Disneyland Paris - Day 2

Blog Entry 4th December 2007

OK, you've gotta admit, the photos from Day 1 was awesome right? :) Well, it was awesome for me and WS, that's for sure! The parades were amazing, it was so fun to meet characters and of course, the whole experience was absolutely magical! (Btw, did I mention that we visited both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios? Will write more about the studios later..)

Day 2 was just WS and I, as J & CY had to return home.. Since we didn't get a chance to enjoy many rides as we were busy gawking at every magical thing we came across (honestly, we felt like we were 5 ok!), we decided that Day 2 was going to be all about enjoying the adventurous side of Disneyland - we hit the rides!!! Gosh, it was so fun.. Disneyland definitely has some of the greatest roller coasters I've ridden in Europe! (Not that I've been on many roller coasters in Europe.. :P)

We managed to go on Space Mountain (it was so cool!!!) and Crush's (from Finding Nemo).Coaster, which was totally awesome!!! (we were in this shell-like car, and then the best part was spinning down the Eastern Australian Current.. honestly, it felt like we were really doing that!!! But Day 2, we hit the other biggies like Big Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Zoom, Peter Pan's Flight (which was REALLY like flying over London at night!), Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Tours, It's A Small World and many more.. Sighh, our adrenalin level was pumping by the time we finished!!

The entrance... obviously!!!

.
There were many interesting shows that were being put on at the Magical Land and we had the opportunity to catch one of them - Mickey & Friends' Winter Wonderland.. It was so cute, getting to see the mouse and his friends dance around, ice-skate, sing and put up and overall, wonderful performance! (Again, reliving the 5-year old days.. ;) )

This was Minnie Mouse's big entrance.. she slid down the slide oh-so-gracefully!

.

Mickey & Minnie are so cute.. they look so in love!
.

Who knew Donald Duck could sing AND play the banjo?
.

Pluto and Goofy were absolutely adorable!
.

We managed to head over to Fantasyland and enjoy the It's A Small World ride.. as a child, it was closed when my family and I visited Disneyland LA, so I've always wanted to go on it. Have to admit, it wasn't the most thrilling, but definitely very entertaining.. the music was good and the little paper dolls were so cute!

London, United Kingdom!

.

Little Japanese dolls in cute kimonos!
.

Red Indians!

.

We went to enjoy the Star Tours - a Star Wars adventure which was out of this world! ;)

.

At Walt Disney Studios.. it was very educational!

.

Look who I met? Had to chase him a good distance around the Studios though..

.

Meeting the scary monsters.. Sully was soo cute but scary at the same time.. and boy did that bear hug hurt!

.

After waiting for such a long time.. we finally got a chance to meet the Mouse of the hour!!! He's sooooo cute!
.

Had to fight a few kids off to get this pic! I don't care..

.

Haha, I got a photo with the cute mouse whilst WS's mouse was the not-so-cute Ratatouille! :P

.

.

The oh-so-famous Mickey Mouse from Fantasia...

.

As night falls, the Christmas lights are lit up round the magical land!

.

.

As the street lights of Main Street get illuminated, my breath is absolutely taken away!

.

The night show was amazing.. we had to elbow our way through the crowd to get near to see these cutesies perform!

.

And the star has arrived... Mickey!!!

.

And finally.. Sleeping Beauty's Castle is lit up as the grand finale! Goosebumps... It was amazingly beautiful!
.

And that concludes my incredibly amazing trip.. as you can tell from my generous use of adjectives like fantastic, incredible, amazing, magical etc, it was truly an enjoyable trip! For those of you who haven't been, I highly highly recommend it.. and to those of you who have, shall we make a trip together soon?
