Our last day at Disney was just travelling home but it was far from simple.
We got up at 3:30 and gathered our things. We then checked out and waited for our taxi which came at 4:30. We got to CDG in plenty of time and went to check in, this is when things started to get stressful. We had to use automatic check in machine and we ended up putting the wrong passport under the wrong name. There was no way to change it so we asked for help and no one seemed to take us seriously. We just got told to try again and again until eventually they admitted defeat and checked us in manually. They then tried to charge us to check our bag even though we had already paid. It took us an hour to get checked in but finally we got through security, found some breakfast and went to board our plane.
At this point everything seemed okay. The departure board was showing that the plane was leaving on time and we were totally ready to go home. We weren't sat together on the plane but figured it was only a short flight so it would be okay. Once we had boarded the pilot announced there would be a 45 minute delay at which point one of the air stewards told us that there were some spare seats at the front of the plane so we could sit together. From then on things went from bad to worse. After about another 30 minutes we were told that because of the baggage people being on strike there was a chance we would be leaving without bags as nobody could put them on to our plane for us. The worst of it is that the trolley with our bags was parked in the planes way so it could not leave until someone moved them out of our way. After two hours we finally left without our bags. We eventually made it back and put in the requests to claim our baggage and then we went home.
Despite our disastrous journey home, we had the best time and we're already planning our next trip to Disneyland.
Talk to you tomorrow, Chloe xx
