My first time in Disneyland

I had always dreamed, that one day I could walk through the gates of Disneyland, to see the castle, be among people who, like me, love Disney and even meet a princess... And last summer my dream finally came true!

 

It was the summer when I met my Prince. Trip to Disneyland Paris was our first holiday together, and after a day in Disneyland we knew that we are really going to be a couple. And to celebrate, we decided to spend another day in Disneyland! No need to say, I felt I was in a whole new world.

On our way to Disneyland on a first day I was actually quite terrified. I Had been dreaming about it for so long. What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be? When we finally entered the park, I was a little shocked. Everything was so wonderful. I didn't know where to go, what to do, even where to look. So I just screamed and walked a circle for a while.

 When I got a grip on "reality" again, I saw the castle in the end of the promenade, and I just wanted to run to it. But I didn't (that day), because there was so much to see even before that. Also I was convinced that we had enough time to see and to do everything we wanted. Of course that was not the truth. Even though I am a dreamer, I could not have dreamed how extensive the park would be! Truth is, one day is really not enough. On our first day we didn't even get to see any princesses because all the meetings were booked by the time we realized it. We didn't even use any fast passes, we only went to couple of rides and just walked around. And it was still great, but the second day was perfect.

On a second day we had a plan to go make the princess meeting reservation first thing in the morning, but on our way to Disneyland our train broke and we end up being there about an hour after the opening. After we got through the gates, we just run through the promenade, passed the castle and got to the line for meeting reservations. And we got the meeting! It must have been one of the last meetings because it was so late in the afternoon. 

Waiting to meet a princess..

We met Cinderella and Rapunzel! I was so happy. I asked Rapunzel if she was at Elsa's coronation party, because I think I saw her there. She said she was, with Eugine! :)

At the end of both days there was, of course, this amazing show with fireworks, music, and lights that is really hard to describe. I can only say, that it was perfect.

So why am I writing about this now? Because it's been a year since our trip, and now were at the airport again! And this time we are going to be in Disneyland for many days! I also made a reservation for us in a Cinderella restaurant! Oh I'm so exited! So there is really going to be some Disneyland-princess-explotions in the blog really soon! :)

What a beautiful sunrise at the Helsinki airport..
