing and churros they had churros they
12:34
had hot thick chocolate sauce it was a
12:38
place of happiness so we just sat in a
12:40
tree rows for ages and also lots of sort
12:43
of other sort of breads and jams there
12:45
was plenty anyway I'll insert the clip
12:46
now so you can see all the food we
12:48
enjoyed at the afternoon tea
13:31
[Music]
13:36
you
14:07
so as well as the lovely afternoon tea
14:10
we also have the unlimited hot and cold
14:12
soft drinks these were fantastic it was
14:15
so nice to know that when they were
14:17
dashing around the park living our best
14:19
lives if we got a little bit tired we
14:21
could go back to the castle club lounge
14:23
to sit down an order and lovely drink
14:25
without having to worry about queuing up
14:27
without me to worry about paying for it
14:28
and thing like that because it's table
14:30
service so you just pull up a chair sit
14:32
down get comfy and they'll come over and
14:34
the really really attentive staff will
14:36
take your drinks order and you can just
14:38
sit and relax
14:39
so this was wonderful to know that we
14:41
could do that because the pot is so much
14:44
fun it is amazing but sometimes you do
14:46
just need to sort of sit back and take a
14:48
bit of a breather and relax but the
14:50
wonderful thing about having your hot
14:52
and cold drinks in the course of Club
14:54
Lounge is that you still have the park
14:55
laid out in front of you so you still
14:57
feel like you're in the heart of the
14:58
magic you're not leaving it at all you
15:00
can still see it all you're just taking
15:02
a little pause to have a nice hot drink
15:04
or a refreshing cold drink if we plunge
15:07
back in and enjoy it even more now
15:09
something I would say that I didn't
15:10
mention when I was talking about the
15:12
afternoon tea that with the as I said
15:14
the brunch situation in the afternoon
15:16
tea we did actually have half board
15:18
Premium as well so we would quite often
15:20
eat in the evenings we'd eat inventions
15:23
or we went to L'Auberge to sundry on
15:25
personally I don't think we needed this
15:27
by the time we'd have the brunch the
15:28
afternoon tea we'd go back to the lounge
15:30
for hot and cold drinks we just weren't
15:33
that hungry so that's something if you
15:35
are thinking of staying at a club level
15:37
maybe kind of think am I gonna need that
15:40
Dining Plan as well because you might be
15:41
able to save some money and just maybe
15:43
go for a counter service meal it's all
15:45
personal opinion and of course that will
15:47
also depend on the time of year you're
15:48
going because if you're going when it's
15:50
cold then you're going to want a nice
15:51
hot dinner
15:52
sort of keep you toasty warm and full of
15:54
energy for all your adventures but
15:56
looking back if we had our time again
15:58
wish then I probably wouldn't have got
16:01
the half ball premium dining as well
16:03
because we just didn't need it however
16:05
we did love eating inventions and
16:07
meeting the princesses at low purchase
16:08
and Rhian so swings and roundabouts I
16:11
hope you wouldn't change it after all so
16:13
a part of the castle club experience I
16:14
realized I didn't include in my list at
16:16
the top of the video is the 24-hour
16:18
concierge service now the concierge team
16:21
at the castle Club at the Disneyland
16:23
Hotel are amazing they are so friendly
16:25
so thoughtful and so attentive and they
16:28
really will do anything within their
16:29
power to make sure that your stay is
16:31
practically perfect so they're there on
16:33
hand to sort of help out with any
16:35
specific pillow requests from the pillow
16:36
menu if you've got any specific DVDs
16:39
you'd like to watch they're also there
16:41
to obviously help book taxis make dining
16:43
reservations anything at all that you
16:45
need help with they are there however in
16:48
our incinerator were a few little
16:50
requests but I wanted to make before we
16:51
went on our holiday and they were so so
16:54
helpful in kind of really facilitating
16:56
this and making sure that our stay was
16:58
as perfect as we'd hoped it would be so
17:00
just to give you an idea I think it was
17:02
a couple of weeks before we arrived I
17:03
emailed in and with a few requests first
17:06
of all although we had paid extra for a
17:08
part view room there was one particular
17:10
room I was really keeping my fingers
17:12
crossed that we might get purely because
17:14
I had seen pictures online and the
17:16
position of it was just beautiful and I
17:18
just loved the look of it so I emailed
17:20
in and said if at all possible I know it
17:22
obviously if you're busy it won't be
17:23
possible if at all possible it would be
17:25
lovely if we could have this room please
17:26
and they came back saying obviously we
17:29
can't guarantee but we will do our very
17:30
best to try and get you this room lo and
17:32
behold we arrived and we have that room
17:34
which was just so so special because it
17:37
was the room I'd seen and I talked about
17:39
