Well... I am back in the states after an awesome trip to Europe including Dan and I's trip to Disneyland Paris.
We had a great time at DLP and got to see (and get pictures with) a few new characters as well as see the new Showtime Spectacular show which I think is much better than the It's Party Time show... I also like how some of the characters come down to interact with the fans when they weren't on stage, a nice added touch that DLP seems to be incorporating into more of their shows... hopefully this trend continues.
They also seemed to be putting out characters in town square fairly often. Most mornings right around official park opening most (if not all) the characters from the Character Express would come out and also there were some other times there would be characters out there... including later in the evening the one night the park was open late (well late for DLP).
Also a treat for me was seeing the park for the first time during "good" weather... really some of my other trips haven't been bad weather (last Oct was pretty nice) but this was the first time in the spring/summer and it was great to see the park in full bloom. Everything was beautiful with all the flowers and having leaves on all the trees really added something to the park. The only bad thing was in Fantasyland where they were refurbishing Dumbo so all the water was turned off.
Dan and I will be working on our pictures from this trip so look forward to lots of new DLP pictures over the next month as we frantically try to get them done before our next trip :D
Next trip: Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland in August! :D
