Obsessed.
Absolutely obsessed.
I had a 16-hour layover in Paris. And I’d already done the sort of general overview of Paris. (I mean, there’s always much more to explore, but I did get an overview.)
So, when someone was talking about Disney Paris on twitter, I thought, “yep. That’s what I’m gonna do.”
Disney Paris goes SO HARD.
The rides are faster. And longer. And more intense.
Space Mountain (or, I guess Hyperspace Mountain now) has a section that basically goes a little upside down!!!
Ob.sessed.
Tower of Terror seemed to last for about a million minutes. Terrifying in the absolute best way.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad takes you underwater and then you emerge for the ride on this like island thing.
Obseeeeeeeeessed!
Also, it wasn’t even very crowded! I went on Father’s Day. And I never waited more than like 15 minutes for a ride.
The ‘cast members’ were super nice, but I guess that’s what one would expect from Disney.
The Cars ride was super cute because it was two cars talking to each other, and they managed to basically just translate into having French and English, but they did their best into making it sound like a conversation. [So silly and cute, like “[French].” “Oh, did you say [translation of French].” “Oui. [More French].” “So you’re telling me [translation]?”
I’m sure it would’ve felt doubly funny if you actually spoke both languages to hear the cars repeating each other in different languages.
The food is different!
Crepes galore. Jalapeño Peppers.
Not a churro in sight, as far as I saw. Not a turkey leg anywhere. [I wouldn’t have eaten a turkey leg anyway, but I feel like they’re a Disney staple?]
The only mistake I made was I didn’t walk through the castle FIRST. I was gonna do it at the end of the night, on my way out of the park. But they close it down well before the fireworks show. I did not know this.
So, I didn’t get to see the inside of the castle – which is supposed to be quite cool.
But I saw, and absolutely loved, everything else.
I think Disney Paris may just be my favorite Disney yet. Love it, love it, love. Highly recommend.
