And Disney Seals the Deal

The kids were delighted with the decision to hit Disney on our last day.  We had fun for 12.5 hours and then called it a day. But before we arrived we had a little bit more train fun. The line we were on ended so we had to depart the train and catch the next one to the Disney stop. But the next one never came and the one we were on never left. Everyone, even the locals, seemed confused as to what was happening.  A few minutes later came some announcements, in French, over the address system.Everyone, still looking a little bewildered, began to file slowly back in the train. So we did the same. Next stop Euro Disney. 

While we were in line for our first ride it really did become a small world when around the corner walked Josh and Olivia, whom we met in China. Josh and Olivia are from New Zealand and had just quit their jobs in England and are taking the rest of the year off while making their way back home. 

We did have some challenges with maintenance issues.  The first ride we boarded had us unboard only to wait for 20 minutes to reboard. On another ride, Big Thunder Mountain, we ran through the non-existent line and had scored the last seats in the last car. The fastest part of the coaster. We were psyched. Then neither one of the sets of cars that were on the track as we waited came back. No one died, but the ride closed down for about 3 hours. 

We got a kick out of the rides that had narration, in French of course, and guessing what was being said. We were also surprised by the line etiquette, or lack thereof, in Euro Disney. We thought maybe it was just our relaxed Colorado attitudes, but we chatted with a New York couple and they said there would be flat out brawls if people tried to pull this stuff in New York. 

Tara said this was the best Disney ever because we actually purchased lunch and dinner in the park rather than pack in it in. Yet again, Patti found a way to get more discounts, so we definately got our monies worth.
