[surfwidow]

So looking to book for DLP for me DH + 2 older teens, been to WDW 3 times but fancy trying the continental version once we’re allowed to travel again of course!
So peeps... what are your top 5 tips/rides/shows etc? To get the most out of a midweek break please

First time for Disneyland Paris for us too. Been to wdw many times and will return there at some point .

hyperspace mountain
crush's coaster
thunder mountain
magician mickey
tower of terror

all of those were really good rides, we also really enjoyed the projection show and fireworks in the evening, we went for 4 days and would most definitely go again, its not Disney however, its a Disney fix.
get up early and head for crush's coaster that's the main attraction that everyone wants, we found that eating was quite expensive so bought our own snacks / pastries from the breakfast restaurant. if your in a Disney hotel I would walk back after fireworks than wait for a bus it is very packed and infact walking is quicker and lastly enjoy! x

It’s great being able to go between the 2 parks. We love tower and terror and ratatouille. Shame the rock and roller coaster isn’t there any more. Some good shows too. We’ve been at Christmas and for the marvel season.

yes ratatouille is another great, I would LOVE to go at xmas !

Our prefered way of getting to DLP is to drive and use the Eurotunnel.

When driving in France use the Emovis Tag for stressfree toll use.

Use a decent SatNav that has up to date maps, traffic info, and which can also use custom POIs (Points of Interest) for the hotel of your choice as sometimes the built-in POIs are not that accurate. I use POIs from PocketGPSWorld as they're free and very accurate, you just need to register (free) with PGPSW to download or see the POIs on the map. E.g. if you're wanting to drive to the Disneyland Hotel the POI will take you right to the main guest entrance.

It might be worth at least one of the party having an Annual Pass for discounts on shopping and food.

DLP is always busy, but check to see when France has public holidays and school holidays in order for you to miss them.

My top tip would be to embrace DLP and enjoy it for its differences. Try not to compare it to WDW and you will enjoy it all the more.
Other tips:
Head to the studios before the gates open then head straight to Crush’s Coaster - the only way to ride it without an outrageously long queue.
Ride Big Thunder at night
Watch Mickey and The Magician
Learn how to use the FP system (paper tickets) not online

Have a great time. We have really enjoyed our trips to DLP and look forward to a return when we can. 😄
