It was even better because normally a ticket to Disney by train is sort of expensive, but- well, it's not a good thing, per se- Paris has a lot of pollution. Some days it gets so bad that the city declares public transportation free to encourage people not to drive their cars. Today was one of those days, so we got free transport all day.
It was really cold all day, I'm not gonna lie. It was freezing.
They had just gotten a Ratatouille ride and everyone was all excited for it. We (me, Garance, and Capucine) went on a lot of rides as single riders so we didn't have nearly as long of waits. Garance says that French people generally like Rataouille, but they all know that's nothing what Paris is like. It's like a romanticized, disney version, kinda like all the movies about New York in America. They had all these buildings up around it to resemble the Paris in the movie.
As we were waiting, we watched a worked sweeping up the cigarette butts and Garance laughed. "If they want this to really be like Paris," she said, "they would leave them."
They were doing all this Spring Festival stuff. It would have been nicer if it wasn't freaking freezing.
(By the way, Garance and Capucine kept telling me I had an "American smile" when we took photos. "The colgate smile," they said. "Every photo you are like…this smile. The French do not smile for the photos. Not like that." I tried to look less "American" and they laughed. "You are going to look American. You are American.")
The disney tower had "Be Our Guest" and the plates all assembled the Eiffel tower. Then during a song from the Hunchback of Notre Damn, the castle became Notre Dame and it was just really awesome.
Garance had been sick the other day and during the course of screaming as we rode the Tower of Terror like three times (It's Garance and Capucine's favorite) she completely lost her voice, so it was a good time to end.
