Disneyland Paris

Trav got us a smokin' deal to Disneyland Paris and we were able to go on two different days. It was Justus' first time (and Piper's, obviously!) and Trav and I hadn't been in years...so we were definitely excited!
Our first ride was Pirates of Caribbean, which we were sure Justus would love since he is all about water, boats and pirates, but we were wrong! I think he may be a little too young still to realize the difference between mechanical pirates shooting fake guns and real pirates shooting real guns. Woopsies! But he did love Star Tours and is now a huge Star Wars fan...
Teacups were also a fave. We figured out the 'baby switch' for all the rides, which meant one Trav would wait in line and ride with Justus while I waited with Piper, then when they got off I could go take Trav's place and ride again with Justus without having to wait in line. It's a good deal!
Disneyland Paris was small but still fun. Not quite the same as the ones in the U.S. - mainly because everything is in French! Ha ha!
It's a Small World was a highlight for Justus and Piper - they both loved it!
Justus wandering through the Alice in Wonderland Maze...
Riding the boat through Storybook Land...
Autopia - the ride Justus was looking forward to the most before we went. He was so excited to drive his own car!!
We only met a few characters...there weren't as many out and about. But Justus met Smee (from Peter Pan), he chased after Tigger as he was leaving, and he got some serious attention from Captain Jack Sparrow!
Another favorite for Justus, Buzz Lightyear.
We stayed until closing on both nights and this is the result...crashing hard on the train ride home!
