It doesn’t matter if you’re an adult or a child, Disneyland Paris never fails to stir up magic. Priyanka Chakrabarti visits her dreamland to experience The Lion King and Jungle Festival.
A dream is a wish your heart makes...
The popular song from Cinderella starts playing in my head when I reach Disneyland Paris on what is my first visit to the theme park, country, and continent. The gigantic pastel-pink castle with little white balconies and powder-blue window panes takes me back to my childhood. All I want to do is meet Disney characters, buy cotton candy, and wear Mickey’s large velvety ears on my head. Not one to shy away from my whims, I buy the Mickey ears the moment I see them!
This is not how I expected the trip to go. Before I reached Disneyland Paris, I had visualised the moment a million times in my head—walking inside the park like an adult (I’m 31), taking photographs, and talking to the crew about their latest shows, The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands and The Jungle Book Jive. I had been invited there to witness these musicals, after all. Instead, I find myself chasing Goofy, taking multiple servings of ice cream (with Mickey Mouse-shaped choco-chip cookies), playing with a soap-bubble gun, and buying Disney merchandise.
