Climbing up the tower.
Raponsje (Est. 2001) - a fairy tale about a girl who is locked up in a tower by a sorcerer, but by letting her hair fall out the window, the sorcerer and later a prince whom she falls in love manages to climb up. The fairy tale with the original title "Rapunzel" was written by the Brothers Grimm. It first appeared in the collection Kinder- und Hausmärchen in the 1812 edition.
"Raponsje" was added to the Efteling in 2001, after a design by Ton van de Ven, his latest addition to the Fairytale Forest. The image of Rapunzel consists of a ten meter high, robust tower with a window at the top. From this Rapunzel looks down and her braid hangs to the ground. Every few minutes the wizard climbs up that braid.

Josephine Baker is finally wearing the French colours. I made this composition by using the original theater decoration logo's found and photographed in the Music Hall at Chateau-des-Milandes. Overall a location where you can still feel her vibrant presence.

Pantheon Paris (mausoleum of France) - after her death she was the only American-born woman to receive full French military honours at her funeral, Baker was interred at Monaco's Cimetière de Monaco. In 2021, nearly half a century after her death, President Emmanuel Macron granted her to be honoured at the Pantheon Paris, mausoleum of France, this in recognition of the fact that Josephine Baker's "whole life was dedicated to the twin quest for liberty and justice.". She's the first black woman who received this highest honour in France, and sixth of woman, now among "Les Grands Hommes" of France. Also the first entertainer immortalized at the Pantheon alongside revered historical figures like Victor Hugo, Emile Zola and Marie Curie
At 30 november 2021 Josephine Baker merged with full honours into the colours of France for eternity. Among "Les Grands Hommes" honoured at the Pantheon Paris, mausoleum of France. Symbol of the French Resistance, symbol for so many people.
Photo July 2015, Josephine Baker (Born as Freda Josephine Baker / June 3, 1906 – April 12, 1975) after 40 years in time. In the year 2025 it's 50 years since.

Chateau des Milandes - Freda Josephine Baker (June 3, 1906 – April 12, 1975), naturalized as Joséphine Baker, was an American-born French dancer, singer and actress. Her career was centered primarily in Europe, mostly in her adopted France. She was the first black woman to star in a major motion picture. During her early career, Baker was among the most celebrated performers to headline the revues of the Folies Bergère in Paris with her costume, consisting of only a short skirt of artificial bananas and a beaded necklace. She became an iconic image and a symbol both of the Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties.
She raised her children in France at Chateau des Milandes. She aided the French Resistance during World War II and awarded the Resistance Medal by the French Committee of National Liberation, the Croix de Guerre by the French military, and Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur by General Charles de Gaulle.
On November 30, 2021, she was inducted into the Panthéon in Paris, the first black woman to receive one of the highest honors in France. As her resting place remains in Monaco Cemetery, a cenotaph was installed in vault 13 of the crypt in the Panthéon.

Puerto Dorado village overrun by pirates in search of treasure. The first sight is the town square, where some pirates have kidnapped the mayor, Carlos, and threaten to drown him in a well if he doesn't divulge the location of the treasure. Carlos' wife tells him to be brave and not talk; she is shot at as Carlos is repeatedly dunked in the water while several other captive city officials look on. Captain Jack Sparrow is seen hiding behind some dresses. An auction scene follows, where a pirate auctions off loot from the townspeople to other pirates. A redheaded female pirate is more interested in the town's rum supply, as are the bidders, who ignore the chickens that are currently offered for bidding.
In a next scene, pirates run around chasing women holding trays of food, and two foolish buccaneers who have stolen snacks are chased by an angry woman holding a rolling pin. Just beyond is the "Pooped Pirate" drunkenly waving a map and key to a treasure vault, boasting that Captain Jack Sparrow will never see it. Jack is hiding in a barrel just behind him, popping out and getting a good look at the map over the pirate's shoulder. Off to the side, a pirate by the name of "Old Bill" wants to share rum with a group of terrified alley cats.
Carefree, tipsy pirates succeed in ravaging the town and setting it aflame, filling the night air with an orange glow.

The song became the basis for the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, which debuted in 2003. Since 2006, Disney has incorporated characters from the film series into the various versions of the rides.

Exuberant Christmas decorations give the mall a festive atmosphere. Large Christmas wreaths and strings of lights that often look great in combination with the architecture.
The overall looks of the shops are very nice, non of the shops are alike and they are all painted in nice colors with just enough decorations. As a whole it is like a village with beautiful houses.

It's A Small World but room for all.
.
Colorful scenes pass by, but especially the parade-like accompanying music remains in the head long after the visit. The attraction is strongly reminiscent of Disney's "It's A Small World" but it is very nice that there is an Efteling variant.

The cheerful "Carnival Festival" (Est.1984) is a dark ride in the "Reizenrijk" Efteling section. The attraction takes visitors through colorful twenty scenes with music and about 280 puppets where various countries are portrayed from different cultures around the world with typical, clichéd characteristics and the music. A well-known figure in this attraction is "Loeki de Leeuw", so visitors continue to say "Asjemenou!".

Puerto Dorado village overrun by pirates in search of treasure. The first sight is the town square, where some pirates have kidnapped the mayor, Carlos, and threaten to drown him in a well if he doesn't divulge the location of the treasure. Carlos' wife tells him to be brave and not talk; she is shot at as Carlos is repeatedly dunked in the water while several other captive city officials look on. Captain Jack Sparrow is seen hiding behind some dresses. An auction scene follows, where a pirate auctions off loot from the townspeople to other pirates. A redheaded female pirate is more interested in the town's rum supply, as are the bidders, who ignore the chickens that are currently offered for bidding.
In a next scene, pirates run around chasing women holding trays of food, and two foolish buccaneers who have stolen snacks are chased by an angry woman holding a rolling pin. Just beyond is the "Pooped Pirate" drunkenly waving a map and key to a treasure vault, boasting that Captain Jack Sparrow will never see it. Jack is hiding in a barrel just behind him, popping out and getting a good look at the map over the pirate's shoulder. Off to the side, a pirate by the name of "Old Bill" wants to share rum with a group of terrified alley cats.
Carefree, tipsy pirates succeed in ravaging the town and setting it aflame, filling the night air with an orange glow.

Pirates Of The Caribbean - open since april 12, 1992. A 10:30 minute long dark boatride through a fortress and harbour village with lots of animated pirate scenes.
Opening on March 18, 1967, the Disneyland version of Pirates of the Caribbean was the last attraction that Walt Disney himself participated in designing, debuting three months after his death. The ride gave rise to the song "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" written by George Bruns and Xavier Atencio. The song became the basis for the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, which debuted in 2003. Since 2006, Disney has incorporated characters from the film series into the various versions of the rides.
