mrtickles Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 This was my first time to Disneyland Paris and I had a blast! Staying on site at the Santa Fa Hotel for 3 nights worked perfect allowing me to use my pass for Magic Hours each morning, getting a few quick rides in before the crowds came. Amazingly for the 2 hour early start in the Studios, I could only manage 2 rides on Crush's Coaster due to the huge popularity of the ride. During the day Crush's line would blow out to two hours and it was a very slow moving line. Disneyland made me feel like a kid again and I have to say it really is the happiest place on earth. Enjoy some pictures from both parks over my stay there. Up nice and early to get a few rides in before the crowds Christmas time is quite magical The early sunrise gave me the opportunity for some great photos I went for a spin on the classic Mad Hatter's Tea Cups Big Thunder Mountain, easily the most popular ride everyday in Disneyland So glad there are Fast passes Love the last segment, pitch black hurtling down into the unknown The whole park is so photogenic The captain and I There was a few breakdowns as people were driving around, but the ride ops were quick on the case to get them going again Disney's Once Upon A Dream Parade Sleeping Beauty's castle at night is pretty awesome Disney's Fantillusion Parade, wow they really go all out with this one Magical Let's head over to the Studios Toy Story land High winds each day kept the Parachute drop closed everyday Although a very short ride time, RC Racer was pretty cool Disney's Stars 'n' cars parade was a bit rushed and can't match the brilliance of the two Disneyland parades I was always up for a character photo, especially Sully So is this bad tower, or good tower? Well I had a great time on it anyway But Fast pass definitely helped beating the queues I didn't know what to expect on the Tram Tour and was definitely surprised when the live set got out of control Three days was the perfect time to spend at Disneyland Paris. I was able to ride everything I wanted and got plenty of re-rides as well.
Double0Kevin Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Great TR! DLP is a resort I would love to visit. It's got such a similar story to the original Disneyland, rough start but grew into a great place. I also love their castle. Glad you missed that snow storm that just shut them down! P.S. Is it just me or is it really weird to see the exact same Tower of Terror as DCA sitting their with different surroundings? Other Disney clones tend to have variations that make them unique but this one is dead on.
Groteslurf Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Great pictures. Too bad it didn't snow when you were there ? When we were there 10 years ago or so, we woke up in a white DLP. That was really awesome.
samisthabomb Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Wow, this park looks really interesting. I like that they have Sleeping Beauty's Castle instead of the Cinderella Castle. Great TR!
