Disney Part I
My friend and I went to:
According to the news, it was supposed to rain all day, but we still decided to spend the entire day at Disney.
Aside from maybe 20 minutes, we had good weather all day!
Was that the reporter's mistake or Disney Magic?
We started the day by exploring Hollywood Studios. After seeing Lion King on Broadway in New York, I fell in love with watching live performances, so I always make sure to catch a show or two, but didn't get around to it this time. Instead we focused on the attractions. We did Rock n' Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror and Star Wars 4D Adventure. For the first time ever, I was able to keep my eyes open through Tower of Terror!
After Hollywood Studios, we headed to Magic Kingdom to try and stalk some princesses and eat some yummy snacks. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, the princesses were taking a break from their oh-so-exhausting life of riches and royalty, so we weren't able to get any pictures with them, but we did manage to catch sight of the new princess from BRAVE, and a show with my one true love--Peter Pan.
We had a major LOL moment when we were leaving Cinderella's castle. You're supposed to enter on the left side, leave on the right. However, people were entering from both directions, so it was impossible to get to the right side to leave. I got fed up and grabbed my friend and dragged her through the crowd and a bunch of people snapped at me for cutting them off. As we were walking out, I told my friend, "It's not that complicated. Why can't Americans get it? Left is in, right is out. There are even signs. Anyway, if they're not going to play nice, neither am I." A man in of us turned and asked where we were from. My friend told him I was from Japan and she was from Puerto Rico. He laughed and told me I had guts for saying that out loud. He was from Canada and he had been thinking the same thing I had but hadn't dared to say it. We just all started laughing over it.
There was a lot of construction going on. Disney is apparently adding an entire new village and two new castles to the Magic kingdom. We decided that Disney was going to expand to the point that Florida residents were going to be living inside these little villages.
After Magic Kingdom, we went to Epcot. So much happened there that it deserves a post all to itself.
The rain is insane right now, the power is flashing and a flood warning has been issued so I'm going to go help secure some things in case of a flood.

Anyway, I've read some blogs of people who visited all the Disney parks in the world and the one in France is usually rated as one of the best, so I guess it is worth a visit - of course almost all the attractions are the same as in the other parks =P

I tried looking at the website for the Paris one some time ago, but I was disappointed to see everything was in English--even the voices on the videos! If I go to the one in Paris, I want them to speak French. It's part of the magic.
Maybe I'll look up some blogs about Disney Paris! Thanks for the idea!

Here's a short video of the Tower of Terror in French: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qAtwU7yVS4
Personally I also prefer the French audios over the English =D

I'd probably die.
