A bit short on personnel , two dear women and a great men missing, but we were back along with our dog Rex , and my 3 boys !!! Disneyland is always magical once in it and with family even better! We came again , and it was a blast ! Text done with a combination of official Disney site and wikipedia, Therefore, let me tell you again on the Fantasyland on the Pays des Contes de Fées ride !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I,

The Pays des Contes de Fées: Set Sail ! Or The Land of Fairy Tales: Set Sail ! 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.

To board the boats, visitors must cross a bridge that leads them to the center of a rotating platform around which the boats are positioned. A giant fairy tale book rests on a writing desk to the north of the platform. Plants are also represented by numerous bonsai trees scaled to fit these miniature scenes, Along your quest, keep an eye out for the following intricately replicated settings, complete with imaginative landscaping, charming music and special lighting effects

The dwarfs’ mine and house from  and the Seven Dwarfs, The gingerbread house from Babes in the Woods, Rapunzel’s high tower with a braid hanging out of the window, from Tangled, The Old Mill

The Prince Eric’s seaside castle from The Little Mermaid, The Greek temple and Mount Olympus from Fantasia, Snow-covered landscapes from Peter and the Wolf, The “Night on Bald Mountain” scene from Fantasia, The Cave of Wonders from , which swallows the boats

A scene from The Sword in the Stone, Belle’s village and the Beast’s castle from Beauty and the Beast, and the Emerald City and the Witch’s Castle from The Wizard of Oz and Return to Oz

The hand-crafted mini models use a scale of one inch to one foot and are as painstakingly detailed as full-sized structures. The doors of many of the buildings actually open for added effect.

This attraction offers boat trips along miniature 1/12 scale scenery depicting scenes from fairy tales. After exiting the boarding area, the fairy tale-inspired scenes, accompanied by music, unfold on both sides of the canal. The attraction shares its river route with a miniature railway called Casey Jr. – The Little Circus Train, it opened April 3, 1994 in Paris,

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
