Question

I am soon going to be going to disneyland paris soon and i was wondering what some of the rides were like and what are the best rides? and it is also my first time on a plane and i am VERY nervous, how can i get over my fear?

Answer 1

i cant help you with the rides as i have never been, try going to the website and checking them out there.

as for the fear of flying, i know exactly what you are talking about, i used to be exactly the same.

i remember my boyfriend booked a flight for me to go and visit him when we first got together (i lived in england, he was in ireland) i was so scared i called him from the airport and told him i would rather leave him than get on the plane! i was going to fly on my own for the first time ever and i was scared.

when the plane took off i gripped the seat like there was no tomorrow, but, once it was in the air i started to like it. i found it interesting to look out the window and see the beauty below me.

tips:

take a book to distract you

take your mp3 player

just look forward to your holiday.

Answer 2

Flying is easy - just take an MP3 player or a book or anything to distract you. Going up in the air is a bit like a smooth rollercoaster and can make your tummy go a bit funny, but once you're in the air it's really quiet and peaceful.

As for Disneyland, go painfully early to avoid queues. By "painfully" I mean wake up at 5am to get there at 5:30am if you want to see the entire Park.

There's two areas: Disneyland Park (the big, proper fun one) and Walt Disney Studios Park (the smaller spin-off, more geeky one). You can only visit one or the other, unless you bought a ticket which lets you see both.

If you're only seeing one, I highly recommend Disneyland Park first. Then, on your third visit, you can see Walt Disney Studios Park.

You can also see Disney Village, which is basically loads of cinemas, restaurants and shops. You can enter it at anytime, no matter which park you went to.

WEAR TRAINERS. TRAINERS ARE ESSENTIAL. I cannot stress this anymore. You will be walking. A lot. Make them extra comfortable, because you'll also be stationary a lot.

Also, GET A BACKPACK. One that isn't too big, but will fit everything in and is comfortable on your shoulders. You could take sandwiches and a couple of drinks with you if you want, but not a picnic because you'll be moved to a designated picnic area (which is right near the entrance). If you don't want to carry around food, then carry around your credit card!

Get a camera, and a camcorder. Make sure both have a good quality zoom, just in case you're standing far away.

When you get to the car park, you'll see a long line of what looks like carnival tents, enter one of them and you'll begin what I call The Endless Line of Conveyor Belts. You'll have fun for a bit pretending to be the Bionic Woman, shooting past pedestrians on the conveyor belt things.

But when you go back home, you'll appreciate the moving floor idea.

You'll eventually reach the queue where they check bags and stuff. After that, there's another queue where you have to stick your ticket in a scanner machine and then you're in Disneyland Park. This is one of the biggest queues, and be warned, people do push in a lot. I got so angry the first time this happened to me, but after a couple of visits you learn to keep your place in the queue.

Get about five or six Park Guides. They'll be propped up on a wall in different languages. It seems wasteful, but you'll need that many, because if you only get one it ends up tearing apart in your hand. It's only made of paper.

Plan your journey well. You don't want to end up walking up and down the Park (which stretches for miles).

You'll notice that there is a train that goes around the Park. It's really nice, but do NOT go on the train when it is raining. I made that horrible mistake and I regret it.

Get one of those Fasticket things. They'll cut off at least 5 minutes off the predicted queue time, but every little helps.

Aim for open-plan areas - as soon as more than three people are left in a small plot of land it gets wayyy too crowded.

Arm yourself with LOTS of cash - it's really expensive, and you will want to buy everything from the gift shops. I did, anyway.

When buying stuff from gift shops, make sure they'll keep you occupied in the queues. Trust me, they are long. Really, really, painfully long.

You must try to visit the Parade last, which happens on the Main Street quite late in the afternoon. This is when you'll need a camcorder and/or a camera. It's really good, but make sure you turn up early so you don't end up recording footage of people's heads.

Sorry this is really long, I just wanted to make sure that you don't make the same mistakes that I did!

Best rides in Disneyland Park (I haven't visited the Studios yet): - "Space Mountain." I never went on this because I had just eaten my dinner! But, my friend did and she said it's very twisty-turny, i.e. 360 turns and lots of neon lights.

- "Pirates of the Caribbean." Uber-long queue, so watch it. Near the end of the ride, your photo is taken, so remember to smile!

- "Star Tours". Virtual tour of Star Wars space. Lots of simulated bumps and simulated speeds (and falls!) so you might not want to board if you're still scared of flying.

- "It's A Small World". Less thrills here, it's just a nice boatride around mini sets of well-known countries. Very cute little ride, and remember to check out the views once you've came off the boat. Very cute.

Answer 3

The best ride is Thunder Mountain Railway if you like roller coasters. It's a pretty long ride for a coaster and fairly smooth as well. The other coasters are all pretty jerky.

If your flight is more than 5 hours take a sleeping pill a half hour before boarding. You may be asleep before you even take off.
