Disneyland Paris

Awesome, fantastical, magical, sensational, groovy - Jeff & I are so glad that we took Chloe to Disneyland and I would go back in a flash!  Not enough days spent there, but it was worth 685 pounds in the end.  Eurostar was great - takes you straight to Disneyland's front gates and buses leave for various Disney hotels every 15 mins....  Fantastic - I would recommend it to anyone of any age.  Like all theme parks, there is a waiting time for rides (45 - 65 mins), so we did the ones that we could and I gave up my last day for Chloe to get more autographs from the characters which she was so pumped about.

Instead of writing about it, I will just put some pictures in to see how much fun we had...

Buzz leading into Toy Story Playland
Walt Disney & Mickey
I was reading in the Disneyland brochure about how Disneyland all started - Walt was watching his girls play in the playground while he was eating peanuts and he felt left out, so he came up with the idea of building a park with rides that both parents & kids could go on together and no matter how old you are, you could still have lots of fun. 

Our hotel - Newport Bay Hotel
M-I-C-K-E-Y MOUSE (Poppa's favourite song to the grandies)
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Big Thunder Mountain ride
Peter Pan play
Casey Jnr ride - the one ride that Chloe really loved
Space Mountain 2 ride - over an hour wait for this ride..
Orbitron - a "nice and safe" ride for kids in Discoveryland
"It's a Small World"
Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride - the 2nd favourite ride for Chloe
The hotel indoor pool
Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show with Mickey & Friends
Absolutely fantastic!  Brilliant - worth the 170.00 euro...
New York is our next destination next Saturday...
