Cruise to Disneyland Transition

Hello all, from Disneyland Paris. We arrived yesterday, after another delayed flight. This time our flight was delayed only an hour. There were quite a few cruisers on our flight; however, most of them were heading home. After we landed and got our luggage, we made our way to the VEA, also known as the bus to Disney. It was about a half hour relaxed ride to the parks. We are staying at the Hotel New York. It is very nice. The rooms are spacious, but the bathtub is another high one. I am being very careful. When we arrived in the room, we quickly dropped everything off, made dining reservations for the next two days, then headed over to the parks.

Our hotel is a five minute walk to the parks, so we didn’t need to use the bus transportation. To get to them, we have to walk through the Disney Village, which is similar to Downtown Disney. We ended up having dinner at Annette’s which is reminiscent of a fifties diner, complete with roller skating waiters. I thought Disney was expensive for dining, however, it has nothing on the price of food here. I had a burger and Kirstyn had a hot dog. For dessert, Kirstyn had a sundae, and I had a brownie and Ice Cream. The total bill was 42 Euros! Ouch, that’s over 60 dollars.

After dinner, we headed over to Disneyland. We proceeded to Frontierland and went directly to Phantom Manor. I found it a little scarier than Haunted Mansion. Our next stop was to be Thunder Mountain, but the line was too long, so we grabbed a fast pass. We made our way to Pirates of the Caribbean next; where we ran into APinCA from the DIS Boards. It really is a small world. The Pirates ride here is a little different from the WDW one; they haven’t introduced Captains Jack and Barbossa yet. Our next stop was the Indiana Jones Coaster. It was really good, and included a 360 loop. The only complaint I had was my ears hurt from being tossed about a bit. Our fastpass time was near, so we made our way back to Thunder Mountain. The parade was starting around this time, and we caught some of it after Thunder Mountain.

We watched some of the parade, but we were tired, so we made our way back to the hotel and called it a night. Tomorrow is another day! . Talk to you later!
