Attractions and Entertainments

Main Street USA - Frontierland - Adventureland - Fantasyland - Discoveryland

Disneyland Paris Railroad, Main Street station
The park started with three real steam trains: the W.E. Cody, the C.K. Holliday and the G. Washington, all specially built in Wales. A fourth locomotive was added in 1994. The journey includes Grand Canyon diorama, and travels through the back of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Daily Parades (see Parades for current times)
Note from Ron Vutpakdi (vutpakdi@houston.wireline.slb.com): If you are going to watch the parade, watch it from where it enters the park [near It's a Small World, in Fantasyland]. When they open the doors, you can see some of the parade people clowning around; I saw Jafar and his guards doing a little Rockettes-style kicking number.

Main Street vehicles
