“Soyez les premieres invitées…” Be the first guests to discover the 5th Anniversary celebrations, buzzes this booklet from very early in the anniversary year, advertising visits only up to the end of March 1997, before the park had even turned 5 years old! Over several colourful pages, it introduces the “Festival of Fools” (Carnaval des Fous) concept including the “Château des Fous” castle overlay, Hunchback of Notre Dame mini-parade, park decorations and special offers. The new Videopolis show, Disney Classics – The Music and the Magic is also advertised.

At this point the resort was right to celebrate — its revenues and visitor numbers continuing to rise after the huge boost given by Space Mountain in 1995, the 5th Anniversary allowed numbers to remain steady without the need for another expensive new attraction.
