A Real Parent's Story
She cried meeting Rapunzel and so did I
“The queue was 45 minutes. She waited practicing her curtsy. When Rapunzel held her hand, she burst into tears.”

I was skeptical about Disneyland Paris. Yes, smaller than Tokyo. Yes, some rides feel dated. But character interactions are unmatched. Our daughter spent 10 minutes talking to Rapunzel. A staff member noticed my son was tired and let us rest in the parent lounge. We went for 1 day and added a second.
