Let's bust those myths. Picture Source: Disneyland Paris Every Disney park has some form of myth that one travel professional decided when they were bored and everybody else took as gospel. Walt Disney Studios' myth is that it is, at best, only a half day venture.  This myth harkens back to the early 2000s wh...
