From the moment a child discovers the enchantment of Disney and learns of a park dedicated to it, you can be certain they'll long to experience it first-hand! While the much larger Disneyland may be situated across the Atlantic, its European counterpart awaits in Paris. Yet, while a family holiday to America is undoubtedly exciting, with costs potentially soaring into the tens of thousands of pounds, a trip to Disneyland Paris presents a more budget-friendly option for most.
Having enchanted visitors for over 30 years, Disneyland Paris has continually evolved to showcase the latest and most thrilling creations from Disney. The park is divided into five distinct sections, each with its own captivating theme:
Home to the legendary Space Mountain Roller-coaster, now transformed into Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, this section transports visitors to a galaxy far, far away. A must-visit for Star Wars enthusiasts, it remains a firm favourite for many, particularly dads.
Is your child a fervent admirer of Disney princesses? Then this is their ultimate destination, where Sleeping Beauty's castle stands as an iconic backdrop for countless family photographs, eliciting smiles from all who behold it.
Are you passionate about Pirates of the Caribbean? Then make this your next port of call in the park. Daily meet and greets with Captain Jack Sparrow await (while other characters roam the park, the opportunity to meet the legendary Jack should not be missed!). Additionally, Pirates’ Beach offers a delightful respite for little ones to stretch their legs away from the bustling crowds.
Embark on a journey to the wild west, where two more beloved family attractions await. Big Thunder Mountain Roller-coaster has thrilled riders since the park's inception in 1992, remaining a quintessential experience. Similarly, Phantom Manor offers a spine-chilling mystery tour with eerie encounters at every twist and turn.
Home to the famed parades, Main Street offers a plethora of shops and dining options to keep visitors entertained for hours. However, beware, as a stroll down Main Street can easily dent your wallet!
While it's entirely possible to explore the entire park in a day, take your time to plan and prioritise the attractions you wish to experience. Here are some hints and tips to maximise your visit:
Arrive early. While it may seem obvious to beat the crowds, there are instances when the gates open before the official opening time, granting early access to prime spots when the rides commence.
Eager to experience as many rides as possible? Consider purchasing a FAST PASS. Though they come at a cost, they prove invaluable in minimising time spent queuing, allowing you to make the most of your day.
Start your day by heading to the back of the park and gradually work your way towards the entrance. This strategy grants access to rides with shorter queues, while also positioning you closer to the exit as fatigue sets in and little legs grow weary.
Disneyland Paris remains a truly magical destination, captivating both children and adults alike, ensuring they return year after year to savour its enchantment. Enjoy the adventure!
