With £500 Canvas Holidays vouchers you could be nearer to Disneyland Paris than you think.
I badly wanted to visit Disneyland when I was a child.
Disney was the magical treat served up on miserable bank holidays as “Disney Time” clips. Every Easter, May Day and August I craved to see the dancing mushrooms from Fantasia. I wanted to jump through a pavement and sing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious like in Mary Poppins. I wanted to see the castle and the fireworks.
Then one day on John Craven’s Newsround they made a spectacular announcement. They were going to build a Disneyland in Europe. The bad news was, I would no longer be a child by the time it was finished. Fast forward more than 20 years later and I’m still yet to visit Disneyland Paris.
The good news is I can now enjoy the magic of Disney again through the eyes of my son. Having children is a great excuse for the young at heart to visit theme parks again.
The first film I took Ted to see was Disney’s The Princess and The Frog, a modern release but in a nostalgic Disney style. Ted has since watched Mary Poppins (he likes the bedroom that tidies itself funnily enough), Jungle Book and many more. And Ted loves theme park rides so Disneyland Paris would be his dream holiday.
We have enjoyed several self catering holidays in France but I hadn’t realised you could camp near Disneyland Paris. Canvas Holidays have two resorts within a short drive of Disneyland Paris; Camping les Etangs Fleuris and Camping la Croix du Vieux Pont.

So funny, your experience echos mine, I remember the excitement at Disneyland Paris opening and then never quite made it there as a child. Will definitely subject my children to dressing up to try to win this!! Thanks.
Mine doesn’t like dressing up but he does like the rides. I’ve been showing him YouTube clips from Disney all afternoon as he was “on strike”!
I still haven’t been to Disney Land and I so wanted to go as a child! Now I really want to go before my oldest is too old!
I went to Disney Land Paris when I went interrailling after my first year at university. I don’t remember much, but we bought the wrong ticket and got a fine on the way back.
My sister just got married in Dubrovnik — stunning wedding, stunning. As she works for Disney (a company we’ve both loved since we were very small and used to regularly visit family in Florida) some colleagues gave her some bridal Minnie ears/ veil — she put them on as she and her groom walked back into the reception after having some photos taken on their own. SO FUN!
I have never been to Disney Land but would love to even now. I think Izy would be in heaven given her obsession for all things princess and castles!
I have only been to Tokyo Disneyland. My favourite ride was the Peter Pan one. Should I be embarrassed? Am so not.
