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 ;)

Disneyland Paris 2016 // Day 3, Part 2

Make sure to catch up with part 1 here before reading on!

As I said in that post, although there was nothing 'extra' in particular on day 3, it seems that I took a heck load of photos! haha Therefore rather than 2 posts day three will actually be split over 3 parts.
After we left Discoveryland (see previous post) we just so happened to be in the right place at the right time as Anna and Elsa were coming past. Now I like Frozen as much as the next Disney-nut, but I'm the type who gets more excited to meet Pluto than Cinderella if you get me. Taking that into account I burst out crying - nothing new at DLP, I cry at least 5 times a day. I think it was more so at how absolutely stunning the horses were, but Anna saw me having a breakdown and blew me a kiss haha. They were cute too obviously...but..horses.
While waiting for our Buzz fast past time we hopped on Casey Jr. A ride I have wanted to go on for YEARS. Literally. Every time I've been since 2010 it's been closed and I was expecting it to be closed this trip too due to it being in the height of Winter, so I was super glad it was open and had a minuscule queue. I loved it.

We had a bit more of a wander around Fantasyland before heading back to Discoveryland for Buzz when we spotted the Christmas Parade coming so nabbed a spot right by the Fantasyland turrets to watch. This is the one thing in my whole trip I am so gutted and frustrated with myself about because I didn't photograph it at all. I wanted to take it all in and just enjoy it, as we'd planned to watch it another time and this was just a chance happening, but in the end, we didn't get time to see it again and so I have 0 photos :( Of course, I cried from start to finish again because it was just as stunning, talent-packed and magical as every other parade. However, after the end arrived it had made us late for our Buzz fast pass! It was cool and we got let in anyway.
Next port of call was our planned Grand Circle Tour! Walking through the Arcades is always my favourite, especially when they are super quiet of course, I just wish every building ever had to be in that style of architecture. Nothing beats it. Plus it's the quickest way to Main Street Station to bypass any crowds.
The train was, unfortunately, a tiny let down, more so due to the cast members and fellow guests who were all pretty rude than the train and surroundings itself but nevermind, it was a nice trip all the same.

At this point, I'm gonna say goodbye until next time! Come back on the 5th of May for part 3!
