Disneyland Paris V

The restaurants where we went and more suggestions to enjoy the Park

We have tryed two restaurants at Disney Park, after our fast food experience on the first day. We noticed that we were spending more money with fast food than with a proper lunch (one hamburger here, a hot dog there, etc).
In my opinion, it's best to have a proper meal. As we could experience, we were more comfortable and energetic. On the other hand, we spent the same money as eating fast food along the day and we didn't have to stop several times to eat something.

At the Frontierland

We had a splendid morning in Frontierland! There you can visit the Phantom Manor! Don't miss it!

After, we went to the Silver Spur Steakhouse, where we enjoyed grilled meat and listened to some piano music. ;-)

This restaurant is located in front of the steamboat moor. Remember Mark Twain? ;-) Well, we did and we went for a trip in the Old Wild West. ;-)

At the Adventureland

The second restaurant where we went in Disney Park was the Blue Lagoon. Absolutely fantastic! We enjoyed exotic fish specialities and Creole cooking under the tropical moonlight, right in the heart of one of my favourite attractions, the Pirates of the Caribbean. We went there to lunch in the last day to say goodbye to Disneyland just comme il faut.

Last suggestions

At the Discoveryland

I also advise you to take a ride in the Star Tours! I liked it so much that I went for two rides! Don't leave the park without trying it! And be sure you do it before your lunch or dinner. ;-)

Before you leave the Park, take a look at the sidewalks in front of the Disney Hotel.
I photographed this one for obvious reasons. We live in Almere. :-) However, I noticed there were different symbols in each stone. Do you know what they mean?

From Eurodisney


I hope you have enjoyed this trip in Disneyland Paris!!! :-)

Stay well!!!

A very nice way to end a day full of emotions!

In the afternoon, before our stroll in Alice's Curious Labyrinth, we saw the Queen of Hearts giving an autograph :-)

In the morning, we took a photo with Mickey. :-)

From Eurodisney


Some of the attractions were closed like Sleeping Beauty Castle.

A pity that it was not possible to visit it :-(

From Eurodisney


Yet, there is so much to enjoy, like a train trip, for example ;-)

a Magical and Lovely message of Hope!!! :-)

Enjoy the video! :-)



it's a world of laughter, a world or tears
its a world of hopes, its a world of fear
theres so much that we share
that its time we're aware
its a small world after all

CHORUS:
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small, small world

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small small world

Disneyland Paris II

Disney’s Once Upon a Dream Parade

(and my comments about other Disney Park attractions ;-)

We saw the parade on June, 16 at 5 pm. It was one of the best moments of the day, specially when we saw Mickey and Minnie so in love ;-))

Float 1: Dreams of Imagination

Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse stand in the basket of a giant hot air balloon shaped like the sun. They have anchored down on a giant purple crescent moon which sits on the back of the float.

Float 2: Dreams of Laughter & Fun

This float is a combination of Alice in Wonderland and Pinocchio. A line of walking playing cards leads the float, followed by the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts.

I took a photo with her on the next day ;-)

Before the parade, we went for a ride in the Les Voyages de Pinocchio. I strongly recommend it. In this ride, we find all the main characters like Geppetto, the Blue Fairy, the Bad Boys and Pinocchio's friend, Jiminy Cricket.
The story is very well told. I'm sure you will enjoy it!

Float 3: Dreams of Friendship

Another giant storybook makes up this view, serving as a divider for the two different themes, Toy Story 2 and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

On our last day, we went on Peter Pan's Flight. It was a wonderful and magical experience! We had a trip that took us from London to the Neverland, flying alongside Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy and her brothers.
We have travelled among the stars and through all the corners of the Neverland island.
I strongly recommend it!!! Don't miss it!

Snow White

We went to the The Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains attraction in the afternoon and it was a great disapointment. There were missing points in the story like her meeting with the Seven Dwarves, the hunter being sent for her heart or when she eats the poisoned apple. The trip was not so thrilling as it was with Pinocchio or Peter Pan!

The final dancer...

From Eurodisney


We enjoyed this parade very much! Did you like it too?

Enjoy the videos that I found in Youtube! See you!

Disneyland Paris I

As I promised, the photos of our Spring holidays. Enjoy!

Last month, we went to Eurodisney for 4 sunny days. :-)
A couple weeks before, we had found a very nice offer in Oad Reizen site: one night and one day for free.


From Eurodisney


On May, 15, after a 5 hour car trip, we arrived to Davy Crockett Ranch.


From Eurodisney


In this ranch, we stayed in a bungalow.

From Eurodisney


We could make a BBQ in front of it, if we wished to.

This bungalow had...

a master bedroom,

a single bedroom,

a living and dining room with kitchenette,

a restroom and a bathroom.

If you would like to stay in this ranch, you should take a car with you. These lodgings are the farthest from the Parks and the only ones with no shuttles to take you there. On the other hand, they are the cheapest ones and you don't need to pay €15 per day for the parking.

I have enjoyed staying there. It was nice to wake up with the birds and surrounded by the green of the trees. :-)

We also enjoyed having dinner at the Ranch. It was an "Eat all you want" buffet and the food was absolutely delicious. We paid around € 27 per person. Very well deserved! I advise you to reserve a restaurant table in the morning.

How was the breakfast? You can see it in the photo below. Very simple, but for me it was ok.

From Eurodisney


Guess what was the first language I've heard there? Dutch, of course!!! ;-))
We saw there so many Dutch families!! "Am I in France? Really? I don't think so!!" :-)) And the first thing I've seen?? An Albert Heijn plastic shopping bag, do you believe it? ;-)) Absolutely delicious! Loved it!! ;-))
