If you haven’t you should make a point of visiting it the next time you go to Disneyland Paris. You can’t miss it because it is right next to the main Disneyland Park itself, and there is such a lot to see there you will be glad you made the time to see what’s what.

So what can you see when you get there?

Well the main difference with this location is that it is very different from the Disneyland Park next door. This is where you will find amazing attractions built around the process of actually creating the cartoons themselves. So if you have an interest in behind the scenes information you will love it.

Needless to say it is great for the whole family too and very much geared up to please everyone. There are four lots to explore when you arrive, including Production Courtyard, which will reveal how many of the animation effects are produced and created. There is a roller coaster ride here too so if you are looking for the big thrills you won’t go home disappointed.

The Studio Tram Tour is well worth taking too, and it will reveal many of the sets used to create unforgettable TV and movie scenes. You can be assured a few things will go ‘wrong’ (intentionally of course) on your way round and through this experience as well.

Of course Disney wouldn’t be Disney without a parade, and you’ll have the chance to see one of these when you visit the Studios Park. In addition you can visit some of the shows that are laid on regularly for visitors. Watch out for the separate shows on offer in each part of the Studios Park – most of the separate lots do have something to see there.

So as you can see, if you visit Disneyland Paris and you only see the one park, you’ll be missing out on half the story. And that means you’ll never learn the secrets of Disney movie making up close – which would be a real shame.

If you have ever visited Disneyland Paris before you will know that it defies description. If you have children it is one of the most exciting places you could ever hope to take them on holiday.

And thanks to a great deal on at the moment you can take them there without paying a penny for them as well.

You must book your break soon though, because you need to arrive on any date up to the 1st April to take advantage of this superb recession busting deal. The recession may technically be over but a lot of families will still be struggling to make sure they get the best value for money on their holiday. A short break to Disneyland Paris could be just what you need.

Your kids need to be under the age of twelve but provided you have an adult in each room you book for your break, all your kids can take advantage of getting into the Disneyland parks for no charge. This is an amazing deal and well worth taking advantage of.

And there is plenty to enjoy once you get there too. With lots of differently themed lands to explore inside Disneyland Paris and all the major Disney characters to meet as well, you can see why so many people choose it. And if budgeting is a problem you can always book your break to coincide with the tail end of the offer, so you have some time to save up your spending money.

It would be an early holiday in the year, but you can also time it to fall in the holiday periods for your schools. There is no doubt that a surprise break to Disneyland Paris will get the kids excited – not to mention the adults as well! There is something about the magic of Disney that never fails to reach everyone who experiences it.

So if you are starting to wonder where you could go on holiday this year, why not opt for Disneyland Paris? You may not have considered it before but as you can see, it is well worth giving it a try.

Wherever you would like to stay, you won’t have to worry. Disneyland Paris not only supplies great rides and activities for all the family to enjoy, they also supply some superb hotels for you to stay in.

The hotels in the area fall into two distinct groups. First you’ve got the Disney hotels themselves – all located right up close to the park so you won’t waste any time travelling to and from them every day. The flagship Disneyland Hotel is very close to the Magic Kingdom, but there are plenty more you can stay in as well.

Shop around too because while the Disneyland Hotel is generally the most expensive one of the lot, there are some great bargains to be had elsewhere. Try the Davy Crockett Ranch for example – these cabins are set in woodlands and have a real Davy Crockett feel to them. And of course you’ll get your admission to the parks included in your hotel stay as well. Just make sure you check what’s included and what isn’t before you make your booking – that way you will know what to expect.

There are other hotels you can consider as well. Most of them are themed in some way to get you in the right mood for Disneyland itself! For example do you fancy staying in a Big Top? Not literally of course but you will think you are if you opt for the Vienna International Magic Circus Hotel. Yes, there really is a hotel by that name nearby.

The thing to remember with staying in a hotel other than one of the Disney hotels is that it won’t be as close to the parks. Most of them have a shuttle service that will take you there each day, all included in the price, but it’s not a short walk as the Disney Hotels offer you. So make sure you know where you will be and what journey time to expect.

Wherever you choose to stay it’s going to be the start of a great time in Disneyland Paris. Are you ready for it?

When you decide to head over to Disneyland Paris, either for an extended holiday or just a long weekend away, you’ll be crossing over into another country for the duration of your trip.

But Disneyland Paris has four lands of its own ready and waiting to show you when you arrive. Of course there are the Main Street attractions as well, but make sure you head for these lands while you’re there:

• Fantasy Land
• Discovery Land
• Frontier Land
• Adventure Land

They’re all packed with plenty to keep you busy, and no doubt the kids will want to speed from one to the other so they don’t miss anything!

Discovery Land is where you will find the much loved Space Mountain. This is the piece de resistance of the whole place – so don’t miss it. It defies description but you will never forget trying it out.

Over in Fantasy Land there is the majestic and awe inspiring sight of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. Whatever age you might be, you’ll regress back to childhood and get the shivers at seeing this magical looking building. It’s really the icon and the logo of Disney itself.

Next, zoom over to Adventure Land and let the kids go wild in Adventure Isle. It’ll certainly wear them out for a more peaceful evening! Don’t miss the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction either – unlike some roller coasters and other rides that are merely a minute or two long, you’ll be enjoying this one for more than ten minutes.

Finally you’ve got Frontier Land. This is where you’ll find one of the most famous Disney Attractions of them all – Thunder Mountain. There are plenty of other attractions here too that will keep the whole family entertained.

You can see why most families choose to go for a long weekend when they want to head to Disneyland Paris. One day simply isn’t enough to see everything, and when there are so many great places to stay in overnight as well, why go home early?

Instead, make the most of every park and land you’ll find there. It’s truly a magical experience.

Disneyland Paris continues to celebrate its 15th birthday but while some kinds of celebrating have been going on for a while now-including, by popular demand, a major increase in the amount of public appearances by Disney characters-others haven't quite got off the ground yet. Toon Studios, including two rides unique to Paris, is set to open in June, and the Stitch Encounter, for those keen on a bit of animated alien interaction, should be ready still later in the year.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror will miss the birthday year altogether, finally scheduled to open in 2008 after construction work began in 2002.
