Bonjour tout le monde, je suis allé a Disneyland Paris! Disneyland Paris, located 20 miles east of Paris, opened in 1992 and is the only Disney theme park in the European continent. I was curious to visit because I wanted to see the similarities and differences between these parks and the ones in California. (Back in California, I live ten minutes away from Disneyland). Disneyland Paris consists of two parks: Disneyland Park Paris and Walt Disney Studio Park. Disneyland Park has the classic Sleeping Beauty’s case (which was designed to contrast with the grey Parisian skies) and is divided into five zones: Adventureland, FrontierLand, Fantasyland, Discoverland, and Main Street USA. Walt Disney Studio Park, is designed to appear like a Hollywood movie studio, with production lots and sets, and also consists of Pixar and Marvel Universe zones. In addition, it has the original Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride.
