Disneyland, Paris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are among the luckiest people in the world, you can end up with a cooler selfie if you capture one near the life-sized dolls which are always strolling in the park. You will not have to give the actors some cash for the image; instead, a friendly ‘merci’ will do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
