June 7 (UPI) -- Serena Williams stayed in Paris after being knocked out of the French Open and took daughter Olympia to Disneyland.

Williams posted footage from her trip to Disneyland Paris on Thursday in her Instagram stories. She went to the park with husband Alexis Ohanian and mother Oracene Price.

"We are on a family trip in Paris and I would love to know if you could guess where we are going," Williams said in one of the videos, while riding in a car. "Do you know where we are going little momma [Olympia]?"

The suspense continued as Williams and Ohanian walked through the admission gate. She asked her 8.4 million Instagram followers once again to guess the location. Williams then twirled around with Olympia and went into song, singing "we are at Disneyland in Paris" repeatedly.

Williams then cut to a lunch with her 9-month-old daughter while they both sported Minnie Mouse ears.

The trip comes three days after Williams pulled out of the 2018 French Open due to a pectoral injury. She was set to battle Maria Sharapova in the round of 16 before retiring. Williams was making her return to the Grand Slam circuit after giving birth last year.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion posted an update regarding her injury status Tuesday on Instagram, calling the ailment "incredibly frustrating." She also had an MRI, but has not disclosed the results.

A surgeon told UPI Tuesday that Williams could possibly be 100 percent healthy for Wimbledon in July, depending on the results of the MRI.
