Grades still a mystery, Catherine went to Paris Disneyland before coming home. Paris is cold and she threw out her long pants but that does not stop any devoted Disney fan. She took the shuttle from the airport straight to Disney leaving her luggage in the locker.
She knew her friend, Madison was in the park, but Madison didn't have a cell connection, so they had to leave it to luck to meet up. But Disney is magical. Of course, they met up.
At the end of the day she had to find her hotel, which happily didn't seem to be much of a problem, even if the bus was squeaky. This was a relief to me since I was the one who booked it. Besides having a room with a bed, the hotel also has llamas, goats, bunnies and ponies.
The next day Catherine was up early to catch her "Magic Hours." Wonderful! She was about the only one who came early. She had all of Main Street to herself!
She was the first to ride Buzz, which assured her that she had the high score of the day--at least for a little while.
There are many differences between Disneyland Paris and the American parks. Crush is a roller coaster---
Mr. Toad's is a restaurant, not a ride. The haunted mansion has a scary zombie theme--except for the singing busts which don't fit in at all. My favorite is Alice's curious labrynth. Catherine skyped me today and took me on a tour.
Another real oddity, the rolicking pirate music was actually the hymn, "Who's on the Lord's side Who?"
Not different is that Earl of Sandwich is still her favorite place ever. The Beef and blue sandwich was especially magical. Also, Disney merchandise is universal. I have no doubt there are gift shops on Mars. Since Paris is hosting the Eurocup, Catherine got the ears to celebrate.
The original plan was to stay for the fireworks, But since she rode everything that was open multiple times and she's going to have a string of bad sleep on long airplane rides, she decided to skip the fireworks and instead be at the park in the morning for as long as she can before catching her flight to London.
