To put this in perspective, my idea of a good time in the recent past has included attending a double feature of The Road and Antichrist, in which the first movie set in the post-apocalyptic world about a father and son resisting the urge to become cannibals like everyone else in the country as they futilely search for safety was, to me, the cheerful, uplifting film between the two. It’s the fact that the whole thing feels so… innocently happy. It’s not just the sets, which for ten minutes you float by the same candy-colored scenes of multi-ethnic children joined in song. It’s not just the song, which repeats the same chords over and over and over and won’t leave your head afterward no matter what you try. The Happiest Ride on Earth, “it’s a small world”. Already did Peter Pan two days ago, which leaves me with… oh, dear God, no. Let me check my park guide to see what it could be… it’s not the Snow White or Pinocchio rides, although those need to be done as well. There was still one major dark ride in the park I had not been on the first day and it was located in Fantasyland. I quickly found the fastest route to the Big Thunder Mountain fast pass ticket dispensers, and then hopped aboard the Disneyland Railroad from the Frontierland depot to take me back to Fantasyland to kill the time before my fast pass return time was ready. But still, three days at Disney was probably overdoing it…Īfter wrapping up a brief two hours spent in the Walt Disney Studios Park getting caught up on some of the things I missed out on the day prior, I made my way to the entrance of Disneyland by noon. Meanwhile Disney I wanted to make sure I would have ample time to explore every nook and cranny and get so many re-rides on the coasters until I was sick of them that I would thereafter have absolutely no motivation to ever return ever again. Then plans changed and after deciding I needed to buy my tickets at the Disney Store on the Champs-Élysées for the best discount and that I could make a stop to try out Jardin d’Acclimatation’s three coasters, I said, “alright, I’ll spend a day in Paris, too.” Just to get a taste of the city to motivate me even more to return one day.
when Parc Astérix and Parc Saint Paul would be open). Now to justify this slightly, originally I had been planning to only see Disneyland over a three-day weekend and not even step foot inside the city, which I wanted to save for another time (i.e. That is not an itinerary one should admit to other people when they ask about how you’ll be allocating your time during your four days in Paris.

By comparison, I only allotted myself one full day to see Paris, and yet for some reason I felt three would be needed to fully see Disney. Three days at Disney was probably overdoing it.
