One of the things I love about Disneyland Paris<\/a> is that it's so easy to get to from the UK, which makes it perfect for a last minute short break – and, at the risk of sounding as though I've been spellbound by Tinkerbell, one your children will remember forever. (Every kid I know can wax lyrical about their favourite Disney rides for hours on end. Ask them about their favourite subjects at school, however, and they quickly clam up.) <\/p>\r\n

Right now, it's Mickey's Magical Party, which means extended opening hours until 11pm (so afternoon naps are a good idea!), plus some fabulous new parades and awe-inspiring firework display The Enchanted Spectacular.
