Danger- I'm thinking again

It has begun- the musical introduction of the webpage for Disneyland Paris is once again ringing through the house. We are narrowing dates and times and budgets for our next trip to the land of magic, mouse and disappearing money.

The options before us are late September- when it is cheap. Of course it is cheap because there is nothing going on in the park. We can get a room in a luxury hotel in the park for $990, and that includes the tickets to the park for 3 days and breakfast. Or going mid to late November- when they have the Christmas shit up. The same room then is about $1100... but there is WAY more going on in the park.

Apparently they blow fake snow onto main street every few hours. They have a Christmas parade. Oh- and the revival version of the old electrical parade that is called "Fantillusion". Looks like a mix between The main street electrical parade and Fantasmic from Anaheim.

Why go and give more money to the Millionaire Mouse? Because it is fun- and addictive to be in a musical magical atmosphere that is 100% American, and at the same time very multi cultural. The announcements down main street are done in 6 languages. Everyone there smiles and seems happy. Kids have that perfectly glowing look on their faces- and that sparkle in their eyes is a bargain at any price.

As of now the September thing is looking less likely. We may (or may not) have house guests that week- and they don't seem much into the Disney experience. (Color me floored. Who DOESN'T want to go to Disneyland with kids? But whatever.)

For now,I am back to work on the costume thing. It is the one time of year I get crazy busy with sewing shit. I make a few costumes. I make a few bucks. I have been fighting with the skirts on one for the last three days. I will win... or it goes on the grill amidst my maniacal laughing.... so ultimately... I win.
