Just thought id share a few photos and do a little trip report for Christmas Disneyland Paris trip.

Who: Me (Matthew) and my lovely girlfriend Natalie.
When: Sunday 30th November to Friday 5th December
Where: The Disneyland Hotel
How: Eurostar Standard Premier
Trip Count: 9

This is our 2nd trip during the Christmas Season, we went the same time last year and it was absolutely amazing so we thought we would just do the same dates again this time round.


Travel:
We travelled down to London on the Saturday before via Train and had half a day in London but didn't really do much just looked around the area around Kings Cross, I did check out the Harry Potter shop though which was pretty good.  But the photo location is a bit mad now. Last time I was there you could just walk up to it but now it's all controlled with the official photographer - I don't like Harry Potter anyway.



The Eurostar was great! It was the first time I've ever been on it, although I don't think I would be saying that if I was in standard class as it looked chaotic with kids, suitcases and pushchairs everywhere.  In our train there was only about 10 people and then probably about another 6 got on at the other stops.


Sunday (First Day)

When we arrived we dropped out bags off at the Disney Express and headed to Disneyland Parc which was really busy! The previous day has been at capacity I believe. So we just had a wonder around the shops and just had a wonder around really.  We then went back to the Hotel to check in properly and see our room and just have a break.







This was our room:


This was our view: (excuse the fog)


Our cases were brought to our room and we also go complimentary room service of some drinks and a few cakes which was nice. (Natalie answered the door to them and was trying to ask how much it was while the CM was looking very confused and trying to explain that it was free haha)

Anyway we then went back to the Park as it was starting to quiet down and rode a few rides, PM, POTC, SM, BTM ect and had dinner somewhere (I can't remember where, I think it was the Lucky Nugget Saloon) Before making our way over to the plaza for dreams.







I must say that the Sunday was unbelievably foggy and I had half expected reams to be cancelled.

So New Disney Dreams of Christmas starts and after a few fireworks went off, it was impossible to see anything. The technical crew realised this and stopped anymore fireworks and after a few minutes it got a little better, but no more fireworks.


Overall I kinda liked the new Dreams but I did think that anyone who was only going to see it that night would be disappointed by it.


I shall write up the rest later

Monday - WDS Parc, Disneyland Parc + Full Disney Dreams of Christmas
Tuesday - More Disneyland Parc + Buffalo Bills Wild West Show
Wednesday - Parc Des Feline + Solo Disneyland Parc
Thursday - WDS, DLP
Friday - WDS, DLP + Home Time

Instead of writing up the rest i'm just adding some of my favourite photos and a few selfies too


Le Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant looked amazing in the thick fog


A lovely photo of Orbitron


Space Mountain is still my favourite ride (De La Terre a La Lune was better though)


Natalie with Toulouse


The mini fridge at Disneyland Hotel (I worked out how much it would cost to buy it all but can't remember what it was, It was a lot though)


A nice photo of Big Thunder Mountain


Natalie still refuses to go on Tower of Terror after our last trip, I still went on though.


We saw Cinemagique for the first time this trip (I can't believe iv never seen it before it was wonderful!)


I really like the new WDS logo on the earful tower,

Another lovely photo of Le Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant


We also went to BBWWS for the first time and had a fantastic time!


On the Wednesday of our trip we had an excursion to Parc Des Feline, a nearby zoo that specialises in Cats! Natalie, who is obsessed with cats absolutely loved it, we  both did it was fantastic (very cold though)







When we go back Natalie went for a nap and so I went to the park by myself and got a few rides in, including 8 times in a row on Space Mountain (and my neck is fine)



And then a few photos from our last day morning at 8.00am in the park.




Our next trip is booked for November/December 2015 5nights/6days at Sequoia Lodge Golden Forest Lake Side.


Thanks for looking!

I love Christmas time in Disneyland! I have been around the same dates a few years back and I loved it. Can't wait for the rest of the report and the pictures. Seeing that big Christmas tree makes me wish I was there in the Christmas season.

We were there the same days as you guys in the pink hotel. The photos bring back lots of memories but glad we didn't go into the park on the Sunday night to see Dreams, as we arrived at tea time, if the fog was so bad.

Debating whether to go for Sequoia Golden Forest or DLH again this time. Loved the closeness to the park and luxury of DLH, but love the roaring fire in the relaxing bar and GF perks at SL.

Awesome! This was the 2nd time we've been the first week in December, last year it was so quiet but it was bit busier this time, but we've book again for the same week this year.

Iv booked Sequoia Lodge Golden Forest, but I do keep wondering if I should change it to the Disneyland Hotel as it was just amazing being so close to the park.

8 times in a row on Space Mountain Mission 2? I take my hat off to you! I doubt I could manage beyond 2 or 3!

You'd get on well with my hardcore cousin. She did Rock N Roller Coaster avec Aerosmith 15 times in a day!!!
