A few weeks ago, I went to Disneyland Paris for a day trip. Yes, you heard me, a day trip! We were picked up at our allocated time at the destination closest to us and drove through the night getting on a 90 minute ferry ride to Calais and then carrying on driving through the night onto Paris. Due to late arrival of pick up and traffic we didn’t get breakfast in the outskirts of Paris, however, if you are on time you will get breakfast at 8:30am and then carry on traveling up to Disneyland to arrive at 10am!
Having the entire day till 11pm to explore both the park and Walt Disney Studios, with five fast track tickets you will have plenty of time to get everything in. Before you go back to the coach you will get to watch the light show on the castle where depending on the time of you a wonderful array of Characters such as Anna and Olaf from Frozen will be projected onto the castle, with light beams and water fountains, it is a day in paradise for young children, without the expense for the parents! The fast track tickets are great, however they are different to what we know, you book the time slot in advance, so when you get there start using them straight away as fast track closes around 7pm so you won’t be able to book slots after that.
You and your children, or if you are a couple, can watch the parades and get cuddles with your favorite Disney characters. With loads of different lands, it is perfect for all ages to enjoy. You will become the child that is in your heart from the moment you step into this magical place.
The way I managed to keep this fairly cheap is through Wowcher, and they are doing the deal again at the moment and it comes up reguarly. Through a company called Coach Innovations, you will book this up for £99 per person (usually £149 per person). Its a fantastic deal considering Disneyland tickets are 88 euros on the gate! You will get a resort hopper ticket with this meaning you have access to the studios as well which contains lots of new rides as well as Tower of Terror, Crash’s Coaster and Toy Story Land!
If you are going to travel with kids, I warn you in advance the merchandise here is expensive and especially if you have several children it can be more expensive than its worth. I have a tip about how to do it a cheaper way while your children still experience all the souvenirs. The morning before you go, you can wake them up with a pile of presents that Mickey has left for them instead and you can get it cheaper outside the park. Such us on Wowcher again, there is lots of Disney products. Such as this wonderful onesie which they could travel and sleep in on the coach nice and warm!
Or these various Frozen accessories:
I hope this gives you a good idea to have a special day with your children or friends. It is a great day and worth the money completely, bring blankets and pillows for the coach journey to snuggle up and sleep well and you can leave these on the coach. If you do go, let me know how you enjoyed it and what you thought?
Thank you for wandering with me!