so yes that was a lovely touch also as I
17:42
mentioned in the whole video we came
17:45
back with these beautiful castle club
17:47
lanyards which very very subtle
17:49
beautiful peachy color kind of match my
17:51
outfit actually and and just a very very
17:53
subtle branding on Disneyland Hotel bear
17:55
now you can't actually buy these
17:57
lanyards but as done did they leave two
17:59
of them
18:00
each Casa club room for your VIP
18:02
Fastpass now I had actually in my email
18:05
said is it possible for us to buy two
18:07
extra so that everybody in the family
18:09
has one please and when we got there lo
18:12
and behold there were four in the room
18:13
and it was a really lovely touch to make
18:15
sure that everybody had their own little
18:16
bit of the castle club to bring home as
18:18
well they also included children's size
18:21
dressing gowns which I'd request it
18:22
because if you're staying at the
18:24
Disneyland Hotel you can go up and down
18:26
to the swimming pool in your Disneyland
18:28
Hotel dressing gowns and it's really
18:30
nice to have the smaller sizes for
18:32
children so they're sort of don't trip
18:33
up
18:34
they're quite handy but it was really
18:35
nice when to put them in the room as
18:37
well but at the same time as well they
18:39
had also offered to make our dining
18:41
reservations for us they said please do
18:43
come back at this anything else we can
18:44
help you with they really you know they
18:47
were just happy to bend over backwards
18:48
to really make sure that our birthday
18:50
was practically perfect which it was
18:51
when as well as all that as well as this
18:55
real you know can do we'll make it
18:56
happen attitude they were just so
18:58
friendly so throughout our state cast
19:01
members from the team would come up and
19:03
say hello and talk to us about our day
19:04
they'd remembered what we've been
19:06
talking about the day before
19:07
even though how busy they are and and
19:10
that was just really really lovely and
19:11
then on our last day just before we left
19:14
which was bad times and you know a
19:16
different sort of members of the team
19:18
actually came up and said goodbye and
19:19
said hope we'll see you again we were
19:21
like yes that would be nice but it was
19:23
just so lovely to have that kind of
19:24
friendly personable touch it was really
19:27
nice and we did really feel like we were
19:29
guests at the castle club we felt like
19:31
we were guests enjoying their
19:32
hospitality so yeah it was really
19:34
special so the next thing I'm going to
19:35
talk about is the magical castle club
19:38
lyft feels like this is the lift of
19:40
Legends you hear people talking about it
19:42
and I have to say it is pretty special
19:44
so this lift enables you to get from the
19:47
castle club just straight down to the
19:49
park gates it's a very unassuming lift
19:52
you wouldn't necessarily see it you
19:53
wouldn't spot it unless you were really
19:55
trying to look out for it but it was
19:56
really really good it was really handy
19:59
it was a great way to access the parks
20:01
quickly um and it felt very special I'm
20:04
not gonna lie to be able to put our
20:05
little card in and for the doors to open
20:07
up and whisk us up to the castle club it
20:10
was really really special but yes I will
20:12
forever miss that
20:12
now because I want to get it all the
20:14
time so yeah it was a lovely touch and
20:17
it's also really handy because it just
20:19
literally delivers you to the gates to
20:21
the park as well so that's a nice touch
20:23
definitely so the pillow menu which I
20:25
mentioned at the top of the video we
20:26
didn't use this I was absolutely happy
20:29
with the pillows we had they were lovely
20:30
and soft and there were lots of them and
20:32
to be honest by the time I actually got
20:34
into bed I was so tired that I probably
20:36
would have noticed anyway but no the
20:38
beds were really really comfy
20:40
the duvets are nice and snuggly and the
20:41
pillows were really comfy too so they
20:43
were great but if you do want a
20:45
different pillow it's nice to know that
20:46
you can order that if you've got any
20:48
sort of um issues with the neck with
20:50
postures that might be worth keeping
20:52
mind but no we didn't use it because we
20:53
were perfectly comfortable and as we
20:55
were also you can as I mentioned rent
20:58
the DVDs for free DVD rental but for
21:00
free and they have like a DVD library
21:02
again we didn't use this because we were
21:04
just so busy we were either having
21:06
dinner inventions or scampering around
21:08
the park so we weren't watching any DVDs
21:10
if the TV was on it was safety smart
21:13
over and over again if you've stayed at
21:17
Disneyland Paris you will know the
21:18
safety smart videos they are very catchy
21:20
they're very good actually they're
21:21
really handy but um yes they were on
21:24
repeat in our room when we were there
21:25
but no we didn't use the DVD rental
21:27
service but I reckon that would be quite
21:29
handy in the winter in the colder months
