Two weeks ago, Aurelie and Romain told us about their weekend in Disneyland Paris and the new show Disney Dreams when the park is closing for the night. I was so impressed that I convinced Wolfram to drop the luggage after the flight from Stuttgart and rush to the park for the evening.
After a bit of traffic jam on the way back from the airport (Thank you Yann for driving) and a quick change of clothes and shoes, we were on our way to the park.
This trip to Disneyland was sadly disappointing this time. The magic of Disney did not work as well as usual (and it's been 20 years that I visit the park ... time is flying). Several of the attractions were not working which is even more frustrating when you are there for only a few hours. Even more when one of them is "It's a small world".
The mining train was first not working, then re-opened. We queued for 35min which is not that bad especially because we were smart enough to use the second row that nobody was using. We enjoyed the ride until the last part in the mine. BUT then it stopped. We actually got stuck into the dark mine with the brand new fake bats shining on top of us. We ended up being evacuated on foot. I've done this attraction probably 20 times, but this time was the first time I finished on foot.
"It's a small world" was not working when we arrived there at 10:40 and we were told to come back later which was not possible as it turned out that Fantasyland was closing at 10:45 due to the show. Sadly we were given the wrong info which didn't make us happy. Even more because Disneyland without It's a small world is not Disneyland.
"Buzz Lightyear" stopped at some point as well. But that was ok because we could keep on shooting and I scored my best ever. I asked Wolfram to take a picture because no one would believe I scored 78500 points at Buzz.
Despite all of this, the show was worth the trip. It's simply incredible how they managed to create whole show projected on the castle or water wall. It looks like some parts are moving. Here is a video of the show from YouTube. It gives an idea but it's even more powerful when live.

And we beautifully planned a kiss at the photo point of the Pirates of the Caribbean!
