THE GOOD -----------------…read more+ The World of Disney store is located right by the entrance ... and you probably don't need to do much exploring beyond that since it's mostly restaurants. + Manageable walk for kids and not very big. + Directly connected to the Disney hotels once you get past the restaurants. + FREE to visit! Extremely important :) + Many bus lines and the train make stops here, so it's very easy to access and travel to. THE NOT SO GOOD ------------------------------- - Mostly comprised of restaurants and not much else. - Relatively small compared to Disney World's Disney Springs (or so I heard). MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------‐---------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------------ = Good for a leisurely stroll and to get a short breather from the actual Disneyland Paris and rides, although you probably won't be doing much exploring unless you have an off-day from the parks or have extra time to spare.

I love how there's always one store which has amazing pins, but I did feel like there should have been a 'maker' shop Disneyland California and Tokyo Disney both have where you can make embroidered and personalized items with your name on them. It was also a bit of a bummer for me that Disneyland Paris had no Pooh ride, but Adventureland had the best Pooh merch of all the stores we stopped into, even though you would think Fantasyland would be the place to go. Finally, the pin trading at Disneyland Paris is not to be beat. The pins are amazing, high quality and large, and trading in Adventureland was one of the highlights of our visit. All in all, Adventureland is definitely an area not to be missed if you're visiting Disneyland Paris.

My friend and I were able to experience just about everything we wanted in around 4-5 hours on a Sunday. If you want to optimize time you can definitely pair with Disneyland Park and do a 1 day trip. If you've been to Walt Disney World in Florida, this park feels very similar to Hollywood Studios in both layout and attractions. It has a familiar vibe, especially with the Tower of Terror, which was a childhood favorite of mine. During my mid-June visit, the crowds were surprisingly manageable. The wait times were relatively short all day, and the only ride I used Premier Access for was Tower of Terror, which cost about $12 and was well worth it. One of my favorite areas was Avengers Campus. The atmosphere is fantastic, but I was disappointed to learn that the superhero photo experiences can only be booked through the Disneyland Paris app on the day of your visit. By the time I arrived, every reservation was already gone. I really wish they offered more traditional character meet-and-greet lines or standby photo opportunities for guests who miss out on reservations. Overall, this isn't the best Disney park in the world, but it's still a solid experience that's absolutely worth visiting, especially if you're already making the trip all the way to Paris. Just go in knowing it's a smaller park, and you'll likely have a great time.

I was really intrigued to visit this park when visiting DLP. I feel like the best way I can…read moredescribe it is if Hollywood Studios and Disney's California Adventure had a baby. This park is pretty small, but is about to become a lot larger with the Frozen land opening next year. For now, you'll find Toy Story Land, Avengers Campus, and some favorites like Tower of Terror and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. PLus, some unique rides, like Crush's Coaster (my fave in the park!!) I love the entrance, which is a large, inside area that makes you feel like you are under a starry night sky in Hollywood. This park is literally right next to the entrance of DLP, so it's easy to park hop. You'd probably get everything done in a day here easily, if not sooner. It's good for what it is, but nothing like its neighboring park. I can't wait to see it get even better next year, though!

It also pinned my arms down so I was a little (read a lot**) claustrophobic j the first round and sort of panicking the whole time. Riding a second time to try to enjoy the ride. Definitely WAY MORE intense than our home park (WDW) and the seats are side by side. I believe you go upside down at least once. It does feel shorter than WDW though. The first half of the queue is outdoors so be prepared for a possible rain situation. Thoughts the second time around, I made a conscious effort to make sure the safety restraint wasn't as tight this time around and for the first half of the ride that worked really well for me. Or was not uncomfortable or claustrophobic , nor did it feel unsafe. But because the ride is quite intense, the sheer force of the ride actually pushed the restraint all the way down mid way through and I had the same panicked feeling and I am am only mildly claustrophobic (meaning my main issue is when I feel pinned down-small spaces do not bother me, neither do most roller coaster restraints. This was actually a first for me on any amusement park ride. I think this sensation is added to by the shadow of the seer which is molded to pad your back and neck from turbulence but for me it just added to the panic of "I can't move" While I definitely think it would be so fun if it weren't for that one issue, given the opportunity I would not ride again. There is also two sets of unavoidable stairs in the queue. Just fair warning. The ride itself is very deep, narrow, and low so getting in and out is challenging in a space where you are express to do so quickly.

