As I mentioned, the kids would be richly rewarded for their superb abilities to manage our usual crazy sightseeing schedules, and, indeed, they were. Our third day in Paris was at Disneyland Paris--a 1ish hour train ride (including an unscheduled delay at one stop) out of the city. We came prepared with lanyards and pins-the souvenir from a trip to Disneyworld in Florida a few years ago, and prepared for a day of roller coasters and fun.
Disneyland was well decorated for fall--I loved all the big pumpkins everywhere.
The kids eagerly rode the Teacups, Star Wars, Space Mountain Mission 2, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, It's a Small World, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Carousel.

We also enjoyed some storybook walk through adventures that were cleverly put together. Alice in Wonderland was a masterfully created maze complete with an evil queen ready to chop off our heads.
We took in a fun Halloween show with Mickey and all his friends.
The Parade was beautiful, with almost all of our favorite movies and characters...
although Riley thought it was odd that the Disneyland Parade in Paris did NOT include the Parisian Princess, Belle (her favorite, since Belle reads almost as much as Riley).
We also spent a few minutes in photo-ops with some of the Disney greats
At the end of the day, the lights were coming on and we were exhausted. After a little more shopping, and a quick dinner at McDonalds (yup) we were on our way back to Paris.
A good day.
