First time at Disney! While Disneyland is already fun on its own, I came here to visit the Sequoia Lodge at Disneyland Paris. We met with a guest speaker who was the general manager at Sequoia Lodge and learned about attractions & destination marketing. Before the visit, we were given a reading how Disneyland Paris is not able to keep up with other Disneys in the world because it does not connect with their demographics as much as Disneyland Tokyo or the ones in the States. Coincidently, it was the 40th anniversary of Disneyland Paris which made it even more magical for my first time at Disney Park.
