3rd and Final Disneyland Day!

Well, you know what they say.....time flies when you're having fun. We were certainly having heaps of that! So the final day was upon us and it was even more magical than usual because we were celebrating Fiona's 24th birthday!

We got up early, packed everything away and got ready to go straight to the parks after dropping off our bags. We made friends with the very friendly bag man who sang happy birthday to Fiona....a common theme from the Cast Members we encountered throughout the day! 

We decided to head straight over to the Studios park to do the rides that we hadn't had time to do on the first day, and because Orla was desperate to go back on Crushes Coaster (my fave, hmm)

We arrived before the park opening time and were able to have a wander round before the rides and show opened. This gave us a chance to make the most of some of the movie set things they had set up and get some photos! Orla had spotted the umbrella under the rain the previous day and was SO excited to have her picture taken under it. What happened next is sort of partly my fault for getting carried away while directing Orla to get a great shot (think Austin Powers type enthusiasm) and Orla's.....for being a massive clutz! I told her she should jump so that we got a picture of her holding the umbrella whilst mid air. Unfortunately Orla jumped in the wrong direction and head butted the handle of the umbrella. I got a brilliant action shot, but Orla got a huge lump and bright red mark! Thank goodness for concealer! 

She recovered quickly and Fiona and Orla headed off to Rockin' Rollarcoaster. It wasn't until they had left that it occurered to me that a pretty epic bump to the head at 9am in the morning, probably wasn't best treated on a fast paced rollarcoaster that goes upside down twice.....but she lived to tell the tale!

Once we were done in the studios, we headed over the main park for some last minute fun! We went on all of the rides we wanted to do for a second time and I came very close to going on an upside down coaster (nice try Orla)! 

The highlight of this day was definitely getting time to meet all of the villains who were out in force for Halloween! Fiona was desperate to meet characters, little did she know, Orla and I had a trick up our sleeves that was going to make sure that happened. We met Captain Hook first, then Jafar and Maleficint. Followed closely by The Shadow Man and Cruella De Vill. The real highlight was Gaston. He took a liking to us because we reminded him of the three blondes from the film who adore him. He actually wouldn't let us leave until we had done their signature sigh/swoon for him! he sang Happy Birthday loudly and enthusiastically for Fiona and we had LOADS of pictures with him! 

After the character excitement, we moved on to the Birthday surprise for Fiona! We left the park and went over to Cafe Mickey in Disney Village. There we had booked lunch with the characters! Fiona got to meet the main man himself, Mickey, Donald, Chip & Dale, Gepetto and Pinocchio. After our meal the whole restaurant went crazy as Chip & Dale presented her with a cake that Orla and I had arranged. The whole restaurant was on their feet and singing. It was a very magical way to spend a birthday.....until Dale tried to steal the cake anyway! 

Feeling full and tired, it was time to bid farewell to Disneyland Paris. We had such an amazing time, we're already figuring out when we can go back! 

All it takes is faith & trust.....& a little bit of dust!
