When I go to Disney Land California, we head straight for Captain EO first.

On my first trip to DisneyLand Paris I went on the train first, and did one complete circuit from Main Street and I was thinking of doing this again on my next trip

we tend to start off with th studios on our first day, since its opening we have began our trips by dropping in with the tower, then after a little while wandering around the studios... we move on to the park.... in the main park we usually start off by taking some pictures of our castle.... then we move on and it changes every time =]

We always go to the main park first! Throu the turnstiles and then stop to gaze at the castle fron underneath the railroad! Then walk down Mainstreet at have a look around! Some window shopping. And then we try to do a ride! Last year ,as it was raining, we went to see Mickey`s new meet n`greet first. Was nice and dry

not really I guess,

the only thing I really love to do before i'm in disney, is making a whole plan. (I know that I can't do anything on that but it's fun to do it)

I always walk up Main Street and look at the shop windows, but after reading these posts I like the sound of using the Disneyland Railroad first though! Might have to try that next time!

I like to take my time, until I see the castle and then I have to decide whether to savour the moment or run off and do everything!

When we first arrive (usually by Eurostar) we head straight to Annettes for lunch- it just doesn't feel right f we don't!

My first stop is always the shops! Then I start taking as many pictures as I can. The rides are usually an afterthought lol

I normally avoid the shop because I know I'm going to spend ages in them during the whole trip!

Our special rite takes place on the Eurostar before  we arrive. A mad game of Disney snap, whoever wins gets to pick the first ride

I absolutely love that idea! I think I might try that!




I always have a tradition of going straight to Phantom Manor because I love it so much. Its a small world always comes straight afterwards though because it's my sister's favourite.

My special rite is : for sure not to run, contemplate and take a picture of the castle, and then have a coffee at market house deli 


My first ride is generally Buzz, but if come late enough I would definitely run for POTC!

I am also in the process of making a Plan. It's exciting to compile a list of Must Do's, Must Eat at's etc...
I had a great few hours this week talking the plan over with my son when we met for lunch and it really adds to the excitement! I was able to surprise him with the news that I'd bought Fantasy Passport soooo that means we have an excuse to go back within a year 

We don't have rituals but I do know that when I reach Main Street and look around I ALWAYS shed a tear. Such a soppy childish thing to do, but I can't help it.
I even got teary eyed when my son played me the Disney Cruise horn tunes from youtube. Look it up and I guarantee you too will be moved by it

I always go straight to Harrington's to buy a new sparkly figure-then to POTC!

[999ghosts]

I always say "I am home" when I enter the park. Some people then think I am crazy, others... No, wait. All of them think I am crazy.


Lots of other rites during the stay though...

Ohhh, whis "Welcome" at the entrance is so touching!
We love to start with something easy and calm. We make a train round through the parc or we walk Main Street and smile all the time, looking around, looking at each other , then we make a journey with Molly Brown (Mark Twain) and we are ready for the real adventure. Next stop - Fantom Manor 

I am just back from there and I miss it already sooo much!

No way!!! I do that too!!!    When I come out of the eurostar station and into the Disney Village, I have to say it to myself.
