Disney Paris part 2

Another busy Disney day! Up for 7:30 breakfast, and then straight off to the park to enjoy extra magic. Turns out that it's only Fantasyland plus a couple of Discoveryland rides that open early, but this did mean that by 9:30 we'd done Pinocchio, the Carrousel, tea cups, Dumbo and Peter Pan.
We then waited at the Fantasyland / Adventureland border for rope drop, and this meant that we were right at the front of the line for Pirates of the Caribbean, and we set sail on the first boat of the day.
Back to Fantasyland at Jake's request for a tour around Alice's maze before going back through the castle to Main Street, en route to the Studios via a quick stop at the Bake Shop (where Nicky discovered that the messy way that the chocolate brioche contains a lot of chocolate!).
At the studios our first stop was at Cinemagique, one of those Disney live action and film combos starring Martin Short. Other attractions at the studios done today were Armageddon, High School Musical on tour, the Backlot Tour, and Disney Animation.
Tea at Planet Hollywood (with 20% off thanks to the Brits Guide) and back to our hotel - in the rain again!
Note - Nicky and are spend a fair amount of time commenting about how all sorts of things would be different / better in Orlando, but I'm trying not to mention it here!
