Adding to the enchanted environment, the castle is surrounded by square trees and is home to a large sleeping dragon that occasionally awakens, puffs smoke and roars.

Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups. Skip to Wonderland and board a colourful teacup for a merry mad spin around a giant teapot. Each tea cup includes a wheel in the centre that lets you control the direction and speed of your spin. If you decide you want a wild ride, simply turn the wheel fast and hold on. If you want a gentler ride, you may opt to not turn the wheel at all. Please be aware that although you can control the spinning, your teacup automatically tosses and turns on the platform deck.
Le Pays des Contes de Fées or The Land of Fairy Tales, Hop inside a colourful 15-person boat for a gentle cruise through the enchanting realm of Disney’s Storybook Land. As you gracefully make your way past hills and through valleys, discover a dazzling assortment of charming homes and villages from classic Disney movies, beautifully rendered in miniature scale.

Les Voyages de Pinocchio, Board a wooden car, enter Stromboli’s Marionette show and witness Pinocchio dance and sing with a duo of puppets. Stromboli then locks Pinocchio in a cage, Jiminy Cricket shouts ‘Watch out!’ and your adventure across distant lands unfolds.
