Disneyland Paris!

Me and Ceele in front of Thunder Mountain! (It was so much fun! The actual "mountain" was on an island in the middle of this lake, so to get to it, the ride shot under the lake and came out on the island! So fun!!)
The castle!

The maze that was closed :(

Ceele and I. This was one of our many times on Space Mountain! (It was so much more intense! It shot you up into the dark and had corkscrews and loops!)

During our stressful time in Paris, we got to see Notre Dame!

Since we had the field trip on Friday we couldn't do any big weekend traveling so we decided to take a day trip to Paris and go to Disneyland. Disneyland closes at 10pm and the last train going back to Lausanne left at 5pm. So we spent the night in Paris and planned on catching the 8am train back to Lausanne on Sunday morning. We spent all day Saturday from opening to closing at Disneyland. It was so much fun, and almost exactly like the Disneyland in Anaheim, except for the rides are so much more intense. We rode Space Mountain about 10 times and Thunder Mountain was just as fun. It was raining all day! But it was still so much fun! It reminded me of how much fun I had the first time I went to Disneyland Paris with my family. One very distinct memory I have of the park was this giant Alice and Wonderland maze that had this giant Queen of Hearts that was around one of the corners and she would jump up and yell when you ran around teh corner. I remember it scaring the life out of me and my sister. So I was looking foward to going in it again this trip, but when we got there it was closed. I was so disappointed but I took a picture of the outside for my sister! On Sunday morning we woke up early to catch the metro to the train station and then the train back to Lausanne. BUT, while on the metro, I realized that I left my phone in the hotel room so Ceele and I had to jump off and catch the metro back to the hotel. Ceele waited in the station until I got back and we caught the next metro to meet our other 2 friends at the train station. Our train left at 7:58 and we were going to have about 2 minutes to spare to run through the station and make it on our train. But with our luck the metro broke down in the middle of a tunnel for about 3 minutes and we missed our train. We ran up to the platform as the train was pulling away. I could have literally reached out and touched it, but we were about 10 seconds too late. To make things worse, that was the only train going back to Lausanne on Sunday. So every way we tried to get back home didn't work out and it looked like we were going to have to spend the night in Paris, with mid-terms the next morning. After 9 hours of trying to get back home we finally found a whack route back to Lausanne on a train where we had to switch 4 times. 18 hours later, we got back to Lausanne at 1am and had to study for our mid-term the next day. Little did we know that going to Disneyland for one day could cause so much drama. But while stuck in Paris we tried to make the best of it and walked down to the Notre Dame and took some pictures before catching our train. Even though it wasn’t the best circumstances, I still love Paris!!
