Highs & Lows - Feb. 24!

[MPLsDad]

Highs:
Crush's Coaster - Park officially opened at 10, but gates opened at 9:30. Rode Crush and went on our way to Disneyland by 9:55am. The line was incredibly long by the time we left. We learned from this board to get there early! THANK YOU!
Weather - Cloudy all day but sunny by the afternoon. Just perfect cool weather.
Beer - Available in the Hyperion Cafe! LOVED IT!
Fast Pass - It just worked out that every time we got a FP, one would be available soon after for the next ride we wanted. We FP'ed all the rides to our advantage!
Toad Hall - I <3 Toad and eating at Toad Hall was perfect - no lines, edible food, a tad expensive - but TOAD HALL!
Transportation - Took the RER from Paris and then back again - a perfect day trip!
Details - This park is so beautiful! I hope the refurb to WDW's Fantasyland is comparable (but I doubt it). They have a windmill even if it's only a CS for snacks!
Phantom Manor - Read the backstory before you go and it'll make perfect sense.

LOWS:
Smoking - Really? So many people need to smoke EVERYWHERE? Gross.
Smoking - Did I mention this already?
Walt's - Closed for refurb - WAAAHHHHH!

Glad you had so many high's, we really liked Toad Hall too.

Smoking is a much discussed issue on here, as a Florida veteran but Paris novice I too was surprised, but didn't let it spoil our enjoyment.

I actually saw 2 people smoking at a petrol station, and why they have to light up soon as they get inside the theme park I really don't know...anyway less of that, nice to see you had a good time.

welcome back
would like to hear more about meal in Toad hall. Will you write a review? Or post in your TR?

Smoking... Why people smoke? Ban smoking

Can you tell me what your average temps were for the days there?
We are traveling there on January 6. I am curious about temperatures.

 

[emmabelle]

was the RER super crowded going back and forth to Paris? We're going to be doing this March 15th.

Did you only do Crush in the studios? Was curious about queue's for TOT and RNRC.

Oh and I dread the cigarette smoke too.

I hate all the smoking, too. Last time I went there was a group of students smoking weed in the queue line for RC Racer It really upset me, ruins the magic a bit, especially as a CM walked right past and didn't say anything.

DH smokes, but whenever we go to a theme park, zoo, farm or any other children orientated place he doesn't smoke at all. Shame others can't be so considerate.

I am glad you had a great time, always good to see the list of highs being much longer than the list of lows!!

 

[ShimmerTinks]

Sounds like you had a great time!! More highs than lows

Im really dreading the smoking too!....Me and my partner are both non smokers! So when i am around it smells so so strong!
I dont have a problem with people smoking, If they want to fair enough.
But i just hope people dont do it while queuing for a ride?! You cant really get away from it! I def dont want it in our faces or especially my DS face.

Can anyone tell me if those cool portable/personal fans are available for purchase at either DL or WDS?

I also hate the smoking. It should only be done in designated areas as it is in America.

The Windmill (Old Mill) used to be an attraction! It was a (little!) big wheel. They shut it down because it had a very poor capacity. The queues for it were very long and it led to a lot of dissatisfied guests.

I remember going on the (little!) big wheel years ago, I remember queueing for ages and being thoroughly underwhelmed by it!
