Disneyland Paris

We met up with Marie, actually she came to pick us up, and proceeded to Disneyland Paris. What a beautiful day! Marie made it extra special. We checked out where she worked and wandered around for the day. We went on many rides including the “Small World” exhibit. You remember that tune, don’t you?
“It’s a world of laughter
A world of tears
It’s a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There’s so much that we share
That it’s time we’re aware
It’s a small world after all”
Are you mentally singing it now? I will be for a month or so.
Got to meet Goofy and Mickey. I chose not to kiss Mickey.

We ate at a restaurant in Frontier land in the Cowboy Cookout Barbecue. Good grub.
Checked out more rides and watched an awesome Stars On Parade. As usual, Disney really puts on a show.
It was getting near supper time and we were all draggin’ a bit, so we called it a day at Disney. Marie then showed us her home. Nice place and convenient to her work at Disneyland.
Lilia and I had enough to eat so we just had a salad at home. Nothing that interests us on the tele, and it was kind of late, so nighy-night.

I have to add my impressions to Jerry's post.
Besides the wonderful day we had thanks to Marie, I noticed the area around the park: new, orderly and pristine.
This is because Disney has bought big tracts of land in all the small towns around the park and developed them in its image and likeness.
It would be interesting to see what effect this will have on the local culture.
On our first day here we went to the aquarium, located in the ground floor of Val D'Europe. The exhibit is very nice, but I could not believe the mall. All the big and expensive brands were there, from Prada to Louis Vuiton. At first I thought "why?". It is so far from Paris. But then I realized, Disney is attracting all sorts of moolah.
Cheers my friends! Or as they say here, Sante!
