So as you will know I went to Disneyland Paris back in September to celebrate my 25th Birthday whilst DLP were celebrating there's so it seemed super fitting to join them.
We travelled from Birmingham Airport on the Monday morning and arrived at the hotel and checked in by 14:00pm which was perfect as it meant we had the afternoon in the parks and time to do some shopping before grabbing an early night.
The new updated hotel rooms are beautiful although I will not stay here again due to the adjoining doors and issues with our neighbours through out our whole holiday.
We cannot believe how much we managed to do in our first afternoon in the parks as it was so quiet and most of the rides were literally walk straight on. Before we went we had written a list of all the rides we wanted to do during our stay and had completed most of them by the afternoon.
First of all we popped to the City Hall to pick up my birthday badge for the Wednesday before making our down Main Street to take photos by the castle in my new favourite spot which made us look like we had the parks all to ourselves it was brilliant!
After this we managed to plough through the following rides;
- Buzz Lazer Blast
- Star Tours
- Hyper Space Mountain
- It's A Small World
- Snow White Story Ride
- Pinocchio Story Ride
- Story Boat Ride
- Pirates Boat Ride
I have to say Hyper Space Mountain was incredible and I'm so happy with the changes that were made to this ride even though the original was amazing this just made it something else and made it feel more thrilling. We ended up riding this 8 time over the course of our trip due to the wait times being so quiet our whole stay and we even got escorted off which I'll tell you about later.
I was also so happy with the updated version of Star Tours as the old version was so dated and the new 3D technology made it amazing and I just couldn't stop laughing the whole time. We ended up on this 4 times as before going I had heard there were multiple versions and each time we went on it it was a different story!
After riding both of these we decided to go and meet Darth Vader as the wait time was only 20 minuets and it was hilarious. While you are waiting for the people in front of you to have your turn you start to feel slightly nervous especially when he then comes around the corner and makes you jump our of your skin with his deep breathing. The whole time we were in there he didn't speak once until I took a selfie with him and was told to be careful and watch who I did that with as it didn't look very good!
Gutted they no longer did the Vader burger I opted for the Jedi Burger meal instead which was only 14.99 euros and came with my favourite Yoda cupcake which tasted how I remembered. Bellies filled and we were off again finishing our night shopping, I was going to do a haul post but to be honest Its been that long I can't remember what I brought but all I know is it wasn't a lot!
We ended back in the hotel room around 21:00pm and listened to what we could hear of the fireworks before trying to get an early night which failed massively due to our room having an adjoining door and our neighbours having to be complained about 3 times before they shut up. Luckily they checked out the next day and our new ones weren't as bad but we still could hear a lot of noise from them. Not exactly what we needed when we had to be up at 06:00am to get ready and go to early magic hours.
That's all for Day 1 and hopefully I'll have Day 2 up and ready for you soon!
