  What a day! Fabulous weather and a real surprise - a special offer meant we had access to both parks; Disney and Disney Studios!!

We managed the old favourites Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

• Day 2 in Paris!

  Wed 24 May 2017
  The day began swimmingly in Aquaboulevard! Some serious slides, wave makers and races down the flumes. No better place to have lunch then but McDonalds. A much more cultured afternoon was spent in the Louvre viewing the Mona Lisa - she sits behind bullet proof glass and blast walls and yes..... She's still smiling and watching you all the way....!  A filling tea was eaten in Flunch with a number of ice creams to follow and then it was onto the river Seine! On a most beautiful balmy evening in Paris we then enjoyed our river cruise complete with Florian our guide! Everyone enjoyed the ride and waved continuously at the numerous Parisians who lined the Seine enjoying their picnics. Tonight just back at the hotel there's time to catch the second half of Ajax v Man U! All hoping for a Man U win! Aghh!!!

  

• First Day In Sunny Paris!,

  Tue 23 May 2017
