I'm going there for 3 days in March and I've never been before so if anyone could tell me what attractions and things to check out while there that would be great )

In my short 16 years the amount of times I've been is in the double digits. The Davy Crockett ranch is a bit further out than the other hotels and I'm not sure if there is bus access since I think most people take their own car. You can get fastpasses which make queue times for the most popular attractions substantially shorter but you can only have 1 per ticket at a time unless otherwise stated on the fastpass. As for food I recommend Walts on main street and the blue lagoon in adventureland which looks over the pirates of the carribean ride. In the studios im not as familiar with but there is a nice buffet restaurant that I can't remember the name of. The restaurants aren't cheap but I personally think there worth it. Attractions wise, I would personally make use of the extra park hours I believe you get and ride Big thunder mountain and Space Mountain during this time if possible and the Rock n Rollercoaster. Also souvenirs and ride pictures can really add up so maybe limit yourself on these if you are on a budget because trust me you can just get carried away with this if your not careful.
Hope you have a great time! ✈😆
PM me if you want to know anything else. I think I could probably answer

Thanks for all your tips and advice! So excited to go :smile: yeah we are taking the car with us. We are driving from Scotland to France. Can't say I'm looking forward to the drive tbh! Stopping in at Belgium too after Disneyland.

Frances98 mentioned about the ride photos being really expensive and they are, however if you're not overly fussed about getting the photo printed then you could download the "Disneyland Paris PhotoPass" app and basically what that does is it lets you download them to your phone =) From what I remember it's around 7 pounds for five digital photos =)

I didn't know they had that service now! That sounds great and probably a better option.

Thanks for letting me know about that app. That sounds perfect! I prefer digital copies and then I can just print them out at home. Wish they had that option when I went to the Pleasure Beach last year cuz I spent a fortune on the printed pics there and you can't exactly go somewhere like that and not buy the embarrassing pics :tongue:

Technically breaking the rules here... However, for most of the rides there's a spot before the actual exit which displays all the pictures, and there were never any staff there. I always just took a picture of that photo using my own camera xD Sure, the quality wasn't as good, but it was a lot cheaper. There were a lot of other people doing this too.

Haha good idea. I would do that but I want high quality pics :smile:

Are you allowed to wear Disney tops while in the park? I know adults aren't allowed to wear character costumes but are t shirts allowed? I have a Frozen one I was gonna wear.

Yeah, tops are fine :smile: They just don't want small kids thinking that park guests are the characters :smile:

Yeah I understand why they don't allow costumes, I would have loved to have walked around looking like a Disney princess though :tongue:

I think sometimes they enforce it a bit too strictly though. I saw a video once (sorry, can't find the link) of some girls who were quite clearly not the characters, their costumes were just made themselves. They were still told to leave though :/

They can't stop you from 'disneybounding' (google It) its where your clothes are disney themed but not an actual costume

I downloaded the official Disneyland Paris app. I'm so excited to go :biggrin: just need to decide on whether to go via ferry or the euro tunnel as we are driving to France from Scotland.

Is there a huge price difference? If not then go for the tunnel!

I think the ferry is about £30/40 cheaper but I would get there a lot quicker via the tunnel. Its already an 8 hour drive down to the tunnel and ferry port :eek: stopping over in Calias that night and then gonna do the 3 hour drive to Disneyland.

Go with the ferry then! It'd be an experience 😄

Nostalgia. I went to Disneyland Paris in 2005, and it was really significant for me, being my first proper visit to France despite being a francophile in my teens, and my first 'proper' experience on roller coasters. I enjoyed Space Mountain so much I rode it four times.

Was there the same day as the 21 July failed London bombings, but that's another story.

Its been decided, we are definitely taking the ferry now :smile: I am really excited. Just hoping I don't get sea sick like I did last time I was on a boat!

Heard really good things about Space Mountain. That seems to be an attraction that everyone recommends! Do you think 2 days is enough to see all of the park?
