The 14-day europe trip ended with one full day at Disneyland, Paris. Do you know how many disneyland theme parks are there in this globe? I made a quick search from the Internet and found this answer:
Disneyland Resort in Anaheim California.
Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando Florida.
Tokyo Disney Resort, Tokyo.
Disneyland Resort Paris, Paris. (Formerly EURO-Disney)
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, Hong Kong.
Well, I have visited two one them, Hong Kong and Paris. I have three more to go.
I went to Hong Kong Disneyland in 2007, the newest Disneyland on earth. In 2010, I went to the Paris one, which is larger, and obviously looks older. There are two parks in Paris Disneyland, The Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios. The former is home to the classic Disney characters set in 5 magical lands, where fairytales really do come true. The latter is the world of cinema and television comes to life. It was a regret that we only bought the Disneyland Park, missing the chances to experience the world of cinema.
One thing I like here was the fast pass. It saved our time on lining up for a queue. It's a ticket that holds your place in line for a ride. It lets you leave and do whatever you want and then get back in line when you are closer to getting on.
There are other things to know about a FastPass. First it is free and only certain rides offer fast passes. It expires at the end of the day and you can't run around and get all your FastPasses at the same time. Your first FastPass tells you when you're allowed to get another one.
Here is how it works:
1.Find the FastPass ticket machine near the line for your ride.
2.Insert your Disneyland admission ticket
3.Grab the FastPass that comes out (and your admission ticket). Keep it!
4.Look at the time printed on the FastPass. You can leave now but come back after the time shown on your ticket.
For instance, if it's now 11am, the FastPass may say "Return between 12:30-1:30". This means you can go, and then come back anytime after 12:30 and get in the special shorter FastPass line anytime within that hour. You'll stand in that line for about 5minutes, maybe 15 if it's hugely crowded that day. I am not too sure if this fast pass was offered in Hong Kong Disneyland four years ago.

The first thing we did once we reach there was to capture a photo together with the entrance. And then the very first thing we did once we entered into the park was to quueu up in order to take a picture with Mickey. This was ridiculous as it took us around an hour just to take a picture and a signature which was not from the true Mickey.
With the limited time spent there, we must be smart enough to choose the best places to visit/best activities to do.

And I was satisfied that we were able to finish almost all the items in our checklist, including the Disney Characters Demonstration and It's a small small world.
Indeed, I never expect It's a small small world was so enjoyable. I loved the decorations so much that they gave a sense of fantasy to me. We grabbed the last half an hour to visit this before we left.
