Second Day in the Park during a heat wave

walkitoutWe did not bring A. into the park at all; it got up to 100. R. and I went to Studios and rode the Spiderman ride, Crush’s Coaster (bought those two individually), Ratatouille (single rider) and Twilight Zone. We ran into a couple Californians who’ve been living in Seattle while in line for Crush. Fun!
We hunkered down in the hotel for the day.
In the evening, I don’t remember for sure but I don’t think I went back to the park. It took forever to cool down.
In the weeks and months leading up to this trip, one of my biggest fears was that we’d get a heat wave for some or all of our trip. I did everything in my power to ensure we had AC and laundry ever place we stayed, but even so, I was particularly afraid of being in Paris during the heatwave, because I suspected the AC would not be good enough to cope. In a way, having this happen in Marne-La-Vallee, in a villa with extremely effective AC, tons of space, and a really great kitchen, is the best way this could have happened. And also, what a complete pain.
So far, the hourly forecast is ludicrously accurate in terms of when and how much the temperature will change, and if the Paris forecast in coming days is accurate, we should be okay. Fingers crossed.
