It snowed a few days ago in Disneyland Paris. Some reported it added even more magic to the park!
Have a look!

Sigh. As if DLP wasn't already the most beautiful of the parks.
Even if some butterfly did some amazing flapping across the world and we got snow in Anaheim, I've heard that they'd shut the park down and we'd never get to see it, simply because they would have no way to deal with it.

They're great photographs. Strange to see Captain Hooks ship covered in snow. The snow certainly gives the park a different look.

Um, is there any chance of snow in late October?
(sigh) Can I please spend a year in Paris?!? Will someone please sponsor my overseas life experience?

Well, there was snow on Captain Hooks ship in the new Peter Pan Movie, signaling the fact that Peter was away from Neverland.
I can't help but wonder what kind of experience a Southern Californian would have with this kind of weather. Looks pretty, but seams miserable to me.
Do they need to shut down a bunch of the rides though? Looks like Big Thunder might need to be......

Haha, ironically, Big Thunder has snow painted on parts of the landscape, so it always looks like it's recently snowed.

Not because of snow like that no. It would be most unsusual.
And remember it will often be much much colder than when the snow is there. But then it's winter so everyone is wrapped up warm anyway and used to the cold.
I had my very first experience of any Disneyland anywhere at DLP one very very cold frosty February - and that's when I vowed I woud visit a Disneyalnd somewhere on earth 2 times every year.

Thanks for the pictures and sharing this site.
DLP is beautiful in the snow. It is such a beautiful park...that adding snow makes it even more outstanding. I enjoyed my trip there very much...(but am still glad I didn't go when it was snowing...brrrrr.;) ).

I was there when we had the snow, and when it Started I was in Walts on Main Street enjoying a character Breakfast and the snow started coming down, now as there is fake snow pumped out over main street on the hour every hour over Christmas, and it had just turned 9 we thought nothing of it. We then stepped out later, and it was still snowing. I was so excited, I ran almost all the way to Its a Small World, and then started dancing up the ramp singing the song, I got some funny looks but I didnt care! And it certainly did add some additional magic. There were no rides closed on that day, however all the parades were cancelled! I missed my Fantillusion :(
My only complaint was after 11 hours walking around in the snow, my feet were soaking wet and absolutely frozen, I was very glad to get back to the hotel that night, for 2 reasons, the cold in my feet, and I had gone to bed at 3am after the new years celebrations, and got up just after 7 to be in the park for character breakfast, i needed to catch up on sleep LOL.
