Hello
Has anyone ever gone to Disneyland Paris on there own with two children. I have ds (5) ds (almost 1). Trip is booked and hus maybe unable to go, so looking at going on my own (wont be clear until the weekend).

Is it possible to do this, or just a nightmare, I don't know how you logistically get onto the rides if one child is in a buggy?

Any ideas or suggestions

I haven't been to Disneyland alone but I have taken my 1 year old and 3 year old to lots of theme parks alone and it's been fine.

You'll be able to go on lots of rides just the three of you but will have to skip rides your youngest can't go on.

Peter Pan, Snow White, Pinocchio, haunted mansion, dumbo, pirates of the Caribbean, toy story ride and all shows have no height requirement, so you'll have lots you can do. (I'm
Sure there are more than that.) also the time taken with eating and watching the parades, getting character signatures and looking in the shops... You'll be fine.

And you can just leave the buggy outside rides, we left our bugaboo and it was totally fine.

Logistically I take 2 bags, one baby bag clearly full of nappies and stuff I just leave on the pram, and one cross body small bag with purse, phone etc. I carry my one year old and hold my 3 year olds hand. It's always been absolutely fine and also ride attendants will help you.

Curious George are all those rides at Disneyland Paris?
Im just concerned if my 5 yo wants to go on the "big rides" how to do it, plus we're going for 5 days I could go mad Wink...

Yeah, all those rides are at Disneyland Paris, we went for 4 nights with our then 2 year old and I was pregnant so couldn't go on anything big and we found loads to do to fill our time.

I don't think your 5 year old would be allowed to ride anything unattended anyway...

I have been to Disneyland loads of times on my own with 2 children, although mine are now older at 7 and 8yo. There really won't be very much that your 5yo is big enough to go on, that won't also be suitable for your 1yo. Plus there is far, far more to Disneyland than just rides anyway.

Regarding the buggy logistics, you have to leave these outside the ride queue anyway, so no different to having an older child. I'd recommend taking a bike lock though as it's not unheard of for buggies (particularly nice ones) to go missing.

When are you going?
