Le Pays des Contes de Fees

DIsneyland Paris March/April 2009

Storybook tales at every turn...
Sit back and enjoy a peaceful cruise through Storybook Land, where the pages of the most famous storybook tales have been brought to life in a series of intricate miniature worlds.

Featured scenes: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, The Old Mill, Mount Olympus, The Little Mermaid, Peter and the Wolf, Night on Bald Mountain, Aladdin, The Sword in the Stone, Beauty and the Beast and The Wizard of Oz.

Trivia & Fun Facts
All 20 canal boats are chained together and pulled through the canal using underwater turntables at each corner of the course. Like many of Disney's waterways, special safe colours are often added to hide the underwater winch systems in the shallow canal.
Storybook Land features some of the park's most intricate and extravagant landscaping, with miniature fields, trees, beaches, snow, mountains and castles all mixing together in harmony.
Based on the 1955 Storybook Land Canal Boats at Disneyland in California, Le Pays des Contes de Fées features several enhancements and tweaks to suit its new location and times. Rather than have guests guided by a live Cast Member in the style of the Jungle Cruise, tethered boats guide guests slowly around the course, with music and visuals telling the story. The miniatures are more detailed and the integration with Casey Jr. - Le Petit Train du Cirque above far grander.
The attraction was added in 1994 as part of a rapid expansion programme to greatly increase the park's attraction capacity.
Many of the scenes and scenery of the attraction were created by a French company later tasked with scenic work for Toon Studio in Walt Disney Studios Park.

This attraction occasionally operates on a limited schedule during low season, remaining closed on certain days. It almost always closes before nightfall, and usually earlier still on nights when fireworks are presented.

@fridayhernangoz96 the whale's only in california I believe. Each park im sure has different things. If you've watched the small world ride videos, japan, florida, france, and california all have a different layout for the rides.

@Tailikku1

Satan?

Oh you mean Chernabog!

Yeah, but still, why would they build right underneath a menacing mountain? Normally they'd build on top of it, or something, but since they couldn't, they should have built it somewhere else.

[Tailikku1]

@xservintage Maybe because Satan decided that Bald Mountain was good place to reside due to the Witches' Sabbath?

@Tailikku1

Me too! And why did they build their homes under a gigantic, unfriendly mountain with a menacing lord of evil on top of it?

[fridayhernangoz96]
