Day Trip to Disneyland Paris

Okay so maybe it's not very French but it is a major tourist spot for all ages. It was my first time ever in a Disneyland resort and I was like a little kid. We thought being February that it wouldn't be that busy but it was a Saturday so the place had quite a big crowd. We decided just to hit the park with the little time we had.

                                                                             

Due to light snow that had fallen the previous day some outdoor thrill rides seemed to shut down every so often such as Big Thunder Mountain which was a bit disappointing. Pirates of the Caribbean was shut down for repairs. That was an even bigger disappointment due to that the fact that it is such a famous ride and I am a big fan of the movie franchise also. What we did go on for the few hours we were there was Space Mountain, Mad Hatter Teacups and Buzz Lightyear Space Adventure. Space Mountain is a must although maybe not for all kids. It travels at a crazy speed and has amazing light effects also. The Teacups are a famous Disney ride and you would get on them quickly enough while Buzz Lightyear is a fun interactive shooting ride primarily aimed at kids.

   

We stumbled upon the daily parade and it was very entertaining. For food we went to The Lucky Nugget Saloon in Frontierland. For €14 we got big pork spare ribs, french fries, onion rings, a drink and a coupon for a coffee/tea in another restaurant after 3pm. For such a huge franchise like Disney it was a good value meal and it filled us for the remainder of our trip. It didn't taste too bad either!! We had to buy some kind of souvenir for the day. As with all brands there comes a price and the only thing you can get under €10 is either small sweets or a keyring. We opted for Minnie Mouse ears for €12, again not bad value for a franchise product. After six hours and a lot of walking and queuing (yes there will be many queues) in the cold we got our train home. We wouldn't have minded staying in one of those comfy Disney hotels though. Well one can dream!!
