- The First Full Day! -
It's our first full day!! Yayy!! Going to throw some pictures into this post too!!
Nice early start, I think we were up and getting ready around 6am! We actually went to bed relatively early the night before with the intention of being well rested for today and it really paid off!
We grabbed breakfast at the hotel, you may remember I said we have breakfast included in our stay... well because of this we weren't expecting much, continental breakfast at most but we were actually pleasantly surprised at the selection available! We were able to get a full cooked breakfast and get fully fuelled up ready for our day!!
Next it was on to the shuttle bus to the parks!! Bit of a wet day unfortunately....
At first it seemed like the crowd levels were pretty low, we figured this would work out great - we'd get a fastpass for hyperspace mountain and rope drop buzz's space ranger spin.... let's just say that didn't quite work out! Space mountain was down, the cast member told us "yeah, it's usually down till around noon" which we thought was really odd! As for space ranger spin, well take a look at the video, we didn't fancy that line first thing in the morning in the rain!!
So instead it was onto Star Tours!! What's funny here is this is literally a copy & paste of WDW's Star Tours, the only difference was the droids were speaking French which was interesting!
When we came out of Star Tours the weather had gotten worse! Baaahhh, not used to this, we're used to Disney being hotter than the sun!!
We decided to go take a closer look at the castle (we saw French Disney Ducks! Yay!!), love love love this castle, the layout is absolutely great, also we really liked that you can go down into the castles dungeon and there is an animatronic Dragon lurking down there! We tried our best not to wake him!
After avoiding becoming a Dragons brunch we headed off to check out Paris' It's a small world! It was basically a walk on and although pretty much the same as World's it was still a lot of fun!!
Next up was one that Si was really really looking forward to - Pirates of the Caribbean, we'd heard from more than one person that this version of Pirates is one of best and it certainly didn't disappoint, they take a lot from the movies and even have the pirates turn into skeletons in the moonlight; was absolutely awesome!!
We also loved the themeing in the area, the pirate ship and skull rock really added to the area, was amazing!!
Needless to say so far we were having an amazing time and there's still much more to come!!
That's it until next week!! Be sure to check out the video version of this report below!
