Today we got up early and took the train to the Disneyland resort. We got there just before opening, and tried to quickly go on all the rides that were unique or different in Paris and that we knew would get long lines.
Although it was crowded, through a good plan and use of fastpasses, we were able to do most of the things we wanted, like Space Mountain. Instead of Tomorrowland, Disneyland Paris has a Discoveryland - the theme is more Jules Verne/H.G. Wells/Steampunk than that of other parks, although it still has Star Tours and Buzz Lightyear.
Instead of the Haunted Mansion, Disneyland Paris has a Phantom Manor, which is themed to a western ghost town. We really enjoyed just looking at the architectural features of the park - it is really pretty, with lots of details.
We had lunch at the Agrabah Cafe. It was a Middle Eastern buffet themed to an outdoor marketplace, even though it was inside.
By the late afternoon we were getting pretty cold and tired though, and the lines were pretty long, so we went out to the hotel that sits right in front of the park and had coffee and hot chocolate.
Then we went back in and watched the short Christmas parade and rode a few more rides and did some shopping. We headed out a little after 8 pm, about two hours before park closing, and stopped at the World of Disney store in the adjacent shopping village.
