Disneyland Paris: Our Pictoral Trip Report

We didn't want to end the reporting on our trip to Europe without letting you see some of our pictures from a truly Magic Kingdom. We jumped on the RER and headed for Parc Disneyland. It is just a 45 minute ride from central Paris. The train drops you right in front of the main gate. While there were many similarities to the other parks, it did have some differences. Some better and some worse.


Snow and the boys were there. Can you name them all?


Team Helios on the road.


First stop, Pirates baby!


A nice mound of booty.


My kind of bedroom.


Very cool with the mist of the morning.


A nice stern rail.


We had a great lunch at the Blue Lagoon inside the Pirates of the Caribbean.


Their version of space mountain. It was killer.


The castle was a little smaller then Orlando, but they did have a dragon in the basement.


Pet dragon keeps the crowds down.


The inside of the Castle.


Thunder Mountain railroad was faster then ours.


The Haunted Mansion is the Phantom Manor. We liked the graveyard.


Side view of the castle

There was one thing that would make our friend Larry turn into a 10 year old kid again. A full size Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Now that was cool.

Sitting right next to space mountain.

Captain Nemo's quarters.


Cool piping.


The giant view port with giant fake squid attacking every few minutes.


Ship map.


It wouldn't be the boat without the organ
.
It was a great time. We hit just about every ride that we wanted. And of course we went on Pirates twice. Well, we are sailors after all.
.
The day came to a close and we retreated to our Paris hotel. With the Orlando, California, and Paris Disney under our belts we just have to get to Tokyo and China and we will have a clean sweep. Hmm, sounds like a good goal.

We have recovered from our jet lag and are hard at work preparing the boat to come north next month.
.
Enjoy
P&J
