'Disney's Once Upon A Dream'. Disneyland Resort Paris.






Managed to return to the Disneyland Resort Paris for the first time in 8 years recently. As you are no doubt aware, it's come in for it's fair share of criticism over the years. Despite turning an annual profit of $15m. It is also by some considerable distance the most popular tourist attraction in Europe.






It also has some pretty well co-ordinated parades. I managed to get a few snippets. Including a video of the opening of the 'Disney Dance Express' (before my camera sadly quit on me :( ).




It's perhaps not as coherent as some of it's transatlantic counterparts, and the constant switching between French and English in simulataneous dialogue during songs is somewhat tedious. But on the flip side the parades seem well rehearsed, imaginative, and well... Fun!!




The Disney Dance express is a lot of fun. It is modelled on the 'Move it, Shake it, Celebrate it!' parade that premiered at Magic Kingdom in the 'Celebrate' themed year. Not as hands on as MiSiCi, but still a lot of fun and definitely worth a peek.



Below is a link to my Flickr account, where you will be able to see some snaps from the 'Once Upon a Dream' Parade:
