Everyone has a positive opinion or memory about Disney, whether it be a film, toy or song. And it's not only children. To think of the brand brings a smile to the face, as it is about is magic and most of all fun. When travelling why not include some Disney itinerary to your journey; even if you are not travelling with your kids. See below for details of the possibilities for a magical trip to remember.
The first place to stop is obviously Disneyland, situated some 32 kilometres east of Paris. Unsurprisingly this is the most visited amusement park in Europe. It was opened to the public in 1992 and was aptly named Euro-Disney but this was changed. The park is easily accessible on Eurostar and there are lots of package options for transportation, hotel and resort tickets.
In addition to meeting and hanging out with all your favourite characters you can travel by horse-drawn carriage, ride on Thunder Mountain, visit Alice in Wonderland, help Buzz Lightyear and fly with Dumbo and ride terrifying rides. At the end of the day there is a parade and loads of fireworks. The company are the second largest purchasers of explosives all to add to the magic. There really is nothing more you could want from a resort.
If you are visiting England or Europe in the winter there is usually a performance of Disney on Ice, where numerous characters from famous movies take to the ice in a musical and light bonanza. Each year they are themed, with this year's being, as you would expect, a Frozen theme. No doubt there was a wonderful rendition of Let it Go with Ana, Elsa and Olav stealing the show. Wrap up warm and prepare to sing you little heart out.
After a day of touring and singing catchy tunes, you will want to sit down for a cup of tea and where better than the Disney Cafe, Harrods? Set on the fourth floor of this exclusive store, you can have tea and cakes, knickerbocker glories or the obligatory Mickey shaped toasties. Even the chairs have Mickey ears on the back. Obviously as it is Harrods it is not cheap but very cute and just right for a treat.
Still in central London, all of your little ones will want to visit the Disney store. Whilst there are lots of smaller stores throughout the UK and Europe the biggest one in Europe can be found in Oxford Street, just a small bus ride from Harrods. Here you can buy DVDs, costumes, plushies, watches, collectables; in fact if they can brand it and package it you will find it here. Whilst you shop you will have movie tunes playing and of course, the cast members (staff) are there to help ensure your experience is a fun (and expensive) one.
The ideal way of ending a busy themed weekend is to watch the latest animated movie, Hero 6. This is the heart-warming tale of Hiro and a large balloon-like robot, Baymax. They join a group of chums to be crime-fighting heroes.
This is the first animated production to transpire from the 2009 buy-out of Marvel Comics, and it has been eagerly awaited. The animation is beautiful and the scenes are heart-warming between the lead character, Hiro, and Baymax and a perfect end to a perfect weekend.
