Trivia
- All 20 canal boats are chained together and pulled through the canal using underwater turntables at each corner of the course. Like many of Disney's waterways, special safe colours are often added to hide the underwater winch systems in the shallow canal.
- Storybook Land features some of the park's most intricate and extravagant landscaping, with miniature fields, trees, beaches, snow, mountains and castles all mixing together in harmony.
- Based on the 1955 Storybook Land Canal Boats at Disneyland in California, Le Pays des Contes de Fées features several enhancements and tweaks to suit its new location and times. Rather than have guests guided by a live Cast Member in the style of the Jungle Cruise, tethered boats guide guests slowly around the course, with music and visuals telling the story. The miniatures are more detailed and the integration with Casey Jr. - Le Petit Train du Cirque above far grander.
- The attraction was added in March 1994 as part of a rapid expansion programme to greatly increase the park's attraction capacity.
- A brand new "scene" was added on 28th December 2010 for new Disney animation Tangled. Replacing an original, smaller tower based on the Rapunzel story, the new tower modeled exactly on that in the film rises over the Hansel and Gretel scene complete with a miniature Flynn Rider climbing Rapunzel's hair to the open window!
- Many of the scenes and scenery of the attraction were created by a French company tasked more than 10 years later to create props and scenery for Toon Studio.
Le Pays des Contes de Fées features at least 12 different storybook favourites amongst its rolling hills
