Disneyland Paris 2010

Ok. Actually this trip is for Tobey, before the new baby comes along. He has been watching alot of Disney movies (favourite being Toy Story) and programmes on TV, so he's pretty familiar with the characters and at a ripe age/tall enough to start enjoying most of the rides in the parks. Since we won't be throwing him a 3rd birthday party, this is also to make it up.

We were there for 4days/3nights. This Disneyland is made up of Disneyland Park and Walk Disney Studio Park. Disneyland park is subdivided into 5 other areas with different themes (Discoveryland, Fantasyland,Adventureland,Frontierland and Mainstreet, USA). Walt Disney studios is much smaller with live show studios, stadium for stunt show and also cinemas for animation shows.Both parks were really well-maintained. Roses in front of castles, beautiful waterfalls, no rubbish on the ground, well manicured lawns...the dedication put into making the whole disney experience alive for kids was amazing. We stayed in New York Disney Hotel. Old deco but spacious and only 5 minutes walk to the parks. Too many pictures to post, too many rides and adventures to write about. So I'll just post a few to summarise things up.

First 2 days were sunny and hot! We slapped on tonnes of sun cream and ventured into the Disneyland Park until the closing time. Hehe :)

We went on like 20 rides. This Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast ride was Tobey's favourite. We went on it for 4 times! Thank God for fast passes.The Le carrousel De Lancelot ride

Here's a 6 months pregnant woman on a horse :p

Autopia- Where Tobey gets to drive daddy around for a change (daddy pressed on the accelerator, whilst Tobey steered the wheels)

Lunch break entertainment. Tobey was dancing on the bench to the music whilst munching on his lunch

"It's a small world" ride. My favourite. It was beautiful and so well presented.

Here is Tobey with his favourite Disney characters. He called them his "friends". Starting with Minnie,

With Mickey

With Woody and Jessie

With Goofy. He was leaning his head on Goofy's palm, as in to sayang him. My sweet boy :)

I think this is Simba Timon not sure.

with unidentified monkey character

and the piece de resistance- a meeting with Buzz lightyear himself. His current favourite cartoon hero.

In the studios, Tobey's favourite was not Playhouse Disney live show nor Stitch Live...

...it was the Motor Stunt Show Spectacular! We watched it on the last day and it was pouring cats and dogs, but still they managed to do all those dangerous stunts without accidents.

It was SK's favourite too. SK rode on several other more thrilling rides (such as Space Mountain: Mission 2 which is a gravity defying roller-coaster in the dark ) which are not suitable for kids and preggy woman.

Of course, we took sometime off to visit Paris. It's more for me, as I have not been there before. It's just like another big city. Not as pretty as London. Dirty metros and people are not that friendly.

Happy 3rd Birthday my darling boy. Mummy and daddy loves you around the universe and back ..then more :)
