Ok, hi everyone! Next Disney trip is in almost exactly 30 days...we'll see if I can get this TR done before we go (not gonna lie, I'm not super optimistic! Going through my pictures...there's a lot #sorrynotsorry). This is going to include our Paris adventures before our 3 days at Disneyland Paris, since that was the overwhelming consensus on my last TR - I'll update the title with an indication of when the DLP part starts for anyone who wants to tune in at that point and not follow along with the pre-DLP Paris bits. But let's get to it!
The details:
who: me and my husband Trevor
when: Monday June 3 through Friday June 14th (Paris from June 4th through June 11th, Disneyland Paris from June 12th - June 14th)
where: Disneyland Hotel!
Introductions:
I'm Tiffany, I'll be your ghost host for this trip report. I'm 37 (but 36 on this trip) and while I'm a librarian by education, I currently do federal records management, since records management is where the pay is, and I gotta pay for Disney! Favorite princess is Sleeping Beauty, but I also love Mary Poppins and Beauty and the Beast and Rapunzel. Favorite ride at Disneyland Paris: Big Thunder Mountain, Phantom Manor, Hyperspace Mountain, and their Pirates of the Caribbean.
My traveling companion is my husband Trevor. He's 38 and loves Star Wars and Marvel, but has grown to love Disney--his favorite characters are Boba Fett, Vader and Stormtroopers, and on the non-Star Wars side, Grumpy. His favorite rides at Disneyland Paris are Big Thunder Mountain, Hyperspace Mountain, Web Slingers, and Avengers Flight Force (brb, getting a divorce cause Phantom Manor didn't make his list).
All right, let's get started! So, this trip was absolutely a last minute thing. Trevor switched positions at work earlier this year and now he travels a *lot* more, and so this trip popped up and I was like um heck yes I'm going to go with you! I did Paris by myself in 2022 and Trevor then joined me for a few days at DLP (see our TR for that trip: "But Your Back is Broken!" WDWers do Disneyland Paris - A Sept 2022 TR), and loved DLP enough that I absolutely wanted to go back. This actually was going to be a little bit of a repeat of that earlier trip, because Trevor would be working for the first week or so and so I'd be touring around by myself, before he took a few days to do Paris and then DLP before heading home. I did so much planning for the 2022 trip that I didn't do a ton of planning this time, especially 'cause Trevor's work schedule was a bit up in the air. But I did book the post-work days - a day in Paris to see the stuff Trevor wanted, a day doing Versailles, then Disneyland Paris! Now that the Disneyland Hotel was back open, and I'm ABSOLUTELY a princess fan, I talked Trevor into splurging and so we booked a room at the Disneyland Hotel. So excited! I didn't book any of the table service restaurants at Disneyland Paris, cause with only one full day, none of the restaurants were ones I wanted to repeat. But I did manage to stalk the app and book a reservation for La Table de Lumiere within the Disneyland Hotel. Yay!
Anyways, this is a bit of a scattered opening, which not gonna lie is a bit emblematic of how the trip went. I'm excited to re-live it but know it's gonna be bonkers scattered. But if you're up for it, come along!! (Also, I am going to apologize in advance - I got burned by the whole imgur pictures not embedding thing, so now I just embed my pictures directly in the posts, but there's a limit of 10 and if you are at all familiar with any of my previous trip reports, I include a LOT of photos. a LOT. So there will be a LOT of posts...sorry!)
