FAMILY TRIP TO DISNEYLAND PARIS - Part 3

Hello again!

I just want to continue my blog regarding our family's vacation in Disneyland Paris on March 10-13.
















On the third day of our stay in Disneyland Paris, we went back to Disneyland Park during the early opening hours so that Jappy and Alyssa can take the rides that they missed especially those in Fantasyland. These rides always have long line-ups during regular hours.



They rode two of the most famous rides in Disneyland - Dumbo, The Flying Elephant and the Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups.

















We also went with them to the following rides: Peter Pan’s Flight, Le Carousel De Lancelot, and Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs.

At 10:00 a.m., the Disney characters are once again out at the park to greet the visitors and take photos with them. We had the chance to have a photo shoot with Mickey Mouse outside his house and Alyssa was able to get his autograph as well.













Then off we went to the other themed park, the Walt Disney Studios. At the entrance, you will see its landmark, the Earffel Tower. The weather isn’t that good coz it was raining a little bit and it’s quite windy and cold. But it’s a good thing that most of the shows and attractions we visited were indoors so everything worked together for good. Praise God!







The Walt Disney Studios has four parts, the Production Courtyard, Toon Studio, Backlot and Front Lot.






At the Front Lot, you will find the entry to Disney Studio 1, usually the Disney characters are here signing autographs and taking photos with the guests. As you enter the studio, you will find various restaurants and souvenir stores. We ate our lunch here before going to the different attractions.
















At the Production Courtyard, the attractions you will find are “Stitch Live!”, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Cinemagique and the Studio Tram Tours. We watched the show “Stitch Live!”, an interactive attraction where Stitch interacts with you through a real time animation. We also watched the show in Cinemagique where the main character went to the different settings of various classic movies.


At the Backlot, you will find the attractions “Moteurs . . . In Action! Stunt Show Spectacular”, “Armageddon Special Effects” and “Rock ‘n’ Roller starring Aerosmith”.


We were able to watch the stunt show “Moteurs . . . In Action! Stunt Show Spectacular”. This is one of the best shows in Disneyland, we got to sit in the grandstand and watched spectacular car and motorcycle stunts being filmed in a village setting.








Next we went to “Armageddon – The Special Effects” attraction where we got to enter a space craft’s control room to experience what the stars of the movie “Armageddon” felt while filming the movie when they were bombarded by rocks from an asteroid causing fire inside the space craft.

At Toon Studio, you will find the attractions “Crush’s Coaster”, “Cars Race Rally”, “Animagique”, “Art of Disney Animation”, and the “Flying Carpets Over Agrabah.” We enjoyed watching the show at “Animagique” where we saw Mickey and Donald and a lot of Disney characters live on stage singing and dancing through the different Disney classic songs in various settings of the classic Disney cartoons. Jappy and Alyssa also rode the Crush’s Coaster roller coaster ride which is inspired by the “Finding Nemo” movie. In the “Art of Disney Animation” you will be able to watch the history of animation and try in your own hand some animation techniques.








We decided to go back to the hotel at around 6 p.m. But we ate dinner first at McDonald’s and had some picture-taking at the vicinity of our hotel where you will see the other Disney hotels and the Hot Air Balloon, that serves as a landmark for Disneyland Paris.






What a day! Whew . . . . But it was another fun day. We truly enjoyed all the attractions in Walt Disney Studios.

Until my next blog . . . . Thanks for visiting! God bless you. . . . . .
