It was a grey, slightly chilly and ultimately wet day in Paris today. We're set up in the 8th and haven't spent much time here before. We didn't leave the apartment until after 11 today, up too late the night before, and the one before that, and...First stop was the Champs-Elysee and the Disney store specifically. Our first stop of the day is the Champs-Elysee for the Disney Store and hopeful Frozen purchases, but no luck. By now its lunch and Max has...

Our flight got us into Paris by 12pm, but between luggage and traffic it was another 2 hours before we made it to the hotel.

A block or two too early means we much ...

Our penultimate dinner was the Animation show where you draw your own character that then gets animated into some Disney classics, brilliant! Though I think the girls may have been slightly more impressed with their decorate your own cup cake dessert. Our time on the magic is drawing to an end, with one sea day to go before we dock in Barcelona there's a mix of excitement for the sea day of Disney indulgence ahead and depression at the thought that today is ...
