Disneyland Paris
Monday, 18th April 2016
Taking advantage of two free nights to enjoy Swing into Spring at Disneyland Paris. The weather had been OK back home but I arrived at Marne-la-Vallée to glorious sunshine and Disneyland Park was looking gorgeous!
I entered the Park just in time to catch Minnie's Little Spring Train - ,my first sighting of Thumper!

it's a small world was recently refurbished and the exterior looks amazing.
I'd made a passing comment on Twitter complaining about packing and my friend Katy asked me where I was headed. It turned out she was also headed to France and just happened to have a spare ticket to the Paris Premiere of Captain America: Civil War. Somehow she managed to convince me to join her! So after a quick wander around the Park, I headed to the Sequoia Lodge to check in and then it was off to Paris!
So, thanks for twisting my arm, Katy!

Arriving back at Disneyland to another beautiful day. A fair amount of the Park is currently being refurbished but there are still so many sights to enjoy.
Below: an early lunch at Walts.
Below: One of my must sees for the trip - The Forest of Enchantment, playing at The Chapparal Theater in Frontierland.

Finishing the day with dinner at The Founder's Club in the Disneyland Hotel then back to the Redwood Bar & Lounge at the Sequoia Lodge.

Lining up to meet Mickey Mouse during Extra Magic Hours - when he came back from his break he brought a friend!

Lunch at Auberge de Cendrillon.
First visit of my trip to Walt Disney Studios Park.
I blame being on a post Civil War high for ending up in a slow-moving queue to meet Spider-Man!
Dinner at Cafe Mickey before popping over to the New York City Bar.

More characters! Plus taking advantage of Extra Magic Hours for a flight on Dumbo.
Below: Goofy's Garden Party, another great feature of Swing into Spring.
Lunch at Inventions. Characters aside, the buffet is wonderful!
It's been a while since I've been on PanoraMagique. Thank you so much to the lovely family who gave me their spare ticket.
A wander down to the Hotel Cheyenne and Santa Fe.
Back to the Redwood Bar to finish my last evening.

Below: Minnie in her Spring finest!
Below: My favourite duo!
Despite the lovely weather for most of the week, I'd managed to develop a very heavy cold and didn't have much energy so finding a secluded row at the back of the Moteurs...Action! Stunt Show was ideal.
Yet more characters!
Below: Jedi Training Academy.
A final viewing of Minnie's Little Spring Train and then a ride on Les Pays des Contes de Fees before heading to Cafe Fantasia for my traditional farewell drink! Now to look forward to 2017 and the 25th anniversary celebrations!
