''Elsa made it snow!” my delighted daughter Amy shrieked as her favourite princess rode past in the parade.
The look of wonder on her face was a joy to behold. We had only been at Disneyland Paris for a couple of hours but the ice queen’s magic had already left its mark on my Frozen-mad four-year-old.
It typifies what makes the theme park so special – moments of unexpected joy can be found for visitors of all ages – whether it’s a chance meeting with Mickey, a gut-shredding ride like Crush’s Coaster, or in this case a bit of Elsa’s snow magic.
