PARIS 2e

"Infotainment? What the hell are you talking about?"


D'Isigny Land Paris

When Paris goes on strike, we go to see the laughter of children when they spot Mickey Mouse for their first time (just before fainting) in Disneyland Paris. What else to do on such a sunny day?

No tourist pics here! I prefer to see skin for skin's sake.

I hope that by looking at this, you'll have the nervebreaking song from this ride in your head for the next seven hours.

    Great non tourist pictures of D'isigny land Paris, also great play on words. I think the castle in Euro disney is way better than the original in Anaheim, I mean come on, it has a dragon and everything!

    Bonjour! Cedric,
    What very interesting and very beautiful photographs of the happenigs at Euro 'D'lsigny Land in Paris.
    Being a Hitchcock "fan"atic I especially, like the replica of Norman Bates and his "mother" house.
    Once again, Tks, for sharing!

    Merci!
    Dcd ;-D

    Does Paris Disney have the 'space mountain' enclosed coaster ride? It is the only thing I ride when I go to Disney Orlando -- it's in the dark with strobe lights and deep drops LOVE IT!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Oh thanks, yes I do have the SONG stuck in my head now.. it's a small world after all - really?!! Best, not small Ani

    I remember that song ! After more than 10 !!! years....
    We should visit DLP again pretty soon... I saw it in Winter, lovely and I loved the Caroll Singers...

    cool. but how many time you have been here? :D or this was your first time?
    I cannot wait to be in there!!

    I love DLP. We were there this past Nov. It was bloody cold, but we still had fun. Sadly (NOT) for us Small World was closed for renos. It broke my heart. Truly. Ds freaking loves that ride. I think we've ridden it 875,296 times.
    I love the Liberty Arcade (because it's never full and an easy way to get down Main Street). The pictures of what the future will look like always make me smile. And the dragon under the castle is awesome.

    Thank you for bringing me back to Disneyland Paris. It is so much nicer than California and Florida. Space Mountain in Paris is amazing. I had the great luck to be there twice.

    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
