Disneyland, Paris: Là où les rêves deviennent réalité (Part 2)


Actually, it's not really Disneyland, Paris.
But, it should theoretically be, Disneyland, Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy, France.
It is located out of Paris, where the suburbs are.
Tickets for the trains out of Paris cost 12.50Euros each.
The whole journey took around 30mins.


I think Disneyland, Paris is bigger than Disneyland, Tokyo.
The former consists of Disney Village, Walt Disney Studios, Disneyland Park and Disneyland Hotel all in one big place.
It's impossible to find land for all these in Paris itself.
Paris can't afford to do that.


-Main entrance area before entering the town square-

We booked our tickets via Internet, which was sent to our residential address prior to the date of our arrival to the theme park.
It cost 35Euros per ticket.
However, if you didn't book your tickets via the Internet and purchase it on the day itself at the ticket counters when you reach the theme park, lo and behold, it will cost you 56Euros per ticket.

(1Euro = SGD2 approximately)

-Every child's dream-

The feeling was indescribable.
It's as if those familiar houses and characters you've read about popped up into real-life sizes.
From shops selling cookies, breads, clothes, books, games, toys, etc were all in nice candy houses.
With those shop owners dressed up in their periodical costumes to make everything seems so "fairytale".



I was walking out there, on this street, walking into a trance of magic.
