Sorry for the 3 day delay in finishing this Day Two trip report. The work trip on top issues downloading photos to photobucket seem to be hindering my ability to keep this going as fast as I would like.
When we last left off, we had left Disneyland for the Walt Disney Studios around 1630 with a park closing time of 1800. On the way, we went into the Disneyland Hotel to check out the lobby. I thought we took more photo's then one, but I guess not. The hotel is nice, not as good as the Grand at WDW, but very nice nonetheless.
Here is a pic from the upper lobby (bar area) looking at Main Street.
Like DL in SoCal, the parks are close by, and don't require you to leave the post bag check area.
After the tunstiles, their "Main Street" is inside one large soundstage. It did not feel as cheap or tacky as you would think. Mostly fast food locations with some gifts.
We did not take anymore photos this day at the parks. We were now up for 32 hours and did not have the energy to stop and take a picture. We did a marathon of attractions before the park closed, incuding the Slinky Dog attraction in Toy Story Land (10 min wait, carnival type ride, well themed), RC Racer, (15 min wait, basic small U shaped coaster, TONS of fun though), the Tower of Terror, no wait, very similar to DL's version, lots of fun, one of my top 5 at DLP, Rock n Rollar Coaster (no wait, like WDW BUT not as good, more on that below), and finally, Cinamagique. (Sp?)
Considering we only went to this park to do some minor stuff, and got a few of the big heavy hitters done (ToT, RnRC, Cinamagique and RC Racer), we were set up well for the rest of the trip, not having to spend that much more time at this park, giving us more for DL and Paris itself.
RnRC was the same layout, yet the back ground story was not the same as WDW. At first, I thought I would like this, but the "other story" was confusing. I still don't get it. The ride itself was the same as WDW, so no need to go into detail there.
Cinamagique was a great show, and we did at at 1730, so it would be the last attraction of the day. Tiredness finally caught up to us, and as we where in a warm, dark, comfy theater for 30 mins, it was no surprise we fell asleep by the end of the show. The part we did see was a great show, but not seeing the entire thing (we did not get back to it again) I won't pretend to try to retell the story.
OK, so with the park now closed, and DL closing in a hour, we were getting hungry and tired, so we took the train back to our hotel, got our room, unpacked, and went for dinner at the hotel resturaunt. (An pub with a patio, very nice, with a basic menu)
The room was the biggest of the 4 we would have.
One complaint. No shower curtain. As much as you try, you can not not get the entire floor wet.
No AC, but the windows opened to this view.
We had a beer (1665 was the brand, pretty good) and a burger (not bad at all) and where passed out for the night by 2000.
Ok, Day two done.
Day Three is DL and then Studios. Will get it up ASAP. Thanks for reading!
