However, if you don’t feel like jostling amongst the crowds, why not catch a fl ight with China Southern Airlines to various classical Disneylands around the world to rediscover the child within yourself?
中国内地首座迪斯尼主题乐园今年6月在上海开幕,全球大小朋友的梦幻国度再度引发关注。如果你不想跟着汹涌的人潮一起挤爆上海,何不乘坐南航航班飞到世界各地的经典迪斯尼乐园,重温童心带给我们的无限快乐呢?

A LAND OF FANTASY-DISNEYLAND PARK
Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Los Angeles contains two theme parks: Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, and it was the former that I visited in May, which was the very fi rst Disney theme park built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney. The very fi rst Disneyland Park can be the most representative park of the Disney, and it matches all the fantasies you might have of the Disney world.
When we passed the incredible fantasyland, we reached the most occupied part of the park: Tomorrowland, because of the popularity of Star Wars, the rides in Tomorrowland are hits, and the queues for them are long. However, when I checked the estimated time on the sign post, they were only around 20 minutes. I found the fast pass line very useful, for the most popular rides, like the space mountain, we could pick the fast pass ticket which assigned us a particular time slot, so we could come back and take the ride without waiting in a line. Fast pass lines are features of all Disneyland parks, but the organised style and clear direction at Anaheim is like no other.
In between the time we scheduled for Space
迪斯尼乐园由美国人沃尔特·迪斯尼于1955年始创,那么美国拥有多座迪斯尼乐园就不足为奇了。我最近去的这一家,是位于加州阿纳海姆迪斯尼度假区的加州迪斯尼乐园,它是世界上最早建成的迪斯尼主题公园,也是最有代表性的一座。
人气最旺的园区自然是以《星球大战》电影为主题的“明日世界”,但即便是在这里,公告牌上通常显示的轮候时间最多也就是20分钟而已,这大大出乎我的意料。当然,使用迪斯尼乐园特有的“快速通行证”(Fast Pass)能让我们更加节省时间,相当于边玩边等。值得一提的是,加州迪斯尼乐园的Fast Pass系统在组织管理方式和指引明确度上似乎更胜一筹。
除了“明日世界”,这里还有我最爱的“小小世界”园区,这也是这个乐园中最为经典的一个所在(“小小世界”在现有的6个迪斯尼乐园中,除上海外全部都有开设)。游客可以乘坐小船进入城堡,沿途欣赏代表欧洲、美洲、亚洲等不同国家和地区的10多个场景和点缀其中的数百个木偶。
一见钟情最让人难忘。我相信对于所有前来游览迪斯尼乐园的人来说,高大的睡美人城堡永远是第一个吸引住他们眼球的地方。在这里,游客可以见证迪斯尼乐园中最为魔幻的时刻——迪斯尼游行和烟花表演。由于纬度低日照长的原因,加州迪斯尼乐园夏初之夜的烟花表演,会在黄昏的落日余晖中进行。
——没错,就跟你在每一部迪斯尼电影片头中看到的一样。

