I survived! And we had a great time. In the correct sequence of enjoyment - the hotel, the food, thunder mountain, pirates of the carribean and the wine. The hotel - lovely!! (this is the witch from the hotel lobby) After all the etaps and ibises, it was sublime pleasure to get back into the lap of luxury. Especially after Paimpol. We moved from a hotel room where I had to get into the loo, adjust myself and then call out to Tweedledum to come and close the door (lack of space, you see) to a room where there were two double beds, incase we couldn't sleep together....also, mickey mouse soaps and shampoos;-)
The food - aahhh!! Ate and ate and ate - had my fill of fine french cuisine. Now the dieting has to begin and this time seriously. Am getting sooo puffy. The best was, of course, buffet desserts. Yummy!!!
The rides - we went to Black Thunder mountain and Indiana Jones. The first was scary on day one but day two, I loved it!
Indiana Jones - I screamed and screamed and screamed - in fact, I think I started screaming before the ride even began. Thats how psyched I was. Didn't think I could take it a second time - so didnt attempt it. As for Space Mountain, went all the way in but then chickened out. Just couldnt get myself to sit in the damn torture chamber. The darkness and the screams of people were petrifying. Why torture yourself? Pirates of the Carribean was an amazing ride - totally worth the wait of 45 minutes. The set up was so realistic - tried taking pics but they do no justice to the real thing, as usual. The other good ones - Peter Pan (caters to the child in me;-)), Cinemagic, Aerosmith.
What was amazing was that we were there for three days and I saw no kid cry! They all looked so happy. The funny moment was when all the cartoon characters came out for the parade - I was so excited to see Donald Duck that I was standing there mesmerised with my mouth open and then I looked around and found myself surrounded by 5 year olds with exactly the same expression. I think thats the beauty of Disneyland - it lets you be a kid once more.
