Imagine a part of the Disney empire, a huge piece of Disney Magic, arriving in your home city. That’d be quite an event, right? Well, Spanish Disney fans at long last had all their dreams come true recently when Disney Magic finally arrived on their shores.

Soon, Route 66 from Chicago to LA won’t be the only place to get your kicks.

From sales carts around the park to the saccharated smell of strawberry jam floating magically through Discovery Arcade, Disneyland and the sweet smell of delicious candy go together like Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Times are changing at Walt Disney Studios Park. Toon Studio continues to impress and Toon Town makes a bold - and unexpected - entrance. We’ve read words, seen concepts and previewed the maps - now the finished reality is in sight.

Since the start of April, L’Auberge de Cendrillon has been overrun by ‘Les Fantasies de Susy et Perla’ as the two mice from Cinderella launch a new restaurant concept for Disneyland Park.
