... other Magic Kingdoms, the park follows the standard hub and spoke design. There is a little show going on in a gazebo on Main Street. I recognize Mary Poppins and Burt, but they are performing in French so I keep going. I see they have out the main street transportation which I rarely see any more down in the Florida park. It brings back a bit of nostalgia of the early days in that park with my mom, dad, and 4 older siblings. I think that is part of ...

... Then to dinner, and as I was paying, a waitress gave us four Fast Pass admissions to Thunder Mountain around the corner that were good for another ten minutes. ... saved us a 1 hour line! So ... boom, boom, boom ... we knocked out like 75% of the main rides and attractions that were on our Must Do list! Poor Sam, just before dinner, he started complaining about his right leg hurting. He is a growing little guy, and it seems he has these growing pain shin splint ...

... are and I have always defended them, as every time I have ever been to France people have always been nice. Not this time! I asked in broken French for two tickets to some place and he was just rude and started walking away. I don't know what he said but the French guy doing work at the station started banging on the window telling him to help me. Apparently I got my answer but I still hadn't gotten a ticket and he had walked away again. The nice ...

... my favorite kind). My museum pass included a tour of the towers and up to the very top of the cathedral, which I hadn't done before, so I got in line. For the second day in a row, I climbed up 400 steps and walked down 400 steps. Again, there was a lot of huffing and puffing from my fellow visitors, and I have to admit, my calves were shaking when I finally finished my descent. (FYI, I have weird depth perception when walking down steps, so I have ...

... under the rope and over to where we were standing to wiggle Belinda's Tigger ears, give her a hug and then run back to rejoin the procession! It all happened very quickly and took a while to sink in so there was no opportunity for photos or video of this bizare, yet delightful occurence. Disatissfied with the park closing time we had booked a table at the Plaza Gardens restaurant fo 5pm, having a nice early dinner buffet. We had only snacked for lunch in preparation for the early ...

... worked, his night of beverages has lead him to become so unwound he is unable to operate at normal speed. (ROB - I like to think that the stress of driving 300 miles was a contributing factor to my malaise... I am also worried about Harry Potter - we have the latest book on cd for the drives and he is in trouble again - and what about the death of ...... I wont spoil it for those who haven't read the book yet, but all I can say is. Wow) His stomach and head ...

... London for a few years, but now lived in Paris with her boyfriend, and we asked her lots of questions about the language and how to deal with the French. We went to be very early, around 10.00pm, when everyone else was heading out for dinner, but got up nice and early on Saturday for our first full day of exploring. So we wandered down to the Rue de Rivoli, which runs alongside the Louvre and up to the Champs Elysees , and sat at one of the cafes to have ...

... During the day I also visited Notre Dam cathedral on the Seine River which rates up there as being one of the most beautiful gothic cathedrals I've visited in Europe. As it turned out, there was a service in place as I visited so I decided to sit in the 4th row and join in in what was a most memorable experience, sitting in a church service at the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. The organ playing and female singer was truly amazing. Staying in a ...

... the next week, and being able to communicate with people in my native tongue. So there you have it. My hectic 24 hours in Paris and the harrowing return. Who knows? Maybe my Austrian friend was right. Maybe I was crazy to do it all. I know that I certainly left with some sadness - that I was just starting to get the hang of Paris when I had to turn around and go. But you know what? It was fun. I really can't think of a thing I'd change. Even the ****** stuff was good ...
