We're back from Disneyland

Scott and I went to Disneyland Paris now a week ago just for 2 days. There is a Eurostar (fast train) that goes directly from London St. Pancras to Disneyland Paris in 2.5 hours. It is quite nice to ride the Eurostar and not bother with the airport security lines and sitting on a plane for who knows how long.

Disneyland Paris celebrated their 15 year Anniversary last year so they seem to have made it through their rough times that had back in the late 90's. The Eurostar drops you off at the entrance to the two parks that are at Disneyland Paris (Disneyland Park and MGM Studios). Disneyland Park is the equivalent to Magic Kingdom. We stayed at the Radison Hotel which is located on the Disney Golf Course and was a really nice setting.

MGM Studios- there are a few new rides but it is about 1/3 of the size as the one in Orlando. They just opened Tower of Terror 2 weeks before we arrived and the first day the line was really short so we were in and out of the ride in 20min! That was great! They also changed the ride a bit from the one in Orlando so the drops were in different places. The other ride we rode quite a few times was Aerosmith's Rockin Roller coaster. This was not much different than the one in Orlando although it was suppose to be so maybe I missed something.

Disneyland Park- everything looked the same when you entered the park even down to Scott's favorite Casey's Hot dogs (even though they cost a fortune). We went on Space Mountain 2 which was great but the massive headache you had after the ride was almost not worth going on the ride.....doesn't mean we didn't ride it 3 times in a row since no one was in line :-) They best part was they shot you up at the beginning of the ride which got the momentum going well. After that we headed over to Big Thunder 2 which also was different. They had the roller coaster go through a few dark spots which made it better.

We hung out in the evening at the Disney Village (equivalent of Downtown Disney) except no where near the shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Still we had a nice relaxing time.

All in all it was a nice quick weekend away. I leave you with some pictures of the park!
