It was Christmas day and we got to spend our Christmas in Paris!! it was really really cool.
A day before, we bought a new Maclaren stroller to Amirah since her Graco stroller which we brought from Malaysia was broken. we were not sure how MAS handle this stroller during our flight but by the time we got to Rome, it was already broken. however, we managed to use the stroller until we got to Paris. It was quite upsetting to us to leave the Graco back in Paris since we had been using it ever since Amirah was born. However, it was a good excuse for us to buy a new one since the Graco stroller is super heavy compared to the Maclaren and despite that we were traveling at that time, having a lightweight stroller with so much luggage would help us a lot. moreover, some of the countries do not provide facilities for disable or strollers at their train station and we had to carry the stroller up and down the stairs to get into the train. so much for a developed countries, isn't it? huh!
back to our trip, Amirah, papa and mama planned to spend our Christmas holiday in Disneyland Paris. we took an early train to get to Marne-la-Vallee in the morning. it was really cold on that day, about 1-2 degree Celsius. since we gonna spend the whole day there, most of the time outdoor, mama and papa put amirah layers of cloth to keep her warm.
amirah was sleeping when we arrived at the Disneyland. it must be the cold weather that made her comfortable to sleep even longer than we expected. Disneyland Paris consist of 2 parks; the Disneyland Park and the Walt Disney Studios Park. Our tickets were valid for both of the parks but we only managed to go to the Disneyland Park.
We watched the first show of Minney and friends near the Sleeping Beauty Castle when Amirah woke up when the shows almost reached the end. Of course she was quite excited to see one of her favorite characters when she opened her eyes.
Most of the rides that we went to were suitable for Amirah (ie: Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Its a Small World, Thundermesa Riverboat Tour). however, we did not manage to cover most of them as Amirah was not feeling well that day. she was purging heavily and with the weather getting colder and colder, that worried us so much. the worst part of her purging was when we were having our lunch buffet at the Agrabah Cafe. Mama had to rush Amirah to the restroom outside the restaurant to wash and clean her and changed her clothes. We bought extra clothes for her just in case she needed them. Even though, she did not cry, most of the time she slept because of the cold weather and still enjoyed some part of the Disneyland trip, we decided to went back earlier so that she could have some rest for the next days to come. we went back as soon as the Disney's Parade was over.
Overall of the Disneyland trip was okay. how we wished she was okay on that day so that she could enjoyed to her fullest. although we did not have so many rides (due to amirah was not feeling well and some other time she was sleeping), but we took lots of pictures there though.
Really look forward to bring Amirah to experience other Disneylands, maybe Tokyo or Hong Kong when she was older. insyallah kalau ada rezeki.. aminn
