A Day at Disneyland

Our second full day in Paris was spent in Disneyland. The kids were so excited to go. Surprisingly, out of the 7 of us (Henderson's included,) I was the only one who had ever been to Disney. That was when I was in 7th grade and our high school band made a trip to FL. Obviously, that has been a few years ago. Not alot has changed.

We woke up to a rainy Tuesday, not feeling real confident about the weather. However, we are in Europe and had to make the most of it. We took the subway over to Disney, a trip that took close to 2 hours between bus and train. The kids were still thrilled and ready to go. We took our friend, Emily, along with us while her parents spent the day in the city. The group quickly split up. Eric and Tony headed for the roller coasters, while the girls chose some calmer rides and looked for princesses. Fortunately, the weather cleared up and the rain held off most of the day.

The kids had a great time and the only 2 disappointments were that Eric was too short for the Indiana Jones coaster and we did not have enough time to see and do everything. I think the kids would have enjoyed it if our entire trip would have been spent in the park. The highlights were the beautiful gardens, the cool rides and the incredible parade featuring all the Disney characters. Sarah had a great view from her Dad's shoulders! Not sure if I consider it the "happiest place on Earth," but my kids thought it was pretty cool!
