Paris Day2: Disneyland Park
Posted by martin newham in Holidays, Travel on August 31, 2009
At around 12:30am I was woken up by the refuse collection below the room I was staying in – not a quick five minutes, but I can only assume some unhappy “cast member” taking it out on the empty bottles. I much have counted at least 20 glass bottles being thrown into refuse, that interspersed with the lift next door delivering people; a thankless task, but still noisy.
The following morning, after inspecting the HUGE queue for breakfast, to be honest I’ve seen smaller queues within the park! I decided to forgo the most important meal of the day and see what can be done about my room.

Arrived at the hotel at Disney around 2pm local time. Check in was a bit of a chore, bit finally got onto the room – it’s on the 8th floor and overlooking the hotel delivery area – 4/10 for location.

Well we’ve just left St. Pancras station, I feel as if I should be wearing a seatbelt.

Arrived at London St. Pancras International to get the Eurostar train direct to Disneyland Paris.
The train leaves at 09:53, so I’m hanging around in the very small departure area waiting.
I think Disney has loaned the station some brass band. They seem very Disney-esk.
