Great first families! It's similar to the American parks. I'm so bad at this ride no matter what…read morepark but I don't care. If you are very competitive, and not great at aiming, it might be worth skipping to avoid conflict. But it's fun. It's cute. Love that you can hold the gun and it's not mounted like in WDW (helps if your not great at point & shoot games like this) If you're a big Buzz stan, you can't miss it!

Okay so we were going to do the Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast…read more... But honestly, I didn't wanna get my butt kicked by my fiancé lol that's the truth! He's sooooo good at video games and stuff! I knew I would be no competition for him and I really don't wanna a photo showing the evidence of my terrible score and his near perfect one LOL I'm just being very candid with this. So we walked right by this attraction, and carried on. Plus the line was too long of a wait. But also- that spared me the embarrassment! lol thank goodness (whew)

THE GOOD -----------------…read more+ Still a pretttty big park to conquer, but relatively manageable for small kids. + No shortage of amazing Disney-themed rides! All of the traditional ones (e.g., It's a Small World, Mad Hatter's Tea Cups, Pirates of the Caribbean,) that Disney fans grew up with at other Disney parks, are here too! + Many rides are for kids of all ages, with the exception of only a few that require riders to be of a certain height (e.g., Hyperspace Mountain, Orbitron, etc.) + Sooooo much scenery (e.g., Sleeping Beauty's Castle, Main Street, themed lands, rides, parade) to take pictures of and with. + Plenty of restaurants to dine in at, including buffets, or do counter service. The food is actually decent and unlike the usual fast food served in the States. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Warning to non-kid lovers - Avoid Disney parks at all costs. There will be enough tantrums, crying, rude acts, complaints, unsanitary bathrooms, fart smells that will test any person's patience and stomach. - Felt that more tourists were rude here versus at the U.S. parks - might have been due to the language barrier and that many tourists were from all over Europe speaking different languages, so people were unable to communicate their pleasantries/courtesy. - Expectedly long lines for the most popular rides (e.g., Peter Pan's Flight) - Where were the Disney characters???? Not a whole lot of Disney characters to take photos with, unlike in the U.S. parks. - Disney cast members weren't the most friendliest/engaging or as happy-looking as in the U.S. parks. - Oddly, there were no soft drinks for children sold at the vendor stands. Only Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite, Fanta and Fuze Ice Tea were available. Children drinks (apple or orange juice) were only sold at restaurants. - The fireworks show occurs VERY late at 10:30 PM, so keeping up little ones can be a challenge. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- = Once 7 PM hit, the crowd noticeably got smaller, not to say it was empty, but there was definitely less people as some families left, either for the day or to return later in the evening for the fireworks show. CONCLUSION -------------------- = This is a Disney park so expect all things Disney here - buildings, structures, statues, rides, characters, restaurants. Make sure your phone is FULLY charged and bring a phone charger pack! There will be long waits for rides and some counter service restaurants + lots of people no matter when you visit, so bring your best version and patience. Most importantly, HAVE A GOOD TIME!

While visiting Paris this week and having the time to come here I decided to spend the day at…read moreDisneyland Paris and compare it to Disneyland in LA and the Magic Kingdom in Orlando. Unfortunately it's in 3rd place. Yes, admission fees are less here and it shows. Here are some of my observations; This park seems smaller and has fewer attractions than the other two. The number of dining options (both table and counter service) appear to be similar. The train ride around the park only makes one additional stop other than the one at the entrance and there isn't much to see on that ride. Kind of boring. I noticed several areas of the park had leaves and other natural vegetation on the ground that needed to be swept up. You would not see that at the other two parks. They stay immaculate. Also, I thought that some of the areas needed some remodeling and freshening up. Another thing was that most of the food/souvenir carts were not open. Not sure why? Two positive things were that the RER Metro runs a train to within 200 yards of the front entrance which makes it very convenient to come here from Paris without a car. It only costs 2.5€ to make that 40 minute trip from central Paris. The other was that I had a good meal at Agrabah restaurant in the park. Yes it was 45€ with a drink but the food quality was very good and it is an all you can eat restaurant. If you live in Europe this location is convenient and that is why it is popular. It's like visiting the US without actually having to travel there and spending a lot of time and money to do so. However if you come to the US and go to either of the other two parks you will notice that this place is not up to par.

Great food and service. Had the best bottle of champagne in Reims. Unfortunately we forgot the name…read moreon the bottle.

Tapas are served to complement the champagnes. The crowd ist a good mixture of young people, families and winemakers from the region. It's not a cheap place but it's worth a visit and every "penny".
