Paris 4:Disneyland

That's our fourth day in Paris and we were on our way to the EuroDisney.we bought the 1day-2parks tickets for disneyland resort in a disney souvenir store at the avenue des Champs Elysees the previous day,we had to take the suburban train known as REB outside the city to reach Disney.(cuz we had bought the 5 circle weekly tickets,so we didnt have to pay extra fee).


We were so exciting that this was our first time to Disney,we all had a dream to go there when we were children,so we were ready to see what the real Disney is like.It's amazing arriving in a bright sunshine to Disney and looking at the Disney Hotel at the entrance to the Disneylank Park,but we headed our way to the Walt Disney Studios Park first.The entrance is nicely done,you just enter the park going inside,then it leads out(sort of hard to describe,but we did take some photos).We went directly to a ride called Hollywood Tower,someone told me that this ride is amazing,it's some kind of a simulated elevator freefall thrill ride,when we got on the lift,the conductor of the lift told us"wish you have a good time and see you soon,if you can come back alive(sort of)" everybody screaming,then she shut down the door of the lift,then... ...I now know that what the out-of-control elevator is like...

The other ride we went on,actually not a ride,was Armageddon,special effect.You get to see how the special effects for the movie were filmed and at the end you go into a spaceship or a space station chamber and get caught up in a "real live meteor shower".I think this was not as exciting as the one we just rode.
Cars Rally

Main Street & Parade

The next ride was a disaster :-6,called Crushes Coaster,the stupid thing was that we waited for about 90 minutes to take that ride,we thought it was about a "Finding Nemo"trip,as a matter of fact this ride has nothing on the movie.You sit in a cute turtle shell,but this is just an appearance,you are strapped in with those weird flashes,you spin round and round and upside down while feeling the G force,Lin screaming all the while during this ride.

The last ride we caught in the Studios was the Studio Tram Tour:Behind the Magic.You sit in a normal looking tram and visit the sets from different movies.You also get to see some props and vehicles from movies,the best part of this ride was where the tram got caught in a waterworld set,you were sitting there looking around and then a sudden tons of water starts coming down the hillside towards you,and yes,you may get wet.


Railroad & Riverboat

Afterwards we decided to walk on over to the Disneyland Park.The Main Street was incredible,with the sleeping beauty castle looking stunning in the distance.We walked the entire park,we rode Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and "it's a small world", almost every ride in the park and saw 2 parades.The parade was great and we were amazed,seeing Buzz and Woody and Cinderella and Snow White, amongst all the others. We had an amazing day in the Disneyland resort,the park was really stunning,We will definitely visit it again.
