Disneyland Paris: Day 5

Sunday was kind of a quiet day.  We got up early to go to breakfast because we had plans to go into Paris for the day and do some sightseeing, but the weather was pretty awful in the morning, so we decided to change our plans and just hang out at our hotel.  We also had plans to spend a day visiting the Palace of Versailles, and those plans were scrapped when we missed our first flight to Paris on Tuesday. We will have to see that on another trip!

The rain settled down somewhat, so we decided to head over to Walt Disney Studios around lunch time.  We rode Ratatouille and Slinky, and hoped to ride Tower of Terror, but the wait was 45 minutes and it had begun raining again, so we gave up on that idea and instead went to Disney Village to get some lunch at Earl of Sandwich.  On our way back to the hotel, we stopped at the train station to buy tickets for our trip back to the airport the next day.

There was another break in the weather a while later, and we took advantage of it to go back to Disneyland.  We rode Mad Hatter's Tea Cups and were about to go through Alice's Curious Labyrinth when the skies opened up and we had to take cover because it began hailing!  Yes!  HAIL!  How crazy!!!  In our many decades of visiting Disney Parks, never before have we experienced hail!  We hid along with some other people under a large hedge until it passed.  Quite the experience!  Once that ended, the skies cleared for good, and the rest of the afternoon and evening were cold, but dry!

We stopped off back at the hotel to dry off and warm up for a bit, then went back to Walt Disney Studios for the nighttime holiday show, "Goofy's Incredible Christmas!"  There were impressive projections on Tower of Terror, fireworks, lasers, and an accompanying stage show with characters.  It was super cute and also extremely impressive from a technological standpoint.  Definitely one of the highlights of the trip!

Also learned a fun fact…Goofy's name in French is Dingo!  I don't know why I find that sooooo hilarious, but I laugh whenever I think about it!

We had a late dinner at Five Guys in Disney Village before packing for our trip home, and then we ended our last night back at Café Fantasia.  So perfect!
