Creating The Best Disney Itinerary

Who doesn't adore Disney in all its forms? Children and adults alike. The brand is the epitome of fun, laughter and magic. When you are on holiday even if you don't have kids you can add a little Disney itinerary magic to your trip. Continue reading to find out what is available.

Obviously your first stop will be Disneyland, Paris. This is the busiest European amusement park. When it was opened in 1992 it was named Euro-Disney but this was changed officially anyway). The theme park is only 32 kilometres outside Paris and can be easily reached on Eurostar. You can find some great packages for the train, hotel and park. At the park there is so much to do, an overnight stay in a resort hotel may be essential.

The resort has horse-drawn carriages, Thunder Mountain, you can visit Alice in Wonderland, see Buzz Lightyear and Dumbo, go on some rather hair-raising rides AND meet all your favourite characters as they wander through the park. All topped off by parades and fireworks. In fact, the organisation is the second largest purchaser of explosives; coming second to the US military. What more could you possibly want from a resort?

The winter in the UK and Europe always brings a new Disney on Ice. Watch popular characters from favourite movies dance and sing to familiar tunes. Each show has a theme, and following the film success this year was Frozen, with Olav the loveable snowman, Ana and Else dancing and singing to Do you Wanna Build a Snowman, and In the First Time in Forever. Although you are in an ice-rick you will soon be warmed by the nostalgia and magic that Disney is famous for.

Why not break up your day touring by stopping for lunch at the Disney Cafe, on the fourth floor at Harrods in Knightsbridge. The menu includes cream tea, cakes, ice-cream or as would be expected Mickey Mouse toasties. Even the decor is themed, with Mickey chairs and princesses on the wall. Remember it is Harrods so expensive but it is cute and a justifiable treat.

Still in central London, all of your little ones will want to visit the Disney store. Whilst there are lots of smaller stores throughout the UK and Europe the biggest one in Europe can be found in Oxford Street, just a small bus ride from Harrods. Here you can buy DVDs, costumes, plushies, watches, collectables; in fact if they can brand it and package it you will find it here. Whilst you shop you will have movie tunes playing and of course, the cast members (staff) are there to help ensure your experience is a fun (and expensive) one.

There is no better way of rounding off a Disney-esque weekend is to go to the movies to see their latest offering. Amidst much horror in 2009, Marvel Comics was bought by the organisation and fans were afraid the Marvel franchise would be made into sugary sweet characters. The first film to be produced based on Marvel is Hero 6, and is in the cinema now.

Hiro, a young boy and his larger than life inflatable robot Baymax join friends to become super heroes. With lovely scenery and charming interaction between the boy and the robot this is a great end to your magical trip.
