Basic Moments
Disneyland Paris is a fairy tale world where all visitors, regardless of age, briefly return to childhood! Moreover, a feeling of magic arises from the first minutes of being in it, because even the central portal of Disneyland is a real French castle in pink tones, with decorations in the form of elegant turrets and funny figures. From it to the Palace of the Sleeping Beauty stretches the central street, which is an exact copy of the American provincial street of the beginning of the 20th century and is called the Main. Life is constantly in full swing on it: trade is brisk in souvenir shops, hamburgers are instantly sold out in eateries, country music sounds from cafes and restaurants!

Structure of Disneyland Paris
Disneyland Paris is divided into five parts, each with its own theme.

Young explorers, in order to show all the facets of their abilities, must visit Adventureland. An indestructible craving for treasure hunting can be satisfied on an island of adventure with numerous caves and grottoes or in a pavilion called "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the thirst for knowledge can be easily quenched by going to visit Indiana Jones. A sprawling tree looks very lively here - on its branches the dwelling of the famous Robinson Crusoe is compactly located, and the oriental bazaar, along the rows of which the living Aladdin roams, is distinguished by the specific color of Arab fairy tales.
