Advantages: Beautiful spectacular.

Disadvantages: Gets very busy.

DisneyLand Paris just seems to have everything. It really is a magical Kingdom of all sorts. You know those carnivals that in most places you get once a year? Well in Disney they are a million times better and happen mulitple times a day, they are free and everyone can come and enjoy them. That, in my opinion is what makes Disney so magical and amazing.

In Disney Parades are themed and what they are and what they look like varies for each season. At Christmas they have a lighting the castle pararde with fireworks, at Halloween they have a more scary parade, and in the summer they have a Tinkerbelles light parade. If you are planning on going it is always best to check the website to find out which one they are planning on doing, not that it matters they are all amazing.

Parades follow the same general theme. Moving vehicles with platforms on the back are shaped as themed houses or carriages which contain disney characters. For example on the Lion King vehicle it is shaped like a tree. The vehicles move very slowly so you have every chance to have a good look at them as they go past. In between vehicles are walking charcters, they normally do some kind of acting or dancing and sometimes even acrobatics. Walking charcters are quite happy to greet people and those on vehicles wave a lot!

The parade covers most of the park, and when it is on the park literally comes to a standstill. You cannot cross the parade, so do not attempt to move around the park. If you are not interested it is a good time to go on a busy ride. In peak times make sure you get to the front early as good parade spots fill up fast!

Summary: Has to be seen to be believed.
