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

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?
Why do all my dreams extend, just around the riverbend?// DREAMERS UNITE! ?

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 went to go back my tri-pod and I took some more photos of the entrance sign.


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.

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 to the Cabine Des Robinsons as it's ALWAYS closed. Ha. But that god it was open this time.



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.

Ha, had to get these photos! We all know how much I love Peter. =D



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!



THANKS GUYS! SEE YOU IN THE NEXT ONE!  :D  :thumbs:

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. :)
