Hey everyone! Currently uploading and editing my photos from my recent trip to Disneyland Paris for the 20th Anniversary!
The trip was from 10th-13th April.
I just wanted to get this sorted out ready for the first day - which was rainy. Fail.
Still - I hope you guys will enjoy this once I get the ball rolling!
:thumbs:
Looking forward to it. I shall be looking to see if I have managed to sneak into any of your photos. ;)
Look forward to another one of your reports!

Sorry, I didn't do one. I will be doing a small one soon to explain why and just to say a few things. =]
DAY 1!Tuesday 10th April. We arrived the night before on a later flight - we got the TGV to Disney then took the RER to Val d'Europe to stay at the L'Elysée. We then had a late dinner at the local pizza place.
We got to the park at 10:30 as we took the connection bus late and also there was slight traffic.

It was completely over-cast, cold with a bit of light rain here and there - so I didn't take any photos of the castle as of yet - however we headed straight through the empty central plaza and straight into Fantasyland! Then towards Alice's Labrynth.

We came out and saw our first characters of the day! Mary and Bert!

Tried to get a photo together however they went in - but while we waited Hatter and ALICE appeared. I've never seen Alice in Paris before, so I ran to have my photo!
(//http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7260/6938621848_1257c05e3b.jpg)(//http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7213/7084707875_f2ea2a6c1a.jpg)(//http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7269/7084728797_be96bc39b6.jpg)(//http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7200/6938688350_640410264e.jpg)
We followed Hatter who was talking to guests in the line for the Labrynth.

We then followed him to the Tea-cups and just watched him being Mad. :D

It then rained like mad! So we ran to take shelter near Adventureland.
(//http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7227/7084836253_9a0b06c84f.jpg)
We then saw Pinccohio, Gepetto and Gideon! I didn't get any photos as they just ran out and we walked past them. Well I did. and they were walking fast. XD

The rain let up and we walked through Fantasyland towards Small world - it then began raining even harder! >.< We saw Alice and Hatter still out and Alice shouted "OH MY! WHERE DID ALL THIS RAIN COME FROM?" They ran away - but we walked towards Mainstreet without seeing Mickey! I thought my dad was joking when he was behind me!
(//http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5280/6938780208_457d5970cc.jpg)
On Mainstreet - we saw Cinderella, her Prince, Snow White and Aurora! Who came out from the Arcade we think

We made our way back down - had tea and some cakes in the corner shop - because it was still raining - it was soooo busy!
Then the rain let up for a while.

We made our way to Adventureland and saw Aladdin, Genie and Jafa! Sadly, Jafa and Genie left before I had my photo. But I got one with Aladdin.

Thank goodness by this point the sun was shining through! So we made our way to the top of Adventureland to see the newly painted ship!

We then went into Skull Rock!
(//http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7230/6940960648_70f8482db7.jpg)
We then went back to Fantasyland! I wanted to capture Fantasyland as much as possible so I took some panoramas!

It then started raining even harder! So we ran through Discoverland into Videopolisis and sat watching Cartoons for a while. Ha, we then just walked around the place until the rain settled down. Eating at Casey's and just relaxing. Also I bought another PIN! A Peter Pan one. =D

Then we got a good-ish place for the parade! I have better photos to upload soon! But these will do for now. =D

Quote from: "tink30"Fantastic photos :thumbs: what camera do you use?
I use a brand new Sony SLT A55. I only got it a week before I went to LA in March. :D
DAY 2!Next day we headed straight to the Studios - which was weird since we normally go in the park first.
We headed straight for Crushes Coaster which non of us have been on before and after a 90 minute wait- OMG! It was soooo fast and intense. >.< I didn't like it.
After we headed to meet Buzz.

Then headed towards Toy Story Playland and it started to rain again.

We then just chilled - sat on a bench - looked in the shops - had lunch. Waited for characters that never arrived. So we got a good space for Star's n' Car's.

