Entry Title: "Disney Freak hits Disneyland Paris"

Entry:

"Well last night I knocked over a cup of water and it spilled on my laptop, and now it will not boot up. I hope it can be repaired. They have a business center at the hotel so I will have to find out where it is and how much to use the internet connection. I'll ask after breakfast.

I head down to breakfast since it is included in the hotel rate I booked. There is a short line but it moves quickly. They have a tray out with some pastries and also coffee if you want to snack while you wait. I find there is no need to do so since I waited only about 5 minutes in line. I figured it would be crowded since breakfast ends in 30 minutes. Breakfast is typical European style I've grown fond of in my travels. There are several types of bread, pastries, cold cuts, fruit, and yogurt. Standard fare in most European hotels I have stayed at. Also though, I find a crepe station and there is a section with ramen. I thought that was somewhat odd until I noticed several Japanese travelers who were enjoying it. I liked that the hotel catered to those tastes. Also unlike previous hotels I've stayed at, the yogurt wasn't in large bowls or paper cartons. Each yogurt was in an individual serving size containers made of glass. They had plain yogurt, but also they had yogurt with fruit on the bottom. I choose one and mixed in the granola I found. I really liked the granola because it had chocolate chunks in it. I also had a pastry that was filled with chocolate. I really like chocolate.

After breakfast I ask about the business center and I was told I would need to buy an internet card for access. I cough up the euros for a 30 minute card and head down to the business center. Unlike many places in the states, the center is not in a closed off room. It is just an area with 3 computers and a few printers. I find the Union Jack icon and follow the directions which are now in English. I check my email and find several messages from friends who responded to my email from last night. I respond back to them and send out another quick general email to everyone. I get a little frustrated because the keyboard is set up for French and some of the letters are in different places than they are on a standard English keyboard. Also, you have to shift to enter numbers. Again, I curse my clumsiness. Maybe the laptop will dry out today and start working again.

I head up to my room to grab all my necessities for the day and head out to Gare Montparnasse. I have several different sets of directions for how to get out to Ville Marne where Disneyland Paris is located. I figured the best bet is to ask at a ticket window. I find an information area which turns out to be for the high speed trains and their destinations. However, the woman is very polite and helpful despite what she says is her limited English. She tells me I need to go down a flight and tells me where the ticket windows are for the commuter trains. I thank her and head out. As I am leaving, my airplane seat neighbor walks in with his girlfriend. They seem on a mission, so I head out but I wonder about the odds of running into someone in Paris!

I head downstairs to where I was directed and get in the ticket line. I notice that the one window had a British flag and a sign that says "I speak English". As American as I am, who would know that I would love to see that Union Jack as much I have been? I let some folks behind me go ahead so they could use the other windows and it is finally my turn. Again, the man was very helpful. He asks if I plan on returning to the city today and I answer yes. He then gives me a single ticket that will be used for the day so I can go out and return. He then gives me directions for which metro to take, which station to change to, and reminds me that ..."
