Marne-la-Vallée Favorites

Favorite thing: Name: Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Opening: January 2008

This ride will be the same as the one in Disney's California Adventure. The one in Orlando is slightly different.

From all the thrill rides I did in one of the Disneylands, the Tower of Terror is ansolutely the best!!!
For more info: visit DCA or check my homepage.

The picture shows the tower on 2006 January 2th.

Favorite thing: Magical! Step into the tales of thousand and one nights. This part of the park is much more enchanting as dusk falls.
Notice that at the time the night pararade is going out, you wont be able to cross Central Plaza anymore until the parade has passed.

Favorite thing: this was the best part of the visit, a Disney autograph book filled with character`s autographs is a great souvenir for your little ones, and what fun to see that the characters behave off screen just as they do onscreen,
petulant King John from Robin Hood was the funniest, he was trying so hard to be imperial but just resmbled a spoilt child, Tweedledum`s use of our grandsons pen to pick his nose made our little ones giggle, and poor Eeyore, of course you cant have his autograph, for he has no fingers, so all you can have is a hug

you may have to queue for a very very long time to meet the most popular characters such as the Disney Princesses, Mickey Mose, Winnie the Pooh and Donald Duck, our grandsons favourite Disney character is Donald Duck so he was the only one we queued for, and it was worth every cold damp minute to us to see him getting his wish

Favorite thing: this was our daughter`s must-see thing, there are shows throughout the day in English and in French and the tickets for the show are given out at the train station in Discoveryworld, check your park map for times, you will need a ticket as this show is very popular

we all enjoyed the show immensely, it is a very condensed version of the popular Lion King show currently running in London`s theatreland, you are allowed to take photographs without flash only

Favorite thing: this is a really charming ride, take your seat in a small galleon and then fly through the air over London and onto Never Never land, passing by scenes from the Peter Pan film, we all enjoyed this ride immensely
there may be long queues for this ride, so use the Fast Pass system to avoid having to wait in line for long

Favorite thing: If car chases and stunt action are your thing then you`ll love this show, and you get a great insight into how stunts are staged and edited into films

there is also a chance for audience participation, our son became a film extra for the show and had to be shot at by a sniper, I suspect he was a little disappointed not to have been given a stunt car to drive, but the staff have obviously heard about his driving skills and wouldnt allow him behind the wheel

you need to get here 30 minutes before the show starts especially at peak times, and the show lasts about 35 minutes, check the park map for show times

Favorite thing: Oh how OTT is this gentle ride.... its ubelievably CUTE and ends just before you get sick of the saccharine sweet little people, but the music.... AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHH its a real ear worm, you`ll hear it all day, and for many days to come, its playing in my head right now as I write

da da da dee dee, da da da dum dum, da da DEE DEE DEE da da DUM DUM DUM.......

this is a lovely, gentle float through a miniature woirld, forget the glaring discrepancies like the Maori with the kangaroo and boomerang, and just enjoy

Fondest memory: if you are nearby as the hour strikes look out for the clock chimimg and the procession of small figures moving around

Favorite thing: This is a real must see, but it may be a touch scarey for little ones,
Imagine yourself in a big disaster movie, or better still imagine yourself in a real space craft during a meteor storm, theres a big crash.... your ship had been badly hit ! smoke, flames, collapsing walls you really feel that its all happening, it gives you a real adrenaline buzz

the craft shown here which is outside the Armageddon building is a copy of the one used in the film
