Paris and Disneyland

We went to Paris and Euro Disney for Spring Break. Of course we had a wonderful time. Euro Disney was more fun than we expected. We kept hearing that it was expensive, but we got a fabulous deal. People complained that it was crowded, but Disney knows they're popular and makes every effort to ease the pain. We were totally entertained. We had also heard that it was smaller. My kids are too young to care. It was a great Disney experience again. To enjoy comparisons by Greg click here.
We spent four days in Disney and one day in Paris. Does that seem crazy? We'll go back to Paris, of course. However, we did pack a lot into that one day.

Henry at the Louvre. We did go in and see the Mona Lisa and a few other works. The crowds were much more daunting than Disney and not nearly as well managed. It sort of burned the kids out quickly.


Greg is really great at turning food into fangs. Ansel was making monster noises, but the picture doesn't capture that.

Guess where we are.

Mike L. poses with Henry and Ansel. They had scream monitors right next to this statues. Children swarming to see if their scream could go off the charts. It was the most awful part of our Disney experience.

Paris Disney's castle was quite enchanting.

Small World was also newer and included more of the world. The boat ride was Ansel's fave.

All things Disnified (no--that is not a word). It makes us all happy! They have perfected the family vaca. We are doing a Disney Cruise this fall. Hopefully I won't get pregnant this time . . . little too much faith, trust and pixied dust last time. :)
