Faraway Fridays

Yeah so I've just been lazy this week, my apologies.  In a perfect world, I would be debt free, living in my own home, driving a new car, working as a indepedent fashion designer and travel writer, and have a Disney Vacation club membership.  But I'm a broke wannabee fashion designer and travel writer who needs a new car, lives in the apartment of her parents house and praying to God I'll get a new job to pay off my debts.  And I dream of going on a Disney vacation.  Like going to Disneyland Paris.  I admit I've never given much thought to going to this park, but looking at the website it looks like fun!  Although I would probably stay at a partnership hotel rather than a disney hotel.  Most of them look like they haven't been updated recently. And being in Paris, I want a Parisian experience so I think I would stay at the Hotel l'Elysee Val d'Europe.  It looks like a nice hotel with classic French architechture mixed with modern decor and style. 

Disneyland Paris consists of five lands.  Main Street USA, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Adventureland and Discoveryland.  And so far most of the attractions are the same as Disneyland in California, but there are some unique gems you can only see in Disneyland Paris. 

Like Alice's Labyrinth, or Captain EO with Michael Jackson and Indian Jones Temple of Peril.  Then there is the Walt Disney Studio's Park which looks simular to Hollywood Studios.  After all there is the Tower of Terror, the Tram Tour, CineMagic (the ride throught the movies) Rock'nRollercoaster starring Aerosmith, Lights Motors Action! Stunt Spectacular.  But something unique here is Stitch Live!  It's like Turtle Talk with Crush where Stitch actually interacts with the audience.  That I'd like to see. Also there's a ride that takes you inside Armagedeons special effects.  Armagedeon? Really?  They couldn't come up with anything current like Pirates of the Caribbean or the Avengers? 

Toon Studios seems to have the most unique attractions.  Like Crush's Coaster, and Race Car Rally and Animagique, and Flying Carpets over Agrabah and an old favorite of mine the Art of Animation.

In general, Disneyland Paris may be just like Disneyland in California and Hollywood Studios in WDW, but there are enough unique rides and attractions to keep things interesting for Disney fans.  Besides, doing the trip with Disney may be a great way for one to also enjoy the sights and sounds of Paris.  Like do a day at Disneyland Paris, spend a day in Paris, do a night in at the Walt Disney Studios Park, do a Night in Paris, spend the day exploring the french countryside full of castles.  Sounds like a fun vacay to me.
