Disneyland Paris 2022 - Part 4

Paris

Wednesday - October 19th 2022

Today we took a break from Disney and headed to the city of Paris. After we got our coffee at Pret-A-Manger we catched the RER train from Marne La Vallee to Chatelet Les Halles. Once we arrived in Paris we walked to Cloud Cakes, a small vegan coffee house, to get a proper breakfast. After our delicious breakfast with croissants, a cake and an avocado toast we spent some time at the Les Halles shopping center before continuing our walk towards the Seine.

After a wonderful walk along the Seine in the morning sun, we made it to the Louvre Museum. We had purchased our tickets already online and still had to kill some time until our slot for entering the museum was open. The Louvre is such an impressive museum with lots to see, but of course we first headed straight to Mona Lisa, probably the world's most famous painting. The crowd was already huge, but we managed to get a good look at Leonardo da Vinci's painting. The next couple of hours we explored other areas of the museum too, but it was way too big to see everything. Later we stopped at a falafel bar for a late lunch and then we got some desserts at a nearby bakery before heading back to the RER station. On the way we came across a nice street cafe and since the sun was shining and it was really warm outside we just had to get a drink and enjoy the lovely weather. Back at Disney we spent the rest of the evening browsing through the shops and having drinks at the Sports Bar.

Themepark Tour 2021 - Part 1

Going To Disneyland Paris

Sunday - August 9th 2021

The last time we had been to Disneyland Paris was in 2018, so it really was about time to return. Although we had visited Tokyo Disney Resort, Shanghai Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland in the meantime, we really wanted to return to our Disneyland. Originally we planned on going last year, but thanks to the global pandemic that wasn't possible. Instead we did a themepark tour in Germany last year, where we visited Phantasialand, Movie Park Germany and Legoland Germany. So we thought we should do something similar and should combine Disneyland Paris with other parks. Besides Disneyland we visited Parc Asterix near Paris and Tripsdrill in Germany.

So Sunday early morning we hit the road and drove to France, where we arrived at Disneyland Paris in the afternoon. We stayed again at Disney's Hotel Cheyenne, because last time we really enjoyed it there. Our room was coviniently located next to Starbucks, the saloon and the gift shop. We booked a standard room and it was totally fine for us. After we checked in and dropped off our luggage, we headed straight to Disneyland Park. It felt so good to be back again. Since it was a Sunday, the crowds were big and the waiting times quite long. We hadn't planned anything for our arrival day, so we just enjoyed the atmosphere and checked out the merchandise in the shops. However we did one ride, which was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril. Afterwards we tried the veggie burgers at Cafe Hyperion for dinner. They were okay, but really nothing special. Since the crowds were still huge, we decided to get a welcome drink at the Sportsbar in Disney Village. We spent quite some time there and a few drinks later we strolled through the shops, bought some souvenirs and a spirit jersey for Claudia and then returned to our room.
