Europe Day 15 - Walt Disney Studios Park

The Paris resort consists of two parks, a retail area with some restaurants and a cinema, and a half dozen hotels. Our cast tickets allowed us to hop between parks so that’s what I did. While Susan and Jenn looked at the stores in Disney Village I went over to the Studio park. Just recently Disney revamped the Backlot area of that park into an Avengers Campus. I 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.

 

Today the parks opened at 9:30 so we slept in a bit and left the hotel around 9. We went into Disneyland and rode a few things, then went to the Studios park, mostly to ride the new Spider-Man ride in the Avenger Campus.

The Walt Disney Studios Park is still fairly light on attractions, but they are currently working on a Frozen expansion and supposedly are planning more. The Toy Story area at the Studio park is just flat rides, so we walked through it without riding anything, just like we did in 2014. The old “backstage” tram tour is now a Cars Route 66 ride. It’s kind of lame. Two of the most popular rides at the Studios are Ratatouille and the Crush Coaster, and we didn’t care about doing those. Crush Coaster is a spinning mouse we had done in 2014, and it was a one and done for us.

The Spider-Man ride was similar to Midway Mania and the Avengers coaster was a bit dark and rough. We didn’t eat at any table service restaurants in the parks; there weren’t many reservations available and the menus didn’t appeal to us. It was fairly cool both yesterday and today, with highs in the mid 60’s. Crowds weren’t too bad, most waits were in the 30 to 60 minute range and some were walk on. There was a fair amount of construction walls up and several attractions were closed. I would have liked to watch the fireworks show, but it wasn’t until 11 o’clock.
