Disneyland Paris REVIEW OF DISNEYLAND PARIS TRIP 7TH – 9TH FEBRUARY 2020, BY EVA GREEN, 1T
After a bleary – eyed start at 6:15 am, including a packed breakfast on the coach and a brief stop for hot chocolate at Starbucks at the Euro Star Terminal, we were finally on our way to France.
W
hen we arrived at the Explorers hotel, we collected our room keys and excitedly tumbled into our rooms. After about an hour of settling in, we all went to the hotel play area, where we wildly ran around, climbing, and playing manhunt. Once we were all worn out, we mounted the shuttle bus and set off to Disneyland Paris, to spend our first evening at Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. We were given cowboy hats to wear, which we all kept as a souvenir. When we were all seated, the arena burst to life with horses, buffalo, Cowboys and Cowgirls, and Red Indians, and of course Mickey and Friends! During the Rodeo Games, one of the the students in
our group was called up, much to our amusement and delight, and even won a medal for his shooting skills! It was hilarious when one of the teachers was called up alongside others to protect the gold our team had won, only to be captured by robbers! Fortunately they were rescued by the cowboys! We enjoyed a hearty feast of chilli and apple pie and it was a fantastically fun evening! The next morning, after a breakfast selection of croissants, bread, fruit and hot chocolate, we set off for the Disney Park. We had a brilliant day on the different rides, screaming our heads off on thrilling rollercoasters. My highlights were the Ratatouille Ride and Hyperspace Mountain.
I loved the chocolate crepes that we bought from a stall. At end of this exhilarating day, we even had time for a spot of gift shopping before heading back to the hotel. On Sunday, we packed our bags, and headed off…into Paris! We zoomed up fifty six floors of the Montparnasse Tower, where we were greeted by the spectacular view of the city. We had a superb view of the Eiffel Tower which was the highlight of the day. We stopped off at a market where our challenge was to choose and buy our lunch by speaking only French. Our last excitement of the day was a boat ride along the Seine, where we had an even closer view of the Eiffel Tower, many of us heading onto the outer deck, into the raging wind, to take a photo. At 10:30 pm we finally arrived back at school, exhausted after an unbelievably incredible weekend. It was one of the best experiences of my life!
