A couple of weeks ago I went to Disneyland Paris with F and L. It was my first time at Disney (F’s too) and even though I know it’s for kids, I’ve always really wanted to go. We bought tickets 5 days in advance which for 29 euros gets you entry for two days. So we went 5 days after purchasing and can now go back any time until the end of September. Disney is a million miles from Paris (it took 1 and 1/2 hours from my place) on the RER A and a return ticket is around 13 euros. The food is mostly fast food type crap which was cheap enough so the only expensive things during the day were the drinks. Overall though, it was a pretty cheap day out and I’m looking forward to going again.

Disneyland Paris

Seeing as L is THE expert on Disney, she showed us around and explained how it all worked. We started at the very tame Haunted House and then went on some other tame, but fun, rides including:

• Pirates of the Caribbean
• It’s a Small World
• Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups
• Autopia
• Le Carrousel de Lancelot
• The Land of Fairy Tales

My favourite was probably the carrousel and the Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups. I was pretty dizzy after the tea cups, lol. The least interesting was the Land of Fairy Tales boat ride but seeing as we didn’t have to wait to get on, no biggy. The Autopia was the most disappointing because we waited for almost an hour and it was pretty boring. We should have skipped that and gone home.

The more exciting rides were of course the roller coasters. We only did two, Thunder Mountain and Indiana Jones, because we ran out of time. I know they aren’t super big roller coasters but I love that kind of thing so was happy. I wasn’t expecting the 360 on the Indiana Jones ride so that was a bit of a shock, lol. Felt a bit light headed after that

I’m going to try to go back next week before F heads off on holiday but it’ll all depend on the weather. Thanks to L for showing us around!
