Three days is great for the park, but a rush through Paris.

Starting with the park:
Disneyland Paris is a beautiful park, you'll want to spend time just wandering it and appreciating how it was crafted. The lands are well seperated with little tranistions between them. Hi-lights I would seek:
  • The Dragon under the castle - one of the best animatronics ever
  • The caves in Adventureland, not just for kids - follow the underground roots and see where they take you
  • Pirates, Phantom Mannor, Big Thunder, Space Mountain, are a must
  • Indiana Jones, is painful - but if it's your first time, you'll do this any way, so you can share this complaint
  • Alice's Labyrinth is very cool, and much more involved than it seems - but weather may be an issue when you go
  • The arcades behind Main Street are cool passageways full of themeing treasures
  • Walt Disney Studios, is sad by comparison - but again if this is your first time, you'll have to go to confirm that. None-the-less, Cinemagique & Animagique are pretty cool shows
  • Have a late lunch at Walts and get a ariel view of the parade, afterwards wander the themed dinning rooms, which are also a treat
As for Paris - three days huh? I think I'd need three weeks
  • The Eifel Tower is a tourist must, so if you've never been, you ought to - but it will be full of tourists
  • You could spend days at the Louve, but it's also a must
  • I love just wandering the neighborhoods, you'll be in a pretty cool one and close the Latin Quarter & Left Bank - make sure you take some time to just walk about, get a bite or a drink in a cafe, and just soak in the city. I love Montmartre, but off the Butte, a bite and away from all the Tourists, there's still a Vineyard in that neighborhood along with the Windmills.
  • The Cemetaries are amazing, We wspent an afternoon in the one at Montpenasse - as well as the Catacombs.
  • A boat tour along the Siene is also a romantic treat if your traveling with an Amour.
Paris is so full of cool things, focus on your interests and you will be delighted - so tell us your interests and perhaps we can stear you to something you might not find otherwise.

In the meantime, you can catch some pics from our last trip to Paris here, and our last trip to DLP here.

Damn, not I want to go back

Bon Voyage!
