[Pariswithkids]

As per the title🙂

can you please share your top tips for visiting Disney Paris with a two and seven year old and best things to do in central Paris. We arrive this Sunday.

thanks!

Anyone? 😬

Choose rope drop OR the final firework thing. Don't even think about doing both in the same day. Trust me.

Jardin du Tuileries. Make sure you go on the carousel and catch a puppet show if you can! Loads of nice playgrounds at the park surrounding the Eiffel Tower.
Jardin du Luxembourg to sail toy boats.
Boat trip on the Seine. Hop on-off bus. Nutella Crepes for food!

Rue du Montparnasse for crepes.
Boat ride on the Seine
Pompidou centre.
Eiffel Tower

Thank you!

Paris Metro isn't stroller friendly - some stations have lifts or escalators but most have stairs only. My top tip with kids is to use some Ubers to go to your destination and then walk a bit. We did a lovely walk along the Seine.
Museum D'Orsay was brilliant and I highly recommend but book the tickets in advance.

Book key attractions (eg Eiffel Tower) now. The queues are theme-park length even with advance tickets. They're The Queue length without!

Hop on/hop off boat trip - can use it all day and get off at your preferred attractions or just admire them from the river. We went to the natural history museum which was the last stop on the boat trip. Could easily fill several hours if it’s a rainy day.

If they’re young enough to still like gore, visit the shop from Ratatouille, and La Musee du Chasse.

The Aquarium is fab, was there on Tuesday!

The catacombs

Oh, and the Natural History Museum.

Definitely Jardin du Tuileries and we loved Aquaboulevard water park. DD was only about 3.5 when we went and went on all the watersides with DH. I'm not so much of a fan of the crazy ones, but enjoyed the more gentle ones! We went in 2015 so probably changed a but, but was great. There is also a Decathlon store in the complex, we love Decathlon! We also went to another smaller pool that was also fun.

Download Disney app and check the waiting times for attractions today and tomorrow. There are certain rides that will be long wait all day long, but there are some that will not have long waiting lines for a few hours after opening.

Come at 9.30 and go to Fantasyland the moment you arrive, there'll be plenty of rides you'll be able without waiting in lines with little ones. Then switch to Adventureland, Pirates of the Carribean are usually walk on attraction till 1 pm, same with Phantom Manor.

Use hectic times when waiting lines go ballistic for walking attractions like Alice's Curious Labyrinth, Robinson Tree House, Adventure Isle.

Bring lot of water and snacks.

Don't miss shows - especially Lion King and Mickey and the Magician, your little ones will probably love Disney Juinor Factory. Lines may seem long, but theatres are huge and there is no need to buy tickets.

If you have mastercard, go to City Hall and they'll give you one theatre reservation for free.

Have fun, you'll love it.