We then headed back to the park and stopped by in the hotel so see if they character event on the stairs was for Thurs-Sun. But at the same time we saw lots of Mercedes Limos arrive and a ever rich looking Arab woman arrive with guests.
My dad kept saying that it might have been The Prince.
But we were unsure at this point.

We then went into the park and just camped out for the parade. Got a nice spot in the shade and I was sooo happy for the sun to be shining!

Special love for the toy-soilder on the left! He waved at me and kept looking at me - we think it might be a certain boy who doesn't want to grow up! :P

If you go to 3:10. The Toy soilder on the left of the screen notices me - he then crosses over but then comes back to the left side. But he keeps looking at me throughout the entire performance! But he waves at me like "oh i know you!" - not just "a general parade wave". He was smiling at me any everything! AH! :D I really do think its.... :peter: from last year! <3
Please note I didn't really have the camera up that much - and I did wave back - thats why he nodded. AH! I hope it was! XD
We then headed towards the Dragon - I wanted to take some long-shutter photos of the dragon and my tripod broke... ¬.¬
One of the legs got stuck but I was still able to use it.

I also took some photos of the firework cannons on the castle - but some strange reason - they were blurry as hell. So i left them out.

Thank you! :D
I said at the top of day 2 - I use a brand new Sony SLT A55. I only got it a week before I went to LA in March. It's a bit pricey but I think it's completely worth it. :thumbs:
Lovely report with great photos as always!
Keep it coming :D/
stunning photos and great report. i am sure we saw you at the park...it was the hair that caught my eye lol.
Sounds like you had a great trip
Asolutly stunning pictures!!
I liked the ones in La Taniere du Dragon. Mine are always a little too dark.
Looking forward for more.

Duffy is nice theres nothing wrong with him - just the price of his damn bear and clothes. :P
THE DAY! IT FINALLY CAME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DISNEYLAND PARIS!
Day 3! PART 1!
We got up nice and early! We made sure to get the earliest bus to the park - we then went to place my tripod in the hold so we weren't carrying it around all day - but we were glad we came straight away as the queues were huge - of course they weren't letting anyone in yet - but still.
We then pushed our way through - I ran and grabbed about 14 of the schedules and inspected it thoroughly! I was happy with the amount that was going on in the day. We saw the giant monitors but we ran to the left and got in the crowd ready to view the flash mob!
I nearly cried - it was a magical moment.

Me and my mother watched a bit on the screens and the planes flew over head was amazing!
We then pushed our way through to try and meet Phillip Gas. (CEO)

We then went on a VERY mad goose-chase for that damn pin! We went two shops on Main-street - one just ran out as soon as we entered and the other said "they don't have any".
So we ran down to Fantasyland to try there - no luck - my dad left and checked in Discoveryland and then Adventureland. He called my mum to tell her that he got the pin - and I was getting upset. lol But we met back up in Fantasyland and I was happy - until I thought my lost my pass and we went back towards Mainstreet looking (thought I dropped it in one of the stores were I did buy another pin) but thank goodness it was stuck in one of the many schedules we picked up.
So we then headed towards Videopollis as I wanted to see a bit of the talk with Tony Baxter.

Which was the Discoveryland Celebrates! Show with characters. =D

We then took a leisurely stroll towards Adventureland to grab a drink and something to snack on - I wish we got there earlier - but I didn't think it was going to be on the worlds smallest area. >.<

We then headed straight to Frontireland for a front-ish row seat of the show. Which I LOVED!

