Europe Day 14 Disneyland Paris

After breakfast today we took an Uber to a hotel in Val d’Europe. I wanted to stay at a Disney hotel but in order to get a cast rate I had to call France to book it and there was almost no discount. It was very frustrating. We ended up booking a couple of rooms at a hotel one train stop away from the Disney resort.

We stayed at the Moxy, a fairly new hotel. The rooms were fairly small but we had two. They would be fine rooms for a single business traveler but not so much for family on vacation. There was no mini fridge, no breakfast, and not much storage room. Not even a coffee maker. We dropped our bags and headed to the RER station, where we bought a book of 10 tickets to go back and forth from the parks.

We went to guest relations and showed our blue IDs and maingate passes and were issued tickets. We entered Disneyland Park just after noon. We had a snack and rode Phantom Manor, Pirates, and Small World, but mostly my two former merchandise cast members wanted to check out the shops. The park was still celebrating its 30th anniversary so they had stuff for that. We had some pizza for dinner then headed out.

While Susan and Jenn looked at the stores in Disney Village I went over to the Studio park and rode Avengers Assemble Flight Force, a revamp of Hollywood Studios Rock n Roller coaster. The girls then headed back to hotel to rest and I went back into Disneyland to ride Star Tours and Hyperspace Mountain, which is their version of Space Mountain with a Star Wars overlay.
