Disneyland Paris!

(Wednesday October 21)

Yep, we flew halfway around the world and chose to spend one of our days at Disneyland Paris.  And it was awesome!  After Doug accompanied us on a trip to Disneyland in California a couple years ago we knew we had to expose him to the French version.  We all had a great time.  What else is there to say about Disneyland?  Highlights:

We all loved the way Main Street USA feels EXACTLY like Main Street back in CA.  Seriously, you could BE in CA when you're there!

Hearing the Tower of Terror spiel in French was really cool.

The new Ratatouille ride is AWESOME, and the building for it looks AMAZINGLY like in the movie.  So fun!

The kids loved the rides in Toy Story Land (which we knew from last time, but they were super excited to get to do them again!)

Space Mountain here rocks (it has a loop and a corkscrew, which Jenn was actually excited to go on this time).

This is about the only place in Paris you see Halloween decorations, including the large pumpkins you'll see below just randomly placed in the grass.

Scott and Doug got stuck on the Aerosmith Rockin' Rollercoaster and had to be let out.  This normally wouldn't sound like a highlight, but they had almost finished the ride and got to see it and take pics with the lights on as they were let out, which is always cool!

The nighttime castle show (aka fireworks, though there are few actual fireworks, it is pretty unique) was once again brilliant.  If you haven't seen the Paris show yet, or want to see the newest one with Frozen included, you can check it out here.  It is long, but worth it.

No one's iPhone was stolen on the train home this time (in contrast with our last trip to Disneyland Paris).


Here are some random shots of the day!
