Paris/DLP October 2019 - Trip Report: Day Three

Image
Just like that, we’re onto our third and final day which also means my final trip report. This was my first time doing trip reports and I really enjoyed doing them! The night before, we decided that we’d try and make this day as good as possible. We came up with a plan to try and tackle the problems we faced the day before and just agreed that we’d take everything as it came and enjoy ourselves as it was our last day. So, suitcases in tow, Jade and I set off to Disneyland Park for Extra Magic Time. Thankfully, we didn’t have to wait long for the train and we were able to be there for gate opening. We dropped our cases off in guest storage and then headed straight to the ticket office to buy Molly’s ticket. This made life so much easier. We used the extra magic time to go on Big Thunder Mountain, take some empty park photos and then when Molly arrived after 9, we gave her the ticket and once she was allowed onto Main Street, we queued to meet Stitch. Thankfully his queue wasn’

We then went to the ticket office so we could buy Molly her one day two park entrance ticket, which when buying with an annual pass, you get for 45 euros. Side note: You can buy these tickets during Extra Magic Time but we didn’t know this then and it meant we were stuck in a long queue to buy the ticket and to get back in but it’s definitely worth noting that the ticket office is open during Extra Magic Time. Before Molly got into the park, all three of us had been trying at 9.45am to get a slot t

Can you think of anything more iconic than travelling to Paris to see Mamma Mia on stage? Okay, probably watching it in Greece but this was definitely up there in iconic moments in my life that I’ll remember forever. If you know me, you’ll know how much I love going to the theatre and also how much I love visiting Disneyland Paris during Halloween season, so the fact that one of my favourite musicals starring two of my favourite people was playing in Paris during October seemed too perfect. So, thanks to cheap Eurostar tickets and our annual passes, Jade and I – along with our friend, Molly – managed to book a three-day trip to Paris and Disney, with a Saturday night visit to La Seine Musicale to see Mamma Mia. We travelled from London St Pancras on Saturday (13 th October) morning and by midday we were at Paris Gare Du Nord station. We decided that we’d dedicate this day to exploring Paris and seeing as many things as we could before we had to head to the theatre. So, eve
