A Day at Disneyland Paris

Here are some pics from my day at Disneyland Paris last week. Read my top tips on visiting the park in this month's newsletter!

Big Thunder Mountain (rollercoaster that goes upside down, woo hoo!)

disney4.jpg
The Phantom Manor (aka Haunted Mansion)...it's supposed to look creepy.

disney5.jpg
Fantasyland (taken from Sleeping Beauty's Château).

disney6.jpg
Inside Sleeping Beauty's Château (looks harmless, but there's a dragon in the dungeon).

disney7.jpg
Disney View of Paris (inside the "It's a Small World" ride). Wouldn't a purple Eiffel Tower be fabu?!

disney8.jpg
A view of Discoveryland (aka Tomorrowland). The Jules Verne-esque theme is much cooler than the decor at California's park.

disney9.jpg
Little aliens (they're so cuuuuuute!) from the new Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast ride.

Disneyland is also popular with wildlife (that's a real heron, not a fake).

And those are real ducks (and flower petals from the trees, not snow).
