Fireworks light up the night sky above a pink castle as I belt out a tune made famous by a snow princess.

Somehow, this rather uncharacteristic behaviour has failed to attract even a single bemused glance, but with good reason.

Because there’s an army of us doing the same, gripped by a phenomenon they (or for the purposes of this review, I) call Frozen Fever.

Every little girl’s favourite winter fairytale has taken the world by storm, and I found myself at the heart of it as Disneyland Paris kicked off its Enchanted Christmas season.

My daughter Grace – a Frozen fanatic – was my companion for a long weekend, complete with Mickey Mouse ears and a smile that didn’t disappear for three hectic days.

Because Disney have pulled out all the stops for Christmas, and it’s everything you’d want and more.

Walking down Main Street USA is a festive treat and also the perfect place to catch the twice-daily Christmas Parade, with fake snow falling as a procession of Disney’s favourite characters dance past.

Inevitably, Frozen plays a huge part in the celebrations and is the centrepiece for an awe-inspiring (truly) Dreams of Christmas Show, which is beamed onto the famous Sleeping Beauty castle every evening.

It was during said spectacle that I (tragically) couldn’t help but join in with the movie’s smash-hit song Let it Go, something Grace thankfully failed to notice in her mesmerised state.

But despite meeting her favourite snow princesses, it wasn’t Anna and Elsa she was talking about on our return home – it was the rollercoasters!

Having a scaredy-cat for a daughter, I had envisaged my weekend being spent on the waltzing teacups and merry-go-rounds.

But somewhere beneath the Channel Tunnel she must have developed a backbone, because we went on every thrill-seeking ride (height-permitting) the park had to offer.

Big Thunder Mountain, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, RC Racer, the Tower of Terror…..they had it all.

A couple of centimetres scuppered a go on Space Mountain (despite three failed attempts), but I can’t imagine any ride topping the Finding Nemo-themed Crush’s Coaster.

Strapped in a tortoise shell, you’re sent hurtling into a dark abyss as incredible special effects make you feel like you’ve been gripped by a ferocious ocean current.

It really is something else.

But equally-impressive on the technology front is the park’s latest attraction, Ratatouille; the Adventure.

Situated next door in the Walt Disney Studios Park, it’s a frantic, jumpy carriage ride through the 4D kitchens of the movie’s sneaky chef Skinner.

To say it’s impressive would be doing it an injustice.

And if that whets your appetite, right next door is the perfect place to calm your post-ride jitters and grab a bite to eat at the Bistrot Chez Remy, where everything is larger than life.

It was here I made the schoolboy error of telling my daughter I hadn’t actually seen Frozen, allowing her to regale me with the entire tale before our starters had arrived.

Thankfully, it was a rare and much-needed moment of downtime, which you’ll need given just how much there is to do in the two parks.

Definitely take time out to try the more tranquil, but still thoroughly enjoyable, rides, like Pirates of the Caribbean and Peter Pan’s Flight.

And if you need five minutes to sit down (you will) catch the incredibly clever Cinemagique show or watch your young ones jump around at Disney Juniors.

But most of all, be prepared.

I lost half a day working out what to do, so make the most of every minute by putting together an itinerary based on the age and height of your little ones.

If you’re staying on site, like we did at the comfortable New York Hotel, be aware you get two hours in the parks from 8am before ‘outsiders’ are allowed in.

You can’t go on any rides until 10am, but you can be sure to be near the front of the queue

But most of all have fun. Lap it all up. Let it soak in. Because Disneyland is truly a magical place, and just that extra bit special at Christmas.
