The thirty
one time Christmas 2007
Tuesday
November 27 we went for the Christmas atmosphere to Disneyland Resort Paris. We
were gone early from home, because than we were at time in the park. Only
unfortunately it was never so pressure in Belgium. We did there approximately 7
hours over. Normal we ride it in 5 hours. Round the clock of half past two we arrived then
really in the park. We parked the car by the New York Hotel. By arrival in the
hotel, we were greeted by Pluto and Minnie. It fell us on, that it was not
totally pressure. And the Christmas decoration was not really optimally. We went
firstly to the Big Mountain, there was a waiting time here of 10 minutes,
without fast pass. After that we had done the
Phantom Manor.
Here we
had taken for the first time photographs within and outside the haunted house.
For the
first time, we saw now the graveyard. It was delightfully sunny again. We had
hit it well. Perhaps was the parade with a little bit Christmas. We had expected
that the vehicles for the Christmas had been adapted. But it was the usual
parade with only Father Christmas and the reindeer they were real. Well there
were the soldiers and one vehicle with toys. But these was yet smaller than
otherwise. The snow dolls were not there also this year.
Well
was the Disney Characters Express decorated with Christmas
decorations. We had expected more
Christmas
decorations, but that will come well through the 15 anniversary.
Well there was the large Christmas tree. On Town Square was Goofy as
Father Christmas with the sleigh. There were also a few shows only
in the weekend to see, that was well misery. The park would closed
at six o'clock. Round six o'clock came the
Enchanted
Candleabration on Central Plaza. This show we had seen in June,
when it was not yet dark enough. It was become meanwhile properly
colder. We had to wait yet a half hour. Finally was it so far. After
the show was over, we went back to Disney Village for to eat. Only
everywhere stood rows to wait for dining. So we decided to
take McDonald's. Also here was the proper pressure. Than just what
shopping done in Disney Village and after that back to the hotel.
The
next day it was foggy. It was really already half past nine. We
decided to go firstly to the other park Disney Studios. The Tower or
Terror hurried up already. Actual he was already ready. They were
now doing the surroundings as streets. We wanted to do the new
attraction Crush Coaster yet, but the waiting time was 45
minutes. So we had that seen for today. Well we saw Ratatouille in
Toon Studio. Walking through we came by the tram tour. That was also
a long time ago that we did that. Here they had gotten the country
lanes away. Previously became there in 3 groups started. As a
Dutchman, you came always in the last tram. Now they have follow
normally on order of arrival. You can sit where you want. We walked
around in the park and after that to the Disneyland park. It was
still calm in the park. The sun came meanwhile also through. First
we went to Belle's Christmas Village. We took some photographs of the
houses. After that we get a fast pass for Buzz Light-Year Laser. We
had to wait half an hour for that attraction and we go in the
meantime to Star Tours. Here we could also walking through.. After
that was it time to eat something. We went to the pizzeria. Than a
delicious cup of cappuccino. After the food, we wanted to do some
shopping. We had seen something that we wanted to buy. At three
o'clock we went to the Netherlands.

Spain. And we make always first a visit at Disneyland. But the
weather was not so good. Raining. And what we want to do, there was
a waiting time for that attraction from 90 minutes. We have

will stand in the file at a quarter over five. We it had already
tried 2 times before, but each time was the waiting time an hour and
a half or more. But it was worth. If you don't know, what you
are waiting for. It is inside almost dark, they are swung and done

drove out Leerdam on our way to Disneyland Resort Paris. Around
three o'clock we were in Esbley. Where we had make a reservation by
e-mail at the Akena hotel. But we had never got an affirmative.
Therefore we will see what's had gone wrongly. At the reception they
told us, that she never received an e-mail from us. And that was
right, the hotel Akena had changed in hotel Balladins since one
month ago. But the stay was no problem for that day. We made at the
same time a reservation for December 6th.
Hereafter
we left the hotel and go to the park. Where we had made a
reservation for

eight o'clock in the evening. At 5 o'clock at noon we must show the
tickets and got we a green bracelet. After what searching, we found
the place in Fantasyland. This was the last evening for this party.
We
went firstly to the pizzeria Bella Note. We took pasta and a pizza.
Afterwards we will drink cappuccino. It was a smattering messy at
closing the park. And opening the party. But eventually we could go
in there at for 5 minutes before 8. However, they checked your
bracelet very often.
As
first was Mickey and Minnie are called you welcome. That was kept
exactly behind the castle. You could see a little of it, if you
coming too late, as we did. Hereafter we went to Fantasy festival
Stage. Here was the Halloween Magician. A type conjurer. Outside
stood Winnie the Pooh in Halloween cloths with Eeyore. There were 9
attractions open, 6 restaurants and 2 shops. We did

later again. This way there were Merlin and the Witches Academy. We
have not seen the show with Winnie the Pooh. That was delete this
evening.
