25 Questions Asked During A Weekend At Disneyland Paris

Having grown up in California, I'm no stranger to Disney parks, but during my time at Disneyland Paris I was full of questions.

I'm definitely used to park maintenance as a frequent Disneyland visitor. But compared to other parks it seemed to me that a disproportionately high percentage of the major rides, restaurants, and even random areas at Disneyland Paris were closed for maintenance. I was especially bothered by the fact that the two largest attractions in Discoveryland were both closed at the same time.

Needless to say between the rain and ride closures, the trip to Disneyland Paris was definitely not starting off on a good foot.

Um, because the park is located in France. Duh.

Going to Disneyland Paris as someone who only speaks English wasn't generally that confusing. Most signs had text in both French and English, and the staff also seemed to speak multiple languages. However, there were definitely instances where the language barrier got the best of me. Like while on Star Tours, when C-3PO and the robot guiding the tour both spoke in French only. It made for a somewhat confusing motion ride.

Even though I had to navigate it in the rain, there's no denying this hedge maze that's unique to Disneyland Paris was pretty fun!

Forty-one, which is a little smaller than the 42 I usually wear in European footwear, but I was in desperate need of water-resistant shoes.

It was the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and OMG was it fun. So much better than the Disneyland California ride, which has been overtaken with characters from the movies.

According to their website smoking is allowed in designated smoking areas. But people pretty much smoke wherever the hell they want to, even crowded lines. Kinda rude IMO, but the attitude toward smoking is definitely pretty lax in Disneyland Paris.
