Day of Disney and Drama

This morning the alarm was set for the earliest it has been since we landed in France- 8:00...I figured we should try to get to Disneyland shortly after they opened in the 10:00 hour...Once we were showered and dressed we headed for the Hotel de Ville Metro.. I have been trying to take a slightly different path on the way to and from home just to see different streets. This morning's path put us in front of a Starbucks. Since we didn't have breakfast we stopped in...they have pancakes in their pastry section but I chose a pain au chocolat and a chai tea, jus de pomme and a chocolate muffin for Grace. We took the Metro to "Nation" station and then got on the RER train which ends at Parc Disney. Grace was in a great mood and as the train headed East the clouds burned off and we had blue skies and sunshine.. There was a short line at the ticket gate..they were a little confused by my Expedia vouchers (why I bought tickets ahead of time online, don't ask). Right away we saw Santa as Goofy and waited in line for a photo...The Christmas carols were blasting and the park was all decorated for the holidays. I heard a lot of Spanish speaking tourists there.. Grace wanted to ride on the Carousel first, then the Teacups. The Alice in Wonderland 'ride' is a labyrinth you walk through but she liked it...I sort of tricked her into riding on the Peter Pan ride (shorter and less scary than in the U.S.).. We saw Snow White singing and Princess Aurora dancing, caught a glimpse of Belle and the Beast. We even saw Cinderella and Prince Charming but they had closed the line to meet them. We watched Mickey and Friends do a dance party, and then I hoped to ride more rides since the park was not crowded at all (barely any lines!)..But Grace had a complete meltdown when I took her to the line for the Snow White ride...We're talking MAJOR MELTDOWN... For some reason she thinks that particular ride, the Pinochhio ride, and Pirates of the Carribean are frightening..I tried to explain to her that just because they were scary when she was 2 or 3...doesnt mean they are still scary at almost 6.. She wouldn't accept any logic from me though and decided it was time to leave. So that's what we did. So we didn't make it past Main St and Fantasyland but that was her decision. She admitted on the way home she was really tired and fell asleep on the train. When we got back home we chilled out for a bit- she was singing "One Day My Prince Will Come" with her stuffed animals...Then we got some take out sushi, mango, edamame, calimari salad at the Sushi Shop and got dessert (lemon cheesecake) at this wonderful little place across the street from our apartment called Cococook . We ate dinner then I struggled with uploading pictures (the internet connection is not as good as home and it takes forever) and then we were in bed, lights out, before 10. Of course now it's midnight and I am awake again. I swear I don't sleep here unless I take an Ambien...not sure why.. I feel pretty damn exhausted...
