Day 10

Today was a good day. Once again I am exhausted but it is so fun here! We went to Disneyland Paris today! I don't have much to say about it. It was very similar to the one in America, but things were in French-so that made it fun. I love Disneyland! What's not to love!

The parks opened at 10h00 and we got in about 10h45. It wasn't too crowded. Most everything was very familiar. Small World, Pirates and Peter Pan were all about the same. Space Mountain however was way better. That was my favorite ride of the day.

The park closed at 18h00 today which seems so early but I guess it is off season and maybe it is not as popular out here. At17h00 there was a parade and I had such a good time. There were three french ladies sitting next to me on my left and then right as the parade started they decided they were going to stand up. The french lady behind them had a four year old daughter with her and she tried to ask them to sit down. The three ladies would have none of that and were a little snippy. So as the parade started this little girl was blocked by a bunch of adults. I invited here to come and sit down right by me. At first she kind of sat down hesitantly but I just kept smiling at her.

Pretty soon she was turning and smiling at me when she saw something in the parade she liked. Then she started talking to me! It was so cute and I could barely understand any thing as she rattled off in french. I heard something about they could hurt their feet if they did something. I just kept nodding and saying, "oh oui" haha it was so fun! Man I just love being with kids! I love that age.

As the park closed we headed back to the city on the RER. It was crowded and I was tired. We all got off in the city and decided to try to find a cheap dinner after Disneyland had emptied our pockets. McDonalds is what we found. It was actually pretty good.

On the way home on the metro Ally and I could not stop laughing. It was late and we are so tired. The metro makes a funny sound when it stops and we were seriously like nine-year-old boys. It was ridiculous. Check facebook for some videos of the day.

  2. What I need to know is this: when you were walking right down the middle of Main Street USA, did you sing the song?? LOVE the story about your jeune fille at the parade! I can just picture you saying, "Ah oui" to her over and over. So fun!
