Today's weathervane was photographed above the Disneyland Hotel in Disneyland, Paris, France.
The Rojos had a three generation family vacation to Disneyland Paris recently. We had a wonderful time in this park, which is much smaller than the DisneyWorld resort in Florida. I loved that the entire park is walkable, including walking from your hotel to both of the park entrances. While walking we were able to explore and appreciate many gardens, displays, artwork, new foods, people watching, and (you guessed it already!) weathervanes!
This whimsical little Tinkerbell is atop the Disneyland Hotel, which straddles the entrance to the Magic Kingdom park. In the rush to get through security, show passes and tickets, many people probably don't even notice this little weathervane. She is two dimensional, gilded, and caught our eye in the morning sun as we approached from the Disney Village. We couldn't tell what the tiny figure on the vane was until we were right next to the park entrance. I was amazed at the detail when I was able to blow up the image at home on the computer monitor.
The Disneyland Hotel is currently under renovations until 2024. It is a pink victorian style building with many turrets and an interesting roofline that mirrors the Sleeping Beauty Castle at the other end of Main Street.
This Disney park had lots of weathervanes! Stay tuned and I'll post more in the coming weeks for more Weathervane Wednesdays.

A charming weather vane, which brings a smile to the lips! I am also a keen vanespotter so I stumbled across your blog the other day while trying to research one I had seen. I will try to work back through your archive as you seem to have lots of interesting ones.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words about "Weathervane Wednesday"! If you are on a desktop or laptop there is a search bar at the top right hand corner of the home page. Or you can scroll back in time on a mobile device.
DeleteI've been away so am very behind with things, but I still plan to look at your vanes in more detail. I'll get there! I already had a brief scroll through some weeks ago, by using the "Weathervane Wednesday" label on the right. For now I will just say that I think perhaps I need to make a trip to Eurodisney some time ... you found some great examples there!
