Last full day today. We decided to go to the outlet village and the shopping mall this morning. It's been a really lovely, hot day today so a quick 2 minute walk from our hotel to the outlets. It was heaving here today, they were queuing to get in and so many people walking around. We felt really uncomfortable with the amount of people, you really couldnt social distance at all so we turned round and left! We crossed over to the shopping mall which was a bit better but not much. We went to Sephora for a few bitd, then a quick look in Primark but no purchases. I did pop into a speciality tea shop called Kusmi tea and bought some special blend of fruit tea to try as i dont drink normal tea but love a cup of fruit tea. It was quite expensive so i hope i dont develop a taste for it.
Purchases dropped off in our room then a quick uber to Disneyland. It was noticeably more busy today, wait times were up a little and more people walking around. It still quiet compared to usual crowds but noticeably busier today. Also all the reservations were sold out and apparently they added more capacity this morning too. I did find some people not adhering to the social distancing markers in the queues and it was often that they just weren't paying attention. I did end up asking (telling) a family to keep their distance as they were right up close behind us e wry time we moved. Giving evils didn't work so I simple said no... back please and pointed to the floor markers. The man was not happy and kept getting closer but his wife understood and showed him the markers stating respect the distance. It was uncomfortable but it only happened the once thank goodness.
It was very hot today, around 28 degrees this afternoon. The masks were a struggle today but we just had lots of breaks for drinks and a rest. We did all the rides we wanted, finished with so e photos on main st then left the park st around 5.30 and walked to Vapianos for some food. It was very quiet in there and for the first time ever we didn't have to queue for ages for our food. We do love the food in Vapianos and they also give 10% discount to ap holders which is a bonus. No issues with getting an uber back and we also asked if we could have a late check out in the morning. We can stay u til 1 instead of being out by 11 and due to exceptional circumstances (Covid 19) they are not charging us for it as they normally would... bonus. So now I'm trying to squeeze everything I to my little case in readiness for home tomorrow. I probably won't update on our trip home unless there is something interesting I feel I need to tell you all.
Thanks for reading and I hope this little blog has been of some benefit to anyone still nervous about booking a trip to DIP, just do it... its been great and I really can't praise DLP enough for all the great work they have done. So good to have been back in the magic. We have another trip reserved for beginning of October, when we should have been in California and we are hoping to stay a couple of nights in The Disneyland Hotel as part of it. Watch this space.
Than you for doing this report. It has been really helpful

A great report and a very useful update as to how France and DLP are after reopening.
Really appreciate all of your efforts in getting all this info posted in real time. Uber driver noted too.
