Day 19: Saturdays

It was a nice day of catching up - Mike was in charge of an all day Single Adult Conference - they had an International Day and dinner, and dancing - it was cute because Mike was the High Council Rep "chaperone"!

The rest of us went to see Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs - and just did laundry - so I thought I'd share more pictures of our trip (we have a couple hundred) it was such a fun trip.




You can go up into Sleeping Beauty's castle here - it's so pretty inside and a wonderful view!

Day 16: Disney Studios

They have their own Disney Studios (like California Adventure or Universal) - similar to CA Adventure the lines can be long, no Fast Track and a little crazy.

We tried to get on Crush's Coaster twice - after waiting for over an hour and having it break down before we even got close, then again the boys waited 20 mins before it broke again we decided it wasn't meant to be.

But Mike & I found a fantastic new rollercoaster (all the big kids like it too) Rockin' Roller Coaster - by Aerosmith - it's interesting to have Steven Tyler screaming in your ear while you're turning upside down!

They have a bunch of pixar rides which was so fun - but one thing about Eurodisney in general - you get to see all kinds of characters everywhere and get lots of autographs (too bad we didn't bring our books!)

We watched a parade and all the characters came up to see Tristy-Lu!







Day 15: New Family Ride

Officially our new family ride is the Buzz Lightyear Laser ride! It was so fun going through the ride and listening to Buzz speak in French! I think we rode it about 10 times - and the biggest winner..... Mom with 190,200 points!!!

DAY 14: 2nd Happiest Place on Earth

I absolutely loved EuroDisney. It truly is smaller than CA - but it has all the same lands basically - it is designed the same way sans the congestion points (you know what I mean if you've ever tried to go through New Orleans around Pirates) The fun thing is that they basically just picked most of the best rides and put them here. But the rides are the same - Peter Pan, Snow White, Dumbo, Tea Cups, Space Mountain, and Buzz Lightyear....

Our vacation is generally a week off from the rest of Europe - so it isn't as crowded as it could be when we go on vacation. It was just great....

Day 13: EuroDisney!

Upon arrival you see The Disneyland Hotel - so pretty

After entering the park you see the railway station and all the great Halloween decorations...

You walk in and you see Disney Main Street just like in CA - but by now the kids are tired of mom making them turn around every 5 seconds for a photo-op!
