We meandered to the Toon Studio area of the park and queued for Ratatouille: L'Adventure Totalement Toquee de Remy which was well worth the 70+ minute wait! This is probably one of the most advanced rides at any Disney park. The area around the ride is themed to look like downtown Paris with great little tie-in details.
We then continued through the Toy Story Playland section of the Toon Studio area. Everything is themed to make you feel like a toy. There we rode Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop which is also excellently themed.
The Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic ride was next. While similar to the same ride that existed at Walt Disney World, this one was a little more extensive with two special effects areas and several additional props to observe. Then it was back over to Toy Story Playland for Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin.
We then walked back to our hotel to pickup the raffle gift Peggy created for the Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Facebook group meetup. We arrived at the gazebo area outside Disneyland Hotel shortly after the scheduled start time and there were about 30 people present from all over the world.
After the raffle we ducked into Disneyland Park for dinner at Pizzeria Bella Notte which filled our desire for race-night pasta. The afternoon parade was wrapping up as we finished our meal. We took our time working our way out of the park, along with several hundred of the other guests (I understand why they say no one stays for the fireworks...it's true, they all left at 6PM).
A short call home to talk to our sons and we were headed back to Walt Disney Studios. We went to Armageddon: les Effects Speciaux which was an interesting exhibit, and then decided to call it a night.
We're now back at the hotel, race attire all laid out and alarms set for 5AM. Tomorrow, we tackle Le Disneyland Paris Semi Marathon Val D'Europe!
