Back from Disneyland Paris, and boy, what a wonderful day! =3
Despite heavy rains yesterday, today was reasonably sunny -- though a bit cloudy at time. Rose up at 7h30 in order to prepare, have breakfast and finish packing lunch (sandwiches, tomatoes, apples) then leave for the park, which is about 1h30 away from my brother's appartment using the public transports.
Arrived without any incident, just as the park opened. Lots of people, but not too many (Disneyland's webiste listed the day as mid as far as frequentation went). The decors, from the moment we passed the doors, were just awesome.
We (my younger sister and I) went everywhere and made a number of rides all the day long:
- Le château de la Belle au Bois Dormant -- quick visit to go see the windows, which were incredibly pretties, as well as the dragon's lair underneath.
- It's a small world
- Le Pays des Contes de Fées and Le Petit Train de Casey Junior/Storybook Land -- a boat ride among small decors. I was surprised to see one from Fantasia, the one with the demon over its mountain
- Alice's Curious Labyrinth
- Pirates of the Carribeans -- the first ride for which we had to wait, about 40 minutes (for the others before then, we didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes)
- La Cabane des Robinsons
-Thunder Mesa Riverboat
- Phantom Manor -- our favorite of the day; it was just beautiful. I wouldn't have minded doing it a second time. <3
- Les Mystères du Nautilus
- Star Tours -- got a bit dizzy with this one, I must admit. Nice, but not something I'll do again.
- Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast
After which, we were really tired, so we concluded by some shopping on Mainstreet USA while waiting for the parade -- sis bought a 'Nightmare Before Christmas' notebook and me, a Maleficent teeshirt. =3
Then we watched the parade, from the second rank -- and then first when the people beside us left. It allowed me to take a couple of nice photos I will add as soon as I can, on LJ or over Tumblr. ;)
After that, we decided to call it a day and leave. Our tickets allowed us access to the second park, Walt Disney Studios, and there was one thing or two we would have wanted to check but... *shrugs* Tired, as I said.
Anyway, the day was great. My only regret? Having waited so long before going to Disney. <3
