Right after indicating that all of the photos were edited and promising that I would finish this trip report soon, I went on a two week hiatus from posting. Oops. I think most of you probably understand, as we’ve been in Japan for the last couple of weeks, and my staff of 1 doesn’t work
This day would be our last full day at Disneyland Paris. If you haven’t read about the previous days, before reading this, you should check out the previous installments, which contain hundreds of photos. The last installment ended up taking the site down several times throughout the day when it was posted, so this report
Sorry for the delay in getting this installment posted. I know this is the highlight of approximately no one’s day, but still. We were in Walt Disney World a couple weekends ago and since I’ve been working on some exciting things that we can’t wait to share with you soon. (This seems to be the
Only a few hours after going to bed, it was time to get up for our 7:00 a.m. breakfast time slot at Sequoia Lodge. We opted for Sequoia Lodge rather than going to Disneyland Hotel this morning because Sarah thought she might go back to bed after breakfast and the walk to Disneyland Hotel and
Before we get to the meat of this installment of the Disneyland Paris Christmas 2012 trip report, a couple of housekeeping items. First, thanks for all of the comments to the first installment. It was cool for us to see so many comments from so many different places. For this installment, I would love it
For the longest time, we were Walt Disney World snobs. Although we regularly vacationed elsewhere, we couldn’t fathom “betraying” our home Disney resort and going to those “other” Disney theme parks. More importantly, since we only visited Walt Disney World one or two times per year, we couldn’t imagine skipping Walt Disney World for a
At the end of day 2’s installment, I forgot to share photos of the Swan & Dolphin Christmas decorations. They have an interesting tree that I doubt many people bother going to see, so I figured I’d share it here. I also want to thank you all for the feedback on poll for the next
Before I get started, thank you all for the great response to the first day of the trip report. It was quite popular and despite that it only caused the website to go down once! Since the site goes down about 4 times per day on a normal day now, I’ll consider it only being
The next day we did something that was fairly rare for us. In fact, it’s something we hadn’t done since our “Disneymoon” in 2010. We set aside a day to relax at our hotel. Despite staying at several nice Disney resorts in the past two years, we had never set aside a day to actually
We normally are not under-dressed at Walt Disney World restaurants. When we eat at a signature restaurant, we normally dress accordingly, usually to the point that we’re overdressed. However, for the third time in 2012, we felt under-dressed for a meal. In contrast to our meal at Bistro de Paris where we felt undressed due
The next morning repeated my popular refrain: I got up really early to wander around the resort. There’s a reason I don’t call these vacation reports (besides the fact that “trip report” was a common term before I started writing my own reports) and that’s because the word vacation implies some sort of relaxation.
