Disneyland Paris November 2018
We went on a college trip to Disneyland Paris for 4 days. We went to learn more about the park and how it works, from it’s day to day running’s to the overall management of the company.
On the first day we travelled from London to EuroDisney on the Eurostar train. We arrived and we trekked to the hotel and then in the evening we went out to see the fireworks. The following day the trip really began. We spent the day in the Magic Kingdom Park, starting by taking a walk up to the castle and exploring the Main Street. At first glance personally I thought the park was fairly dated and needs a bit of a face lift and some money. The castle is small and really needs a new coat of paint. When walking to and from each ride there are lots of overpriced dining options. I think one of the reasons the food is so expensive is because the park is not making enough money, you can tell this from the lack of energy in the surroundings. Also if people haven't brought in their own food then they have no option but to buy the food in the park. We were lucky to have fast passes and cut the cues despite there being few anyway because we visited in term time. Although it was term time the park was still fairly busy, which shows that it will continue to be a success but I do think it is the least popular of all the global parks. As we left we were waiting for the bus and we saw some lights on Tower Of Terror, and we realised they were mapping for the following days show. Another interesting thing is that Disney use chid friendly fireworks, which are much quieter than regular ones.
On the second day we went to Universal Studios and this showed even more of the face lift the park needs. Walkways need paint and the bathrooms need sorting. The rides are very good but again feel old. This may be due to the park having a lack of income and low down on the priority lists of the parks. We started to watch a show as we were walking and we notices that the lights were on, despite it being broad daylight, which could mean that the lights and sound are all just run the same whether it is evening or daytime.
