Advantages: Great Atmosphere and rides

Disadvantages: Very popular with young kids so be prepared to queue

Fantasyland in Disneyland Paris was the fourth Fantasyland that opened. The theme as you may guess from the name is that of fantasy, it is based around a fairytale European village similar to those found in Disney films such as Beauty and the Beast.
Fantasyland is my favourite land in the park. For me it has the really magical atmosphere, full of kids having fun. Its an ideal land for families with young children as all of the rides either have no height restriction or a very small height restriction. It also has some of the more iconic rides in the park.
Unlike in Florida Fantasyland in the Disneyland park has a stop of the Railroad that goes around the park - making it easy to get to without too much walking.
It has many of the signature attractions found in the other disney parks around the world. Such as 'Dumbo the flying elephant' which is always a good favorite with young children. It also has the Mad Hatter's tea cups - im not a fan of spinning rides like this - especially after lunch but it always seems to be popular. Peter Pan's flight is one of my favorites - especially if you have kids. You board a pirate ship and fly off to neverland, traveling over some famous scenes from the movie. Of course it wouldn't be fantasyland without "it's a small world". This is a boat ride that has the most annoyingly catchy song ever! You basically go through different rooms on this large boat, it has lots of characters from around the world dressed in native clothing e.g Scottish wearing kilts etc. The characters are all singing this song the whole way around the ride and you'll find you'll have it stuck in your head by the end of the day. Fantasyland also has some of its own attractions such as Alice's curious Labyrinth and Dragon's Lair.
You will also find a wide variety of eating places in Fantasyland so there is bound to be something that will please everyone. From Toad Hall restaurant to Bella Notte Pizza (based on Lady and the Tramp!). As with all of the lands in this park there is also a selection of shops to buy your souvenirs. You can pick up some really nice things but they are typical theme park prices!
As I said before Fantasyland is my favourite land in the Disneyland park - its full of that Disney Magic and it just has that wonderful atmosphere.

Summary: My favourite land in the park!
