Secrets of Disneyland Paris

The place where all dreams come true - Disneyland Paris lets everyone enjoy themselves to bits and it isn’t just the awesome rides, shows, and Disney character parades that make the park so extremely special and outstanding. There are several deliberate hidden “secrets” that make it genuinely magnificent and entertaining. In this article some of the secrets will be uncovered and made into targets that you will be looking for the next time you go to Disneyland. But a brief introduction to the structure of Disneyland would be the best point to start. There are five different areas to Disneyland: Main Street USA, “a typical small American town at the turn of the 20th century”; Frontierland, “the conquest of the West”; Adventureland “the world of explorers and adventurers”; Fantasyland,“all the magic of the great Disney Classics”, and Discoveryland, “Dreams of the future from the past and present”.

An amazing secret can be spotted when you enter Disneyland Paris, where Main Street USA with a wide range of Disney shops leads to the centre of the park. It can be seen here that as you go down the street towards the Sleeping Beauty Castel  the ship fronts long ut combe more ans more Modern  Claudine thé tact tchat thé Street tas lampe stand ta thé smart sherpas lectrice ligots are set ta tue pend  But henné are se ta the start of the street? Tue answer is looking down at us from the top of the building of the great store at thé corner called “The Emporium”, when we are at the year of 1896.





Through with the small American town street, another secret is found in Frontierland. At the entrance to Phantom Manor, a haunted mansion where a ghostly bride resides, a decoration to the building, a vampire-like creature and a skull greet the guests with a piece of writing in Latin, “Non Omnis Moriar”, which means “I shall not completely die” in English! This adds a touch of horror to the place of dreams. Also, another unusual sight can be caught in one of the windows of the manor. In the flickering light from the inside, you could with very sharp eyes find a mysterious figure with white gloved hands and hat that seems to be looking over us.


In Disneyland, there are a great number of “Hidden Mickeys” that are secretly put in the picture. One example of those can be found in the popular ride “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril”. Some of the settings, three metal hoops that may have been used in the research by Dr Jones, have fallen on the ground to create a very “lucky” arrangement.   

The most remarkable monument in Disneyland would be Sleeping Beauty Castle in Fantasyland. But, even this significant royal habitation has a secret “on” it; there are golden snails climbing up two of the roofs of the castle!


Discoveryland has one of the outstandingly popular rides in Disneyland; Buzz lightyear Laser Blast. While waiting to join the shooting battle against Zurg the evil robot, you can spot some hidden Mickeys here and there. The first example is a planet called Pollostrautt. It looks similar to the Earth, but with a massive difference; the green continent is shaped of a profile Mickey head! Another is a tiny little star twinkling among others.

As you saw, there are thousands of hidden “secrets” in Disneyland, and also not to forget to mention, Disney Studio, hotels and village all surrounding Disneyland Paris. These attract the guests and produce a great number of “repeaters” who visits the parks again and again. Perhaps a place of all dreams and fun does not come just so simply.
