Disneyland® Paris Multi-day Ticket

AMAZING experience. I’ve been to Disneyland Paris (then called EuroDisney) 30 years ago and now we came back to celebrate my son’s 13th birthday. The kids (13, 9, 9 and 8 months) had SO much fun with all the rides, shows and parades! A definite must

Revisited here after first visiting back in 1996. It's a good idea to download the Disney app as it gives you the times of parades, shows and queueing times of the attractions but found the app was a bit useless unless you had WiFi access. We visited here on a Monday outside the main school holidays but found it still to be as busy as if it were the peak times. The park is beautifully maintained as you'd expect from Disney but there are a number of building works going on and some of the rides were closed. There's still plenty of stuff for all ages to do and there were shows and parades which we missed because we wasted so much time queueing. Most of the rides were great with some quirky rides too and a few white knuckle ones which'll please the older kids. The highlight for me was the fantastic fireworks and drone show at the end of the night. We had to stand at the back of main street much of the area is closed off 30 minutes before the display starts. We spent almost 12 hours in the park walking just shy of 10 miles and were totally shattered by the end of the day. I would like to go back again in the future but my advice is give it a few years when Disney finish doing all of the building works. A tiring day, but great fun.

Overall: The trip had some extremely magical moments thanks to the hotel, the characters and some extras we got staying here. I booked directly through the Disneyland Paris website and it was a simple process and there were a number of options for paying. The Studios park, despite the ongoing works was great fun, and I’m excited to visit here in the future but the Disneyland park was a bit of a let down. The magic has seriously been lost in this park, between people queue jumping (I don’t mean priority pass but literally grown adults hoping barriers), shoving small children to the ground and miserable cast members, the experience didn’t live up to expectations (I’ll explain more below). Overall however we had a great few days and we’re already planning our next Disney adventure (possibly a UK cruise 🤞). Day 1 - Travel and Hotel: I ordered the express luggage service through Disney which meant we could head straight to the park on arrival and do some attractions before our hotel was ready. I would recommend this for anyone who thinking of booking it. We met Darth Vader (shout out to cast member Fredric managing the queue here who was wonderful), and did a few extra . Great start to the trip! We headed over to our hotel, Hotel New York - Art of Marvel which is simply wonderful, from the artwork to the interior design, we loved the experience. That evening we had dinner in the Manhattan with wine included for me, which I thoroughly enjoyed, followed by drinks at the skyline bar and a trip to the kids club to draw some superhero’s. We loved the whole superhero’s in the city vibe everywhere in the hotel. Day 2 - Hotel Extras and Studios Park: The morning at the hotel we had breakfast delivered to our room, which came to €24 for two of us so we could eat and get ready for the day at the same time. I wish in hindsight we did this more or got a meal plan because breakfast options aren’t great (or much cheeper) in the village. Our morning was taken up exploring the hotel and meeting Captain America at the superhero station before we headed off to the pool for a dip. The pool was warm, Jacuzzi was really nice and the sauna was lovely to relax. Only downside here is the depth of the pool which isn’t great if you’re not a strong swimmer (like me). My son loved it however because he can tread water, but there’s lots of floatation toys and free armbands if your little ones aren’t swimmers. By midday we were strolling over to studios park and using the app to plan stops we managed all the “big rides” and the Pixar Show. A tip for Crush is to wait until the end of the day when people are heading over to the main park for the fireworks. We joined the queue at 7:30pm and were able to ride and still have time for another go of ratatouille before closing at 8pm. We loved the Studio park despite the work ongoing, the different worlds are beautifully designed here and can’t wait to see frozen / lion king. For dinner we ate at PYMs which is perfect for families and a big winner for any marvel fans, with lots of options for fussy eaters. Day 3 - Disneyland Park: We decided to grab something on the way to the park for breakfast and stopped at Starbucks which is fine but it lacked that magic we had in the hotel breakfast. It also came to €18 so wasn’t a massive