This past week Renee made her way across the Atlantic Ocean to spend a bit of time at Disneyland Paris. 
As luck would have it, Phantom Manor had just reopened. Let's check out her report!! 

Written by Renée Girard 
Bonjour from Phantom Manor! ​

The Hyperspace Mountain overlay on any Space Mountain is never not fun! Really fits in well on the DLP version.

PhotoPass at Disneyland Paris is nearly non existent, with the exception of character photo ops. It’s weird not seeing a photographer every two feet along the center of Main Street!
Picture

I find their lack of food options disturbing at DLP. But at least some “themed” snacks seem to be appearing! Also, restaurant hours are bizarre. Like, the ice cream shop on Main Street closed at 7pm with a 10:30pm park close. That would be unheard of at WDW!
Picture
Phantom Manor Mickey is everything I ever wanted. ​
Picture
I forgot how unnecessary DLP Indy is. Dark ride instead, please!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Ah, that’s more like it. Best Big Thunder Mountain in the world? That’s a yes from me!
Picture
Picture
Also for anyone totally confused, I’m at DLP and Gregg is in Orlando. 
Picture
I might have to say that DLP Pirates is my favorite version too. But I haven’t been to Shanghai yet.

Loving the newly refurbished Phantom Manor. It looks absolutely amazing. What blows my mind though is that it was a walk on almost all day, 3 days after a 1.5 year closure. You would see a nonstop full queue at Disneyland in the States if they ever did that!

I only want my castles with dragons underneath them from now on, please and thank you.

I’ll try to say nice things about the Walt Disney Studios Paris park today.
Picture
Picture
Picture
The Ratatouille ride and surrounding themed shop and restaurant are terrific and by far the best things in the Studios park.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The Toy Story Playland is an odd area. I’m not a fan of the types of rides they have there, so we just did a brief walk through.
Picture
Picture
Some of the Marvel themed food is pretty cute. I enjoyed the Groot macaron.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
I thought I would enjoy the nostalgia aspect of going through Catastrophe Canyon on the tram tour. That was fine, I guess, but the rest of the “tour” was easily one of the worst Disney attractions.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
I’m a fan of Rock N Roller Coaster at DHS. It’s short and sweet, but a good “big” starter coaster for kids. At Studios Paris, it’s the same ride layout but just ruined by lazy theming and strobe lights.
Picture
Armageddon all boarded up next to Tower. If they stick with the Marvel theme in that area of the park, I think that’s a step in the right direction.
Picture
Picture
Picture
So the Marvel Super Heroes United, in the former Cinemagique Theatre, was really fun.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
I also really loved the Mickey and the Magician stage show at Studios Paris. Super cute and well done!
Picture

I love all things Disney but the Studios Paris park has very few redeeming qualities. I hope in the coming years they give it some love and transform things the way they did with DCA.
