Disneyland Resort Paris

Disneyland Resort Paris

Disneyland Park & Walt Disney Studios

Two Parks, Double the magic!

Christmas is my favourite time of year to visit Disneyland Resort in Paris. Thousands of sparkling lights adorn the resort & light up the sky, festively dressed cast members & characters share the holiday cheer and the Parisien winter sunshine creates a stunning backdrop, making it the perfect place to make some magical merry memories.

But whatever time of year you visit, the Walt Disney vision of delivering a seamless magical experience to all guests can be felt throughout the park. Although, in my opinion, it doesn't sparkle quite as brightly as Walt Disney World in Florida, it never fails to capture hearts & inspire imagination through a whole host of parades, attractions, themed hotels, fireworks, shows and delicious Mickey shaped treats.

Little Bundles

The Baby Care Centre (located by Plaza Gardens Restaurant) has a fully equipped baby care room with bottle warming facilities, feeding & baby change area. There are items to purchase, including

nappies, wipes, and baby food.

Discovery Arcade & Liberty Arcade- These are undercover walkways that run parallel either side of Main Street so if you're looking

for a quiet seat with your bambino or need to shelter from the rain

then this is the place to be! You can still access the shops and 

restaurants from inside the walkway.

A little extra magic

Don’t miss the Disney Magic on Parade at 17:30 daily in Disneyland Park. The best Parade viewing area is outside the Pizzeria Bella Notte in Fantasyland, it’s much quieter than on Main Street so you’ll get a much better view!

Disney Village

A magical mix of restaurants, live shows, street performers, bars and shops,definitely worth a visit!

Restaurants include Planet Hollywood, Rainforest Café, Annette’s Diner & Billy Bob’s Country Saloon. There’s also a Mcdonalds, Starbucks and Earl of Sandwich for quick bites.

You can access the village without Disney Park tickets, so it’s the perfect place to visit in the evenings for a wander round the shops and indulge in a little Disney magic!

There’s also an air balloon ride by the lake; it’s tethered and doesn’t go very high so is perfect for all the family.

Festive Fun

The Holiday Season is well underway at Disneyland Paris, with the merry magic running from 7th November 2015- 7th January 2016. 

Here are our favourite Christmas festivities taking place across the resort:

Christmas Parade- a merry musical procession featuring your favourite characters and of course Santa on his sleigh! 

Disney Dreams of Christmas- A seasonal twist to the nighttime fireworks spectacular, with appearances from Frozen characters! Takes place daily at Park closing time. 

Frozen Sing-along and Royal welcome. Anna & Elsa will be rolling through the streets of Disneyland Park in a horse drawn carriage. Check times when you arrive. 

Disney village will be covered in a blanket of snow and twinkling fairy lights while hosting festive street entertainment, live concerts & sparkling surprises. 

And a few final thoughts…

Park Ticket Prices (correct as of Winter 2015):

£69 per adult or £64 per child for a 1 day/2 Parks Pass

Download the free Disneyland Paris App for your phone to access information about show times, plus wait times for rides and any ride closures.

Photopass- Let the professionals take photos of the whole family as you make your way around the park and on rides. You can purchase in advance on the website or any of the main shops when you arrive at the park.

Transportation is so easy; the Eurostar takes you directly from London to Disneyland, so you're amidst the magic from the moment you step off the train. Most of the hotels nearby provide shuttle service to & from the parks so there's no need to worry about driving.
