My Partner John and I had such a wonderful time at the Parks in 2012. It’s one of those trips that stick with you for the rest of your life. There’s something pure about Disneyland Paris and it’s gorgeous Sleeping Beauty Castle. It’s unmatched at any other Disney Park in the world, and it’s what makes this Resort so special and a must-visit.
In episode 3 of “The Imagineering Story” on Disney+ features Disneyland Paris (aka Euro Disneyland when it first opened). This reminded us of our trip to France and I came back to revisit this and update it.
Thoughts in 2019 on Disneyland Paris
Looking back on this trip to Disneyland Paris, I am so glad I took the time years ago to write out about our trip. At the time, it was quite the gruelling task, but I’m grateful that I wrote down everything. Being able to recall memories and view photos warms my heart and makes my heart flutter. If you’re on the fence about chronicling about your trips, do it. Not for anyone else but yourself, you never know when you’ll need it to look back on and reflect on a life well-lived.
It’s also fun to read and see how much my writing and storytelling has improved since I began blogging in 2009.
For more planning to Disneyland Paris, I recommend DisneyTouristBlog, Mouse Hacking, and DLPGuide.

[…] After that first trip, like many others, I instantly fell in love. I wasn’t a writer by trade, but I began to chronicle our Disney trips on a blog titled “Fat Hobbit.” Over the years, we traveled to Walt Disney World multiple times, as well as Disneyland Resort, and Disneyland Paris. […]
