Disneyland Paris tips with toddler?

[Partyt]

We go next week with our 3yo and nearly 1yo! Any tips welcome

packing lots of layers as it’s cold, a snowsuit for 1yo as she’ll be in pram mainly! DS (3yo) is fussy with wearing things so ideas here do I get him a big snowsuit with feet?

but any other tips I need? We’ve got 2 park days!

So fly out one evening, go to hotel. 2 full days across the parks, flight home next morning.

Take a double buggy or be prepared to carry the 3 year old - there is a LOT of walking and little legs get tired. It also means you can move around the parks at adult speed rather than toddler speed, and they'll have somewhere to be snug and safe when you're battling the crowds after the fireworks etc.

We took bags and bags of snacks to keep us all going; Christmas is extremely busy and there can be queues at all the food places (they're also extremely expensive!). Good for keeping them occupied during queues for rides of character meets.

You might want to join the Disneyland Paris for Brits facebook groups, loads of great advice on there. Off the top of my head I'd suggest bringing:

• spare pair of shoes for everyone (in case of rain), waterproofs and lots of layers
• hand warmers (those ones you can snap and they heat up)
• powerbank for recharging phone
• snacks (you can't take any fresh dairy or fruit/veg into france but we took mini bags of party rings, mini cheddars, choc chip brioches etc)

Have you downloaded the app? If not I'd do that now and start looking at what's going on every day, character meets you might want to do etc.

Are you staying in a disney hotel or offsite? V jealous!!

Amazing thank you the hand warmers are a gem as he refuses gloves but with the recent cold weather has mentioned how cold he is on way to nursery!

yes we’re renting a buggy from dis ey for him there he refuses usually but I think he won’t there. It’s a lot of activity

Thanks for your tips!! Luckily a Disney hotel. So excited

Just an fyi the Disney buggies aren’t great. Theyre quite unwieldy and v expensive, and don’t have much storage underneath. I’d consider buying a cheap umbrella stroller on fb marketplace and taking it with you (unless it will be too much to manage on the journey there?). Up to you of course!

If you can I would try to pick up a pushchair second hand to take. The ones at Disney are very uncomfortable and cost 25€ a day and also have no raincovers.
I take a toddler sling for our kids too as you cannot take pushchairs into queues so it's much easier to carry them in a sling than just your arms if they are tired.

Agree with this. I’d get a lightweight cheap stroller, would cost about the same. You also have the walks to the hotel.

Also we tend to go early for magic hours into the park then head back to the hotel after lunch for naps then go back later as the busiest time of day is 11-5 and it means we can last until the fireworks which you definitely want to see!
We go at least once a year and have 5 kids who we've been taking since they were little so if you think of anything else you want to ask feel free.
It's worth watching some vlogs on YouTube to get an idea of what's what.I've got some on there but not sure I'm allowed to plug them!
