Paris - Disney Land Park

Paris - Day 1

We had consciously chosen to do the DisneyLand Park - the first day so that the kids find the trip fun.

One of the tips I can offer is buy the tickets before hand online its cheaper and you save the pain of standing in one queue.
At the gate do not forget to ask for a Fast Pass....it really helps if you know what u want to cover...I did not do much home work on this as it was not my first Disney Park....so kind of knew what to expect.

It was crowded( perhaps because of summer holidays) although most activities could be done within an hour or so..

Anyways it was divided into

Adventure Land
==============
Only activity we managed to do is the Pirates of the Caribbean (Activity 1)

FrontierLand
============
We actually never ended up doing any ride there...although we managed to take Fast Pass tickets for Big Thunder Mountain - (the wait time was 180 minutes)

Main Street
===========
We roamed around in a lot of shops...and had Pop Corn at 7 Euros that is around Rs.500/-...although Candy Floss was half the price of a pop corn!!
It did rain....I had brought raincoats for the girls...so it didn't disturb our plans...and so make sure u check the weather for the day...

Fantasy Island
==============
We did all the rides - Peter Pan's Flight,Mad Hatters Tea Cups and Its a small World!
(activities 2,3,4)
Adventure Land
==============
This is where we spent most of our time and the girls enjoyed these the most!
Buzz Light Year LAser Blast ( 2 times) (Activity 5 and 6)...
Videopolis- We had bothe lunch and dinner watching disney movies here!
Star Tours - Riona loved this and was her favourite ( Did that twice! ) ( Activity 7 and 8)-a spaceflight simulator
We did Autopia (Activity 9)

Then we still needed to cover the second Park
Walt Disney Studios Park

We did Armageddon Special effect (Activity 10)
Cine Magique - (Activity 11)
Stitch Live (Activity 12)
Studio Tram Tour (Activity 13)- This was just fantastic....

We also went on disny train...(Activuty 14)

All in all it was a hectic and fun day for kids...
We did not wait for the fireworks as it was at 5 past 11pm...was jsut not sure if the girls can take more than 12 hours of non stop activity,,so we finally left at 10 pm to head back to the hotel for a well dessrved sleep!

Disney Land

Our first trip to Disney Land ...Hongkong...the newest and the smallest of Disney Resorts....We spent the whole day!

We began with Tommorrow Land .Loved the Space Mountain Roller Coaster(one of the mildest I think that was)and the flying saucer that we can pilot on our own.
Tanya's favourite was the Astro Blasters which gave you an interactive adventure with the universe.

We then moved to adventure land and caught the first show of the day "Festival of the Lion King" The show was really spectacular and an experience in itself.
Then we went on to the Jungle River Cruise where the ambience of a real jungle was created perfectly followed by a raft cruise to the Tarzan's Treehouse. The treetop home of Tarzan also was great interaction for kids with musical instruments etc.

We had lunch at the Tahitian Terrace.There are plenty of restaurants and shops within the resort.

We moved on to fantasy land and went to the sleeping beauty castle.Mickey's Philhar magic - a magical 3D adventure was so full of fun that we ended up seeing the show twice. The Golden Mickeys show was also a great musical celebration of disneys films songs and characters.
The journey through Hundred acre Wood of Winnie the pooh was really cute ...that we took the ride twice.

We ended the day seeing the fire works and the light up of the castle...and shopping for momentoes to take back home.

The day was really a magical experience and the kids loved every bit of it including their usual cotton candy snack.
