[Maddie2]

Disneyland Paris! How wonderful! Love your writing style - so much enthusiasm - and photos! Perfect!

I've enjoyed your other TRs with your son and family, but have to say I love that you were able to have some time with just your mom. Memories I'm sure you both will cherish forever!

I'm attempting to catch up a bit on the DIS Boards tonight. Holiday preparations are in full swing and it is taking up most of my free time. I haven't had much time here the last month or so. I miss it. I'll pick up where I left off.

We made our way through the castle and out into Fantasyland. Mom stopped to admire a very pretty flower bed....

An impressive beanstalk vine!

Our first glimpse of the teacups...

It's a lovely rendition of this ride!

We were on our way to the much anticipated Curious Labyrinth...

But we HAD to make a pit stop for a very important duo!

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum were greeting! Such a treat!

Love it!

Following this important date we continued on to the Curious Labyrinth...

The welcoming committee...

We made our way through the labyrinth and took it all in...

Tea Time!

The March Hare is a dinning option near by...

A fun topiary around the tea cup ride...

And the adorable teacups!

A couple more topiary in the tea cup area...

I loved that there was a bit more to the Alice in Wonderland themed area in this park!

More from Fantasyland coming up!

 

[Anemone]

Yay! Really glad you're continuing with this. Love your photos.

 

[Ms Poppins]

Lovely pics

This attraction takes me right back to my childhood maybe more than any other. I grew up in Southern California and Disneyland there is where my childhood Disney Park memories are linked to. They have a rendition of this ride there. I adore it.

My mom was admiring the trees in the queue here...

The storybook boats are precious!

It was very amusing how both the Disneyland Railroad and Casey Junior's Circus Train kept passing by...

I took a selfie of Mom and I as we boarded into our boat...

Another glimpse of Casey....

Approaching the cottage from Snow White....

Hansel and Gretel....

Rapunzel's Tower...

The Little Mermaid...

Prince Eric's Castle and Ship...

A tunnel during the Storybook Cruise...

This next scene has a very Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph and Santa Claus is coming to Town feel to it but I don't think it's related??

Entering the Aladdin tunnel....

Abu...

Genie's Lamp...

The Sword and the Stone...

Approaching the village from Beauty and the Beast...

Belle in the center of town...

This was the best surprise! The Emerald City!

Adorable!

By this point in the trip the US girl in me had caught on that Sortie meant Exit...

I stopped to get a picture of the Casey sign to go along with my train pictures in the scrapbook....

And then Mom and I were off to our next destination! Any guesses where we headed next?

 

[Anemone]

Those photos are amazing - I've never seen so much detail on the storybook ride. Thanks again

 

[missangelalexis]

Great pictures! So many Alice in Wonderland details, very cute. The Storybook Cruise looks so adorable as well!

 

[Ms Poppins]

I love the storybook cruise too - known in our house as the Storyboats

Thank you for sharing your pictures and stories. I'm planning to go in May and am looking forward to it! Also visiting London, Paris and Brugges, so looking forward to these stories, too.

Just in case you are interested, the winter setting that you thought looked like a Rudolph and Santa story, was actually Peter and the Wolf, according to the sign next to it.

Thank you for sharing your trip and pictures! I have been to Paris a couple times and lived in France for a semester in college but never got to Disneyland Paris and would LOVE to someday.

I can't believe how time can slip away between trip report updates. We're planning our next trip to Disney World so when I've found time to spend online related to Disney I've been booking flights and various other reservations. I'm excited about this next trip though. IF I can keep it a secret it is going to be a complete surprise for Reagan. I'm going to sweep him off to the airport and then Florida for his 8th birthday where, in addition to the 4 Disney parks, we will also go to Lego Land and Universal for the Harry Potter attractions. I'm crazy excited about it all. We have been reading and then watching the Harry Potter books for awhile now we are about half way through book 5 so we still have 2 1/2 books and 4 movies to get through before June. Enough about all of that though... back to the lovely Disneyland Paris and time with mom.

In the distance I spotted this and that is where we were headed...

I thought this stroller parking sign was too cute!

We were almost there when I noticed a greet that I couldn't pass up. Any guesses who it might be?

The queue for the meet was along side this adorable ice cream parlour...

Just a moment IASW... We'll be there soon...

The very special meet was with Gepetto and Pinocchio...

I met Gepetto a few months earlier in EPCOT but can't remember ever having the pleasure of meeting Pinocchio.

The It's a Small World clock was stricking as we approached the ride which is always magical to catch.

Pretty flowers along the way...

Paris has a really special rendition of this ride. I love it's facade. If I remember correctly Hong Kong's is similar...

Since we had just been in London the day before this section stood out to me.

An adorable Slinky Dog...

Australia...

The Canada section was fun...

And the US...

I always love this ride!

I promise to be back much sooner than last time!

 

[missangelalexis]

Sounds like a great birthday trip for Reagan!!

What an awesome meet, the backdrop for the photos is really pretty.

IASW looks so cute, so different from the DisneyWorld version.

 

[ExpatDisneyLover]

Great photos!!!

 

[scrpbookr]

When we finished with It's a Small World we continued to make our way through Fantasyland. The flowers were so pretty you'd think it was spring and not the tail end of September....

We decided more time with Pinocchio and Geppetto was in order...

In usual Disney style, the queue was very cute...

.... so were the cars for the ride...

After taking in all the queue details it was time to board the ride!

Geppetto!

LOVE Figaro's little bed down in the corner!

Hello, Cleo!

Jiminy Cricket!...

So adorable....

I really enjoyed all the details on this ride!

The shop continued to be just as cute!

The Pinocchio outfit for Duffy is one that I'd like to buy at some point...

This French Chef outfit was special for Paris...

Another Duffy Paris outfit...

The sign for the store...

Stromboli's puppet show cart...

 

[ShellB8585]

Thank you for taking the time to share your trip with us!!

We're going in May and this is just helping to build my excitement

 

[scrpbookr]

We took in a few sights after the Pinocchio ride as we made our way to the next destination.

I loved how this little tree had citrus on it. Only in Disney!

Lovely views of Dumbo!

Next on the adventure list was the Snow White ride..... Blanche Neige & Sept Nains

I was really excited for this one!

Adorable details in the queue...

The carts were named after the Dwarfs....

Our turn!

So many sweet scenes along the way...

And then a bit of darkness...

concerned friends...

And they lived happily ever after!

Sweet Dopey...

It isn't the new Mine Train but it is a very sweet rendition all the same!

 

[missangelalexis]

Great photos of the Snow White ride! I do miss having it in WDW!

 

[dhidra]

Your photos are fabulous! What type of camera do you have? You could go to DLP so many times and still not see all the little details hidden around the place.
Looks like you were really lucky with the weather. Looking forward to more.
