It only took a few seconds of the music usually broadcast in amusement parks for this father to imagine himself at Disney, rather than at the Jean-Monnet space in Rungis (Val-de-Marne). When he opens his eyes, he sees his 10-year-old daughter having a photo taken with volunteers dressed as Disney princesses or Toy Story characters. “Here we find the magic we love at Disney, but in a different way! During these holidays we will also go to Disney Village, we are passionate…” breathes the one who came from Nantes (Loire-Atlantique) partly to take advantage of the weekend event.
The first unofficial Disney convention in France is organized in Rungis by the Card association (for Champions Association for Renowned Duels). A collective created by fans of the American firm, including the influencer with 700,000 subscribers Maxime Martinez, aka Wonder Hook. “I dreamed of a special moment to meet my community, the success of the Lorcana game gave me the opportunity,” explains the man who chairs Card, constantly challenged by the visitors who follow him on the networks.
