DisneyLand Paris

Hello dears.

DisneyLand Paris is quite good as a freebie weekend gift. Saturday
was Paris, staying at the Mercure hotel 1 minute away from the Eiffle
Tower and Sunday was pure DisneyLand.

I had no real idea of what the 'rides' were so didn't put too much
thought into it but we (my colleagues and I) got on what we wanted.

This is the order I saw the attractions:

Space Mountain: Mission 2 (Fucking GREAT)
Honey I Shrunk the Audience (So so cinema show)
Pirates of the Caribbean (Quite Sedate)
Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril (Very good)
Space Mountain: Mission 2 (Still fucking great)

I also got to touch up Micky AND Mini Mouse at the same time but
didn't get my photo taken with them.

I always find it funny that there are some cities that I can't feel at
home in and some that I do feel at home in. I could never live in
London but Paris would be fine.

One of the first things I noticed about Paris was the number of two
wheeled beasties around. As with all cities there were a fair share
of scooters but I was surprised about the number of proper motorcycles
that were in use and littered around the pavements without being
ticketed. I saw plenty of Yamahas, quite a few Beemers, a Buell or
two and a couple of Suzuki Bandits.

Also: SLEEP

 

So you didn't try Aladdin's Enchanted Passage?

Shortly after DP opened (when it as called Euro Disney), some French
newspaper decided to play a practical joke and sent in a reporter
dressed up in a Bugs Bunny suit. We was there for some time, waving,
cuddling infants, posing for photographs etc, before someone senior
twigged that Bugs Bunny was Warner Brothers and therefore The
Opposition, and he was escorted off the premises.

This sounds worryingly like a hypnotic command.

 

Because I was delving deep inside Indiana Jones' darkest cavity.

 

Wot, no Star Tours? Or is there none in Paris?

Barcelona is my spiritual home... well, Sitges, to be precise.

There is one, but it is universally regarded as utter shit so I didn't
bother wasting my time.

 

I've done the Disneyland one loadsa times and loved it, but I don't know if
it differs.

Paris is a shit hole.

 

I find London to be a shit hole too (in many areas) but I would prefer
Paris.

 

this has been done to death already, but really, IMO&E Paris has got no
advantages in any area over London.

 

Fairy nuff.
