DAY 2 
DISNEYLAND PARIS

An entrance to Adventureland.
Adventure Isle. It is Peter Pan-themed. There is Captain Hook's ship and Skull Rock. This is pretty much for the young ones.
Different pirates are in here. The old favorite Pirates of the Caribbean. It is similar to the rides in California and Florida, but some things are backward. The jail scene is at the beginning and the skeleton at the ship's wheel is at the end. There was improved animatronics. There was a swordfight and a pirate swinging out over the boats. The familiar song is played throughout, but it is not very clear. I think rather than translate it into French they just mumbled it up a bit so you can't hear the English.
Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril. There is an Indiana Jones stunt show at MGM-Disney Studios in Florida and a great Indiana Jones Adventure in California. This is not as good as the Disneyland ride, but it's okay.
It's a tightly-wound rollercoaster. My head knocked around quite a bit.
Pretty fancy for a pizza joint. I just liked the theming.
The entrance to Frontierland is through a fort.
The haunted mansions in the Disneyland, Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris are all in different lands. At Disneyland, the southern mansion is in New Orleans Square. At WDW, the attraction is a New England-style mansion in Liberty Square. Here in Disneyland Paris, it is called Phantom Manor and is a western home in Frontierland. (For the record, the Haunted Mansion in Tokyo Disneyland looks like the WDW version, but is located in Fantasyland.)
The theming looks more authentic in DLP.
Look, a French cock. No, not the guy, the bird. Although the guy might be a bit of a prick, I don't know.
Seeing as how the Haunted Mansion is my favorite attraction at any park, I rode this ride more than anything else.
If there was much of a crowd the queue would wind past this little tea room. But it was a Thursday in November, so I could pretty much walk right on.
Some of the headstones outside the house. Here is the ill-fated Ballard family. It seems that Mary Murphy (whose stone reads "Til Death...") married Frank Ballard ("...Do Us Part") against the wished of Ma Ballard ("Over My Dead Body"). Looks like a triple murder-suicide or something.
From left to right: The squirrel's marker says "November 13, 1865. Breakfast Time". The mountain lion's says "November 13, 1865. Lunch Time". The man's says "November 13, 1865. Dinner Time". The bear's says something about happily hibernating.
The entry room of the manor has a mirror in which the bride's face appears.
A portrait of the bride. I have a theory on the storyline of the ride. I think the bride was left at the alter when a phantom killed her groom. In the stretching room when the lights go out and you see the corpse hanging from the rafters, there are two figures. One appears to have hanged the other. I think the hangee is the groom and the hanger is a skeleton phantom that appears in different scenes in the attraction. The bride is jilted and haunts the manor evermore. It's rather sad actually.
The staircase at the loading area. The cemetery part at the end of the ride is a lot more evil than the playful versions at the other parks. The singing busts is the only lighthearted part of it. In addition to the evil skeleton phantom guy there is a snarling hound from hell and a western town full of rather wicked ghosts.
It is hard to get a good photograph on the ride, but I snapped this one of the singing busts. The music in the attraction is an exquisite 3/4 time rendition of "Grim Grinning Ghosts" performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. But here the busts are singing the old familiar tune.
There's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad from the front porch of Phantom Manor. The ride is similar except that it starts rather fast and dark and ends even faster and darker. It was a bit weird hearing the "Howdy folks!" spiel in French.
