Euro Disney

On y va!!!

Look at all those umbrellas!

On Saturday, Dec. 3rd, my two Argentinian friends, Pipi and Sebastian and I went to Euro Disney along with some other UTC kids. We left Compiègne around 8 in the morning, still dark out and of course raining.  Crazy European weather.  Anyways I was not expecting a lot of people to be there since it was raining, but turns out there were lots of people there. 

Everything was decorated for Christmas and it was all lit up. It was so cool. I have never seen Disney dressed for Christmas before! This was Pipi and Sebastian’s first time at Disney so they were like two little kids in awe of everything. There were two parks there, one similar to Magic Kingdom and another similar to MGM Studios. As soon as we arrived, I took them on Tower of Terror. It’s my least favorite ride, but they really wanted to do it. After that we headed to Rockin’ Rollercoaster, but there was a long wait so we got fast passes and went to see the cars stunt show in between. We headed back to Rockin’ Rollercoaster and Sebas was amazed at how we got to “cut” the line. We sat in the first seat and it was his first time ever sitting in the front seat before. It was pretty awesome. 

and its still raining...

There was not much else there so we headed over to Magic Kingdom. We headed to the castle first. It was Sleeping Beauty’s castle, a pink one, and much smaller than the one in Orlando, but it was fine for Pipi and Sebas. After that we ate lunch and saw the Mickey spectacle which was half in French and half in English. Pretty funny. It was weird to have Sleeping Beauty be the main princess. We don’t even really acknowledge her as a "main princess" in the US. Also, they had the girl from The Princess and the Frog as well as Rapunzel from Tangled perform. Afterwards, we went on Space Mountain and Thunder Railroad. By that time it was pretty late and everyone wanted to buy a few goodies before we left. We went browsing through a few shops in Magic Kingdom, but no one found anything, except for me. I found a 101 Dalmatians postcard. There was lots of shopping in MGM so we headed back there. 

The Spectacle

On our way back though, Pipi realized she lost her ticket therefore she would not be allowed back in. I let her take my ticket because it was her first time in Disney and she wanted to buy her family some things. I waited outside the park while they went shopping. Probably for the better, this way I didn’t spend any money! When they were done, we headed to the bus and headed home. It was a great day, full of rain, but full of laughs.
