and news
as well as our tips for getting the most
out of visiting disney theme parks
right let's get cracking on our top tips
visiting disneyland resort paris
disneyland paris is one hour by train
from central paris
it's actually located near the town of
maan le valley 20 miles east of central
paris
so the first question is how are you
going to get here
tip number one we recommend taking the
train
we normally find that the train is the
easiest quickest and often the cheapest
way to get to disneyland paris
you can get a flight but do bear in mind
the cost of transfers
and you could drive but you'll need to
include the cost of parking at
disneyland paris
so with the train station right outside
the parks we find the train
the quickest and easiest way to get to
the resort
if you're traveling from the uk you're
likely to be joining the eurostar from
st
pancreas international or you can join
from ebbsfleet international
now this station is often much quieter
it's also much easier to get to if
you're driving and you can park at the
station which may be
easier for you rather than traveling
into central london
right now you've arrived at the
disneyland parish resort let's get
discovering
all the magic that awaits you tip number
two
download the app okay so our second tip
is to download the official disneyland
paris app
you should do this before you arrive as
there's lots of planning capability that
will help you get the most out of your
visit
the app contains maps of the parks and
resorts so you can get your bearings
before you arrive
it lists all the attractions
entertainment restaurant shops
as well as key visitor information like
where to find toilets first aid
guest services and much more you can
find out more information about the
rides like height restrictions get
average prices and menus for the
restaurants
find out where to see characters see
park opening times
and times for parades fireworks and
shows
you can also see the wait times for
rides and while they might not be
reflective of what the wait times will
be when you visit
they will give you a good idea on what
the most popular attractions are
and so will help you plan accordingly
the app also tells you which rides have
a fast pass option
and which attractions restaurant and
entertainment may be closed for
refurbishment during your stay
all this information and more is also
available on the disneyland paris
website but the app is really handy to
have while you're in the parks
and disney has free wi-fi for guests
throughout the resort
so you don't have to worry about eating
into your data plan
just remember using the app in the park
and taking all those photos is going to
take its toll
on your phone battery so top tip number
three
pack a portable charger another app you
might want to think about downloading is
the disney photopass app
many of the attractions have built-in
cameras to capture you enjoying the
rides
and at selected character meet and
greets with the app you just need to
scan the qr code
and the photos will immediately be added
to your account
tip number four you can adjust your ride
photos
so if your head is cut off or there's an
issue speak to the cast members
and they can adjust the photo move
things around and try and help you get
picture perfect
if you were sat on the ride with a
stranger they can also replace them with
a character
which is a really awesome effect
alongside this app you'll need to
purchase a photo pass
this can be bought in the majority of
shops within the resort
tip number five ask the cast members
the cast members are there to help you
so make the most of their knowledge
disney cast members are amazing really
friendly
incredibly knowledgeable and they love
nothing better than helping guests
most of the cast members at disneyland
paris are fluent in english and french
and many of the cast members also speak
other languages
you can see on their name badges which
languages they speak
and if they don't know the answer
they'll always find it for you
if you need assistance or want some
advice don't hesitate to ask they
genuinely love assisting guests
and interacting with you in the theme
parks disney's array of attractions
is second to none from thrill rides to
immersive experiences
to enchanting rides for little ones
there's so much to explore and enjoy
if you're visiting with children many of
the rides do have height restrictions
so our top tip number six check the
height restrictions
if you're traveling with children our
advice is to work out which ones your
children will be able to ride in advance
there's nothing worse than your child
looking forward to a ride that it's not
safe for them to go on
and it's better to tell them that they
won't be able to do certain rides or
avoid those areas completely
to bypass the tears but don't worry
there is a great range of rides with no
height restrictions
and lots of the child friendly ones are
fantastic for adults too
rider switch is also available if
there's an attraction that you really
keen to ride but your child is not tall
enough
so you can queue together as a family
and then take it in turns to ride the
attraction
and look after the kids so you don't
have to miss out on a single thing
tip number seven make a plan before
leaving the resort
we'd recommend you make a list of which
attractions you really want to go on
depending on what time of year you're
going the parks get really busy
and throughout the peak summer period
and weekends the wait times for
attractions can become really long
sometimes topping two hours or more for
certain attractions
you can avoid the cues by using fast
pass but you need
to use these strategically so watch our
video on fast passes for how to get the
best out of them
and which attractions you can use them
on have you looked at our video on the
top 10 attractions at disneyland paris
if not be sure to check it out after
this video to help plan the attractions
you don't want to miss
no matter what you're going to want to
plan which attractions you and your
party want to do most
and plan for how much time you have we'd
visit disneyland every day if we could
but we'd recommend three days is a good
amount of time to spend visiting the
parks where possible
if you only have one day you need to
think about if you'll visit both parks
or just one
you also need to think about what time
you're going to get to the parks
the parks tend to get busier throughout
the day as more guests arrive
so if you have children it is worth
thinking about whether you want them to
make it through to the fireworks
the parks can be very tiring especially
if it's hot
the disneyland resort is huge and you
can quickly rack up a lot of steps and
tie yourself out
by zigzagging across the park so try and
stick to an area before moving on
and in disneyland park you can use the
disneyland railroad to help get between
each land
the train runs around the perimeter of
the park allowing you to hop on and off
in different lands with stations in main
street usa at the entrance of the park
frontierland fantasyland and
discoveryland
top tip number eight be ready to break
your plan
i know right we just told you to make a
plan and now we're telling you to break
it
well disney parks have amazing things
going on all the time
unexpected things like characters
suddenly appearing spotting really short
wait times for a great attraction
or getting a last minute table at one of
the best restaurants
we like to have a plan but we know it
can never work out 100
so we like to take a little detour every
now and then and enjoy whatever is going
on
so as you can see there is lots to
explore at disneyland paris