Mountain, we went to one of my favourites of all time: It's a Small World. This attraction has been a classic since the park's opening, and involves a boat ride inside a castle with dolls dressed in various traditional costumes of the world. When we got into the boat and began the ride, we were sent to a magic world. One thing I really liked about this attraction was the concept of showing the diversity of race, belief and culture in a way that children could understand. The dolls of different appearance were dressed with various customs such as Cowboy suits with an antique gun, or Russian girl dolls in a ball gown with ruf fl es. The decoration and background were not the most creative part, but the background music was; It's a Small World was the main melody, using the same song, the instruments and lyrics varied once we reached a different area but still to the same melody. The Chinese theme was the most interesting one, it added the Chinese fl ute, enhancing the lively style and in the lyrics part, the chorus of young boys incorporating with the fl ute and showing a distinct traditional Chinese musical feature. The comment of the whole journey is just enjoyable and educational.
The most unforgettable part of the park was the fi rst scene I laid eyes on - Sleeping Beauty's Castle, with spectacular spire and decorated in blue and white with sparkling diamonds. One of the most magical moments of the day was the fi rework display and parade. I didn't get the chance to join the parade that day, but the fi reworks did impress me, and were just like it says in the tour guide: “It's so much more than a fi rework's spectacular!” At the beginning of summer, when the days become longer in California, the fi reworks event takes place at twilight, and this is the perfect timing to see them. The lines of puffy marshmallow-liked clouds were still clear in the sky, against a backdrop of deep purple. When the lights of Sleeping Beauty's castle turned on to the signature scene at the beginning of every single Disney movie, I was even expecting the subtitle, 'Walt Disney' that accompanied me through my whole childhood. The fi reworks showed up with the crisp sound and unexpected resonance of my inner child awakened. The fi reworks were intense and colourful, and they just completed the 'painting' of the moment. After a few separate bursts, they exploded into bloom and lit up the night sky. The very last part was the fi reworks of Mickey's and Minnie's faces when the announcement said“Disneyland forever!” and young children all over the world follow that 'Disneyland forever!'.

JAPANESE SUMMERS AT TOKYO DISNEY RESORT
Tokyo Disney Resort will be extremely busy in July with its unique Summer Festival. Summers in Japan are extremely hot. Noon-time temperatures can spike to as high as 35 degrees Celsius. The Disney Resort therefore has arranged water fountain performances during the 2-month long summer season at Cinderella's Castle, generating splashes of water that help everyone cool off. One will also be able to see Disney celebrities in various areas of the park performing, singing, and getting fellow visitors to join in the fun amidst the cooling water sprays.
There's also other summer-only events in this Disney Resort - the famous Disney Parade. These Parades are held three times a day with each performance lasting 40 minutes, offering seven spectacular fl oats and 100 performers who will be interacting with the crowd amidst wonderful music and dance.
东京迪斯尼——和风夏庆
7月的东京迪斯尼非常热闹,先有为迎接夏日的特别活动“迪斯尼和风夏庆”。日本的夏天炎热非常,正午一般也高达摄氏35度,所以乐园特别安排灰姑娘城堡在这两个月的夏庆期间喷起水柱,溅起阵阵水花,帮大家降降温,同时园区各处也可以看到迪斯尼明星们在水花中劲歌热舞,还会邀请游人一起参与。
此外,当然还有今夏不可错过的迪斯尼限定活动——每日3场的花车大游行,每场演出时间长达40分钟,有多达7辆花车与100位表演者在轻快的音乐歌声中与大家打招呼,舞者们更会跑来跑去,配合音乐与大家在漫天水花中唱唱跳跳,超级精彩!

EUROPEAN THEMES AT DISNEYLAND PARIS
Disneyland Paris, once called Euro Disney Resort, was the fi rst Disneyland to be built outside the United States. Disneyland Paris is composed of 5 sections. Main Street USA at the main entrance depicts a frontier town during the Cowboy era, allowing visitors to dive into a time tunnel and experience life in a historical pioneer town. In order to become an integral part of local societies and cultures, Disneyland Paris invested heavily into the intricacy and elegance of its castle, boulevard, building, and even landscaping designs. Such efforts allowed Disneyland Paris to assume the likeness of a classical European palace garden.
巴黎迪斯尼乐园——欧洲风情
巴黎迪斯尼乐园原名欧洲迪斯尼乐园,是美国之外的第二座迪斯尼乐园。巴黎迪斯尼乐园由五大部分组成,正门的Main Street USA满是旧日美国牛仔时代的小镇风光,令人有进入时光隧道之感。和其他迪斯尼乐园一样,巴黎迪斯尼乐园也以西部小镇、大峡谷、海盗船等场景为主;不同的是,为了融入当地社会文化,巴黎迪斯尼乐园不管是城堡的设计还是街道、建筑物的雕饰,乃至于树丛花圃的造型,都设计得精致优雅,颇有欧洲古典宫廷花园的感觉。
