Title: A suprise trip to Disneyland Paris! Nov 2009
Post by: Princess_Chazy on March 07, 2010, 11:56:27 AM
As an early Christmas present and a surprise my fiance Ben planned this all in secret. This was only my 2nd trip but was so amazing to see it all Christmassey!
We arrived at the Santa Fe quite late so we headed straight to bed to be fresh for the day ahead. I can't remember which day was which so i can't list each day its all rolled into one lol.
First stop on day 1 was breakfast.

We then popped to Backlot Express (think thats what its called,can't remember if its changed its name now) to see what it looked like now the High School Musical & Pirates theme had taken the place of the old one

Your photos are lovely. It looked like you had a great time. If only I was brave enough to go there for Winter...it did look quite cold!!! Autumn is late enough for me and my small people! Hopefully when they are bigger I could go for a Christmas visit.
