Photo TR: Disneyland Paris

Postby mrtickles » Sat Dec 11, 2010 7:07 am

This was my first time to Disneyland Paris and I had a blast!

Staying on site at the Santa Fa Hotel for 3 nights worked perfect allowing me to use my pass for Magic Hours each morning, getting a few quick rides in before the crowds came. Amazingly for the 2 hour early start in the Studios, I could only manage 2 rides on Crush's Coaster due to the huge popularity of the ride. During the day Crush's line would blow out to two hours and it was a very slow moving line.

Disneyland made me feel like a kid again and I have to say it really is the happiest place on earth.

Enjoy some pictures from both parks over my stay there.

Three days was the perfect time to spend at Disneyland Paris. I was able to ride everything I wanted and got plenty of re-rides as well.

Great TR! DLP is a resort I would love to visit. It's got such a similar story to the original Disneyland, rough start but grew into a great place. I also love their castle. Glad you missed that snow storm that just shut them down!

P.S. Is it just me or is it really weird to see the exact same Tower of Terror as DCA sitting their with different surroundings? Other Disney clones tend to have variations that make them unique but this one is dead on.

Great pictures.

Too bad it didn't snow when you were there ? When we were there 10 years ago or so, we woke up in a white DLP. That was really awesome.

Wow, this park looks really interesting. I like that they have Sleeping Beauty's Castle instead of the Cinderella Castle. Great TR!
