When do the kids of Europe get there holidays? I know home in Ireland it would be at the end of that week. Reading this I REALLY want to check out DLP at christmas! <a href="http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2007/09/13/bougillumination-enchantee-and-dreams-of-christmas/" target="_blank">http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today /2007/09/13/bougillumination-enchantee-and-dreams-of-christmas/</a>

I visited DLP on Christmas Day several years ago and was surprised by how quiet it was. However my only other point of reference was the MK on Xmas day (never again)!!!

Originally Posted By irishfan Thanks ukfan, I guessed it might be busier than other years, but either way I'm not too fussed.

It's good to see the MK also getting this treatment this year.
