Who doesn't adore Disney in all its forms? Children and adults alike. The brand is the epitome of fun, laughter and magic. When you are on holiday even if you don't have kids you can add a little Disney itinerary magic to your trip. Continue reading to find out what is available.

The most visited theme park in Europe is obviously Disneyland, Paris, which when it opened in the 1990s was called Euro-Disney. It is situated 32 kilometres east of Paris and it is easy to reach via Eurostar. There are often excellent deals available for the train as well as packages. Once you are there you will have enough to keep you busy for the entire day, two if you stay over in one of the on-site hotels.

In addition to meeting and hanging out with all your favourite characters you can travel by horse-drawn carriage, ride on Thunder Mountain, visit Alice in Wonderland, help Buzz Lightyear and fly with Dumbo and ride terrifying rides. At the end of the day there is a parade and loads of fireworks. The company are the second largest purchasers of explosives all to add to the magic. There really is nothing more you could want from a resort.

If you are visiting England or Europe in the winter there is usually a performance of Disney on Ice, where numerous characters from famous movies take to the ice in a musical and light bonanza. Each year they are themed, with this year's being, as you would expect, a Frozen theme. No doubt there was a wonderful rendition of Let it Go with Ana, Elsa and Olav stealing the show. Wrap up warm and prepare to sing you little heart out.

Why not take a lunch break at the Harrods Disney Cafe, situated on floor four. Available to eat are cream teas, a selection of cakes, Mickey Mouse toasties (of course) and knickerbocker glories to share. Not just the toasties are Mickey, but also the chairs and the walls are decorated with a princess mural. Harrods is expensive but your kids will love you for it.

Remaining in London, it is a must to go to the Disney store. There are numerous smaller franchise stores in Britain and Europe but the biggest by far, in fact the biggest in Europe is on Oxford Street, only a short bus trip from Knightsbridge. Here they sell DVDs, fancy dress costumes, every plushie you could ever want, watches and collectables; in fact if it is possible to brand and package it the company have included it in the store with a background of catchy music and over-excited cast members (staff members). Just remember your wallet.

There is no better way of rounding off a Disney-esque weekend is to go to the movies to see their latest offering. Amidst much horror in 2009, Marvel Comics was bought by the organisation and fans were afraid the Marvel franchise would be made into sugary sweet characters. The first film to be produced based on Marvel is Hero 6, and is in the cinema now.

It is a story of a young boy, Hiro and an over-size inflatable robot, Baymax. Hiro and his friends join Baymax to form a group of super heroes. An enchanting good versus evil movie, with some beautiful scenery and amusing interaction between Baymax and Hiro. What a wonderful end to a magical weekend in Europe!
