21 and 23 July - Disneyland

21 July and 23 July

Bonjour - We arrived in Val d Europe at our hotel Adagio Disneyland which is on the outskirts of Paris on the 20 July. It is a really great hotel with a beautiful pool, free shuttle to Disneyland and next to an incredible massive shopping centre. We went shopping for food. It was the most incredible supermarket with really fresh and surprisingly not so expensive food. There were heaps of clothing shops with lots and lots of soldes (sales) on. We’ll come back and check out the shops soon.

Elodie was very impressed at the reception in our hotel there was girl at the desk whose name was Elodie! There are so many Elodies in France!

21 July – Warm and sunny. On the 21^st we went to Walt Disney Studios and then to Disneyland in the late afternoon. At Disney Studios we saw a few shows like stunt shows and “Animagique” (Disney character show) and “Cinemagique”(a movie featuring famous movies and characters/actors from the past and it was interactive). We had a few rides like the Hollywood Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Flying Carpets and the Rockin Roller Coaster. We met the Disney characters including Mickey Mouse and Tiga and Donald and Daisy and Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc.

Then we went to Disneyland next door. We wanted to do the few rides we didn’t get to last time plus do some our favourites again. We had heaps more rides including on the Indiana Jones Temple of Peril (which was closed last time we were here), Big Thunder Mountain roller coaster, It’s a Small World, Pirates of the Carribean, and Peter Pan. We stayed and watched the Electric Light Parade with all the Disney characters on illuminated floats. That was about 10pm. That was great. We caught the shuttle bus home after a great day.

23 July – Hot and sunny. Mum, Elodie, Holly and Erin went to Disneyland again today. We had rides on many rides including our favourites like Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Carribean, Buz Lightyear (that was great, it was a space ship lazer gun ride -  Elodie won), Indiana Jones, Captain Nemo’s Nautilus, the Disney train ride, and a ride in a little boat ride through Disney scenes (can’t recall what it was called) and a lot more. We also enjoyed playing in Adventure Island. We met Daisy Duck and saw Peter Pan and Wendy, and Pooh Bear but he was in a big kid crowd. We bought heaps of souvenirs including Mickey and Minnie ears and presents for people back home. We got home about 8.30pm and went to the big Val d Europe shopping centre and got some dinner. We had such fun in Paris Disneyland (and Disney Studios) over the 3 days that we were there.
