The main reason for our trip across the channel was Disneyland Paris. Sarah and I have been once before back in 2001. Our parents surprised us a few days after Christmas that we would be going which is obviously one of our favourite childhood memories. However, that was such a long time ago now and both of us were eager to head back and see what it was like. Dan loves Disney, and Richard had never been before so we dragged the boys along for some fun.
Determined to make the most of our day at Disney we headed to the parks early to get started. We brought ourselves t-shirts and Minnie ears (has to be done!)...then it was time to get started on the rides. I'm not the biggest fan of some rides, but even so it was nice to be back in Disney and taking it all in. Luckily the weather was gorgeous, reaching 26 degrees at some points. We had the sunshine on our faces all day long whilst walking around the parks.
Disneyland spares no expensive on the parades and the rides, and the effort put into all of the attractions is insane. Throughout the day we managed to get on quite a few rides - including the teacups, Pirates of the Caribbean and 'it's a small world'. We all especially loved Buzz Lightyear's Laser Blast. It was made even better by the fact we competed against each other, with Dan and I taking the victory. To infinity and beyond!
At around 4.30 we got into place ready to watch the parade as we knew it would fill up pretty quickly. It's safe to say no-one does parades quite like Disney does! I managed to capture Sarah and Richard's faces as the parade began and it's a great picture. They were both in awe. The parades are so well thought out and each and every float is so intricately decorated. Don't even get me started on the costumes either, because they are out of this world incredible. I absolutely love watching the parades, and had the "Magic Everywhere" song in my head for the rest of the weekend!
Our final few hours were spent in shops, and admiring the castle in the dusk. Unfortunately we had to leave before the fireworks began but before we left we made a promise to each other that we'd be back, and we'd stay in a Disney hotel so we could stay as late as we wanted.
Disneyland, we'll see you soon!