saving. As it was Halloween season the park was decorated but Frontierland was amazing. Probably our favourite area of the park. Fantasyland was looking very rundown and in desperate need of a paint and discoveryland is a bit off with the mix of Star Wars, Buzz and the Jules Verne vibe, it’s like it’s been thrown together rather than thought out. Maybe it’ll get updated after studios. Again I used the app as much as possible to do the rides, Peter Pan wasn’t open for magic hour so missed out here. I would recommend anyone thinking of it, just buy a priority pass for this ride, we queued for 1.5 hours. The app said 50 minutes but I don’t think it accounted for the number of people queue jumping. It seems in this park particularly the etiquette is that one member of the group will wait in line while others go about the park and come back to join the queue with the person waiting. Frustrating but not really Disney’s fault. All other rides we queued 5-20 minutes for because I used the app, which I think is pretty good and managed to get done everything we wanted including doing Pirates and Phantom Mannor twice. We skipped dinner today and instead wanted to try lots of the Halloween/Disney snacks but this was very hit or miss. Churos, burritos and a batwing doughnut in Frontierland were nice and suited the theming. The corn dog and popcorn from fantasyland was our favourite. Cafe Hyperion where they sell the Micky Halloween burger was atrocious. We waited 20 minutes to get served, the poor guy at the till kept getting up and going to the counter because the server couldn’t work fast enough for the orders coming though so he was trying to chip in and catch up the orders. When we did get our food and went to find a seat one cast member shouted at me for trying to sit at a 4 seat table when there were only two of us. She made us get up and follow her around the restaurant looking for a two seater table. People were looking and it felt very uncomfortable being paraded around when there was a number of empty tables. She then had to make us up a 2 seater space near the exit ramp which was even worse because prams and wheelchair users were blocked but she told us to sit and eat very abruptly. I just wanted to get out of there so badly so we quickly ate the burgers and left. There was no drone show on the evening which I expected because there had been poor weather all week and we didn’t see much of the fireworks either. The one thing that topped me over the edge in this park was a grown man pushing my son to the floor where he was seriously hurt, he is still bruised from how hard he was pushed and a number of people were annoyed along with me and were telling this man to apologies but he simply shrugged his shoulders and went about filming the fireworks. Cast members used to be dotted along main street and would stop pushing and shoving but this has died off which is a shame. I would recommend anyone with children try and buy a priority pass simply from a safety perspective. Day 4 - Last Day / Check out: We got up early and headed to the parks for a few last rides, as well as a trip to the dragon and meeting with Maleficent before heading back to the hotel at 10am. When we got back the hotel staff were already in the middle of changing the room so we had to get our cases and sort ourselves in the corridor. This wasn’t an issue for me because we were leaving but if people are waiting until the 11am check out this might be slightly annoying. All in all we really enjoyed, the hotel and extras were outstanding and anyone planning to stay at the hotel you will have an amazing time.

Omg it’s amazing stuff childhood dreams are made of and you definitely won’t want to come home , from the minute you enter it’s wonderful for children and adults we got a 3 day ticket but next time will do 5 days as there is so much to see and do the rides the shows the parades are outstanding , every single detail is magical , I would suggest and hope everyone visits at least once in there lifetime , believe me you will return

Visited for the 1st time, two adults & two teenage boys. We arrived half an hour before the park opened & got to the front of the ques for it opening. We went at it all day only stopping for food & left at the fireworks at the end. We managed to see all the parades, do most of the rides & attractions apart from a few small ones. I have been to Florida & yes, as a comparison this doesn't have all the attractions Florida does, but it's pretty much the same as the Magic Kingdom! Remember it's not 'Disneyworld', it's 'Disneyland'. It's a brilliant day out, has something for everyone & is still a great Disney park! Wear comfy trainers, get a good sleep the night before & be prepared to be tired out if you're going to try get round everything in one day!
