2023/08/14 – Day 22: Marseille – Disneyland Paris

This morning we were up by 07:00 because we had a train to catch to Disney at 10:00 and we had no idea how bad traffic would be getting back to the train station. We enjoyed our complimentary breakfast and left the hotel by 08:15. There was no traffic on a Monday morning and we filled up the car and returned it before 09:00. We walked 1 block and arrived at the train station 5 minutes later. Our train platform wasn’t announced until 9:45. We went straight to the train and boarded as soon as we could.

At 13:20, we arrived at Disneyland Paris. We caught a bus to the Disney Santa Fe hotel and checked in. We dropped off our luggage in the room, cleaned up, and spent the rest of the day in the park.

We stayed until the light show at 22:50. Addison and Tavis went to find a place to watch the show while Ari, Ayva and I did 1 more ride. We somehow all met up amongst thousands of people crowded in the park. Part way through, it started to pour. The rain was coming down in buckets and the show was almost over so we decided to leave. It was a zoo so we all agreed that if we got separated, we would meet outside the main gates. Unfortunately, that was not a good idea because there were name gates. Long story short, we all got separated. Ari was on his own and eventually made his way back to the hotel but didn’t have a key. Addison and Ayva got lost finding the hotel but eventually made their way after walking 45 minutes all the way around. They didn’t have a key to their room. Tavis and I were walking from gate to gate until 24:30 when we finally got a text from Addison saying everyone was at the hotel. We all made it back but next time, we need a better meeting point and everyone needs to carry a phone and a hotel key!

Tomorrow we get to spend the entire day at Disney again before making our way to our airbnb in Paris tomorrow night.
