Mickey’s Magical Party The world’s best-loved Mouse welcomes everyone to a spectacular celebration at Disneyland Resort Paris

Disneyland Resort Paris announces its yearlong celebration, Mickey's Magical Party which will be launching on April 4th 2009 running until March 7th 2010. Mickey's Magical Party will be a star-studded occasion featuring new entertainment, a new attraction, special offers -- and the resort's unbeatably fun-packed calendar of seasonal events.

The unique party atmosphere will offer new entertainment and interactive experiences for guests of all ages. Guests will be able to participate in party games at It's Party Time... with Mickey & Friends, where Mickey, Donald, Pluto, Goofy and Friends will demonstrate their favourite song & dance moves. It's Dance Time... in Discoveryland (Disneyland Park) will treat guests to a cutting edge mix of hip-hop and break beats hosted by the super cool DJ Stitch.

Minnie's Party Train will be running along Main Street, U.S.A. (Disneyland Park) several times a day. The "party train" is a new opportunity for guests to meet 'n' greet party girl Minnie's best friends and best-loved characters.

From trains we move on to automobiles, for Disney's Stars 'n' Cars. Every day at Walt Disney Studios Park, stars from Aladdin to Disney Villains will roll up in over-the-top customised vehicles. This is pure Disney creativity and magic -- on four wheels ending in a giant meet 'n' greet between guests and their favourite Characters on Place des Stars (Production Courtyard).

Playhouse Disney Live on Stage! is an exciting new attraction (Walt Disney Studios Park) that brings the Disney Channel hit TV show "Playhouse Disney" to life. Kids will be thrilled to share a genuine stage with Disney Channel Characters, including Handy Manny, Little Einsteins, the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Crew and more.

"Mickey's Magical Party is something that his fans are not going to want to miss," says Philippe Gas, Chief Executive Officer of Euro Disney S.A.S. "And we've pulled out all the stops to create an experience they'll never forget. From the moment they arrive, guests will step into a unique party atmosphere, with a special décor and magical shows led by Mickey and friends taking place all over the parks. It will be a Party every day of the year."

And that's not all. As part of the celebration, kids under 7 are getting a very special gift. During Mickey's Magical Party, they can stay, play and travel with Eurostar for free. From the 3rd April to 8th November 2009, one child travels free on Eurostar with each paying adult on the direct service to Disneyland Paris(1) plus free hotel accommodation -- in any Disney and Selected & Associated hotels -- and free entrance to both Disney Parks.

In addition to Mickey's Magical Party entertainment line up for 2009, guests will also be able to experience all the array of fun at Disneyland Resort Paris such as:

* The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™* (Walt Disney Studios Park), a haunted hotel towering 13 stories tall. The thrill ride which dares guests to board a ramshackle hotel freight elevator -with a faster-than-the-speed-of-gravity drop that plummets 13 fear-filled floors. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™, already a hit at Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort (California) and Tokyo Disneyland, is one of Disney's most popular attractions worldwide.
* Stitch Live! (Walt Disney Studios Park) starring the mischievous, animated character Stitch in a live, interactive experience matching wits with the audience. The attraction uses new technology that allows guests to interact and joke in real-time with the cuddly-but-destructive alien prone to hilarious fits of havoc in Walt Disney Pictures' hit animated film "Lilo & Stitch." Never the same show twice, Stitch talks, jokes and engages the audience in spontaneous non-stop banter.

The party of the year is Mickey's Magical Party at Disneyland Resort Paris, the place where dreams come true!
