The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure opened in Disney California Adventure in June 2011 with in December 2o12 in the Magic Kingdom, as part of the "New Fantasyland" expansion.  Based on the Disneyland attraction "Storybook Land Canal Boats", Le Pays des Contes de Fées takes guests on a ride past miniature scenes from classic Disney films. As at Disneyland, the miniatures can also be viewed from Casey Jr - le Petit Train du Cirque, however note that the French train moves much faster than the American version. Neither the boat or the train ride feature a narration. Scenes currently featured include Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Babes in the Woods, Tangled, The Old Mill, The Little Mermaid, Fantasia, Peter and the Wolf, Aladdin, The Sword in the Stone, Beauty and the Beast and The Wizard of Oz/Return to Oz.  The New Generation Festival ran at Disneyland Paris for a year from April 2010 and celebrated newer additions to the Disney/Pixar family, such as Toy Story, the Princess & the Frog and Ratatouille. Tiana and Naveen joined the Disney's Once Upon A Dream Parade whilst over in Wakt Disney Studios, Remy and his brother Emile were added to Disney's Stars'n'Cars. Toy Story Playland subsequently opened in August 2010.  Toy Story Playland opened in Walt Disney Studios Park, Disneyland Paris during the New Generation Festival. The area features three rides - Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop, Slinky Dog ZigZag Spin and RC Racer. Whilst a much smaller area than the version which opened in Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2018, there are many hidden details to look out for as explained in the official Disneyland Paris video below.  La Place de Rémy opened in Walt Disney Studios Park, Disneyland Paris in summer 2014 and features the hugely popular 4D trackless attraction, Ratatouille: The Adventure. The ride's exit takes you past Bistrot Chez Rémy which, of course, serves ratatouille!  "it's a small world" was originally created for the UNICEF pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair and opened at Disneyland in 1966. For a history of the attraction, check out FreshBaked's video "Disneyland Secrets and History of it's a small world".  Disney Stars on Parade debuted at Disneyland Paris in March 2017 as part of the park's 25 anniversary celebrations. Unlike its predecessor, Disney Magic on Parade, it consists of all new flats to the resort. There are some familiar faces, however - the Lion King and Peter Pan floats were recycled from Tokyo Disneyland's "Jubilation" parade, together with a replica of the hugely popular Maleficent fire-breathing dragon from Walt Disney World.  .Pirates of the Caribbean opened in Disneyland in 1967 and was the last attraction to be overseen by Walt Disney, although he sadly died before it opened. Versions of the ride can now also be found at the Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. The attraction has seen numerous changes over the decades, most notably the introduction of characters from the Pirates of the Caribbean films and the 2018 update transforming the popular red head in the auction scene into a pirate. For a detailed history of the original attraction, check out David O'Neal's feature length documentary. I also recommend FreshBaked's "Secrets and History of Pirates of the Caribbean" and Park History's "The Differences between Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean".  Disneyland Paris Galaxy's Edge is due to open at Disneyland in the summer of 2019 but in the meantime, an assortment of props and costumes can be found at the Launch Bay in Tomorrowland, alongside character meet and greets.  |
