Disneyland Paris

If you are still in touch with your inner child, the holiday season festivities may bring about some warm and fuzzy feelings of magic and joy! On that note, allow me to share with you some of my pics from the happiest place on earth... oh wait -  make that the happiest place in France. ;)

Disneyland Paris is made up of two parks. The Disneyland Park is divided into five areas of different themes: Mainstreet U.S.A., Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland and Discoveryland. My personal favourite is Fantasyland, because of how pretty it is (yes, in fact I am in touch with my inner child!).

The classic merry-go-round.

This one is for the younger children! On the It's a small world attraction, you travel onboard a small boat, which takes you through a tunnel...

...and inside it there are pretty dolls that depict different ethnicities and nationalities from all around the globe.

 This is Frontierland....

 ...home of a Mexican fast food restaurant called Fuente del Oro. (Many years ago, I worked in this restaurant. Sadly, when I finally returned there ten years down the line, nobody who used to work there back when, was there any longer!)

This is the princess' castle. It is found at the very centre of the park.

 Adventureland, home of the brave!

Adventureland is the place to go if you want to get away from the crowds. In here, you can lose yourself amongst the adventurous scenic decor.

Inside Discoveryland, the Space Mountain is found. It is a roller coaster that journeys through darkness. Its destination: the moon!

Walt Disney Studios is Disneyland's other park, and one that I am less familiar with, since it did not exist back when I worked for Disneyland. All I can tell you is, you will need to count an extra day in, just to visit this!
