Hello Mickey!

This is the first Disneyland Paris experience.

16 catches

Restaurant storefronts and an ornate facade make the commercial complex feel like a prologue [1]. Then the Disneyland Paris entrance supplies the formal beginning [2], followed by a broad paved gate plaza filled with visitors [3]. Deeper inside, a clock tower frames yet another opening in a themed square [4]. Arrival keeps restarting.

Daylight gives way to permanent evening

Inside, the scale begins to slide. A children’s car-themed ride keeps the action small and outdoors [5], while hanging lanterns make a teacup-style boat ride feel more theatrical [7]. The sharpest shift comes in a crowded indoor plaza dressed as a street at night [6]: daylight outside, permanent evening within.

The scenery finally slows down

It is all interesting but not all fun, queues and systematic way to get ahead is the way to go around the best shows. Do your research.

Three days later, the last image leaves the plazas behind. A boat follows a landscaped canal past greenery and rock formations [8]. After so many entrances and staged streets, there is finally nothing else to cross.

After all, you will want to come back here again, It is Mickey who is waiting for you.
