If you love Disney, besides being familiar with all of their iconic movies, you must have been to at least one of the amusement parks. In the case of Brina, she shared how many parks she has visited and which was her favorite.“I have actually been to all the Disney parks worldwide. My home park is Paris, and my favorite is Hong Kong. This may surprise some, but I evaluate everything on such a trip… Price, performance, arrival, booking, and, of course, the experiences on site. In Hong Kong, everything has fit, small but perfect."

We asked Brina to share what is her favorite Disney movie within this list and why. Brina responded: “From the list, it is Beauty and the Beast. I still find this movie so beautiful and emotional after all these years.”We were wondering if any of these locations got Brina’s interest in visiting them.“In general, I find all the locations impressive. I love to travel and if you can find a bit of Disney there, it’s even more impressive for me. From the list it is Neuschwanstein Castle, even though I live in Germany, I have unfortunately never made it there,” shared Brina.

And lastly, Brina added: “I think we should all listen to our inner child more often and not always take everything so seriously. 100 years of Disney means 100 years of magic for big and small.”
