Feeling a bit more awake after a caffeine fix, but still not
wanting to walk all the way, we caught the Disneyland Railroad for a
tour around the outside of the park.
The train at Main Street Station
The train passes through a tunnel containing a Grand
Canyon diorama before arriving in Frontierland
Adventureland is next
A quick stop in Fantasyland
This is where we had queued for Lion King tickets
earlier in the day
Discoveryland was our final destination
We still had some time before our FastPass slot on Big Thunder
Mountain, so we took the opportunity to re-ride Buzz Lightyear which
was open again for the afternoon.
Buzz Lightyear was attracting a lot of interest ...
... and another long queue. We waited almost
an hour again (no FastPass until official opening on April 8th)
My score was no better than before (Level 3), but
Paul managed a Level 4
One of the few remaining things to try in
Discoveryland was the classic Autopia
Riders get to drive a car around the circuit,
controlling the accelerator and the steering (to a degree at least -
guide tracks stop you going too far off course)
At least I was better at this than Karting
At last it was time to use our Big
Thunder Mountain FastPass!
The ride is loads of fun and brilliantly themed
The train travels under the lake and then around and
through the mountain
After riding it it's easy to see why Big Thunder
Mountain is so popular
There was just enough time for a re-ride on Pirates
of the Caribbean to end the day
We were allowed to stay on and ride it twice,
confirming it as my favourite Disneyland Paris dark ride
Time to walk through Adventureland and back to Main
Street after an incredible Disney magic filled day
Even Mickey was feeling a little tired
The crowds walk back down Main Street
Goodnight Mickey - see you tomorrow!
We stopped off at Planet Hollywood for dinner
A quick explore of Disney Village and then back to
the hotel
