Disneyland Paris 2016 // Day 5, Part 2


This is it. The very last part of the very last day of our December 2016 Disneyland Paris trip. At this point in my trip posts I usually get a little post-Disney blues, this time though, I have to look forward to many more DLP posts! Not only extras from the 2016 trip like certain rides in detail as well as bird watching at Disney and more, but there are obviously a couple to come from my May 2017 trip! Yay!

Day 5 was sadly not a full day as our Eurostar was in the evening and us being us, preferring to be early rather than late, meant we left the park around 4. In part 1, you saw we spent the morning in the Disneyland park but by around 11.30 we hopped on over to the Walt Disney Studios to squeeze in some important things that we hadn't been able to until then...


Something a little sad was that Ratatouille had been closed for all of our trip only opening on Saturday. That meant we didn't get to do it with Kris and Kerri!! Boo :( As that was the case and the normal line was over 2 hours long we decided to try out the single rider queue (my first time ever...read about my bad experience here) which although it says 50mins on the sign ended up being a less than a 25-minute wait.
After that we had a little walk through Playland, arriving at another attraction that had just reopened on Saturday too - Studio Tram Tour! I hear a lot of people complain about this saying it's boring and outdated but this was about my 5th time going on it and I still enjoy it just as much every time. As you can see once we left STT we ended up at Art of Animation, probably my most favourite part of the WDS park. This was where we spent the last of our time, along with a quick snack in Restaurant en Coulisse. The expression on Mam's face says it all.

It's always hard leaving Disneyland but this time was a little different. The cold really affected our trip and when you suffer from pains etc as it is, it takes so much more out of you than usual. I can easily say that I will not return to DLP for the Christmas season again. It doesn't bother me anyways with not being a fan of Christmas on a whole, but it's really nice to have been fortunate enough to experience it at least once. Thanks for reading and I hope you have enjoyed these posts. If you have missed any the full list is below. All are very photo heavy and have taken hours upon hours to put together so you checking them out means a lot! See you soon with more Disneyland Paris posts and photos :)

Disneyland Paris 2016 // Day 5, Part 1


Day 5! Our very last day at 'home'. This trip was different from others. On the one hand, it was extra amazing because we got to share it with brilliant friends who were seeing it all for the first time and experiencing that was magical. However, it was my first trip in winter and the cold (no matter how well prepared you are with 2 pairs of socks, tights, jeans, vest, t-shirt, jumper, coat etc) was a killer...especially when you suffer with pains. I'm never happy to see the end of a DLP visit but I must admit I was kind of looking forward to getting home this time.
As I was saying - our last day! Kerri and Kris had left the previous night leaving Mam and me with the day alone to do anything we had missed, was closed or re-do things we just like that much. Starting with a skip down Main Street and a couple of special meet and greets!


We had such a lovely meet with Goofy and Pluto and an even better one with Jack who is always an absolute star to meet (look at his face after Mam told him his Xmas tree looked rather sparse after he asked her how she liked it haha). I couldn't not pay Adventureland a quite visit before we left, even if it was only passing through. It was extra beautiful in the morning sunshine while completely dead!
As you can see we carried on through to Fantasyland, rode Le Pays des Contes de Fées, bird watched for a while and ended our morning in Disneyland Park by touring the castle. All of those will have their own separate posts, as will It's a Small World, as I just have far too many photos not to share them all.
Look out for part two of the very last December day in Disneyland Paris to see how we spent it. Up next week ;)
