Let's Tell A Story

Disneyland Paris can be one of the most peaceful of all the Disney Parks, especially on quiet evenings or during parades. It can also be very busy! But there are many rides and nooks-and-crannies of the park where you can really feel away from it all.

One of my favourite peaceful attractions is the Storybook Land canal boats - more locally known as Le Pays Des Contes de Fées. Unless it's raining, that is! You may know that there is another Storybook Land Canal Boats attraction in Disneyland, California, which uses guides to take you round the canal. In Paris, however, the boats are guide-less, and tour the different, mainly European, fairy tales magically.

There are 16 different boats, with each boat holding around 16 guests. The ride lasts around 5 minutes, and takes you through the following different stories:

• Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs
• Hansel & Gretel
• The Little Mermaid
• Fantasia
• Peter and the Wolf

• Pinocchio
• Rapunzel
• Fantasia's "Night on Bald Mountain"
• Sword in the Stone
• Beauty & The Beast
• Return to Oz
