Day 3 (12 November 2006). ME & M.I.C.K.E.Y
Ahhh......A place where the child in you take CHARGEEEEEEE!!!!
Hemm... am torn between blogging or just photo uploading since no-one need NO INTRODUCTION to Mr.Walt Disney & his companion ie Mickey the Mouse. Ok, Why not I just do a gist of it; there's 2 visit site, (1) Disneyland Park & (2) Walt Disney Studio. My (ever so clever) plan was to go to the Studio first, take some pics and then proceed to Disneyland for night shot of the FAMOUS and most ICONIC fairy-tale fortress - THE Cinderella Castle.
Truthfully, my main aim (since this is my 2nd visit to Paris Disneyland) is to take pic with the cartoon characters... WHY right? I don't know... I suppose because I always see my friends' Disney photo album - them with cartoon character and I feel I should have one too (since my earlier visit to Paris Disney & Orlando Disney World was without any, sob sob sob). Hemmm..... SELF-PITY! And did I manage? YES!!! I DID!!!!! I even had a pic with Mickey!!! How cool is that Hehehhe....... HAPPY like a KID! *grin - did I not warn you that "it will bring out the child in you*.
Did I play any ride? NOPE! Did that in Disney World - Florida and besides, playing alone wasn't that much fun anyway (no one to scream with you nor share your fear, fear & more fear... Terasa rugi ler jugak kan). THUUUUUUUSSSSS, to make up for all these lost (trying hard here to console meself, mind you), I DECIDED to take pics of every little thing; even the road sign (especially Monster Inc. heehehee.... BOO!).
Then ofcos I went on the Studio Tram Tour which took you behind the scene kinda thingy (old scene props basically), their wardrobe/costume and vehicles used for some movies. You know, the normal stuff you see in movie studios.
Alas..... the parade.... Always wanted to take pics of DISNEY parade, kinda a small one though but good enough lar.
As usual, you will pass the Main Street and shop at Disney merchandise store, I also bump into "MY" store which I don't remember owning. Hehhehehhe..... Of which, I ALSO DON'T MIND OWNING IT! MUAHAHHAHAA.....
I saw some Christmas carolers (strange, for some weird reason I thought this was supposed to spell with 2 "L"s) as I was roaming around waiting for night time. Aren't they cute with the old English costume *smile*.
After a minutes upon minutes of waiting (felt like hourSSSSS), finally! FINALLY! The Cinderella castle being "spot-lighted" (I created this silly word), ahhh...... BEAUTIFUL! You can here the song...
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
Aaaah..... ENCHANTING...

ReplyDeleteHey no! it's Lily Riani, the travelholic!
I hope I'll get to travel as much as you soon before old age catches up on me.
I never could get pictures with Disney characters, kids always swamped them everytime, and I don't want to fight with the small kids. =(
ReplyDeleteLoved EuroDisney. Lucky you, I only been there once!
YOu have a very good memories! You can remember so many things... some more way back in 2006!
ReplyDeleteI love to take photo with cartoon character but I prefer not to. while we thought it was fun but trust me the people who are using those mask are evil!
They can be very nice and seem naive with children but they are just too showing off.. when an adult try to take photo with them.
It seem weird I wrote something like this right :) My last trip to Disney land in Hong Kong, I had a bad experience with one of these cartoon character.
My mom was standing in line to take the photo with the character and out of sudden my mom was denied access! because the stupid character said my mom cut Que or maybe trying to say that my mom is too old for the photo session?
idiot people!
netster,
ReplyDeletegee, thats a bad experience. havent encounter that before but it was certainly rude and uncalled for. you wont get that in mat salleh country thast for sure.
