Where is Everyone?
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
As we're walking through Fantasyland, I'm surprised to see how empty it is. Where did everyone go? I'd love to visit the American Disney Parks when they look like this. Those places always seem to beRead more
Stained Glass Windows
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
Right next to the carousel is a shop with beautiful stained glass windows featuring the carousel horses. I'm a fan of both carousels and stained glass so these windows were a big hit with me!
The Castle
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
We're leaving Fantasyland by taking a walk through the castle. I'm still so impressed by Belle's castle! I think that, of all of the Disney Parks castles that I've seen, this one is the best!
More Popcorn Carts
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
We passed another popcorn cart with little working figure and, while I was glad to see it, I was a bit disappointed that it was exactly the same as the one I saw before except for the differentRead more
Discoveryland
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
We're here in Discoveryland now. This is, basically, the same thing as Tomorrowland at the Disney Parks in the States with a different name. I hope that we enjoy this area of Disneyland Paris as muchRead more
Space Mountain
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
Discoveryland seems to be the most popular part of Disneyland Paris and it's easy to see why. This seems to be where the majority of the park's rides are. Let's start having fun!
Target Practice
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
The first ride that we got on was Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. This attraction is exactly the same in all of the Disney Parks and that's not necessarily a bad thing. This is a really great rideRead more
Score Big Points
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
Here's a tip on how to rack up a big score on this ride. Generally, the left side gun is much better situated to achieve the highest score possible. So, if you want to be the winner, sit on the leftRead more
Good Times
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
I've read, in several places, that of all the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin attractions this one in Disney Land Paris in the worst shape and is in need of major matinence. I'm not sure how trueRead more
It's Zurg!
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
The Scary Factor for this ride is Zero. As for concerns of motion sickness, although it's possible to spin the vehicles around manually, it shouldn't upset even the most prone to motion sicknessRead more
Shoot to Score
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
Whereas many laser gun rides feature little or no plot, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast sees riders attempting to stop Zurg from hoarding every power cell in the universe. In typical “Toy Story”Read more
Get Him, Buzz!
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
Upon reaching the end of the circuit, each rider receives a score and a ranking. This can range from Star Cadet (0 to 1,000 points) through to Galactic Hero (999,999 or more points). Realistically, aRead more
The XP-41
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
Like all of the other Disney attractions, their ride carts look fantastic. I like this one so much that I even have a miniature version of this cart back at home. The Disney Parks used to sell manyRead more
Exit Through the Gift Shop
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
Like most Disney attractions, you have to pass through a gift shop to exit the ride. I'm guessing that it's good business sense for the Disney Parks but most park guests see it as an annoyance. IRead more
Back in Discoveryland
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
We didn't see anything that we wanted in the Buzz Lightyear gift shop so we walked back out into Discoveryland, ready to enjoy everything that this futuristic land had to offer.
The Future is in the Past
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
I like the unique look that Discoveryland has. Unlike the Tomorrowlands in other Disney Parks, this one is both futuristic and old fashioned at the same time. It makes me think of the old time storiesRead more
Discoveryland Topiary
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
I always enjoy seeing interesting looking topiaries and Discoveryland had some great ones. While they are not elaborate animals, like I usually see at theme parks, these unusual looking trees fit inRead more
Submarine
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
This submarine looks exactly like the one in the old Disney movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I've never seen that movie yet but it has great reviews. I should make the time to watch that filmRead more
The Nautilus
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
I'm not sure if people can ride on this submarine but I'm hoping that we can. I know that Disneyland in California has a submarine ride but I always thought that they were the only park that had one.Read more
Les Mystères du Nautilus
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
Entering through what looks like a lighthouse, were on our way to the Nautilus submarine. Although this looks like a ride queue, we seem to be the only people here so I'm not sure what to expect atRead more
Inside the Nautilus
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
This is what we came to at the end of the corridor. It's not a ride boarding point, as I had expected, just an empty room. It's very well decorated, made up as the inside of the Nautilus submarine butRead more
Captain Nemo's Piano
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
The Main Salon is the heart of the Nautilus. Books, artifacts, and numerous treasures of the sea are gathered here. The Captain's organ stands on the far side and guests can see Nemo's reflection whenRead more
The Giant Squid
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
This giant squid is probably the best, and most exciting, aspect of the Nautilus. It seems to be some sort of 3D projection and looks like it's really outside the window. As the squid approaches,Read more
The Piano
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
Here's another look at Captain Nemo's piano. In this shot the effect of seeing Captain Nemo's face in the mirror can be clearly seen. It's a good effect!
The Way Out
November 8, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
Although guests may believe they are visiting the submarine seen in the lagoon, the 'underwater tunnel' actually leads them in completely the opposite direction - just outside the public areasRead more
