France - Disneyland Paris

26/02/15

Up early(well for us) to try and get to Disneyland as the gates open - we were nervous about the queues.
Chris experienced huge queues when he took Ollie and Jarvis to visit 5 years ago, but it was summertime and I was optimistic that winter now would be different (and it was).



Raced around a few rides while it was early and not busy - Buzz Lightyear ride, Star Wars motion Master and The Big Thunder( my favourite ride). Surprised myself by getting motion sick on the last two of the mentioned rides - decided to opt out of much more 'motion'.





We all enjoyed 'The Haunted House' - really well done. Everything was so seriously constructed  - no push over temporary structures.
Pretty surprised by the poor food options for lunch. Decided to just give in and go 'greasy' (accompanied by live Country Western music). Ollie was absolutely 'disgusted'.
Toffee apples are a hit - Haunted House in the background.
Lachlan was very happy that he could go on all but one ride (which made us very happy too).
The final street parade was pretty full-on. It is hard to imagine they do it every day.
Was great to see Disneyland at night with all the lights on.
Left when it got too cold to carry on.

  2. Must have been a great time - Ollie and Jarvis have both chosen Disneyland as their 'Recount' writing topic for correspondence school. Ollie is enjoying the food now and I am now on solid ground(although the ground is very high - the alps).

  3. Will the boys post some of their writing (only if they want to). I'll show my kids. Roddy has heard there is Legoland in Malaysia. BUt Karina wants to go to Harry Potter World in the States. I've told them to save up and pay their own way. hee hee
