martinb Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Hello people, here a mini trip report from Disneyland Paris, 8th-13th January 2006. Firstly sorry about the lack of photos, I have a brand new Camera and I'm still trying to figure out how to use it properly! Also I apologize in advanced if I praise DLP to much in this report, but it is great and it is the most beautiful park I've ever been to! The effort that Disney put into making your holiday/trip the most Magical ever is unreal! This whole trip cost me £954 for 3 adults(me, my girlfriend and her we brother), 5 nights stay in the Sequoia Lodge, 6 days in the parks, return flights from Heathrow, 1 night stay in hotel at Heathrow, 7 days parking at Heathrow and coach tickets(to Disney from Charles De-Gaulle etc), but I don't care about cost when I'm going to Disney because I know I'm going to have a fantastic time, it real is so magical, everything about it, you might think that 6 days in the 2 parks is was to much time but when you have (IMO) 3 of the best coasters in the world(BTM, R'n'RC, SM:M2), it don't matter, also it's not just the parks that make the holiday, its everything, especially the night-life, I always look forward to my evening meal at either Annette's Diner, Rainforest Cafe and Planet Hollywood, money is no object when I'm at DLP, the food is unbelievably gorgeous, I end up spending about 40 euro's on my meal every night!!! And don't even get me started on the beds in the hotels; they are what you call extremely comfy beds! So all round the clock I'm always looking forward to something, when I'm in the parks I'm looking forward to my late night feast, and when I'm at my late night feast I'm looking forward to going to bed, and when I'm in bed I'm looking forward to the next day. You know when your at home asleep having a dream that your somewhere else, somewhere really fun, and them you wake up and it's really annoying, well one night whilst I was at DLP, I had a dream that I was at home, about to go to work, it was one of them dreams that felt really real, but then I woke up and I was at Disney, that was such a great feeling!!! anyway, here's some pics Oh, also if anyone else has STAYED at a Disney Hotel at Paris (New York, Newport Bay, Sequoia, Santa Fe, Cheyenne etc) please let me know about the beds, is it just me or are the most comfy beds ever!!! Also does anyone have any news on the Pizza Planet here as it hasn't been open the last 2 years I've been, I'll always remember that place for my Pizza Burger I had, not a burger in a bun, but a burger in between 2 pizza's, lush!!!! Prepare for launch, tois, duex, un . Oh, I love it, I wish I was there now!! New silver paint on the moon trains, which do look better than the old green and gold! It's a spectacular sight at night time, they may have changed the themeing inside but the ride still ROCKS, especially as you now get launched from the bottom of the 60metre cannon, just a shame they didn't keep the old soundtrack! But Space Mountain is also one of my alltime favourite coasters and so is Rock n RC, and their all Vekoma's, with a little help from Disney Imagineering Ah, saving the best till last, hang on I've only just realised that I didn't get any pics of Big Thunder Mountain, balls!BTM is one of my alltime favourite coasters, everything about it is so awsome! Weeeeeeeeeeee. I love the themeing on this ride, needs a bit of fire though First ever Disney loop, quite an intense one aswell, you really fly through this loop at quite a speed, lots of +G's to be found here! It's actually probably my favourite vertical loop! Indiana Jones, although it was unique when it ran backwards, I do prefer it to run fowards! Phantom Manor, very cool ride Giant chrismtas, oh and the pink Castle Lovely blus skys, shame the tempreature is about -31'c The beautiful Disneland Hotel View from Rock 'n' Rollercoaster of giant ballon going up 400ft 'Postcard Pic' Angry dragon, grrrr Need I say more! BOO Contruction pic, thats it really Giant Stitch teddy, 160euros, thats about £120!!! Inside studio 1 Studios with Tower of Terror filling the skyline Not really much to say about this photo, but due to a case of Bird Flu found in France this Chicken Little is now in captivity. My girlfriend, Charlie, shes in love winnie the pooh. Sadcase PANORAMAGIQUE, the largest captive ballon the world, it will take you up nearly 400ft! One of the 1.4 million Disney Stores on the resort. Another one of the best restraunts here, Planet Hollywood Annettes Diner, one of the best restraunts on the resort! They serve you on rollerskates and they dance on tables and start conga's randomly! Sequoia Lodge, this is the hotel we stayed in, its lovely and cozy!!!with the coziest beds EVER Hotel NewYork, again not the Hotel we stayed in but its still very nice, I have stayed in this hotel before. Newport Bay, not the Hotel we stayed in but its still very nice
Pelydr Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Thanks for the pics! I hope Indy was better than Raging Spirits at Tokyo(which basically is Indy, I think). The restraints tried to crush me. Really, though, I want to go to Disney Paris. Thanks again!
Nrthwnd Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Thanks for sharing your TR. We're going to be in DLP just over a year from now, so everything I see lately on DLP Trip Reports gets me more and more excited, heh heh! Can't wait. And yes, it IS a beautiful park. I have enough time next year, to actually spend a day and just walk around, enjoying what's been done with landscaping etc. All very cool stuff, too. Thanks again for sharing your trip.
martinb Posted April 1, 2006 Author Posted April 1, 2006 ^ Thats the best thing to do, well I've been to DLP loads of times and when I went in Jan I found this walk through Alladin attraction that I had never known of before, if you just walse about the place you find loads of "hidden treasures", they are just the smallest things that make Disney so special!
Freefall Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 IMO disney land paris sux, theres not flat rides apart from 3 that are the same with diffrent carrages, I guess its for kids but also i have no time for the rides where you just Que all the way around and then theres no ride at the end you know the ones i meen next time I'm near paris I'm going to park astrix, nether the less it woz a great TR, o and big thunder is crud
okinawaboy11 Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Awesome TR. I've always wanted to go to Disney Paris. They have some very unique rides. I Love how Space Mountain looks.
Dark Vampire Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Thank you for the great pictures! And you are absolutely right, Disney is my favorite park too! I have been there already 10 times and I cant get enough of it, even a 3 days stay is too short. Of the coasters I have done, Rnrc is my favorite. By the way: nice girlfriend.

Why do you think that? Disney doesn't need flat rides, I couldn't really imagine a Move It or a Huss Frisbee at a Disney Park, it would seem very tacky(IMO)!
