Fun first ride choice! So funny that you understood it better than the one in DL!
Great Adventureland/Pirates photos! So cool that there's a ride photo on Pirates.
Cannot wait to read more
When I ride Pinocchio in DL, I have absolutely no clue what is happening! It was pretty funny that it is more understandable in French than in English. lol
It would be pretty cool to have a ride photo on Pirates in WDW and DL!
I have absolutely no knowledge of the attractions of Disneyland Paris, so it's really fascinating to me to see this. Interesting about Pinocchio. I did ride it in Anaheim, but honestly can't remember much about it at all.
OMG!!!!! A PIRATES RIDE PHOTO!!!! That is awesome! Haha, it does look like some in your boat may have ridden this before.
I did my best to keep myself totally clueless about the attractions at DLP so that I could experience everything with no expectations. It made it so much more fun! Now that we have been to WDW so many times and DL a fair few, it's hard to get that same experience in the US parks. So it was pretty cool to go to a brand new park where it was like experiencing everything for the first time again.
Doesn't it? It kind of made me think of your Gap sweatshirt wearing crew on RnRC. lol
Cool! I was close!!!
Funny how you understand the French version better. We just rode at DL, but yeah, I really can't say much about the ride there. I guess it has been a long time since I've seen Pinocchio also and it isn't necessarily one of my favorite Disney movies, if I'm being honest about it. I don't know, maybe the fact that it was in a different language forced you to pay more attention to the details and pick up on other visual cues?
That does look awesome! And don't feel too bad about it. I'm sure you had that feeling several times over the time you were in the parks there, but you've got to just enjoy the moment!
Hmmm... a merge of Aladdin and the Lion King? Interesting.
Totally makes sense. I'd agree that it was worth it to lose some value for something quick that was right there. Time is money!!
Got to give credit to the CM for taking time to explain and to make it clear that you weren't getting the maximum value out of it by doing Quick Service.
Must be a French thing?
Looks like it was an inside joke and you were the only ones not in on it!
That looks awesome! I don't know much about DL Paris, but I believe this is the first I've heard of this particular attraction. Definitely something I'm sure I'd enjoy.
Pinocchio is certainly not one of my favorite movies either, but I thought I knew the general storyline until I rode the one in DL and thought, huh?! The DLP version was so much easier to follow!
I did have that feeling a lot in the parks (it's hard not to when you're in a Disney park, no matter which one!), but it helped knowing we would just be there for another day and then we would be going home to see him!
Adventureland had all kinds of movie themeing happening that you don't see in the US parks! There was another restaurant themed after Jungle Book.
Absolutely! It was sort of like "free dining" anyway, we got it with the room package, so it didn't really concern us to lose a little on the meal if it meant more time enjoying the park since our time was so limited. But I have to say, it was so great of the CM to explain what the voucher actually entailed and to make sure we knew that we could use it more wisely if we wanted to.
Indiana Jones was AWESOME! Aside from California Screamin', Disney doesn't usually have those kinds of intense coasters with inversions outside, so it was pretty cool to get on this one!
Ummmmm.....
The Palm-Back VA bad idea in: The UK, Australia, New Zealand, Italy
Like a peace sign, but backwards, in both execution and meaning. Raise two fingers in a "V" with your palm facing you to say, "up your ***" or "**** off." George Bush, Sr. famously gave the sign to Australians in 1992, thinking he was giving the peace sign. The "V" is also considered rude in
Italy, especially if you place your nose between the two fingers to resemble a crude ******... or your ****** between the two fingers to resemble a crude nose.
Sayhello
Yikes!!!
Guess we did good by not joining in?!
I totally forgot about the free meal vouchers. Score!
I love that pirate ship play area. It is super cool. That rock formation is neat.
Love the pinocchio ride and how great that you totally understood what was happening.
But the POC pictures are the BEST. You're right - I see some scenes that look exactly the same and others that are so different. Very fun. And yay for a redneck ride photo to boot!
That was a great little perk, even if we weren't using it to its full potential. It did what we needed it to do for us to get on with our evening and keep enjoying the park!
Adventureland is probably my favorite park in both US parks because of the themeing, and I have to say that Adventureland in DLP followed along the same lines. I was totally in love with the entire Pirates area!
Pirates was very cool, because while it didn't have any of the movie characters like Jack Sparrow and Barbossa, it was pretty cool seeing so many familiar sights (even if they were speaking French
).
