The Labyrinth looks so fun! All the different photo ops are so cute!
Their PoTC looks awesome!!! Now I'd like them to refurb WDW'sAt the end Barbarossa shows up and turns into the skeleton! It’s a pretty well-done effect
That seems sort of frustrating--good thing you found a resource to help you know what to expect as far as what's open/closed. One more thing to keep track of!
Wowza. That's beyond rude and ridiculous!(Which resulted in another wonderful park guest experience where a pre-teen boy basically punched me in the chest; like literally, he wasn’t surprised by me walking and wasn’t flailing his arms, he just decided to hit me! Truly ridiculous!)
Oh, I love this!!!
ust crazy here with trips and recovering from trips and planning new trips!
But I am putting a big effort this weekend to getting further in this report!
View of Thunder Mesa from the top
As I was eating my bread, I heard a series of clomping down the stairs right behind me and thought, who is that klutz? Well, I hear “hello!” and look up to see the owner, Captain Jack himself! The meal isn’t advertised as a character dining because I don’t think he’s always there, but luckily he showed up this time!
We ended up having a fun discussion where I let him know this version of pirates was my favorite. So then he asked if I wanted a photo. I got up to try and snap a selfie, which probably was going to be horrible. And he goes, oh that won’t do – grabs my phone with one hand, my hand with the other and pulls me up the steps to find a waiter who took some great photos of us! It was honestly great! Just an overall fun experience!

I saw this at Toad Hall, which was a normal occurrence at restaurants around the park. Basically they only open on certain days (and times).
And the American guys are hilarious at the end! Rah!
I did love the Barbossa effect, especially since I hadn't watched any ride-throughs so I had no idea what to expect!That Barbossa effect looks awesome! Ooo, I really want to see Paris' now.
The Curious Labyrinth looks like a place I'd spend way too long in. You'd never get me out. You'd genuinely think it was a maze. So cute and the views from the Queen of Hearts' castle are GORJ. Paris seems a lot more open than the other castle parks I've noticed hmmm
I know! I wanted to get my friend's daughter a dress, but they are pricier and she isn't into princesses (yet - i'm working on that), so skipped it.Alright those are absolutely precious. I might have to pick some up for my niece when we go...
Very nicely put!Nice to know that they aren't just making stuff up (except for when they're supposed to be making stuff up).
I know! I was happy to have people take my photo rather than awkward selfies!Ah, so glad you found nice families to take your photo! That's one of the downsides of solo travel, but there are usually enough kind people around who can help you out.
They were very nice!The Labyrinth looks so fun! All the different photo ops are so cute!
I can't wait to see the version in Shanghai!Their PoTC looks awesome!!! Now I'd like them to refurb WDW's
Yeah, I think Disney Tourist Blog gave a link to them. But it could be annoying - at least I wasn't planning a lot of QS meals.That seems sort of frustrating--good thing you found a resource to help you know what to expect as far as what's open/closed. One more thing to keep track of!
Hmm, well maybe get her into an archery class once you move to England, and then can ease her into Merida? Or they just need some awesome villain costumes too!Aren't the princess costumes at DLP stunning? We tried to get Evie to interested in the Merida costume but no luck.
I think I lucked out on low crowds and decent weather. It did have its rainy bits, but overall, it worked out well!I can't believe how uncrowded it looks!
I guess just a cost savings measure. Maybe now that Disney has taken full control over the park, they will eventually change it?That's so odd, I wonder why??
The worst issue. Why is international shipping so expensive??I had to hold off from buying them all (luggage space issues)
Wow all those details are amazing! There is seriously so much to look at in this park. Even all the stores seem incredibly themed.There is a lovely waiting plaza outside Auberge de Cendrillon
Huh, do you think that's because it was summer? We're going in September and I hoped to grab an ornament but I guess I won't get my hopes up.Everything was too generic and could have been purchased at any Disney store, not exclusive to Disneyland Paris. This fall though I was able to find some more special ones on the Shop Disney UK site (which just started selling some of the DLP items), so had them shipped over from the UK! I’ll include photos at the end of the report!
Yeah at least for Asia, I'm already planning on packing a suitcase inside another one for all the souvenirs I'll end up buying!The worst issue. Why is international shipping so expensive??

Yes, they are gorgeous!I would have gone crazy over the stuffed animals! haha
The Cinderella window display is so pretty! And the Sleeping Beauty stained glass windows are stunning!
And the plushies were in the Seven Dwarves beds! It took me a moment to realize that! Simplet, Atchoum, Joyeux, Prof, Grincheux, Timide, Dormeur.
Oh, I adore The Rescuers!!!!
This is just beautiful.
I have seen that! I think someone pointed it out on a TR I was reading!If you haven't, I recommend you look up at the Sir Mickey's in MK. There might be a giant lurking somewhere there...
I never even realized they had a castle walkthrough in Paris. I thought that was just there as part of the castle, not a separate attraction like the dragon. The stained glass is so pretty but it's a shame they hadn't fixed Aurora and Philip's window. Hopefully they have since.
Ok I'm obsessed with the fact that Dumbo is placed atop a waterfall. That is so picturesque, WOW.
DLP is just so so pretty. I'm in love.
Of course! It brings back fond memories!I really did feel like I was walking through the Fantasy Land in Paris! Thanks for the picturesque tour!
I do plan to! I have pre-written up my notes but still need to finish this one, and December, and then the other trip in May. But yes, it will be posted eventually (goal is to finish EVERYTHING before Asia).Hey Leslie, I hope you decide to do a trip report for your recent cruise!
I love them too! They were the ones hardest to put back! I think sometimes they meet at Tokyo, so fingers crossed!Oh, I adore The Rescuers!!!!
This is just beautiful.
Fantasyland at DLP is so perfectly "fairytale." I enjoyed every one of your pictures and love the small details you shared, as well, like Lucifer beneath the Cinderella fountain and all the stuffed animals in the 7 dwarfs beds.
