Another year, another St David's Day Celebration at Disneyland Resort Paris.

Disneyland Resort Paris is inviting guests to celebrate all things Welsh alongside popular Disney characters during the St David's Welsh Festival from 6th - 8th March 2009.

Disney icons, Mickey and Minnie, will don their best Welsh-themed outfits for the occasion whilst the Disneyland Park and Disney Village will take inspiration from the land of rolling mountains and lush valleys to present a fun-packed programme to amaze and entertain the whole family.

The best of Wales comes alive in the magic of Disney with music and dance, culture and crafts.  The Welsh spirit soars with a traditional Welsh Choir, face-painting and fireworks - it's a red, white and green as you've never, ever seen!

Wouldn't wanna be there during that, then! I'm bad enough around kids anyway, never mind school trip groups.

Though it's good to see Disney once again celebrating probably the least-observed saint's day out of the Big 4.

Are they just doing the same things they did last year?

St David is very much celebrated in Wales and throughout the world by the welsh so I really cannot see how it is the least celebrated.  

Also, In contrast with the other national patron saints of the British Isles, Saints George, Andrew and Patrick, David is a native of the country of which he is patron saint.  

Not sure if I would want to be there with school trips either though. lol  And I'm welsh.

Thats the Way to Tell them Kiki!
I Dare Say the Least Celebrated Saint out of the Big 4 is George... Scots Go Crazy in November, half of the US and All of Ireland and the Uk goes Green for Patrick... And Down in Patagonia, in Argentina and in one school in the heart of London along with the Land Of Poetry and Song goes Red (mainly led by Max Boyce) for David!
And Saying that George is no longer a Saint... Pope repealed his status along with Chirstophers a good few years ago.

Nice to See that Disney takes up the Welsh Mantle! Only Wish I was out there for it... With my Shirt promoting Brains (Or Brawn or Essai even) and the Daff too!
 
I'd want to be taking the School Trip there... Maybe one day when I Qualify and Get My QTS i will... I'd enjoy it!

Wonder if the CMs are gong to use Cymraeg Bob Dydd (Everyday Welsh) during the festival?

I must say that St. Davids day is not celebrated like it should be!! I love it how Disney celebrate all 4 Saints Days!!

I like the Disney logo for St. David how they have incorporated the Welsh Dragon and Mickey!!

What do Disney do for St. David's Day?

We don't forget you

Some outstanding Pictures... There and Some Points need to be brought out to those who unaware of the History of Cymru

The Wizard in the Car along with Mr & Ms Mouse I'm guessing is a fellow we call Myrddin...
Myrddin through many texts is a person who comes from the East Welsh County of Carmarthen, and he is Par of the Fellowship surrounding a King known as Pendragon... Who's throne Passes on With Help from a Stone... To Young Arthur who "builds" Camelot!
So that Wizard could be Merlin... Need someone's inside info for the correct note

I want Mickey's Waistcoat... It's very reminiscent of the One Welsh Singer/Poet Max Boyce... Hmm that might work for My Second Teaching Practice next February-April!
