Maybe I should walk to the beach and wait for a photo moment like this one...

It'll be a long walk, this is from Fiji.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I would like to see that.

Me too!

Okay another day of Disneyland Paris pictures for you....
We spent the first part of our early magic hour getting some pictures with characters.

This was a peculiar sign, as part of the theming of Main Street, I noticed it while waiting for Goofy (the character, not my husband!).

The Discovery Arcade, in this one there was a lot of tribute to past World's Fairs.

We saw the Frozen show in English, it was a cute sing along, I think I enjoyed more than WDW's version (they are different).

A Canadian hockey scene in it's a small world. The skaters were moving really fast, tough for my camera to get a great pic.

Cool Arcade. I'd enjoy that. Nice to see it also lined with some nice wooden benches to chill out taking a break.

I think I like Paris's Small World better just from the pictures

I wouldn't necessarily say better, but I like that some parts are unique. It is going to go down for a refurb soon, I don't know why everything in good shape to me.

HP would be so much fun to hit while in area. Carnival or Disney cruise. My DS is sold on Carnival.

Definitely Carnival. (Next year the Breeze will be sailing out of Galveston instead of Miami.) For what we were pricing, we can go on Carnival 8 days, 4 ports of call for $2,000 less than what Disney offers. I don't like Mickey that much to pay that.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

We only have one day planned for Disneyland Paris when we are in France this fall. I'm starting to wonder if we should add an extra day.

If you prioritize your rides, one day will probably be good. It might not be as busy in the fall. If I go back I would do at least two days.

Cool Arcade. I'd enjoy that. Nice to see it also lined with some nice wooden benches to chill out taking a break.

And there were some cool things to look at as well.

I think Sunset Blvd looks pretty cool....and not just because TOT sits at the end of it

Same here.

 

[FutureCEO]

Am I weird for not liking AC?

 

[MOXOMUMD]

hang on.. are those... beavers?

Groundhogs They're digging in by my creek.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

any reason of why the reason of preferring Carnival?

I am scared of that brand after reading of their consecutive "poop" cruises.
If I go to Caribbean, I will definitively be either Disney or Royal C.

They have the best selection of everything for all ages and isn't as expensive. I'm not sure where you got "consecutive poop cruises" as there was one due to a fire that was immediately put out. They have since rehauled the fleet for that problem. If you do some homework on it you'll find Royal Caribbean has had the most onboard fires/accidents.

There is a reason that Carnival is less expensive that DCL. DCL is a premium cruise line and Carnival is not. With a premium cruise line you pay a premium price. Same reason you pay more for a cruise on Celebrity. Not hating on Carnival as my parents go on their cruises all the time because Carnival has a ton of itineraries and are inexpensive. They love them

However with the premium price you pay on a cruise line for DCL, the expectations are also higher. If they did not meet these expectations I would not pay and would stick to Royal C or start sailing Carnival.

In the end, it is all a matter of preference and what is most important to you.

AAA members can buy park tickets (regular, plastic version card--not bands) at the AAA offices around the country. I always do that, and they give you a discount of (around $20 or so off the price--I had a 5 day hopper with water parks). So you don't have to have a band at all, because the cards do exactly the same thing. (Plus, I don't like wearing a band; if that was all that was offered, I'd have to cram it inside my little purse, or put it in a pocket.)

DS has heard me speak of how the tracking creeped me out. He finally got creeped himself. The amount of photos taken of him that he was unaware were being taken throughout The World. With the band/card he finally saw himself everywhere he went uploaded. A tad unnerving for him. It reminded him of a Person of Interest episode.

In my opinion we have a clown running our state right now it seems like forever, and soon he is going to announce a run for president! (Political rant over...think happy thoughts like of Mickey Mouse and pixie dust....)

cant be worse than Trump.. now thats a clown!

There were a lot more stairs to this Swiss Family treehouse than I remembered in the WDW version.

We did a walk through of the castle, it included gorgeous stained glass windows, tapestries, and even going on a balcony outside the castle.

Wow, theres definitively a lot in that DisneyLand.

We only have one day planned for Disneyland Paris when we are in France this fall. I'm starting to wonder if we should add an extra day.

maybe you should, just to visit and see all the details of the place.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Kale and collards are also good sources.

I love some collard greens if made right.

The rest of the hike up the mountain...
