Belated post: summertime magic. Part 1

Hey guys!
I know it's been a while since my last post here, but there are a lot of things going on in my life right now, so I simply didn't have enough time to do this. Anyways, here I am, writing about my summer trip and I really hope you will like this.
So the only trip that i went on this year was my trip to Disneyland Paris. Again. Yes, I know I have a tiny obsession with this place, don't judge me :)
We've been there only for 4 day, and it obviously was not enough time for me to fully enjoy the whole amazingness of this place. We actually was planning on a 5-day trip, one of the days we were going to spend in Paris, but my mom didn't get her passport back at the right time, so our visit to France was a bit shorter.
But despite all the difficulties we did manage to get to the Disneyland and fully enjoy our time there.

We stayed at Disney Hotel New York, which is situated in the walking distance from both parks. It took us about 5 minutes to get to them every day. The other amazing thing about all of their hotels is that when you are staying at the Disney Hotel you instantly get the extra hours ticket, that gives you the permission to come to the Disneyland park earlier than other guests, the park is opened for you from 8am to 10pm exclusively. The New York Hotel is not the best in the resort, but it holds the second place among the other hotels. Its quite big, it looks really expensive (and to tell the truth it wasn't cheap at all to stay there, but since it was our only trip this summer we decided to please ourselves). The greatest thing for me about the hotel was its smell. OMG. I can't even describe that smell, but it was so good, that after a long  day in the park I didn't want to go to the room on the first place, I just wanted to sit in the lobby and enjoy the scent from their air freshener LOL.

Our room was on the ground floor, it was facing the pool outside and it also had the second door that was leading to the tiny hotel's garden (and yeah, I'm aware that is not an ACTUAL garden, but I felt that this description would be more special). We loved that it was like our personal privilege to go there every morning and evening, watching the sunsets and, sometimes, sunrises :)

We came to Disneyland at about 3pm on Wednesday. The first thing we did after the check-in was watching the 'Stars'n'Cars' parade at the Walt Disney Studios Park. It was an awesome event, we've seen a lot of characters and just simply enjoyed those 20 minutes as much as possible.

After the parade we decided to watch "Motors, action, stunt show spectacular featuring Lightening McQueen. It was a loud attraction, the stuntmen showed us tricks and effects from different Hollywood movies. It lasted about 40 minutes and we fully enjoyed them all. I didn't take a lot of photos there, because we had our camera with us, but I will share one with you.

Our first diner we had in the Disney Village at "Annette's Diner". We tried out the burgers and fries, but the food was not the only thing that made this restaurant amazing. Music from the 50's and the dance show from the staff were the amazing thing to add to our evening. If you are going to Disneyland in Paris, you should definitely check this place out!

We finished the first day in the place where all dreams come true with a little walk in the park, watching the lights and listening to music.
