Trip Report 10 days in Disneyland Paris

Hi all, I read the reports here since last year and last week I decided to be a member so I can comment to trip reports from all of you! Since I am European I am more in Disneyland Paris than in the other parks throughout the world. When I was 18 (long long time ago......) I was in Florida and stayed in Walt Disney World for about 4 days.... Disneyland Paris I have been about 25 times.... Me and my family are in for the 8th consecutive annual passportfor Paris and I am a shareholder for Disneyland Paris. Last month we had a 8-day trip to Disneyland Paris. I cannot descibe every day of the trip but we have a lot of pictures and would love to share them with all of you.

I also will post pictures from earlier trips to DLP in the Photo of the day thread:

Disneyland Paris 20-07-2013 / 28-07-2013

So here we start! Each year we are in DLP for about 4 or 5 weekends and the last 5 years we also spent a part of our summer holidays in the park. Until this year we each summer book a camping ground, which is nice. The only thing was it is a 20 minute drive to DLP every time we go. So if you wanna fresh up you have to take the car each time. This year we thought, hey lets rent a appartment nearby DLP. So we did. Only 5 minutes from DLP, so plenty of opporunities to go back to the appartment when we need to do so.

Weather reports were OK for the period we were in DLP. In the end they were too good. All 8 days we had a minimum temperature of 35 Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) and when you walked in the sun for a long time temperature was above 43 Celsius (109.4 Fahrenheit). So we had a hot 8 days! The hottest in our DLP history!

Who were on the trip this time:

Me (Michel, 42), my wife (Ria, 43), our daugther (Sacha, 16)

We departed from Rotterdam, the Netherlands in the middle of the night at 04.00. Since the drive to Paris is about 4.5 hours we were in DLP around 08.30 in the morning! A perfect time. First thing we did was going to Earls in Disney Village (Downtown Disney for DLP). Sorry no pics of that. After the breakfast off course we went to Starbucks, since I am a real SB addict!

Me in line for our Frappucino's!

After we completed our breakfast and coffee it was time to walk around Disney Village. Off course to check if there were new items since our last trip (April 2013). We ended our shopping round at World of Disney, the lasted addition to DV. In the next couple of months a new shop will be opened, LEGO. They say it will be the biggest LEGO shop in Europe.

Then it was time to go to Walt Disney Studios.

Ria managed to take a picture without the walking people :)

And the continue story of our summer 2013 DLP trip. I am there with the pictures. But we did not take special pictures for a trip report. The next visit will be from November 22nd. DLP will be in Christmas mode, so I will absolutely will post a TR. By that time Disney Dreams will have a special Christmas edition, and I have to see it and share it with you all! Unfortunate no Halloween DLP 2013 report, but I will make sure Christmas TR will make everything up!

So thank you all for taking time to read my TR for last summer. Next one will be in November and as you probably guess, we can't wait!!!

Sorry about your experience at Mr Toads. Obviously that guy was a jerk.

Really enjoyed your report. Hope to get to France one day and make time for DLP. The castle is amazing. Thanks for posting!

You're welcome! The guy was absolutely a jerk, but I think Disney handled it the right way!

Like I said, I will hope to get to WDW one day! And in my opinion the castle in DLP is the best in all the Disney parks!

New TR in November :)
