Day 2 - Part 1

The second day started with a dismal weather. Cold andmany clouds but no rain... yet :P

As we stayed at Sequoia Lodge Hotel we could enjoy the Extra Magical hours at Disneyland Park. And so we went there. Main Street was still with many people there.



We went to Fantasyland for Peter Pan. But we had already 35 minutes to wait...



After that the park opened to the people and we went strait back to Big Thunder mountain expecting not a big time to wait. No luck there :P But still we ride it. I don't have yet the on-ride foto but I will post it later.
We then went to adventureland







Pirates were not working very well and we had to wait inside 15 minutes because all things had stoped. But the ride itself was great as always. We then went to Indiana Jones. Only I rode it because they were all afraid :P
Not a long time to wait





Here I go down lol



It was the first time I rode it forward. It's different. But I think I prefer it Backwards. But still it was fun.

Day 2 - Part 2

After ridding Indiana Jones we went to fantasyland to have lunch and to go for all the rides there, Snow White, Pinoccio, My moms favourite it's a small world :P and the rest of them. The weather was getting better and we even saw the sun again.



We then went to the castle to see it inside.



I love the castle and the story of sleeping beauty as presented inside. Here are some photos of it. Hope you enjoy..

The king and Queen



The fairies enchanting Aurora



And my favourite Disney character... Yes it's Malifecent



For those who don't know, the story also is told in some books ther, like this one



And like this also



The fight



The awakening



Don't you love the statue at the end of the story??



That's why this is the best castle of them all :P
Here's a view from the castle to fantasyland



We then went to discoveryland and as we were passing through the castle we saw the train with the characters



Here's Chip



And Goofy



Back to Discoveryland





Space Mountain



I must say that this ride is still great, altough I do prefer the old version of it. But still is the best space mountain of them all.

We saw all the rides but the weather started to get ugly and rain came down and we rush to the hotel to have dinner.

Wow. The beauty of Disneyland Paris is just so alluring.

Thank you for the great photos! Very well done. You really showed the details of the park that I have never seen before. These details are what seperates Disney parks from the rest.

I love the banners down main street. I cannot believe it has already been 15 years.

Excellent TR! Memo to me: Do not visit DLP without sleeping the previous 3 days.

My only trip to DLP was ruined because I did not prepare well and jet lag messed me up. By the time I made it to DLP, I hadn't slept more than a total of 2 hours in 3 days!

Your TR is really capturing the magic and allure of DLP - and I definitely can't wait to go back.

Great job

Day 2 - Part 3

Well after dinner, it was still raining a little bit and was cold. So I went alone to Disneyland Park to see the parade and fireworks again. And to take some pictures. This time I went to the middle of central plaza, just in front of the stage. I didn't want to miss the show.

I must admit the view of main street is awsome



Well the parade came along. Beautyfull as always. I took less picture this time from it :P





After that came candleabration. It just a simple show. But it's so magic.
The flag part is great





Then came the host... Mickey



I never saw that the other characters were dancing near the people before going on stage... Here's Minie



I love this picture. You can't see the castle, only the candles... Like a cake



And then the rest of the gang came along.



After that came Wishes. I had seen it at the Magic Kingdom, but never here in Paris. Here are some photos..





Off the Neverland



My Malifecent in the castle :P



The blue Fairy



The lasers from the Castle. Great Idea



The last part of it







And so it ends





Well yes, the show is very different... and yes it doesn't have the big shells... But hey, it's still wishes. It's different, but still it's beautyfull.
After this I went to bed..

Next day.. Walt Disney Studios...
