Who doesn't adore Disney in all its forms? Children and adults alike. The brand is the epitome of fun, laughter and magic. When you are on holiday even if you don't have kids you can add a little Disney itinerary magic to your trip. Continue reading to find out what is available.
The most visited theme park in Europe is obviously Disneyland, Paris, which when it opened in the 1990s was called Euro-Disney. It is situated 32 kilometres east of Paris and it is easy to reach via Eurostar. There are often excellent deals available for the train as well as packages. Once you are there you will have enough to keep you busy for the entire day, two if you stay over in one of the on-site hotels.
The resort has horse-drawn carriages, Thunder Mountain, you can visit Alice in Wonderland, see Buzz Lightyear and Dumbo, go on some rather hair-raising rides AND meet all your favourite characters as they wander through the park. All topped off by parades and fireworks. In fact, the organisation is the second largest purchaser of explosives; coming second to the US military. What more could you possibly want from a resort?
A winter visit to the UK, USA, or Europe will inevitably tie in with the spectacular which is Disney on Ice. This themed show has characters from popular Disney animation taking to the ice surrounded by colour, music and magic. Every year there is a new theme, with this year's theme being Frozen. A chance to join Elsa, Ana, and cute little Olav dancing to Let it Go and Do you Wanna Build a Snowman. Remember you are in an ice-rink you wear warm clothes until you are warmed by the love and magic surrounding you.
Why not break up your day touring by stopping for lunch at the Disney Cafe, on the fourth floor at Harrods in Knightsbridge. The menu includes cream tea, cakes, ice-cream or as would be expected Mickey Mouse toasties. Even the decor is themed, with Mickey chairs and princesses on the wall. Remember it is Harrods so expensive but it is cute and a justifiable treat.
Remaining in London, it is a must to go to the Disney store. There are numerous smaller franchise stores in Britain and Europe but the biggest by far, in fact the biggest in Europe is on Oxford Street, only a short bus trip from Knightsbridge. Here they sell DVDs, fancy dress costumes, every plushie you could ever want, watches and collectables; in fact if it is possible to brand and package it the company have included it in the store with a background of catchy music and over-excited cast members (staff members). Just remember your wallet.
There is no better way of rounding off a Disney-esque weekend is to go to the movies to see their latest offering. Amidst much horror in 2009, Marvel Comics was bought by the organisation and fans were afraid the Marvel franchise would be made into sugary sweet characters. The first film to be produced based on Marvel is Hero 6, and is in the cinema now.
It is a story of a young boy, Hiro and an over-size inflatable robot, Baymax. Hiro and his friends join Baymax to form a group of super heroes. An enchanting good versus evil movie, with some beautiful scenery and amusing interaction between Baymax and Hiro. What a wonderful end to a magical weekend in Europe!
