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 Disney blue IDs and maingate passes and were issued tickets. We entered Disneyland Park just after noon. Not much has changed in the park since we last visited in 2014. 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.
The
Disneyland park is truly beautiful with lots of great details. It’s
also well laid out. Frontierland and Adventureland are swapped from
where they are in the American castle parks, and instead of Tomorrowland
it has a Discoveryland, which has a steam punk vibe. Several of the
classic rides are really well done here but with slight differences.
Their version of the Haunted Mansion, Phantom Manor, is cool because
it’s set in Frontierland. We had some pizza for dinner then headed out.