21:31
you can go snuggle up and watch your
21:32
favorite Disney movie and then the next
21:35
thing which is just amazing is the fact
21:37
that you can of course watch
21:39
illuminations from the castle club
21:41
lounge every evening without having to
21:43
queue up without having to stand out in
21:45
the cold or the rain you can just cozy
21:47
up with your favorite beverage whether
21:48
it's a glow tini or a Marvel themed
21:50
cocktail which I had and just enjoy it
21:52
because they will dim the lights down
21:54
pipe in the music from illuminations and
21:57
you can cozy up and watch your favorite
21:59
fireworks show
22:00
this is amazing we did it on the first
22:02
night and it felt very very special
22:04
indeed we didn't have to get there super
22:06
early to get a window seat I think we
22:09
maybe got there 15 minutes before the
22:11
fireworks started but we had a lovely
22:12
table right in front of the window on
22:15
the rights of castle club lounge which
22:17
was lovely however for the rest of us
22:19
today we did actually watch the
22:20
fireworks from our balcony from our room
22:22
because it was lovely to be able to open
22:24
the balcony doors
22:26
watch the fireworks and hear all the
22:28
bangs and pops and sizzles of the
22:29
fireworks as well as all the sort of
22:31
music from the show because it just felt
22:34
that we were part of it a little bit
22:35
more and yeah I think it was just the
22:37
novelty of being able to stand on a
22:39
balcony in our dressing gowns and watch
22:40
the fireworks it's really really special
22:42
so those are the benefits you can expect
22:44
to enjoy as a guest of the castle club
22:46
at the Disneyland Hotel and I hope
22:48
you'll agree they are pretty magical all
22:50
of these different benefits and perks
22:52
and aspects come together to create a
22:54
really immersive magical Disney
22:56
experience from the VIP Fastpass
22:59
enabling you to hop on your favorite
23:00
ride the character breakfast to be able
23:03
to watch illuminations in the castle
23:04
Club Lounge each evening just makes with
23:06
some really special Disney memories now
23:09
you might have picked up from the rest
23:10
of this video that I am a fan of the
23:12
Castle Club I absolutely loved it now I
23:14
must say I did go with some high hopes
23:16
and some high expectations and they were
23:18
absolutely 100% exceeded and blown out
23:21
of the water
23:22
the team at the castle Club the cast
23:24
members works so hard to make sure that
23:26
all guests feel really welcome and
23:28
really looked after and to be honest
23:30
each day seemed more special than the
23:32
last one if that's even a possibility it
23:34
really was amazing we've come back with
23:36
so many happy memories little memories
23:38
that we keep remembering such as opening
23:41
the curtains each morning and seeing the
23:42
castle and the parks sparkling ahead of
23:45
us ready for our next Disney adventure
23:46
the lift that we were hopping in and out
23:48
of going up and down rushing off to the
23:50
parks dashing up to afternoon tea and
23:53
the character breakfast each day that
23:54
was just amazing and then finally
23:56
drifting off to sleep each night
23:57
listening to the distant sounds of Main
23:59
Street music so magical I wish I was
24:02
there now but anyway I did promise you
24:04
guys a bit of a treat at the end of this
24:06
video and I have it just about now
24:08
because if you've watched any of my
24:10
other trip blocks you'll know that when
24:11
I'm at Disney I don't sleep I just
24:13
Disney and this was definitely the case
24:15
during our Castle Club stay because I
24:16
just couldn't sleep the view was too
24:19
breathtaking so late into the night I
24:21
would stand on the balcony and just take
24:24
in the view listen to the Main Street
24:25
music which continued to play late into
24:27
the night and look all the twinkling
24:29
lights ahead of me because it was just
24:31
so so pretty and I didn't want to sleep
24:33
sleep when I'm home anyway on the last
24:35
night when we were all packed up and all
24:37
ready
24:38
I couldn't sleep so I stood on the
24:40
balcony and once again looked at Main
24:41
Street every so often I see a little
24:44
back to flitter across the nighttime sky
24:46
and I'd see the lights twinkling that's
24:48
lovely but then something shifted
24:49
suddenly it got warmer and sort of the
24:52
wind picked up and it felt like
24:53
something's about to happen so I grabbed
24:55
my little camera because it's always
24:57
close by and sure enough something did
24:59
happen because there was a great big
25:01
thunderstorm all over Disney Parks
25:04
behind hyper-space mountain behind the
25:06
castle and I grabbed my legal camera and
25:08
I filmed the whole thing so for the next
25:10
few minutes I hope you enjoy a
25:12
thunderstorm over Disneyland Paris
25:14
because it's something I hadn't seen
25:16
before and I thought was pretty special
25:18
so I hope you do too anyway I hope
25:20
you've enjoyed this video if so please
25:22

25:25

25:27
