Congratulations to Twilight Sparkle and Bethislucy for turning Tokyo Disneyland (and DisneySea) Purple!
One of the cooler items in the TDR Explorer article I linked yesterday might have gotten lost among all the information there. Here's an article that focuses on Tokyo DisneySea's time-lapse drone footage of the construction of Fantasy Springs.
And here's an article from Orlando Weekly about Fantasy Springs--does the new area show the future of Disney parks?

I really enjoyed the information about Tokyo DisneySea. I love Tangled, so a whole mini-land dedicated to the movie sounds amazing (as opposed to a bathroom).
Adding 45 minutes of walking in the park this afternoon!

Congratulations to ljcrochet for powering ahead to be the first team member to reach Hong Kong Disneyland Red! And I have turned Tokyo Disneyland (and DisneySea) Purple.
Halfway around the world from Tokyo Disney Resort is the next-built Fantasyland, in Disneyland Paris. Like the other Fantasylands we've seen, Paris's Fantasyland also is chock-full of attractions. Here you'll find takes on these familiar attractions:
Blanche-Neige et les Septs Nains (Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs)
Casey Jr. - Le Petit Train du Cirque
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
it's a small world
Le Carrousel de Lancelot
Le Pays des Contes de Fees (Storybook Canal Boats)
Les Voyages de Pinocchio
Mad Hatter's Tea Cups
Peter Pan's Flight
And some attractions particular to Paris:
Alice's Curious Labryinth
La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant - the gallery of Sleeping Beauty, upstairs in the castle
and my favorite, La Taniere du Dragon - the dragon in the castle's dungeon
This Fantasyland also has two character meet n greet locations:
Meet Mickey Mouse (featuring Mickey dressed as a magician)
Princess Pavilion

1096/1680 adding some Yoga to my workout in the evenings. I've been having a lot of tightness in the IT band/ sciatic nerve area so I'm hoping that will help.

Congratulations to PollyannaMom and the TEAM for turning Tokyo Disneyland (and DisneySea) Purple!
Fantasyland in Paris offers several dining options:
Auberge de Cendrillon (French sit-down)
Au Chalet de la Marionette (roast chicken, burgers, desserts)
Fantasia Gelati (ice cream)
L'Arbre Enchante (ice cream and snacks)
March Hare Refreshments (ice cream and snacks)
Pizzeria Bella Notte (pizza and pasta)
The Old Mill (ice cream, popcorn, drinks)
Toad Hall Restaurant (fish and chips, salad)
Disneyland Paris was actually my last international trip before COVID, in February 2020. We got a package that included half-board dining. We had breakfast at the hotel, and then had vouchers to use at the Disney restaurants for lunch or dinner (two vouchers, one for each day). The best use of the vouchers was at the higher-end restaurants. The first one we used wasn't a particularly good use; we just wanted to eat at that restaurant (the cashier was so nice and tried to tell us that we could make better use of the vouchers!). So for the second voucher, we decided to find the most expensive meal that still had availability. That turned out to be Auberge de Cendrillon.
What we didn't realize at the time was that it was character dining. We're picking out our food from the menu, chatting away, and then all of a sudden, here's Cinderella, speaking to us in French! She quickly switched to English when she realized we're from the U.S. She must have thought we were very strange, because we honestly weren't expecting characters at all and were a little scattered. It was such a nice meal, though -- the food was good, the server was great, and in addition to Cinderella, there was Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, and Ariel (and Cinderella's mice too). And they all spoke English as well as French (well, not the mice).
As it turns out, "Cendrillon" is the French name for Cinderella. And "Auberge" is inn. So the restaurant is Cinderella's Inn. If we'd been paying attention, maybe Cinderella popping up wouldn't have been such a surprise!
P.S. - I just realized I picked two pictures of characters in pinky-purple (not Ariel in green, or Cinderella in blue). I must have been drawn to them because of today's color change!

Add us to the crazy weather. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 70s and then drop to 24. Bad storms are expected and the wind is already a bit much.
@sophy1996, your DLP pics are wonderful! We were supposed to go to DLP in 2020. Still sad about that and still hope to make good on those plans as soon as we can. Auberge de Cendrillon looks beautiful. Going on the wish list for sure.

Paris's Fantasyland represents the European countries that were the origins of the fairy tales that Disney movies were based on. Here's a Disney Parks Blog article about some of the inspirations (including a 5-minute video "Private Tour").
Here are a few more pictures from our trip:
The first two are the view from the Queen of Hearts's Castle in the middle of Alice's Curious Labyrinth and then looking at the labyrinth. The labyrinth was of particular interest to us because it is unique to Disneyland Paris and because I was already then planning on dressing as the Cheshire Cat for a Disney Halloween party (which I finally got to do last year!).
This picture is of La Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant (Sleeping Beauty Castle). I think this is one of the most beautiful of the Disney castles. Reportedly the Imagineers were under a great deal of pressure to create a worthy castle in the middle of a country and a region that has many, many real (and beautiful) castles! Note the square trees on the side.
Disneyland Paris celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and the castle just underwent a 12-month refurbishment to look its best for the occasion!
Looking back at these pictures reminds me that the parks were pretty empty! It was the beginning of February, pretty chilly, and as you can see above, rainy at times. So not too many locals wanting to visit. Worked for us!

Random but my brother's baby was born today! It's a girl! I've got nieces/nephew on my husband's side, so this is the first one on my side.

Congratulations to Bethislucy for turning Paris Disneyland Pink! And congratulations to Auntie Elizabeth Smith on the birth of a new niece!
Also, one correction-I doublecounted some days on ljcrochet's total earlier this week, so she's still at Tokyo Purple.
Next, we'll be off to check out Fantasyland in Hong Kong Disneyland, once I get myself together. Stay tuned later this weekend!
