Disney, finally

 It's taken me over 17 years, but today I finally got to attend a day at Paris Disneyland. But not before Trixie got taken care of. Weather report for today was supposed to be awful, with lots of rain, thunder, lightning, and humidity. Pretty much a  bad day to go to a theme park. But we went because we figured that most people would stay away today. And we were right. But back to Trix; we finally used the Disney dog kennels. It was a great system. You pay €10, and they water your dog, clean the cage if they have an accident, and feed them at the time you ask for. The only thing they won't do is walk your little furball....but no matter, we came back out to see her mid day.

 The park is much smaller than both disneyland CA and disneyworld. The castle is even smaller. But they have maybe 8 attractions that are different here, so those were at the top of the list. We tried their Indiana Jones ride, but the theming wasn't very Indy. It could've been any adventure movie. They didn't even play the music. It was a basic coaster. A lot of their attractions were also DOWN! Space Mountain was out of commission. And Phantom Manor and Thunder Mountain both decided to break down at the same time.

But Euro Disney DOES have something we don't. They have a dragon! He was pretty sleepy, but he did wake up momentarily.

 The sleeping beauty exhibit was different too. Lots of stained glass and tapestries.

 Alice had a labyrinth. It was actually very good and we got lost. (It poured later and I thought "how awful if we were stuck in the maze")

 It was the 20th anniversary of the park. Something we loved about this park was seeing rides we've grown up with, like Haunted Mansion or Star Tours and having the scripts in french. I actually understood some of what Rex the robot said. "Des comets!" or "Moi? C'est Rex"

 And I think because it was supposed to rain, Disney was bringing out the weird characters. Costumes that they don't care about...enter, Friar Tuck.

 Wall-e and Eve! Love them!

 We finally took the Autopia after many years of skipping it. Aaron was a bad driver though he did claim that the car was overly sensitive to turns.

 They have an Aladdin attraction here. OMG! It was actually just a walk through with non moving pieces.

 But some of the vinettes were very good. Right after this stop, it started pouring like no other. The park was filled with puddles. Flooding everywhere. We had to leave.

Trixie had a good day as well.
