Disneyland Paris ~ a photo journey
I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Disneyland Paris as part of a once in a lifetime trip around the world that I took in 2003. Given the fact that it was a little over 7 years ago when I went, most of the trip report will be told through photos

Re: Disneyland Paris ~ a photo journey
I visited DLP in September of 2003.
Here is the train station mindflipper has mentioned. It literally does drop you off right at the entrance to DLP!
Directly opposite the train station is the entrance to the park...
The Disney hotel is right at the entrance of the park!
I think this is truly one of the most beautiful of the Disney castles! And it has interesting landscaping too...

What is the weather like there during September? I remember in July it would be warm during the day but at night the wind would make it very cold.

It was sort of like our Midwestern Septembers, cool during the day, but warm enough for either shirtsleeves or a light jacket, and then a little cooler at night.Wizzard419 wrote:What is the weather like there during September?

Re: Disneyland Paris ~ a photo journey
Similar when I was there in late August - mildly warm in the day, little cooler at night. But I never needed a jacket.Amy wrote:It was sort of like our Midwestern Septembers, cool during the day, but warm enough for either shirtsleeves or a light jacket, and then a little cooler at night.Wizzard419 wrote:What is the weather like there during September?

Great so far, Amy! More photos! I really wish I could go back now (or at least when it's warmer)!

Wow, Amy, those are gorgeous photos there! One of my friends recently went to DLP in the summer but I didn't get photos so this is nice to see.

Re: Disneyland Paris ~ a photo journey
Amy, I notice the pic of the train station. Did you take the Eurostar into the station, or the RER-A from Paris?

Re: Disneyland Paris ~ a photo journey
Hmmm, good question. I took a ferry from Ireland over to France, so I think it would have been the RER-A. Sorry, that would be something I would have to go back and look up. I know I was on the bullet train at some point in Japan thoughmindflipper wrote:Amy, I notice the pic of the train station. Did you take the Eurostar into the station, or the RER-A from Paris?

I have my RER-A pass next to my DLR ticket as a souvenir.

Re: Disneyland Paris ~ a photo journey
One of my Mom's favorite attractions is Dumbo, so I took a spin on the flying pachyderm for her!
Alice's Curious Labyrinth (and associated restaurant) was closed for refurb while I was there. A shame, as it looked fun!
Peter Pan's Flight had some awesome fiber optic lighting...
Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains (Snow White's Scary Adventures)
It's a Small World reminded me a lot of Disneyland in California...
Right down to the outside canals...

Re: Disneyland Paris ~ a photo journey
I skipped Fantasyland attractions as I was trying to cover the rides that were different from the USA. Now I wish I did ride Pete Pan for that fiber optic effect. I did like the fact that DLP's IASW had the USA as one of the counties inside it.

Re: Disneyland Paris ~ a photo journey
Not only did it have USA, it didn't have Woody and Jessie in it! I do have some IASW photos, I'll have to sift through and see what isn't too blurry. Much like at DL and WDW, the low light levels trip me up in theremindflipper wrote:I skipped Fantasyland attractions as I was trying to cover the rides that were different from the USA.

Re: Disneyland Paris ~ a photo journey
No, DLP's IASW has yet to suffer "toonification" like TDL and DLR. I haven't been on WDW's IASW, has it suffered "toonification" yet?

Nope ~ no toons have invaded. I do wish they would do the holiday overlay though, I like the music for thatmindflipper wrote:No, DLP's IASW has yet to suffer "toonification" like TDL and DLR. I haven't been on WDW's IASW, has it suffered "toonification" yet?
