Disneyland Paris – Day 1

Today is our first full day at DLP. Today we decided to spend it at Disney Studios, as we have reservations in Disneyland on Friday. We arrived around 11 am and quickly made our way over to Crush’s Coaster. We grabbed a fast pass to the Aladdin ride and joined the line for Crush. We would have waited, but the couple in front of us were being annoying, so I gave up for now. We then checked out the Art of Animation, then went on the Aladdin ride with our fastpass. Our next stop was the Animagique show, which was a really cool black light show. I then bought us water, while Kirstyn checked out the displays at the animation building. Did you know that Ursula in Little Mermaid wasn’t originally an octopus! Also, did you know that Meeko was originally going to be a Turkey?

We now decided to make our way to Crush’s Coaster. We had a 75 minute wait, but it was worth it. I think this ride is now officially my favourite coaster, but that may change after Space Mountain Mission 2 tomorrow. This ride is fantastic. I hope they bring it to WDW so I can go on it again and again. I won’t say much, as I don’t want to spoil it, but I will say, that it was the first coaster where I felt like I wanted to lose my lunch if you get my drift.

Our next ride was the new Cars ride. It too was really cool. It was very similar to the Tea Cup ride. It was now around 4:00 and we wanted to catch the 5:00 parade. Our plan was to get over to Rock’n’Roller Coaster, get a fastpass and wait for the parade. When we got to the ride, there was only a five minute wait, so we went right on. It was very good, but just like the one in Orlando, so nothing new. After the ride, we discovered we were right at the start of the parade. I found a really good spot to sit and watch the parade, so I had Kirstyn save it while I bought us a drink. The parade was really good. When it was done, we went to the Armageddon Special Effect’s show, and then we had to leave for our dinner reservations.

Tonight we had dinner at Café Mickey’s. It was a character meal, and we met Tigger, Goofy, Mickey and Minnie, Genie, and Mad Hatter. I had the Ribs, and Kirstyn had Turkey Cordon Bleu. We were full, so we decided to head over to the Hotel and go for a swim. After our swim, we made our way back to the elevator to get to our room and I ran into Dylcal from the DIS Boards. It turns out her son and her are in the room next to us. We had a quick chat, then said good night.

Will here I am, in my room, typing up my blog! I’ve got three hours of Internet, so I’ll fill you in more tomorrow! More later! Bye!
