A Full Disney Day Continued

-
Samantha and I continued our Disney day, finding our way through Alice's Curious Labyrinth. 








A trip through the Queen of Hearts Maze was on the cards.






At the top of the Queen's castle we looked down upon Disneyland Paris.






We made the most of the photo op by the exit... for the blog, of course.




Next we hopped into a Storybook Land Canal Boat.




We sailed past storybook scenes.






If you look closely at the next photo you can see Dorothy, Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man at the steps of the Emerald City.






The voyage through It's a Small World saw me visiting countries I've lived in. I dropped by England,


Australia,


and the US.


We then zoomed through space on Hyperspace Mountain.




We also visited Captain Nemo's Nautilus where we spotted this impressive organ.




After the fireworks we still had some time to kill before our pre-booked dinner show, so made our way to the lavish Disneyland Hotel. Here we inspected the gingerbread house in the foyer.




Then we relaxed in the hotel lounge where we saw a few characters walk by.






We then got kicked out of the lounge (very politely) because we weren't buying any drinks, did a little window shopping and walked to the Wild West Dinner Show. 




I'd booked tickets to this show without really researching what it was. It was one of the suggested add-ons when purchasing the Disneyland Paris vacation package. I love Disney, I love Mickey and his pals, I love shows, and I love dinner, so surely it would be good.




The pre-show experience was the best part. Mickey handed everyone a hat.


It was of course compulsory for us to pose in them. 








We heard some music and stories.




Then we entered the arena.






Samantha and I were in the cheap seats. 




The Tex Mex set menu was pretty tasty. 




The Wild West Dinner Show included demonstrations. There was also audience participation with games where the crowd was divided into four competing teams.




The show left me with a few questions. How are the animals treated behind the scenes?


Were we truly appreciating the Native American culture for its rich history and traditions?


And why didn't we get to see more of Mickey and the gang?






Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Chip and Dale were definitely a production highlight.




Our full day at Disneyland Paris had come to an end. The next day would be the end of our Parisian vacation.

The End of My USA Holiday

Ok, so we’ve gotta go back to January last year for this one.  My final blog about my trip to see the Bravos is very condensed. I was sick, so couldn’t really do much for the last week.  Thankfully, Paige was able to visit.  It was so good to see fellow Pizza Planetear. We of course DFEMed (Dessert For Every Meal), and played some games. Other things I got up to that week included story time with Addy, eating some of the same meals as Addy and game time with Addy.  I also binged The Crown. When Addy was out she decided I needed a love heart cookie.  Addy’s nail salon opened on our final morning. I couldn’t attend, so Alicia took some photos.  At the airport I was fixing up my bag and I heard a little voice yell, “I need to hug Aunt Clary!” I was always going to go back for a hug.  Mum and I had a meal in the airport. Apparently I really felt connected to the colour orange that day.  Then we were flying high over NYC back to Syd.

That Time I Surprised Addy

At the beginning of last year I decided it would be fun to spend Christmas in New York with my niece. I also thought it would be a good idea to surprise her. A week or so (I actually can’t remember how long before) my mum and I told Addy over a video call that we’d be spending Christmas with her, her mum (my sister, Alicia) and her dad (Carlos). The journey for Mum and I started in Sydney… with a photo for the blog, of course.  After an insane amount of hours flying, an encounter with an angry, egotistical TSA agent (or was that on the way home?) we made it to the newly renovated Terminal B in LaGuardia Airport.  Back tracking a little, Mum and I were lined up to walk past sniffer dogs. Except you couldn’t see what was actually happening because there were partitions. But I could hear a TSA agent regularly telling people to listen and repeating instructions aggressively.  I was determined to be the perfect passenger and get it right.  Ok, so now it’s my turn to get s...