Disneyland Paris!…read more Disneyland Paris is a park I have dreamed of visiting for most of my life. After finally booking a trip to Paris I couldn't leave without visiting the park. Disneyland Paris was easily accessible via public transportation which takes you right to the gate (Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy). I personally thought that was convenient and perfect for anyone who did not have a car. When entering the park the first thing I noticed was how spread out but small things were. The things we wanted to do were far apart from one another. One thing that I found helpful was their app which showed your live location, making it easy to navigate in the right direction. The next thing I thought was cool was their premier experience. For approximately €100 extra, you are able to get fast passes for every ride with no time restrictions. If you did not want to do this they offered a per ride option which was €5-€20 depending on the attraction. The food in the park was really tasty. I enjoyed trying different food and options whiz was a nice touch. My personal favorite was being able to try crepes from the carts. Overall, my experience was pretty great. However, I feel like there is also so much more to see in Paris. If you've been to the park once, I do not think you need to go again.

From someone who has been to Disney World many times, DLP did not disappoint. It was charming and…read morebeautiful. My family liked Disneyland Park better. There were more rides and things to do this side. Adventure World was great too, but not as many rides and things to do for us. The drone show was amazing! Several complaints. First, as a tourist attraction, the cast members should be able to speak and understand English better. We tried to ask questions or ordered something, and the CMs misunderstood us or could not answer our questions. Next, the bus: maybe it's a French culture thing? In USA the people know to always let all passengers off first before boarding the bus. At DLP no one waited. The bus has three doors, which made it even worse. Last, and the worst of all... people were smoking and vaping all the time. There is no one to enforce the no smoking rule. All the supposedly smoking areas are around toilets. Really really bad.

The original Fantasyland at Disneyland is smaller and cramped, it wasn't designed to handle the crowds it receives, but Paris did a great job in their version - it doesn't feel like an echo but still evokes the classic. My biggest frustration is just like Tokyo Disney, Disney Paris just doesn't have a great Alice in Wonderland merch section. That being said, there is an Alice in Wonderland Alice's Curious Labyrinth in this section but we saw hide nor hare of it (see what I did there) so either it was closed or it was't well advertised. All in all, I like what they did with the area and personally think it's more successful than Disney World Magic Kingdom, but nothing can really compete with the original un my opinion.

C'est le meilleur parc sur terre!! :)…read more I really enjoyed visiting Parc Astérix three summers ago, not trying to measure it up to Disneyland or American equivalents, but as a uniquely French amusement park, rather off the beaten path for two Americans. It took us forever to get there since the shuttle never picked us up at the Louvre due to rain, we trekked it to Charles de Gaulle and caught the charter bus from there. Soaked in rolled up jeans, flip flops and "100% anti pluie" ponchos, we had a blast sipping on tall cans of 1664 and running around the amusement park. There are plenty of old, Romanesque statues and plenty of photo opps. Lots of fun rides for families and people of any age, and it felt very safe. And the gift shop sold HOOKAHS. Tell me where you'd find that in les États-Unis! Way worth the bus ride out there from Paris!

During summer it stays light so long that most European women haven't decided what they're serving for dinner until 8:00. But this place closes at 6:00. Earns 'em triple bonus points on the looser-ometer. And the height restrictions. Ugh. They've got this height chart posted all over the park that breaks kid's heights into three categories. Kiddie rides only, Must be accompanied and Can ride unaccompanied. Both kids are Must ride accompanied or taller so we're golden. Dad can take his kiddos on everything! Until we show up to one of the more fun looking rides a discover that they've got a totally different height chart. Now neither of the girls are tall enough. Come on! It was stupid and a serious buzz kill. The best ride of the park was the Hydra. We ran most of the way over there and ended up being the last group of riders for the day. This thing spins you around and hops you up and down so smoothly that I was squealing like and idiot for a solid 5 minutes. And the fact that my little girls were right there with me? What a joy. And an awesome way to end the day. Park's closed, I carry my littlest one to the parking lot and think "Hey, only an hour and a half til dinner."

It's different enough that some sections are a surprise, but classic enough that it makes you smile while you ride it. I loved that this version had a Hollywood section and rather well flushed out United Kingdom section. I also thought it was nice that roughly half the ride is in English and half is in French and the transition is subtle enough you barely notice it. Overall, this is one of the rides I'd definitely recommend doing if you're from the states and visit France, as it doesn't feel like an echo, but it's own take on the classic.

And the final room is beautiful. As an American seeing the "American" section is so interesting to see. I loved it! My home park is WDW and there were a lot of items in this ride that were identical but were actually working. For example I can't remember the last time I was in the FL version and the hula dancers were working. It was so refreshing and fun to experience! I am a Stan of this ride. I have to visit to the parks (any park) so I loved it. I'd you or your child doesn't like dolls, then just skip it.
