Disneyland Paris 2010 - Part 1

Arriving At Disneyland

Wednesday - February 10th 2010

We started our journey to Disneyland Paris at 6:30am and we drove from Salzburg via Munich, Stuttgart and Strasbourg to Paris. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t very nice, it snowed a lot in Germany. So after a long ten hours drive we arrived around 5pm at the Sequoia Lodge.

After staying three times in the Santa Fe Hotel, we decided to try the Sequoia Lodge which was really a very beautiful hotel, but our room was not. Although our room was (somewhat) clean, it was not as nice as the refurbished rooms at the Santa Fe we had during our previous trips. Maybe our expectations were just too high, but we really thought that the quality of the room would be better and maybe the other rooms in the hotel were better.

The Sequoia Lodge offered a pool, but we didn’t try it, because it wasn’t open in the morning and in the evening when we returned from the parks, we were too tired. Instead we had some drinks at the Redwood Bar & Lounge.

After we checked in and dropped our luggage off in our room, we went to the Disney Village. We had a drink at the Sports Bar and afterwards we had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. We have only been once at a Rainforest Cafe in Chicago and it was okay then, but nothing special. However, we had a very pleasant experience that time. My girlfriend ordered a really tasty Stir-Fry over rice. I had the Veggie Burger, which was also very good.

After dinner we had another beer at the Sports Bar and then we went back to the hotel, where we had to check out the Redwood Bar & Lounge. We loved this bar, because it was such a cosy place with the open fire place. After a last beer we went to bed early, because we were tired.
