Main Street: Main Street looked lovely while we were there. Always kept clean and the streetmousephere were out in force. It was lovely to see Main Street looking so lovely and to see the band playing every morning. My only problem with Main Street is that I'd love to see it without all the banners advertising the current 'party' and I'd love to see it return to it's classic look but I don't think that's going to happen.
Disneyland Railroad: 4/10 - This is a very low rating and this is nothing to do with the actuall attraction which is as good as ever. It's to do with the stupidity of the Disneyland Paris executives deciding that Main Street Station should be the only open station and that they only need to run one train meaning that unless you are there for opening in the morning then you have a minimum of a 35 minute wait and a possible 70 minute wait if you can't get on the next train. This angered me as we had to keep telling Kacee that the train was broken as he couldn't wait for 35-70 minutes for it. This would have been an 8 if it were not for this.
Frontierland:
I love this land...it looks a little odd to me without all the Halloween decorations which is very odd considering the amount of times I have been yet I have only been once during Halloween. Unfortunatly we only really do two attractions in this land and it almost seems like it needs a little more added into it.
Phantom Mannor: 10/10 - One of my top three rides at DLRP. I just can't get enough of this ride. One question for those who have been recently...has Madame Leota's hair colour changed?? It looked White to me and I thought it was brown/black before hand
This is a family favorate and we often ride it up to 4 times a day.
Woody's Roundup: 8/10 - The best place in the park for organised 'meet n greets'. I love it here (big Toy Story fan) and the fact that Kacee and Macklyn can meet up to 6 characters at a time here makes it great for kiddies too. Needs a little lick of paint here and there now but otherwise great.
Adventureland:
Another lovely land that we spend a great deal of our time in. I love exploring the caves and the Robinson's Tree House. I'm gradually passing that love onto Kacee too
We honestly spend hours climbing the Tree House and exploring the rest of Adventureland.
Pirates of the Caribbean: 9/10 - Another superb ride and another family favorate. Kacee now sings the Pirates song while playing with his pirate toys at home. A great ride...made better by having a slow ride thorough with the house lights on
Robinson's Tree House: 8/10 - A great attraction, missed by so many people. Glad that it's finally had it's makeover and that it looks all brand new again.
Pirate Caves: 9/10 - We can get lost in here for hours on end. A fantastic place to escape either the heat or the rain and great fun to let little one's search Davy Jones Locker for the lost treasure.
Aladdin's Enchanted Passage: 5/10 - Sorry but I just find this a bit boring...not really much mroe that I can say about this other than that it's covered and therefore out of the elements
Fantasyland:
The land where dreams come true. Not personally my favorate land but definatly the favorate of the boys. I love the fact that so many little hidden corners of Fantasyland are so well themed when they could easily have been left as they were. That for me is what Disney does over and above other parks.
Peter Pan: 9/10 - Turned into a family favorate on this trip with much thanks to the very nice people who left thier "Lifetime Fastpasses" on top of the Buzz fastpass machines
Really helped us out as it meant that we could hold fastpasses to Buzz and Peter Pan at the same time and really helped us during the busy day's.
Le Pay des Contes des Fayes: 7/10 - Only managed to ride this once due to the odd opening and closing times and generally not fitting into where we wanted to be. Good as usual although I think some scenes could do with a bit of a touch up and some could be swapped out for more up-to-date scenes.
Casey Junior: 9/10 - Oddly enough we rode this twice but LPDCDF only once
however we loved it as usual. Macklyn even stayed awake for this one so it must have been good.
It's a Small World: 10/10 - An obvous must-do for all families with young children. Kacee's favorate and certainly the one that Macklyn loved the most too. All animatronics fully working on every ride and seeing one of our CM friends here nearly everyday was awesome.
Mad Hatters Tea Cup's: 8/10 - A must do for me due to family connections to the ride. Kacee likes this one...he spins it so fast that it makes me feel sick but he loves doing it!
Snow White: 7/10 - Was a walk-on, I wouldn't have done it otherwise. Not a favorate of anyone's to be honest and one that I'd happily swap for an updated ride
Pinnochio: 7/10 - Same as Snow White for me. Infact I'd love to loose both of them for something like "Winnie the Pooh".
Discoverland:
This appears to be the land that we spend the least time in...this is only because there are not may attractions for the boys at the moment, as soon as they are old enough I can see us having trouble leaving Discoveryland. We really enjoy the Hyperion Cafe for our picnic place, Kacee loves the Cinema Mickey cartoons so it keeps him quiet!
Buzz Lightyears Laser Blasters: 9/10 - Kacee's favorate ride in this land and one of the big four that we have to do everyday (Buzz, Pirates, HM and IASW) Still looks good, as it should only being a few years old and lvoely to see the Animatronic Buzz working everyday of our trip.
Atmosphere: 9/10 - Very busy on some days with lots of spanish speaking visitors and lots of Irish visitors too. We had no problems whatsoever with anyone on this trip...a few pushers at the character's but that's to be expected.
Clenliness: 8/10 - Busy and because of that I think the CM's have difficulty keeping up. The Hyperion got disgusting over lunch times...seriously people does it hurt to empty a tray into a bin
CM's: 10/10 - Nice to see a lot of friends on the trip including an awesome guy from Newcastle who said 'Congratulations' to us on the birth of Macklyn...then moaned at us for Ellie riding POTC while pregnant
We had some great interactions and I relaly will make notes of names in October so that we can pop by City Hall.
Rides: 9/10 - Dodgy opening times for some but hey...that's life. Other than that very happy with the way things are looking and I loved seeing the amount of maintanence that was going on during our trip.
Attractions: 8/10 - Some looking a little dodgy now and a little worn...maybe the maintainence on these have suffered so that the rides don't.
Overall: 10/10 - A great trip, a lovely time and I can't wait to go back in October...only 6 days to go!
