Section 1. Attractions at Disneyland in Paris. General information about the park
The world-famous animator in his interview once remarked that he loves Mickey Mouse walking around the park more than all his former and current women.
So what is it about this place, since it has been attracting both adults and young visitors from all over the world for more than 20 years?
The recreation area, which until 1994 was called Euro Disneyland, is a whole range of entertainment provided by Walt Disney Company. Today, the total area of the amusement park is 1943 ha.
The official opening took place in April 1992.
Based on personal experience, I would like to advise you to come here for a long time, especially if you decide to go on vacation with your children. In principle, foreigners and residents of nearby settlements do just that, staying at one of the many hotels in the park or renting an apartment. But an excursion to Paris can be ordered right there, on the spot. Thus, a pleasant pastime will be combined with a cultural holiday.

Do you like shopping? No problem. You can head to Main Street USA. It mainly consists of small but very cozy shops. Here, by the way, you can have a bite to eat: there are so many restaurants, cafes and bars that, it seems, you can try the delicacies of any cuisine in the world.
It should be noted that this street, built in the style of the 18-19th century, is often chosen for walks by avid lovers of American architecture and history.
By the way, do not expect that one of the days there will be few visitors in the park, and you can avoid huge lines. Crowds for Disneyland is a familiar occurrence.

Section 3. Attractions at Disneyland in Paris. How to get there
There is a fairly widespread opinion that the amusement park is located in the French capital itself. This is a mistake that costs many travelers precious time.
No matter how much you look at the map of Paris, you still can’t find the Disneyland marks on it. It is located 32 km east of the main city of the country, in a small but very cozy village called Marne-la-Val.
Those who want to save money and who are interested in a self-guided tour "Paris - Disneyland" would like to recommend using the red metro line, having previously purchased tickets directly to Disneyland.
There are two ways to pay for travel: at the entrance to a special machine or at the cashier, who can be contacted for help only if you have a good command of a foreign language, ideally, of course, French.
