Le Mickey Mouse

I spent this last week at EuroDisney, or Disneyland Paris, as all their logo'd merchandise said. I was actually there for work, for a sales conference for our entire European sales team. We have our annual conference in Anaheim, near another Disney, so maybe we got a good deal or something. The timing was pretty good as most kids are back at school from holidays.

I have to admit that this was not exactly a place on my list of sites in Europe to visit. As I expected, it was pretty much a little slice of America plopped down in France. I was so disoriented the entire week because it was so much like Disney World, including the decor of the hotel, with the primary differences being the crap weather and the people speaking French. I usually try to speak a bit of French, or any other language, when I travel, but I felt like I was in America all week.

Thursday night we went into the Park for dinner and drinks, and they had the Thunder Mountain ride open for us to use. Again, it was just like the one I have ridden in Anaheim. That was good thing I guess, since it is a fun ride.

The worst part, by far, was the fact that every evening when I returned to my room in the New York Hotel, I had to walk over a gigantic Yankees logo. Ugh!!!
