Hidden Corners of Disneyland Paris

There are so many little hidden gems within Disneyland Paris! Those talented Imagineers filled the lands with walk through experiences and corners to explore that are just off the wide paths to major attractions such as Pirates of the Caribbean,  the Jules Verne inspired Space Mountain, a new take on the Haunted Mansion with Phantom Manor, or the most elegant of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad attractions. 

It is to their credit that they were able to build a "Best of Disney" castle park and still make the park stunningly unique, charming, and filled with impressive variations of these beloved time-honored attractions. 

In Adventureland, the beautiful Le Passage Enchanté d'Aladdin is very easy to look past and not even notice its existence. But its very worth the effort! Yes, it is a small series of static displays telling the tale of Aladdin, but it is often quiet and unnoticed, leaving guests who do venture into its hallways a chance for a quiet respite and a charming old school Disney attraction- one of the smaller touches that is found lacking in other castle parks like Florida's Magic Kingdom. Of course, that is what you get when you have a park with a hand picked team led by beloved Imagineer Tony Baxter! A park that is also beautiful and so rich in layers of detail and varied experiences, that it stands alone as the most beautiful castle park of all.

Each of the lands in Disneyland Paris has its own version of a smaller walk through attraction and many hidden corners to explore. Fans of Imagineering at its best must visit Paris to get to experience a park that may be on par with Tokyo Disneysea. Yes, it is a worthy companion and an apt comparison. Where are these other gems? That is worth your time to discover each of them!
