Euro Disney

Today we went to Euro Disney. We had to get up really early and walk (again) to the place where the bus picked us up. 

The bus ride took about 45 minutes which gave us a little chance to have a snooze. 

We arrived at the park and were given invisible stamps on our hands (or were we)... 

Firstly we went on the Buzz Lightyear ride which had us in little space ships, shooting at the aliens and other bad guys. 

Space Mountain was awesome but left us a little giddy and queezey. It was a really fast roller coaster in the dark - it went upside down and jerked side to side. 

We went to the shooting gallery and then to a roller coaster called Thunder Road - which we thought was going to be sedate enough for
Brooke - we were wrong. Still Brooke love the roller coaster. She did not know if she wanted to laugh or scream. We got a great photo of her - eyes closed and tense. 

We watched the stunt cars and the history of animation as well as show on special effects. 

We went on a tram ride which showed how the movie makers made sets etcetera. That show had thousands of liters of water and fire balls coming towards us. 

We went on a Pirates of the Caribbean boat ride which had some great puppets and also a life(ish) size version of the Black Pearl. 

The girls did a little shopping and lastly we wandered through the Mad Hatters maze.
