Creator's Key Takeaways

This park is the last time that Disney pulled out all the stops on their own park.

Discovery Land at Disneyland Paris, which bar none is the best Tomorrowland that could have ever existed.

The Nautilus walkthrough attraction is so cool and it's totally in concert with what we said at the introduction to Disneyland Paris.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Rope drop Big Thunder Mountain or Space Mountain.
Spend time looking at the details in Main Street USA.
Visit the dragon in the castle via the secret stairway from the Aribbas Brothers store.
See Discovery Land at night to appreciate the lighting.
Bring an adapter for European outlets.
