Following along! I am really enjoying your trip report. How do you think Disney Paris compares to Disney World Orlando? What are the biggest differences in the parks?
It feels the same and not the same
. I was only at Disneyland Park yesterday, which is the equivalent to Magic Kingdon. When you're inside you feel the same Disney spirit. But there are a lot of differences, beginning with the castle, Magic Kingdom as Cinderella's castle, and Disneyland Paris have Aurora's castle. They have the same areas (except for liberty square) with the same theming but not exactly the same decoration, like in Adventureland in Disneyland Paris there's a big pirate ship (hook's one I think) on the water, or in Frontierland, Big Thunder Mountain is in the middle of the lake (the river boat goes around it) and so the attraction is different, you have a dark tunnel underwater in the beginning and the end of the attraction.
Some attractions are not on the other park, in Paris there's not Pooh's ride, and in Paris there's a Pinochio's ride. And for the attraction that exist in both parks they can be really different inside, it's the case for It's a small world, Pirates of the Caribbean (I think this two are better in Paris), the Phantom Manor (I prefered the Magic Kingdom one), Space Moutain (was closed yesterday but it's really not like the one in Magic Kingdom, there's at least on looping in it in Paris, and even the external look is different)...
I think I loved better Disneyland Paris than Magic Kingdom, especially Frontierland and Adventureland, this areas are much bigger here so there's a lot of shops and restaurants in the theming, like saloons in Frontierland, you can image cowboy will get out of the buildings.
Enjoying your report so far. I love how enthusiastic you are about all things Disney!
Don't worry about your English, it's fine. Reading your report I don't know if I would have picked up ESL.
I had never heard of Celebration, FL. When I saw the picture of the place you stayed I couldn't believe it was located in Florida. I did some Googling and it was interesting to read up about it. It looks like a really nice place to stay.
Thanks for sharing the pictures of your pins and that treasure map - those are both activities I'm looking forward to having my boys participate in.
I love your autograph book. It's so unique.
I hope you have fun in Disneyland Paris. Looking forward to reading more.
Thank you. My pin collection grew a lot yesterday, I have 7 more, including two limited edition, one is the valentine's day 2015 of disneylandParis, and the other one was a trade with a Lion King fan I met in the park, he had only Lion King pin and when he saw my laniard he asked me if I had one, and I bought a Simba in Animal Kingdom (oops it's not in the report yet) so he was interrested in it and offered to trade it for a dumbo limited edition pin, I said yes, I'll find another Simba one day ^^.
I don't know when I'll do the report on my Disneyland Paris trip, I'll have to finish this one first. And I didn't took a lot of pictures because it was raining half of the day, so I couldn't take my camera out of the bag.
