My last memory of the park was buying a Barney toy, so I was excited to go back. We bought tickets for both parks, really excited to experience everything. Disneyland Paris opened in 1992, originally known as Euro Disney Resort. The park faced several challenges in its early years, including financial difficulties and cultural differences between American Disney traditions and European expectations. However, it gradually overcame these hurdles and rebranded to Disneyland Paris in 1994. Today, it has become a beloved destination for millions of visitors, blending the magical world of Disney with the enchanting atmosphere of Paris. The resort includes two theme parks: Disneyland Park, with its classic Disney attractions and Sleeping Beauty Castle, and Walt Disney Studios Park, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at movie magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"118\"  src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/A2ED1374-DC3A-459C-AB30-96E4EC109F23-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/A2ED1374-DC3A-459C-AB30-96E4EC109F23-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/A2ED1374-DC3A-459C-AB30-96E4EC109F23-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/A2ED1374-DC3A-459C-AB30-96E4EC109F23-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/A2ED1374-DC3A-459C-AB30-96E4EC109F23-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/A2ED1374-DC3A-459C-AB30-96E4EC109F23-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/A2ED1374-DC3A-459C-AB30-96E4EC109F23.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">     When we got there, we were met with some long ride lines. However, we used the single rider line at times to save time and managed to go on many rides. The best ride of the day was the Tower of Terror. The line was short, and the ride was long and thrilling. The drops were intense, and the atmosphere was spooky and fun, with eerie music and ghostly effects adding to the excitement. We also enjoyed the twists and turns of Space Mountain, which took us on a high-speed journey through space, and the excitement of Thunder Mountain, where we sped through a rocky mountain landscape on a runaway mine train. Each ride brought its own unique thrill, making the waits worthwhile.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"119\"  src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/820CE3CB-7628-462A-9985-F8B4D0D2693B-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/820CE3CB-7628-462A-9985-F8B4D0D2693B-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/820CE3CB-7628-462A-9985-F8B4D0D2693B-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/820CE3CB-7628-462A-9985-F8B4D0D2693B-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/820CE3CB-7628-462A-9985-F8B4D0D2693B-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/820CE3CB-7628-462A-9985-F8B4D0D2693B-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/820CE3CB-7628-462A-9985-F8B4D0D2693B.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>     Food played a big part in our day. I started with some gummies and a bottle of water to keep my energy up. As the day went on, I got hungry again and decided to try three pork egg rolls, which were delicious and filled with pork and vegetables. I also treated myself to a classic Mickey-shaped ice cream, which was a sweet and nostalgic treat. For dinner, we chose the Rainforest Cafe, a restaurant with a cool jungle theme complete with animatronic animals and tropical decor. I had a juicy burger, crispy fries, and a refreshing pina colada. The lively atmosphere of the cafe, with its rainforest sounds and occasional thunderstorms, made our meal even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" data-id=\"120\"  src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/4F281427-57CF-4491-B63B-D887B3FB3DA6_1_201_a-1024x506.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/4F281427-57CF-4491-B63B-D887B3FB3DA6_1_201_a-1024x506.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/4F281427-57CF-4491-B63B-D887B3FB3DA6_1_201_a-300x148.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/4F281427-57CF-4491-B63B-D887B3FB3DA6_1_201_a-768x379.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/4F281427-57CF-4491-B63B-D887B3FB3DA6_1_201_a-500x247.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/4F281427-57CF-4491-B63B-D887B3FB3DA6_1_201_a.jpeg 1284w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">In the afternoon, it suddenly started raining heavily. Fortunately, we were under a roof just as the rain began, so we stayed dry as we enjoyed our mickey ice cream. The rain didn&#8217;t ruin our day; instead, it allowed us to take our time and enjoy the indoor rides and attractions. We explored the covered areas of the park, including the It&#8217;s a Small World ride  with the surprisingly catchy song and the Pirates of the Caribbean, which took us on a daring adventure through pirate-infested waters. The rain added a cozy element to our day, allowing us to appreciate the detailed theming of the indoor attractions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"121\"  src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/F1396332-E016-443D-BEBE-88EDC26B56E3-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/F1396332-E016-443D-BEBE-88EDC26B56E3-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/F1396332-E016-443D-BEBE-88EDC26B56E3-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/F1396332-E016-443D-BEBE-88EDC26B56E3-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/F1396332-E016-443D-BEBE-88EDC26B56E3-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/F1396332-E016-443D-BEBE-88EDC26B56E3-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/paris-spring-2024-session1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2024\/05\/F1396332-E016-443D-BEBE-88EDC26B56E3.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Overall, our day at Disneyland Paris was fantastic.
