Yesterday, we discussed general impressions about Disneyland Paris (DLP). Today, we’re going into more detail about the rides at DLP.
My favorite thing about Disneyland Paris is that you can go into Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. It is not just a facade like in Magic Kingdom in Orlando. There is magnificent stain glass windows concerning the major scenes in the movie, and you can see Maleficent as a dragon underneath.

Having lived in Orlando for over 7 years, Mr. Selfish and I spent many a days at Disney World. We love all four parks and went quite frequently since most of the time we had some sort of annual or seasonal pass. Disney World is definitely one of the main things that we miss from Orlando, so we decided to go to all of the other Disney parks in the world during our selfish year.
I will review Disneyland Paris (DLP) in two posts. This first post will discuss the general layout of DLP and provide overall impressions. The next post will focus on the individual rides.
I loved all of the Halloween decorations at DLP. Everything was very festive and decorated perfectly for family fun.

Mr. Selfish and I are currently loving our little apartment in Paris. But as is our nature, we want to do a few day trips from Paris while we are here. Do you have any suggestions for us? We’re currently looking at the following possibilities:
1. Versailles – In 1682, Louis XIV moved from Paris to the Palace at Versailles. It is opulent and beautiful. The last time I went, it was the middle of winter, so none of the fountains were turned on and the gardens were mostly brown. I want to experience Versailles in the autumn.
2. Giverny is where Monet painted his water lillies. Monet moved to Giverny in 1883 with his family, including his second wife and 8 children, living and painting there until his death in 1926.
