| Plans to build a Disney park in Europe were first | | | | but our favourite place to eat was the Cowboy |
| discussed in the 1970's, yet construction did not | | | | Cookout, which is in a barn and they had a |
| begin until the 1980's at the location just outside | | | | country music band playing at the time, while we |
| of Paris and it was first opened in 1992. | | | | were eating our BBQ chicken! |
| It did not have that instant success the owners | | | | But Disneyland Paris has expanded so much since |

| Disneyland Paris Resort has become one of the | | | | enjoy everything, so staying at one of the |
| most popular holiday destinations throughout | | | | themed hotels can be a great experience in itself |

| When it comes to the themed areas, we found | | | | great deals available at all different times of the |
| the Fantasy Land with the Disney characters such | | | | year including deals such as children under 7 going |
| as Snow White and Mickey Mouse was a highlight | | | | free, an extra night for the same cost, etc, so |
| for the young children especially the girls, but the | | | | you do not really need to have large pockets, |
| boys loved Frontier Land, which has a Wild West | | | | although do make sure you have enough spending |
| theme and it even brought back childhood | | | | money for all of those gifts, souvenirs, food and |
| memories of playing Cowboys and Indians for the | | | | extras that you know the children keep begging |
