disneyland

We know what you are thinking..."two days in Paris and you spent one of them at Disneyland Paris?" The answer is yes. And we don't regret it at all. We know that you are secretly a little jealous. It was just as fun as it looks, and in some ways even better than the original. The highlights:
-Getting to the station and realizing we bought the wrong ticket. We couldn't get out of the station and no one, no employees, no passengers, NO ONE was there to help us. Finally another train arrived and we snuck out behind someone as they went through the turnstile. We are probably on wanted posters in France by now.

-Not "Haunted Mansion" but "Phantom Manner" all westernized and much creepier than the california original.


-Space Mountain. We went expecting the same thing as our american versions, and got our american versions on steroids. Flips and corkscrews and a 0-1000 MPH blast off begining.

-The castle. The only thing better than real European castles are imitations of real European castles.

We had a great day. Could have stayed longer, but enjoyed every minute. To anyone interested in going to Paris...don't let anyone try to convince you to skip over this one.

  2. I think the ticket thing happens to everyone traveling in Europe for the first time. Mine happened in Austria only half way up the stairs after we snuck out anyway... there were guards dressed like Nazi's and carrying machine guns checking to see if you had your stamped ticket. Yikes. We didn't give them passports even though they demanded them.

    I am spending to much time reading your posts about this fun experience you are having together. Love the pictures.
