Chrissie Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 So in September I was in Disneyland Paris for a few days. This was my first time in a Disney Park outside of WDW and I really enjoyed it. Although, I definitely think the Americans are soooo much better at doing Disney but that just could be my trained Disney eye being picky!! On to the Photos... Again, I was expecting a Wishes like fireworks, but they were lame too. Candelbration was cute. It was basically a giant birthday celebration where you had to make a wish while they lit DLP's Birthday candles Fantillusion was kinda a let down There was like 6 floats! Uh-Oh...Here comes the boss... Look busy!! Super Pretty! I love night time Disney Santa Fe at night So after walking round the park for a bit, we decided to head home and hit the park a bit later as this was the only day of our trip that it was open until 11pm. So here is us waiting for the bus I like how they take your photo BEFORE the pain starts. Look how happy we are. *Sobs* This is how a grown man feels after riding Space Mountain Mission 2. It will ruin your life. Tomo..I mean discoveryland! BTM!! I LOVED Paris BTM. It was sooo good. But more of that later. The Prince of Splash returns to Frontierland - Only there is no Splash. Oh Well. First ride of the day was pirates. I have to say, I did miss Johnny Depp. Skull Rock. Amazing. We decided just to take a walk through the park to get a feel for the place. Adventureland was sooo pretty! I liked it better than FL I LOVED the castle here. Oooooh! Have we been transported to Florida?? I'm walking right down the middle of main street USA.... NOTED! Pretty Pretty Pretty! I really wished I was staying there We tried! But we were soooo 2 years ago It was Sunday morning when we left Paris for DLP and no where was open So We started our day as all good tourists should Oh Look, A to Scale replica of Disneylands Castle! Hi Clint! Here is our room at Hotel Santa Fe. It was really nice. Yes that is my bright pink suitcase, I will need a volunteer to carry it on future TPR trips Look at the excitement - Me on the RER on the way to DLP!!
Chrissie Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 Day 2!! Day 2 was spent at Parc Disneyland. It was an awesome day, with decent weather which was a bonus! Incase you forgot where we were How come Eric looks so lame in real life?? When hes really hot in the cartoon?? Lol! Anyway, that concludes Day 2! Stay tuned for Day 3. Simba SCAR!! Or Scarf as my sister used to call him Disney pointing or giving us the finger?? You decide!! The floats were really detailled, with some great characters. This parade was awesome. I really enjoyed it!! Parade Time!! Hi Lou!! Big thunder from the boat. I can't get enough of it!! Just after I took this picture, some weird custodial castmember screamed in my ear. It was freaky. Tut,tut,tut.... Never in Florida.... Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Back to fronteirland for a quick ride on BTM Hmmmm! Mickey Mouse Doughnut thing. It was gorgeous. He's got the right idea. Doing this while drunk would be funny. Must try it sometime. The Alice Maze. Next up was the tea-cups!! We were spinning super fast! Death stare. Im sure he enjoyed it tho. I love the carosel!! Florida or Paris?? Ooooh!! Trains. Indiana was ok. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be Wow! Look at that! Miracles do happen. Nope But this is Disney... If I wish with all my heart, my dreams will come true... I spy with my little eye, is Indiana Jones open?? We decided to kill some time and do the treehouse! CLOSED!!! We headed over to the next credit of the day - Indiana Jones!! I really do love this castle! This was sooo funny. This guy just like sat on his kid and the kid started crying and then ride started moving. Hilarious. Traffic Jam!! I've been taking driving lessons, so I decided to show Simon my awesome new driving skills. I dunno what its trying to tell me here? Loser?? Simon's awesome score. Ready for action!! So like,OMG,Woody, I totally kicked Zurg's Butt... Our fast passes were valid in like half an hour, so we decided to visit French Buzz! Appearances can be soo decieving. We decided to give the death machine one more try. WRONG - In the wrong land, in the wrong costume carrying his LUNCH!!! WTF?? Walt would be soooo angry right now. Disneyland Paris had so many good ears! Here is me modelling the the pluto variety. In the end I opted for classic Minnie.
Big Mike Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Hi Chrissie! Awesome pictures honey! Too bad you were not there at the same time we were this year, same hotel too! Hope to see more cutie pie. Peace, Big Mike
Groteslurf Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Great report and pics. I too think the atmosphere in the MK is much better than in DLP nowadays. However back in the opening year, the Florida magic could be found at DLP aswell. Unfortunately cutting costs began still in the opening year if I remember well and so did the magic got cut. Looking forward to the rest of the pics.
RCFreak Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Awesome pics so far! DLP is definitely high on my list of parks I need to get to.
