CHESSY, France (Reuters) — Disneyland Paris held a colorful parade to celebrate its 25th anniversary on Saturday (March 25) as classic characters like Minnie Mouse and Captain Hook waved from floats to the crowd below.

The popular Disneyland tourist resort located in Chessy, just outside Paris, opened its doors on April 12, 1992 for the first time. It welcomes thousands of children and adults each year.

Disneyland Paris, owned by Euro Disney, employs 15,000 ‘cast members’ who work in the theme park.

Visitors from around the world joined the festivities, saying Disneyland was the best place to let their inner child run wild.
