What a way to end a spectacular trip--with some days in the most magical of all places. Her hostel is nicer than the one in Scotland as well. Basic. But with the French idea of a basic breakfast. Other hostel breakfasts are white bread one can toast, strawberry jam and cornflakes. Hard boiled eggs if you are lucky. In France, 4 kinds of bread including baguette, lemon cake, fruit, fruit cocktail, 3 kinds of jam, honey cheese and cornflakes.
Her hostel is very centrally located so the train to Disneyland takes about an hour. But she gets to walk past the Arc d'triumph to get to the station.
In Paris, Phantom Manor is a much darker ride than the Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder is faster, but the Indiana Jones ride is just a roller coaster around the temple of doom.
In Small World, Ariel is NOT wearing seashells (not a problem, they're all children). Space Mountain is the best by far. The ride goes upside down and through an asteroid field. The graphics are amazing and you can't see the coaster track at all.
In Star Tours, it was the old ride. The Droid spoke French while everyone else spoke English.
They don't sell ear hats!! Just headbands.
Food prices, as in America are distinctly non-magical. And the nutella bread is no longer Mickey Shaped but the pizza is.
Since we had the day off today we had a good long Skype session and she took us on a tour of Alice's Curious Labyrinth.
Then she walked us all around the park, and through some of the shops. The castle looks amazing with waterfalls. It wasn't crazy crowded, and we could hear the happy Disney music all around. I'm glad Disneyland is one of her favorite places too.
