Disneyland Paris, un

While Jeremy was recovering from his flight from SFO Monday, Vicki, Rebecca, Penelope, and I undertook our visit to Disneyland Paris (formerly EuroDisney, etc.), something even I had been looking forward to for some weeks. We had always dismissed the Disney entry here, but became re-interested upon 1) hearing from actual Europeans about how much their children/grand-children loved it, and 2) having a grand-child, particularly a grand-daughter. For those acquainted with the US version, Disneyland Paris is pretty much identical to, say, Disneyworld. Some of the ride names are different, but they're pretty much all here, plus a few not found in the US. You might say Disneyland Paris is just Disney World with French sub-titles.

At Nation, Penelope anxiously awaits the arrival of the RER
train that will take us to Disneyland Paris; it was to be a day
of 6 train rides; plus many other rides

And here we are, on the outskirts of Paris...

Where a miraculous transformation has taken place...

One enters the park through one of the grand hotels

First sight of Disney Castle 

Merci, Maman

Posing with Grandma and Grandpa

Disney Castle, aka Cinderella's Castle

Our first ride was It's a Small World

Thus

Our next stop was Snow White

Of course, most of what one does at any Disney is stand in line...although, on
this Monday, with school still in session, it was not too bad

Some rides are scary

But there's always a happy ending

And another train to ride

And then anxious anticipation at the beginning of the parade
