We set off on our journey to Disneyland Paris in glorious sunshine and after crossing the channel to Calais we were soon on our way to the Eurodisney Resort where we were staying at the Santa Fe, one of the Disney Hotels. During our stay at Disney we managed to experience many of the shows and attractions that both the Disney Park and Disney Studios had to offer. After having breakfast in the Hotel each day we were soon off on the short bus ride to the parks and there we stayed until closing going on many of the rides such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan, Buzz Lightyear and several others. We stopped each day to watch the colourful parades and in the Disney park we were fortunate to see the first running of the 20th Anniversary parade. We also saw a number of shows and managed to get many character autographs, obviously including the main characters Mickey and Minnie !!! In the evenings we dined at Buffalo Bills, Planet Hollywood and a lovely Italian Restaurant and even found ti...

As usual, we made for a nice country pub for our lunch break before arriving at Butlins Skegness. We were so lucky, as we had marvellous weather all week! Our accommodation was up to its usual high standard. Every morning we would start the day with a leisurely breakfast, with a choice of yoghurt, cereals, fresh fruit, fruit juices & a choice of a full cooked breakfast. One of the first things that the majority of our group wanted to do was to go swimming. Jade was the most adventurous and went down the water flumes at least six times as the others either swam or whirled around the rapids. Jade had such a good time that she went again the next day. We all enjoyed 10-pin bowling and managed to get two games in during our stay. Carl was our highest scorer in our first game, whilst Michelle won the final game. Derek & Adrian had their own competition and each won one game. Wendy came third.....nothing new there then! Time was spent in the fun fair. It seems as though the favourite...

We all met up at a lovely country pub for lunch and then continued to the 5* leisure resort of Potters. After unpacking, we explored the resort and acquainted ourselves with all the wonderful facilities that Potters offers. The food is plentiful and of a very high standard. We had a great choice at all meal times and waitress service is always nice to make you feel a little bit special. The dining room is lovely, light and airy. During the days we spent most of time in the resort enjoying the many different quizzes, dart competitions, pool, 10 pin-bowling, curling competitions, card making, archery, air rifle target shooting and bingo. We had a good laugh with the wonderful entertainment staff that always seemed to be around the resort. We won one of the quizzes and received a prize of “it’s nearly champagne” that Jacqueline took home. Michael was the best player in the curling team and helped us win the competition, winning gold medals for us all. He also got very lucky one evening an...
