Beneath Sleeping Beauty's Castle in Disneyland Paris, there lies a fearsome secret, slumbering until disturbed from its peace. Guests who bypass the route through the castle and instead take a side path to the left will find themselves in La Tanière du Dragon, or the "dragon's lair," where they come face to face with a life size animatronic beast. It's one of my favorite little bits from the park, and not necessarily a highly advertised attraction. But this walk-through sight is certainly awe-inspiring, and the movement, growls, and smoke breathing certainly make for a realistic effect.
Here are a few photos from the dragon's chamber for your enjoyment!

| The dragon is chained to the cave rockwork and slumbers most of the time. |
