Continuing where I left off..
You have no idea how glad I was once it was time to get out of bed and perform our morning prayer (Subuh). Because along come Subuh, means it's time to get ready afterwards and I no longer have to try to sleep.
After we were all ready we went down for breakfast and by 9.20AM we were already at the park, only to find out that the parks weren't open yet -___-' So there we were left to wait for 40 minutes outdoor with the cold morning wind. With the three hours of sleep I got between 9PM til 12AM last night, safe to say, I wasn't a happy camper.
But whatever. What do girls do to kill time? You take pictures! & More pictures..
We were blessed with a beautiful morning sun that day. In fact, we were blessed with such a beautiful weather that day. Alhamdulillah, thank You :)
Cons of being the camera woman: Nobody wanna take a picture with me... :(
Once the parked opened, I swear Banana was just zoomed her way inside with the park's map. She decided where we're going, which ride we're going on first and yadaayadaayadaa. Basically, she was our tour guide for the entire trip.
We went on all the marked big attractions of the park such as Space Mountain at Frontier Land, Big Mountain roller coaster & the Haunted Mansion ride in Adventure Land, we also met Rapunzel at the Princess Pavilion in Fantasyland. Now that's a funny story.. See, we thought we can meet ALL the princesses at the Pavilion, but turns out you get to meet only ONE princess per queue and you're not allowed to choose your princess. So there we, actually come to think of it, just Banana really, wishing that it wouldn't be Snow White because she hates Snow White. I was hoping to meet Queen Elsa but then her official coronation hasn't taken place yet, so that won't never happen for now. And they don't consider Mulan as a classic "princess", so my next best hope was Rapunzel, AND THANK GOD IT WAS RAPUNZEL!
Anyways, pictures shall do the talking from now on..
Our first picture inside the park.
Can you find Banana & Ash? I swear they just left me behind with my camera most of the time -__-'
But look at the beautiful sight :')
And thank God for the beautiful blue sky that helps make the entire place look more picturesque than it already is.
WE ARE IN DISNEYLAND!!!!!
I would just like to thank my father and my mother for finally letting me go away on an international trip with my friends.
And then of course, the photo session of in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle began..
What... The last time I was in Disneyland Paris my mother put me in some purple sweater and yellow pants okay! Let me have as many pictures of me in Disneyland with less embarrassing clothes!
We're in Frontier Land!
The Orbitron and the Space Mountain ride in the background.
The Space Mountain was our first ride of the trip.
Let me tell you something. Banana & I were travelling with two scatty cats that are terrified of roller coaster. How we got them to ride all the roller coasters with us involved a lot of lying (on Banana's behalf) and using kids as props.
Example:
"Oh come on guys! Even the kid who's half your height is going on this! You can do this!"
or
"The minimum height requirement is 120cm, that's not that tall.. You can do this!"
or literally just talking to random kids in the queue with us..
Any horror stories from our past experience at Disneyland with our respective families must not be shared before the ride, but you can always tell them after the ride. Or Banana would alter the truth of the story.. By hook or by crook, they must get on the roller coasters with us :p
And the results were simply beautiful.. :")
Taken during the Space Mountain ride.
Til now we still laugh uncontrollably whenever we look at this picture. Look at the sheer joy in Banana's face and the fear in Ash's... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :') I've said this once, I'll say it again, one of my biggest regret of this trip was not getting this in hard copy for my photo album (yes I actually got myself a photo album).
Because the two chickens refused to do Space Mountain again, we proceeded to Adventure Land for the Big Mountain & Haunted Mansion rides.
Just like how Banana has an attachment with Pocahontas, me with Mulan, Shrimpy has a strong attachment with Aladdin/Jasmine. So this was her side.
We met Hook!
After watching OUAT, I forgot the existence of this version of Hook..
Hook's ship and Skull Rock.
The Big Mountain Ride. Or Ash would like to call it, "The Goat Ride" because she found a goat as one of the props for the ride..
Hey.. At least she's smiling for this one.. But Raema still won't open her eyes -___-' She didn't open her eyes for ANY rides..
The Haunted Mansion.
In front of the Haunted Mansion.
We met Chip & Dale!
The guy who took this photo for us was actually a very handsome guy.. Mummy! Can I work at Disneyland for a year pleaseeeeeeeee! I can be their Mulan!
King Louis of Jungle Book!
Kaa from Jungle Book and Zazu from Lion King at Adventure Land.
The entrance to Fantasy Land from Adventure Land.
Look who we met upon entering Fantasy Land.. AND THEY'RE HOLDING HANDS!!!! :")
Mickey & Minnie balloons. I swear I really wanted one but then that'll be a super waste of money & I'm on a budget. :( So gambar pun boleh lah..
The famous Dumbo ride! I have a picture with my mother in this ride as a child :") & I used to think it was the most fun thing ever, easily my favourite ride as a child.
Alice & The Mad Hatter.
Shrimpy at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
Ahhh... I have a picture of little me in the Queen of Heart's seat too.. If only I can magically transport the photo from Malaysia.. Also just made a realisation, this is actually my THIRD Disneyland Paris trip, not second because I was I distinctively remember wearing a black sweater on this seat and an even tinier me compared to the me in the purple sweater. Enough Paris Disneyland, bring me to America somebodyyyyy :"(
Rapunzel (who got slapped my Banana, accidentally of course :P)
She was so sweet and lovely, she called all of us "princesses" and had conversation with us and called each of us Princess with our names. She even asked me if I was a princess too because of my headband :')
I WANNA WORK IN DISNEYLAND. I WANNA MAKE PEOPLE'S DAY!
Tweedle-Dee. Tweedle-Dum was busy taking photos with other people.
Seriously when you see a character walking, they just get swamped by people man.. So much love for them!
We took a car trip from Sleeping Beauty's castle to Mainstreet USA when we wanted to go back to the hotel to pray.
But then we bumped into Goofy, and omg guys!!!!!!! Let me tell you something.. The reason why I wanna work in Disneyland is not because it's the happiest place on Earth, it's because the joy you get to spread to other people.
See, when we were queuing to take photo with Goofy, there was this little girl, who just really can't wait to take photo with Goofy. She just looked sooooo happy and would go up to Goofy and touch him everytime someone else is done with their photos. When it was finally her turn, she actually ran to Goofy and HUGGED him and he fell down because of the hug. The girl was SOOOOOO happy, she wouldn't let go of Goofy. She took her photo and then continued hugging him too. Nobody dared to pull her away, everybody was just happy to let her be because seriously, she was just THAT excited to see Goofy. Eventually her Mum said it was time to go and before she left Goofy, she gave him a kiss.. :")
IT WAS SO DAMN BLOODY BEAUTIFUL TO SEE OKAY!
& This is just Goofy. God knows what's her reaction when she meets Mickey or even the Princesses.. Haih, my heart :")
Minnie :) Minnie was really excited to see us with bows.. No surprise there :p
Note: My "Minnie Mouse" headband got to go to Disneyland and meet Minnie Mouse! & You people ask when will I ever wear it.. :p
Then it was time for the parade! It was beautiful to see some of my favourite characters in person :")
Video of the parade is uploading. Will post it here later so you guys can feel the magic too! :)
After that I got too cold (because the sun set already) to stay for the magical fireworks show. Sokay, insyAllah I will come back to Disneyland to catch it, aminnnnnn. Went back to the hotel and joined Ash (who left much earlier) and "melted" myself in our room before heading of to bed really early (the 3 of them were still talking when I was already tucked in). Oh yeah, I also slept on the floor because damn my back was killing me.
