Disneyland Paris (read all 2 entries…)

Worth visiting!

On a rainy day...  — 9 months ago

...this is possibly the most miserable place in France! Though I visited twice and the second, non-rainy time was much better. If you do plan to visit when there’s a chance of rain, for the love of God bring wellingtons and a waterproof jacket. I thought the fast pass system was kind of useless, since you’re only allowed one fast pass at a time anyway – though at least it stops you having to queue.

My favourite ride was definitely Buzz Lightyear’s – it’s brilliant! Space Mountain and Indiana Jones were good too and Thunder Mountain is quite long so good value for money. The Aerosmith rollercoaster is great, especially the take-off. Pirates of the Caribbean isn’t exactly thrilling but it is entertaining. And I really recommend the tea cups and the carousel – you can’t beat the simple pleasures! The Peter Pan and Pinocchio rides (I had a friend who wouldn’t ride rollercoasters) are also lovely.

If you want a good view of the afternoon parade, be at Main St at least 20 minutes before it starts – though if you’re not bothered about seeing it, that’s a good time to ride the popular rides. There’s a schedule for the Disney characters who pose for pictures and I think they’re mainly there in the morning. And obviously bring your own food if you don’t want to pay €10 for a burger and chips.
