Category Best of.., Disneyland Paris

Waking up at 4am is more easy than I thought it would of been. I somehow managed to get sleep early last night which meant that I have had the same amount of sleep that I normally have. Still I thought I would oversleep the alarm as I normally get up at 10amish.

I was one of the first people at the meeting point at the college. Richard and Bradley beated me though. Richard was in the dry as it was raining but it took me afew moments to realize where he was. Everyone soon followed after me. The A level people wasn’t that social and didn’t mix with the us much. The coach arrived and I was the first person the hand my bag over. I don’t aim to be the first, it just ends up being that way. Didn’t take long to get to London and I wondered about with the group which ended up sitting on the metal seat that felt like that they were frozen cold.

Disneyland Paris stationGetting checked in wasn’t bad but it took me along time to get stuff outta my pockets which annoyed peps behind me in the line. When we was in the seating area I took the camera off my neck as it was heavy and I was so tried that I left it behind. However luckily others noticed this in the group and picked it up for me. I felt well embarrassed about that.

Once we got in the Eurostar train itself, it looked well dated inside with the brownish colours and I would thought they would of tarted it up abit. I didn’t think about getting a magazine to read on board the train and wish I did. Everyone ears was popping thoughout the jounary which I didn’t expect to happen but I suppose it made sense as the channel was on top of us.

When we arrived into Disneyland Paris, we checked our bags into the storage and went into the main park with the group being fellow people on my course and Richard. Richard set a misson for Ryan which he set for his older bother which did the trip last year. The mission was to go on the rollarcoaster starting from the bottom being that Cowboy one to Space mountain being the top.

At lunchtime, I ended up eating in pizza place. It was really bad as the pizza wasn’t precut and you had to use these plastic knife and folk with a cardboard box. I just ended up using my hand completely and didn’t eat all of it. I felt well ill afterwards.

Over the morning and after lunch I done most of the roller-coasters which was really good . It was quick it wasn’t raining but as it was cold, the parks are not that busy. I don’t mind going to theme parks when it cold at all. I rather it be cold then hanging ages outside sweating.

Disney Village at night.In the afternoon we was let into the rooms. I had Sam and Adam in my room and I was secretly happy that I didn’t have anyone I didn’t get on in the room. It was good that everyone a key card to get in to the room meaning that you didnt have to stick together all the time.

In the evening I went into the village with Dan, Sam and Callium which was alright. Ended up eating McDonald’s which was strange seeing how they adapt the menu for the country. Thankfully they had a picture of what I wanted on the counter and I just pointed then paid. On the way back to the bus, I rung my mom and Keane started playing which was ironic as my mom loves them.

At night time, people just went to bed and didn’t piss around much. I woke up loads thoughout the night though and didn’t get a good rest.

The replacement laptop charger is arriving tomorrow. Only problem about this is that I won’t be in to collect it from the UPS guy. I like how speedy Dell was on getting it to me but its shame they couldn’t waited to a day to send it. They will try again on Wednesday if I am to believe the email which is good. I don’t know if they looked at the laptop yet but the guy on the phone said it would be back within 4 days which means it will arrive when I’m in Disney. Fantastic, my dad will be too keen and fiddle with it meaning he mess up the first boot setup thing.

ZoomI helped out interviewing a assietent director today which meant I held a Zoom in the middle of the table cause the stand didn’t work. It was for the interview feature of the radio show I shall be doing when I’m back from Disneyland. I’ll need to make sure I’ve done all the paperwork and check with the others.

I am really excited about going to Disneyland Paris now. My bag is all packed with the new clothing I got because the other stuff I already had didn’t have the right pockets to keep my valuables such as my mobile phone or wallet in if I go on a roller-coaster or to keep the pickpockets out. I just hope the weather won’t drench me too much in France though I do realise that it won’t be hot. I love trains (not as sad as a train-spotter), so catching the Eurostar is a whole excitement in it self. :P

Oh, I nearly forgot: Please do the latest poll in the sidebar.. I just wondered how many of my readers are into theme parks.

I’m a really great day today. Its still Spring but you wouldnt be blamed for thinking that its midway though summer as it reached 27 degrees today. I’m not one enjoy hot weather as my fair skin burns quite easily, so I’m forced to apply sun cream quite often. When I got out of the huts from my last lesson of the day, I was blinded by the amount of light.

My wallet is going to upset with me. I’ve been draining the amount of money I have by going to places like theme parks which seem like monthly. I think that I fund the munchbox at my school as I buy something from it daily. I was upset that they have given up with the microwave garlic bread idea as I really liked them. :|

I had a mega happiness boost from going to Ultimate Events over the weekend, which I will blog about once I can be brothered. I didn’t get to go on many rides though due to the mad road traffic and busyness of the park. I really enjoyed myself though talking to people and dancing madly in the concert. This will embarrass me if they ever show the shots of me on God Tv. I never watched God tv.

I just noticed that its midnight. Must go to sleep.. Sleeping (well more like lying at..) at David house has really messed with my body clock. I’m sure it will sort itself out soon enough!
