After spending a few days hanging out with the family in Belgium, we loaded ourselves up into the car for a two day trip to Disney Paris.
(Big thanks to the parentals and Granny for making the trip possible. And to Rob and Linds for hosting us. And to the kids who gave us a good excuse to go in the first place. Basically- everyone played a part except Glenn and I- who just hung out and enjoyed the experience. I’m not really sure what that says about us…)
Dum-dum-de DUUUMMM! And here it is!! Like I mentioned in an earlier blog, this was my first Disney Park experience, and I loved it. I didn’t really care about the rides or seeing Mickey, I just loved how detailed everything was. They’ve really done a great job with making everything look so realistic and magical. I also loved watching Jake and Allie running around the place. To them- it WAS real, and that was really special to see.

— Unfortunately, none of us fit the bill. Bummer.
Funny story- so we’re all going through the Snow White ride when Allie starts getting a little scared. We cover her eyes as we enter into the castle dungeons and then on into the woods, and I know she’s ok, but definitely scared and hoping to get out of there as soon as possible. Normally the “scary section" would only last for about 45 seconds. But then the ride broke down.
RIGHT HERE. The ride HAD to break down in front of the creepy trees loaded with bats. Thankfully after about a minute the employees had enough sense to turn the scary music off and turn on the lights.
That made Allie feel a lot better. And inspired Jake to make a few scary photos too.
One of Allie’s favorite rides was the It’s a Small World ride.
Seriously. This is a grown man. With a Disney umbrella, jacket, and (you can’t tell in this shot) Disney jeans. Now THAT is dedicated.
Stinky Pete!!
One of our favorite rides: the Buzz Lightyear one.
Not only is it a ride, but your car spins around in whatever direction you choose, AND you shoot at targets (they keep track of your points).
