Year 13 Computer Science, ICT and Media Studies students visited Disneyland Paris in half term. They had a great time and got to experience:

- a variety of Disney shows and parades
- how a company such as Disney are able to incorporate ICT throughout the park to create a unique customer experience (from virtual and augmented reality, animation techniques, motion sensors and 3D experiences)
