2010 DIS Forum Disneyland Paris Awards Results: Best Thrill Ride
WINNER Tower of Terror (41%) 2nd Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster (19%) 3rd= Crush’s Coaster (14%) 3rd= Space Mountain 2 (14%) 5th Big Thunder Mountain (9%) 6th Casey Jr – Le Petit Train du Cirque (5%) As you will know if you are a regular reader of this blog you will know I am a thrill avoider, so as far removed from an expert as there can be in this category. In fact that 6th place for Casey Jr is from my vote as that’s as much of a thrill ride as…

2010 DIS Forum Disneyland Paris Awards Results: Best Overall Restaurant
WINNER Walt’s (29%) 2nd Annette’s (24%) 3rd Café Mickey (17%) 4th Blue Lagoon (8%) 5th= Agrabah Cafe (4%) 5th= Auberge de Cendrillon (4%) 5th= Billy Bob’s Country Western Saloon (4%) 5th= California Grill (4%) 5th= Inventions (4%) 5th= Silver Spur Steakhouse (4%) Two great restaurants were neck and neck until the end when Walt’s clung on to win. Of course my vote goes to Blue Lagoon and I am a little surprised at how it’s popularity seems to have decreased over the years, at least for these awards anyway.

2010 DIS Forum Disneyland Paris Awards Results: Best Disney Village Restaurant
WINNER Annette’s Diner (40%) 2nd Café Mickey (36%) 3rd The Steakhouse (12%) 4th Rainforest Café (8%) 5th Billy Bob’s Country Western Saloon (4%) I agree with this one. We ate at Annette’s Diner twice on our last visit and the food was very testy, plentiful and served with a smile. It has a great 1950’s theme and some of the staff are even on rollerskates – I’ve never seen anyone drop anything either, yet! Below is a photo of the fantastic chicken salad that I had 2 evenings in a row…

2010 DIS Forum Disneyland Paris Awards Results: Best Walt Disney Studios Restaurant
WINNER Café des Cascadeurs (57%) 2nd Blockbuster Café (36%) 3rd Backlot Express (7%) I have to admit that we rarely eat in Walt Disney Studios, usually choosing to eat in Parc Disneyland (like my clever use of the French version instead of just Disneyland Park? Clever me) or Disney Village. The runaway win for Café des Cascadeurs makes me want to try it out though. I did some research and found the menu over at Disney Central Plaza – photo credit goes to Serleena. Unless I am missing something it looks…

The ambience is better than any other restaurant I’ve ever been in, Disney and others. The food has always…
