PROLOGUE

I used to think the Disneyland was only for kids, that an adult can hardly find there anything amusing or impressive. But now I know I was totally wrong. After I visited this Wonderland I’m perfectly sure there’s nothing like Disneyland. This is a place where the adults return to their childhood, smile and forget about all the troubles and problems of the world. No kidding.

HOW TO GET

The easiest way is to go there by the Metro. Take RER A4. Marne-la-Vallee is your point of destination.

THE PARKS

The Disneyland consists of the Disneyland Park and the Walt Disney Studios. Disneyland Park is a theme 138 acre park. It’s divided into five Lands: Main Street USA, Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland and Discoveryland. Disney have ensured that nothing is left to chance. From the smallest detail in planning to the largest construction everything is made to the highest degree of accuracy.

The Walt Disney Studio is devoted to the relationships with the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio. Here everything is connected with the movies, one can see how the thrillers are shot, to look at the work of the costumiers and to feel the atmosphere of a real cinema.

Main Street USA represents the American town of the beginning of the 20th century. The streets traffic is made of horse-drawn rail cars, old double-decker buses, an antique fire engine, a Keystone-cop style paddy wagon and a vintage car which together tell the story of the transport evolution. It’s a functioning transport system, which plies between the Town Square and the Central Plaza. A nice train departs from the Main Street Station every 10 minutes. It stops in another park zones but some stations are so crowded that one should better take a walk.

Frontierland is the first street away from the Central Plaza. This zone reminds of the America’s Wild West. The visitors get here through the wooden gates of Fort Comstock. If you are not that timorous, ride the roller coaster that begins from the Big Thunder Mountain or pop into Phantom Manor.

Adventureland gives you an opportunity to live a life of a real pirate. After «Pirates Of The Caribbean» hit the screens this ride became particularly popular. You feel as if you were really a pirate! Smashing special effects! During the ride you are photographed. When leaving you can buy your photo. This show is no less impressive;-)

Fantasyland will be certainly admired by the youngest offsprings. This is a magical zone full of fairies and enchanting creatures. One can find the first ever rides of Walt’s, «It’s A Small World». Your kid will certainly appreciate a traveling in little boats through several lands of animated figures all singing «It’s a small world».

Discoveryland is dedicated to man’s technological achievements and dreams. You will believe a person can really travel through Space and Time. This zone celebrates such persons like Jules Verne, Leonardo Da Vinci and Herbert Wells. Don’t miss the «Space Mountain». The craziest ride one can imagine! The attraction is very popular, that’s why long queues are a must. By nightfall the chances to get there become higher.

Good luck and enjoy your visit to Paris!

You can spend one day at each of the four Disney parks, or you can stay for ten days and buy “park hopper” Disney World tickets to move freely between parks for the entire duration of your stay. There are various options for your Disney vacation, but the first step to planning your trip is deciding upon a budget and examining what each Disneyworld park has to offer!
For starters, you’ll want to buy tickets for the Magic Kingdom which is comprised of several distinct lands: Main Street USA, Mickey’s Toon Town Fair, Adventureland, Frontierland, Tomorrowland, Fantasyland and Liberty Square. Magic Kingdom was the first of the Disney parks that opened in 1971.
You’ll know it by Cinderella’s breathtaking castle, which makes for an ideal tourist photo spot. Adventureland takes you from pirate ships on the Caribbean seas to jungle cruises down the Amazon.
Frontierland takes you back to the Wild West, into saloons and on train rides. Liberty Square brings you the famous Haunted Mansion and Hall of Presidents attractions. Toon Town Fair has attractions for young children, as does Fantasyland, which is set up like a medieval carnival fair mostly geared toward children who love Peter Pan, Dumbo and Snow White. Tomorrowland is an intergalactic convention center with some rides geared toward thrill-seekers.
“The World you have entered was created by The Walt Disney Company and is dedicated to Hollywood, not the place on the map, but a state of mind that exists wherever people dream and wonder and imagine a place where illusion and reality are fused by technological magic. We welcome you to a Hollywood that never was-and always will be,” said entertainment executive Michael Eisner. Disney MGM Studios has recently been renamed Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Your Hollywood Studios tickets will be worth the money for the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, the Backlot Tour and Great Movie Ride, but there are six themed areas to explore. You can experience rides and shows themed around Star Wars, Indiana Jones, the Muppets, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Beauty and the Beast and more. For rollercoaster and thrill ride enthusiasts, don’t miss the Tower of Terror or Aerosmith’s Rock N Rollercoaster!
The Disney Animal Kingdom is the newest park, which opened in 1998. This 500-acre conservation park houses many animals that meander freely behind well-covered boundaries.
You can see wallabies, antelope, monkeys, hippos, giraffes, lions and many other animal species on your safari. Kids will especially love DinoLand. The DINOSAUR adventure ride, Bug’s Life 3-D show, Kilimanjaro Safari and Kali River Rapids are especially memorable.
Entrepreneur Michael Eisner describes, “Welcome to a kingdom of animals… real, ancient and imagined: a kingdom ruled by lions, dinosaurs and dragons; a kingdom of balance, harmony and survival; a kingdom we enter to share in the wonder, gaze at the beauty, thrill at the drama, and learn.”
Disneyland California is a stark contrast from Disney World Orlando. California’s park was the original design, so you’d miss out on Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot, which is Disney’s futuristic world showcase park. Epcot, characterized by the “big golf ball” ride, is a must-see for anyone looking into Disney World tickets!
You can visit pavilions from eleven different countries, each with rides, entertaining shows, gifts, food, costumes and culture. Epcot is a celebration of human advancement and culture that can’t be missed! Older guests often say they could spend the entire week at Epcot alone, as there is much to see, eat and do!

You’ll find that smiles never fade and the laughter never stops as Disney World Orlando. Also, with the many vacation planning options and resort guest benefits, all the stress is taken out of the trip, allowing you to just have fun.