We then just chilled for a while - no more shows till later.
(//http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7091/6947753902_c150e10cda.jpg)
BTW THE CASTLE SPARKLED! We all said at the same time "Since when does it sparkle?" Ha. It was really pretty - it should do that more often. :D
My video didn't work - nor did my photos pick it up.
There might be something out there.
But it was on the entire castle - little white dots - even on the side roof above the wishing well. :D

And I'll leave it there for now! Next post - more Magic on Parade and the MainStreet U.S.A Celebrates! Show, plus more photos of Dreams!
Thanks guys. :thumbs:
I am really enjoying your trip report, photos and videos are fantastic. we are visiting in 4 weeks time and also staying at hotel l'elysee, so i'd love to know how you found the hotel x
Yes it's such a good idea to have short videos with characters. Brilliant!
Ah Laura, this is great, as always. Really enjoying it. Its giving me that excited tingle in my tummy ready for my trip in 6 weeks. I love the photos. Brilliant x
I've really enjoyed looking at your photos so far. They're so wonder and the color and quality is excellent. It makes me want to get a nicer camera before my next trip. Can't wait to see some more.
Love your report so far Laura!

I thought it pretty all right - the only thing is we didn't have the breakfast as it was very expensive and we've been told a bit rubbish. Over all the beds were nice and comfy, Tv had some okay channels, bathroom was nice and large, the toiletries were nice (took a Aloe soap and still using it in my bathroom now. lol) Staff were very nice and helpful and over all the entire hotel was very clean. One night when we came back they were showing football which was nice for my dad. lol
The towels were a bit "scratchy" and we only had for two when we arrived but got more the next day without asking.
Also our bathroom door squeaked but that is probably just our room.
But yeah, I would totally stay again! But ah - the bus on the way back is rediculous! There was only one bus at 10:30 and then another at 11:35. So we had to get the RER to Val D'Europe all nights because we didn't want to wait for the bus. But in the morning it was fine just cramped - so you can get the train if you want. It was about 1,35 Euro per person. So depends on what you want.
AH! You need to place your door-key-card into a slot just by the door to turn the lights on - so when you take it - all the lights go off. Which is a pretty decent feature - but we didn't realise straight away and panicked little. Ha. And the bathroom doesn't have a switch it's automatic - so when you enter in the middle of the night it's really bright and doesn't turn off for about 5 minutes. But it's not that bad. lol
But yeah, I would stay again - I might be in the end of May.
Hope this helped. I'll answer any more questions if you have any. =] :thumbs:
Did you use flash on your photos Laura?
Oh oh... A picture with Angel and Stitch, thats my daughters dream!¨ I know, I mentioned it before :oops:
Great pictures again, thank you! =D>
Aurora1
thank you so much for all your hotel tips. i have heard the shuttle bus gets quite crowded so had thought we might use the RER a few times :) As for the towels i am glad you said as i wasnt going to take any with me ( saving on the luggage weight) but i might take a couple now.
Thanks again for filling me in x
Quote from: "littlemermaid83"Did you use flash on your photos Laura?
No, I never. The built in flash is rubbish. lol I just edit them slightly to brighten up the darker ones.

I was going to say they are excellent photos!
Lovely Photos!
I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your report.
I love your trip reports and all the pictures you take on your trips! This is so good so far I can't wait to see the rest of it :)
So something is not completely clear to me; these shows in all the different lands, will they be on for the entire duration of the 20th anniversary or were they april 12th-only?
Wonderful, wonderful report =D> The quality of your photos are excellent, superb image quality :)
I also forgot to mention that we saw Peter Andre the night before! My mum really likes him and she got a photo! I won't upload it but it was funny and just awesome. XD
THE DAY! IT FINALLY CAME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DISNEYLAND PARIS!
Day 3! PART 2!
We then headed to wait for the parade as I wanted a good space we got there early and also right in the entrance to Fantasyland.

We then headed to Belle Note for food and even though it was 6 in the evening, they ran out of meals and we had to have pasta. >.< Oh well, we then headed to Mainstreet for the MainStreet Celebrates show! We watched the first and I had a crap place for photos so we stayed for the next show and got a better view so the next photos are from both shows.

We then headed towards the central plaza to hear music and CHARACTERS! I was so annoyed but happy at the same time - oh there where soooo many. Fab 5, Clarice, Max, Turk (!) Peter, Hook, Smee, Rapunzel, Flynn, Phillip, Aroura, Woody, Jessie, Winnie the pooh characters. SO MANY! But they left like 10 minutes later so...

