Anyone been to Disneyland?

Question

I am going at Easter with my 6 year old boy and I am really excited (I am like a big kid). Has anyone been before and have any good or bad stories to tell me?

Answer 1

euro disney was not build in the wrong city nor the wrong country. If you like theme parks, you will enjoy it.

It is rather funny for us (I am French) because everything is made for you to feel just like you're dreaming.

First, you enter (before that you might queue quite a long time : if you can buy tickets before, it is much better).

Then, you can do everything for free. Of course if you want to eat or buy souvenirs, it is expensive. But you will always find someone speking english, people smile there (even if working conditions are very hard).

It is a nice place to go with children because you can do things you would not dare to : for example visit the "it's a small world" enchanting attraction.

See on a map (on disney web site:  http://www.disneylandparis.co.uk/index.x... ) the attractions you want to go to.

The bad thing there is that you aften have to wait before going there or there : 30 mn queuing before Star Tours, 45 mn wainting for Peter Pan (for example).

My advice (not written in their webguides) : when you know exactly what you do not want to miss, you go there, and ask for the people there the "file-cutting vouchers" (billets coupe-file, in French). It is a ticket (you can ask for 1, 2 or more) on which is written a specific time. For example, you want to go to Pinocchio house but thay annouce 1h waiting : you ask for 2 file-cutting vouchers, on it it is written 14.15 and you come back at 2.15 pm and you take a specific waiting queue (only 5 to ten minuts)

Enjoy your trip in Paris

Answer 3

Which one, California, Florida, Tokyo or Paris. Ive not been to Tokyo but have visited the others and think they are great apart from Paris which quite frankly is the biggest waste of space i have ever come across. Its like a duck out of water. The French for all their plus sides just cannot do what the Americans do so well and the park just feels so wrong. Eurodisney was built in the wrong city in the wrong country.

Answer 4

When we were planning our trip, I found this site extremely helpful.

Stay as close to the park as possible. Reserve lunch where you want to eat. We would go back to the hotel for dinner and then hit the park afterwards to beat some of the queues for the rides.

Do the less busy rides during the day or even better, get up early and be there when it opens. Just plan on making everything a little early, getting up, eating, going to bed, etc. to maximize your time there.

I'm actually NOT a fan of the place. I'm from California and have also been to the ones in So.Ca and Florida. This one is just too cold but ignore me, go and have a great time!

Answer 5

My friend once told me about her trip to Eurodisney - she said that she couldn't sleep the night before, and was really tired when she went, so keep a lid on your pre-disneyland excitement.  But the second day she went there, she arrived when it opened and left just before it closed - there's some mountain ride that is meant to be THE BEST!!!! and my friend said it's only for people who are thrill seekers - perhaps not best 4 ur 6yr old, but take some time out for yourself and have a go!!!

Answer 6

Oh, disneyland is soooo great! You'll have so much fun.

Everytime I went, I didnot want to leave.
