Plus don't miss the Magical Moments Festival this summer. ![At Disneyland Paris, you can enjoy all the charms of Disney without travelling a long distance, so it's ideal for a short break.][1] At Disneyland Paris, you can enjoy all the charms of Disney without travelling a long distance, so it's ideal for a short break. 3:17PM BST 13 May 2011 Disneyland Paris is a place where imaginations can run wild and family memories are made that will last for a lifetime - so why not make this the year to see your wishes come true with Mickey Mouse and his friends? The magic begins from the moment you tell your loved ones they're bound for Disneyland Paris. Then, when you step through the gates, you'll discover myriad attractions, shows and parades across two amazing parks - Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park. The resort is also home to seven Disney hotels and Disney Village, a vast entertainment district with themed restaurants, shops and a cinema complex, a lake and world-class 27-hole golf course. This summer, a trip to Disneyland Paris promises to be even more special. The Magical Moments Festival features the best-loved stories from Disney films and an all-star cast. You'll come up close to all your favourite Disney characters, who will take you with them on their adventures. For some seriously madcap mayhem, you can immerse yourselves in the Wonderful World of Alice and the Mad Hatter - but you'll have to work out whether to side with him or the more level-headed Queen. ## Related Articles * [Disneyland Paris top attractions][2] 13 May 2011 * [Disneyland Paris hotels][3] 13 May 2011 * [Making memories with Disney][4] 13 May 2011 * [Wishes do come true][5] 13 May 2011 * [Disney Cruise Line holidays][6] 13 May 2011 And for aspiring pirates of all ages, there's the chance to Follow the Leader with Peter Pan. This brand-new interactive experience will have you singing and dancing along with Peter, Wendy and John, and delivering a real fright to the villainous Captain Hook. You'll be able to bang the drum with Baloo, King Louie and Rafiki at Adventureland Rhythms of the Jungle, an unmissable opportunity to meet, greet and have photos taken with the most jumping Jungle Book characters. Look out too for A Royal Invitation in Disneyland Paris this year - you can share a fairytale moment with a Disney Princess. It's an experience that your own little princesses will be sure to remember happily ever after. High-octane action is guaranteed at the Moteurs... Action! Stunt Show Spectacular. Inspired by the Disney-Pixar movie Cars, the fire-leaping, wheel- screeching show features a guest appearance from the famous red race-car Lightning McQueen. For a spellbinding spectacle, be sure to catch Mickey's Magical Celebration. You'll see apprentice sorcerer Mickey take to the stage with a cast of Disney fairies and magicians. There's enchantment in the air as the Genie comes out of the lamp and Mickey becomes a Master Magician. All this is just for starters - and the magic is closer than you may think.
