Fantasyland is home to the magical rides that the younger kids know and love. These attractions are very popular so the lines tend to be long, but the wait is sometimes shorter while people are watching the afternoon parade. It's a good idea to miss the parade one-day and visit Fantasyland instead.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant

This was one of Beth's favourite rides in Paris because just like the star of the movie Dumbo these elephants know how to fly. They take you on a short ride of about two minutes high above Fantasyworld.
A button lets you control the up and down movement of the elephant allowing you to pilot Dumbo through the sky yourself.
The lines for this ride tend to be long, but if you don't have to wait too long it's a fun ride, more for the younger kids aged three to eight, but also fun for groovy Dads with smashing legs.

Cinderella's Golden Carousel

Definitely Beth's favourite ride. You gallop around and around on one of the 90 handmade wooden horses whilst listening to such groovy Disney songs as 'Zip a Dee Doo-Dah', 'When you wish upon a star' and 'Be Our Guest'. You can never be too old for a carousel.

The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh

A silly old bear named Winnie the Pooh and his pink pal Piglet take you on a magical journey into the storybook pages of the Hundred Acre Wood in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. A heartwarming tale about Beth's favourite playmate and his friends combines memorable music, surprising illusions and fun for the whole family.
You hop aboard a golden "hunny pot" and travel through a Blustery Day as howling winds stir up a whirlwind of adventure as Owl's house is blown down, Piglet is swept into the groaning gusts and baby Roo swings from his tethered scarf like a kite in the wind. Despite the windward weather, Pooh is "bearly" bothered and continues with his quest for honey.
Nighttime then descends upon the Hundred-Acre Wood and hoo, hoo, hoo else but Tigger springs into the adventure with a bouncy, trouncy, flouncy game of hide and seek. The hunny pots bounce along the darkened path chasing a topsy-turvy Tigger to our favourite tune "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers".
The bouncefest leads to Pooh's house where he stands guard over his prized honey into the early hours of the night. The weary bear drifts off to sleep and dreams of the dreaded honey-stealing Heffalumps and Woozles as wacky glowing creatures surround your hunny pots as you drift through a silly dreamscape full of song and surprise.
As the story unfolds squall showers swell into a storm and your hunny pot bobs swiftly along on the rising waters and swirling whirlpools as the Hundred-Acre Wood is transformed to a floody place. Eeyore, Roo, Kanga, Rabbit, Owl and Tigger form a rescue party to save Piglet from falling over Floody Place Falls.
Meanwhile Pooh has taken advantage of the rising waters to reach the top of the honey tree. A happily ever after ending features a hero's party, a colourful rainbow and the whole gang safe in the Hundred-Acre Wood ready for another adventure with Christopher Robin.

Ariel's Grotto

There is a mysterious blue grotto tucked away just behind the Dumbo ride. Inside Ariel, the star of the Little Mermaid is waiting in her grotto to meet you. Don't forget your camera and autograph book.
Out front there are some water fountains to play with so it's a great place to get wet when the sun gets too hot.

Mad Tea Party

The Mad Hatter puts you in a spin as you're sent twirling in over-sized teacups, straight out of the un-birthday party scene from Alice in Wonderland. You control how fast your cup spins by turning the big wheel in the centre. Beth didn't like this ride in Paris because it was too noisy.

Peter Pan's Flight

I thought this was the best ride in Disneyland Paris. You board Captain Hook's flying ship and sail through the sky through scenes that tell the story of how Wendy, Michael and John get sprinkled with pixie dust and fly from London to Neverland with Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.
Along the way you encounter Princess Tigerlily and meet up with the evil Captain Hook and his sidekick Mr. Smee, who are up to no good.
Near the beginning of the trip there is a scene from London at night where the cars on the streets really move and the streets have lights running along them. Later on watch out for the Crocodile who is trying to eat Captain Hook, along with his rowing boat.
If Peter Pan is as good as the ride in Disneyland Paris it will be groovy baby

It's A Small World

The most annoying song in the whole world accompanies you as you take a slow boat ride through several large rooms where hundreds of dolls represent children from nations all over the world. There are Greek dancers, Japanese kite flyers, Scottish bagpipers, singers, dancers, soldiers and many more. There are even animals from different parts of the globe, all set to the inane elevator music of "It's a Small World".

Snow White's Scary Adventures

This ride takes you through scenes from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Some scenes are sweet while others are a 'bit' scary. It is a very dark ride and the wicked Queen seems to be around every corner, dressed as the witch. (The dwarfs don't show up much).
They say this version of the ride may be better as the wicked Queen has taken a back seat, allowing Snow White to claim her place as 'The fairest of them all'.

Legend of the Lion King

Continuous 25-minute shows (Monday to Friday from 9.20AM to 8.10PM, Saturday/Sunday from 9.20AM to 9.20PM.
Disney's hit movie comes roaring to life on stage with Simba, Pumbaa, Timon and all your favourite jungle friends. The show includes life-size puppets, animation, music and special effects.
When the sun rises over Pride Rock, Mufasa and Simba make their big entrance. As the story continues the other characters act out parts of the movie. Special effects like water mists and wind make the theatre seem like a jungle, the room even rumbles during the stampede scene.
