Short trip report

[erider]

Just wanted to post a short trip report of my DLP trip. I was there from Saturday 26 November till Monday 28 November. I was by myself this trip, and stayed at the B&B hotel Bussy-St-Georges which was 50 euro per night. It was a low budget trip, but the hotel was fine but very basic.

The Christmas entertainment was great! I loved the Christmas parade and the tree lightning ceremony which included live singers and dancers. It was also great to see the regular parade which was now performing in the dark which adds an extra dimension I think. Dreams of Christmas was beautiful as well, I know most people like the regular Dreams show better, but I like that they change it for the Christmas season.

It was pretty busy, even on Monday there where some considerable waits (50 min Crush, 30 min Pirates, 40 min Peter Pan) which I didn't expect.

I was however a bit shocked by the state Pirates was in. A lot of animatronics and effects where broken. I hear they are closing it down in January for a 6 month refurbishment which it really needs. Space Mountain also had some broken effects, but that closes down in January as well. The other rides where in better shape.

I loved Mickey and the Magician, saw it twice! The best show in Disneyland Paris in my opinion.

Overall a good trip, the next one will be during the 25th.

Thanks for sharing, but disappointing to hear about the shape of some of the rides. Pirates is one of my favorites, but can't remember the last time I saw everything working.

............ Pirates is one of my favorites, but can't remember the last time I saw everything working.

But have you been stuck on the ride. A few years ago as we were travelling around we noticed that the boat was slowing down, then we just stopped. We were just entering the town scene. The next thing all the lights went on, it really does not look good in bright lights. We sat on the boat for about 5 minutes not really knowing what to do, wondering if we were going to have to get out the boat and wade to the side. Then as suddenly as it stopped it started up again. So I am not so bothered if bits are not working as long as we keep moving.

Glad you had a good trip erider, I hope Mickey and the Magician is still on when we go in April.
