After a great day, the Cast Members again rushed us out of the park. Most places had closed at 7pm even though the park itself was open until 8pm. Such a weird experience since I am a Cast Member myself, I now have a greater appreciation for what Guests go through when things close early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130030-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2107\" srcset=\"http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130030-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130030-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130030-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130030-1140x855.jpg 1140w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130030.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Rare sighting of the\u00a0Casey Jr. Circus Train at Disneyland Paris<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130032-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2108\" srcset=\"http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130032-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130032-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130032.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>The Nautilus parked in front of Space Mountain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130044-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2109\" srcset=\"http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130044-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130044-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130044-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130044-1140x855.jpg 1140w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130044.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Le Ch\u00e2teau de la Belle au Bois Dormant\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130064-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2111\" srcset=\"http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130064-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130064-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130064-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130064-1140x855.jpg 1140w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130064.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Captain Hook&#8217;s ship moored in Adventure Isle with Pirates of the Caribbean in the background<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130087-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2112\" srcset=\"http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130087-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130087-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/clubjosh.com\/diaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/2002\/11\/PB130087.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>One last look down Main Street USA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We headed back to Paris for our final night in Europe and took our time getting back to the hotel.