I've never had a photo with a Prince before and Phillip is my favourite! So to have a photo with him AND Aurora, oh it made my night, they both where lovely to me. Ekk!
We then stayed in the plaza for Dreams! one last time.

Same video - I just want to try and get it out there more.
...and then back to the hotel for the final night!
It was an amazing day! :D :D
Again, nice pictures :-)
What do you think of the show with Duffy and Mary and Berth, and the show with Max?
The last day.
Took our time getting to the park this morning - since it's the last day and we had all our bags. Ha. We got in late and we headed towards Central Plaza and Pooh was out early! So we jumped into the queue. It was about 40 minute wait but I really wanted a photo with him. We also saw the Celebration Train again and this time it stopped - however I didn't want to go see those characters.

We then headed to the Princess Pavillion. Even though it was a 90 minute wait, I wanted to show my parents inside and also I did want a photo with a princess and pray that it was one I hadn't had a professional one with yet.

Unfortunately I was Ariel whom I've had a professional photo with before - however this holiday me and the friend of Ariel seem to bump into each a lot. =D
We then headed around Fantasyland and just chilled for a while.

However really annoyed to find out that the princess swap was Cinderella and Rapzunel - I've never had a professional photo with either - not even met Punzel yet! So damn you Ariel and Tiana. lol

We then headed off to do some shopping - will show what I've bought in another post. =D
After we then went to see the Decent of the stairs show in the Hotel as I've never seen one before. It was a nice sweet show and OMG RARE CHARACTER! lol

We had some time to kill before we went to eat and get the train back - so we headed into the studio one last time to look at merch and see if there were any characters.

We then went to Annettes for dinner and we then got out bags and headed back to the train-station and went home. :(
Such an amazing trip!
I will post all that I bought soon.
And here are some edited versions of my favourite photos from the trip so far!

wanted to wait till the end to say fantastic, amazing,stunning and very very enjoyable report......your pics are amazing you are truelly talented at taking pics,i'm stunned.
loved reading everything and seeing the pics you've made me want to go sooner than i can:-)
Just a quick note (I don't think I've actually ventured forth in doing so before, apologies!) to say Laura, your trip reports and photos are just lovely. Whenever I'm feeling a bit unmotivated or depressed at work I can take a look at your various reports and relive the excitement you feel vicariously through them. Your enthusiasm is infectious and I wish you many more happy trips!
It is seeing how inspiring your trip reports can be that makes me guilty I haven't written my own for the last two trips we took. I've been putting off doing so as I tend to type too much and agonise over which photos to include, so I fear it would take rather a long time, but perhaps it is worth it so that others can experience the parks from different people's perspectives, research before a trip, or see what the areas are like in different times of year and weather. I wrote a (rather long) restaurant report, which people seemed to find useful rather than boring, so maybe I should give it a go. lol
Either way I enjoy reading other people's trip reports, and yours in particular stand out as a positive, happy example of how to do them "properly" ! Thank you for sharing your memories. :)
great report =] got to say that last piccy the one of the castle is by far my favorite =] of the lot =]
I have to admit I just love trip reports and over the years I've read some superb ones :) Without doubt this has to be up there with the best of them =D> Loved every word and photo is this report, just wonderful =D>
Thanks for sharing your vacation with us, thanks indeed :thumbs:

Yes anyone can go - if you walk down the side of the hotel to the right (facing it) towards the luggage storage - there is the over-pass of the hotel and to the left (opposite Donalds Desk) there is a revolving door - inside is the decent of the stairs - sometimes it's at 4pm sometimes 5pm - there is a sign near the stairs to the right telling you about it.
No the shows were only for the 12th April as it was the official birthday of Disneyland Paris.
Ha, I would love too! :P - however I do not do anything different! I just search for them! Also go in busy seasons. Ha.
