This weekend, we made a trip to Disneyland Paris together with David (colleague and friend from work) and his girlfriend Elke. I think my last visit to a Disney resort was about 9 years ago, so I knew this was going to be a nostalgic weekend

We booked the trip through the internet a month in advance and the cost was 584€ for 4 persons. This included a 2 day hopper pass for the two parks and one night in Hotel Santa Fe (The cheapest Disney hotel). One of the main advantages of staying in a Disney hotel is that you can enter the main park at 8 am, two hours before the park opens, which was great for me since this allowed me to take some sunrise pictures when the park was not yet flooded with people.

The picture below was taken at 8:45 and shows the Sleeping Beauty Castle, which is the center and the main building of the park, at morning commute. The castle was inspired by the Neuschwanstein Castle in Southern Germany, which I hope we will be able to visit this winter. The last time I visited Neuschwanstein was about 15 years ago, so I don’t remember much of that trip
