We were a little tired this morning as Seren had been ill again in her bed during the night so had then spent a rather sleepless night in bed with us. It was our last day in the Paris area though so we either had to go to Disney today or not at all so decided to risk it. Dad dropped us and went to do some errands and, having the girls with us, we decided our first stop should be Fantasyland. Tieve first went on the Carousel with Glen and then the "flying ephalants" aka Dumbo ride, with Gran. By this time we had been at Disney for about two hours so decided to stop for lunch. I was keen, having just watched so far, to go on Space Mountain. We wandered over to Discoveryland to meet Dad, have a quick bite and join the 45 minute queue. We had been lining up for about 15 minutes when the queue stopped moving. We could hear announcements inside but could not understand them where we were, still outside the building. Slowly, people started getting frustrated with the wait and left, moving us up the line. After about half an hour and a couple of test runs the ride was up and running again and the line then moved quite rapidly as it would appear that many people from inside had also given up. Space Mountain was better than I had remembered and my fears about my recently developed motion intolerance were for nothing and I felt no worse afterwards than I ever really had after a rollercoaster. I think in some ways, not being able to see anything actually helps with the motion illness as there is not horizon to move!!!!
We came off just in time to race and see the parade, although, unfortunately, we didn't manage to meet up with Mum and the Girls but did take lots of photos. We found them when the parade was over and we then, as planned due to our long day tomorrow, headed for the shops to buy some souvenirs and head back to the campsite. Just as we hopped into the car it started raining so I definitely think we left at the right time.
