Disneyland Paris with the family

I've been to Disneyland Hong Kong in 2014 when I was single and traveling with friends. It was easy for me to ask friends to take photos of me. When I was there, it was fun to see parents with their kids having fun at Disneyland. I told myself that someday when I have my own family, we will go to Disneyland.

Expectation vs Reality

My expectation is to have several photos with the kids and the whole family at Disneyland. Enjoy the rides with the kids.

But the reality is I ended up taking a lot of selfies for myself. I also ended up taking the rides alone. Especially the extreme rides. My husband becomes the babysitter. All the time he was with the kids and I was doing the rides.

My husband has been to Disneyland Paris many times together with his niece and nephews. It was my first time to be at Disneyland Paris but not my first time to be in a Disneyland park because I've been to Disneyland Hong Kong.

I am glad that he made my dreams come true to go there as a family.

To be honest, it is not easy to go to Disneyland with the kids. Especially, when you have a toddler (2 years old) and a baby (will be 12 months in a few days).

It was very hot that day at 34 degrees Celsius. The temperature feels like I was in the Philippines.

Our kids were having tantrums which are very normal. They wanted to sleep, they were thirsty. My toddler wanted to run around.

I had limited rides. I actually went to 3 extreme rides. Hyperspace Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, and Indiana Jones. One chill ride was the Pirates of the Caribbean. I had to wait 40 minutes before I could take the ride.

Later on, the husband was able to take the Indiana Jones. So far, it was the sickest ride I had. I felt like my brain was shaking. LOL!

Anyway, someday, when the kids are taller, we can go back to Disneyland Paris so that we can actually enjoy the other rides as a family.

Breastfeeding Elise

Wow! I never thought that I could actually breastfeed Elise while queuing our way to Dumbo. It was not very easy. Elise was feeling hot. She was thirsty. She wanted to sleep. So I gave her my milk. Good thing I wasn't that exposed but the other parents were understanding enough that it was fine to breastfeed in public. Well, we were surrounded by kids anyway.

Elise fell asleep in my arms while flying with Dumbo. I don't have a photo but I have a video. I will post it later on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itravelrox/

How to calm down a toddler who has a tantrum?

Alexandre was impatient on our way to Dumbo. So was Elise as she wanted my milk. I was breastfeeding Elise. Alexandre calmed down when he met the two Disney princesses. The parents were behind the girls. We kept on saying Thank You to the girls and to the parents. Alexandre asked for the hand of the girls. The two princesses were so patient to hold his hands. In return, Alexandre gave flowers to the girls. How sweet!
