Disneyland Paris - Is it worth it?

[tooloololoo]

Is it worth it?
or will it be tiring /overpriced and over hyped

For sure, and that's exactly what I was trying to say: its not worth anyone's life savings, but good fun if you don't expect it to be the trip of a lifetime.

I'd say Disneyland Paris can be a fantastic experience, especially if you plan it right. For managing time better, I used the enchantedinsider.com Lightning Lane Calculator to check if buying the Multi Pass was worth it for our group. It was really useful to help us avoid long waits on crowded days, saving us hours, which meant more fun and less stress.

Theme parks are not really my thing, but we went to Disneyland Paris when DD was 5 and had a really lovely time. I think she was just the right age for it and it was great to see how exciting she found it.

We stayed in the Disneyland Hotel inside the park so that was rather nice and we did a character breakfast which DD was thrilled by.

I think we all enjoyed the rides we did, however I can't imagine going as an adult without a child.

It’s very much what you make it, and the context. It’s tiring if you don’t pace yourself and try to cram everything into just a couple of days. It’s tiring if you go with very young children and don’t factor in rest time. It’s tiring if you go during peak crowds in the sweltering heat. But if you plan well, it needn’t be tiring at all.
Also, manage your expectations. Don’t expect amazing food or ‘Disney magic’. It’s a Disney theme park, no more, no less. If you don’t put pressure in yourself to have a once-in-a-lifetime, dreams-are-made kind of holiday, then you could have an amazing time.

Try everything once - then decide!

My only question is to check if you've been to Disney Florida?

From what I know, if you go to Disney Paris first, you'll love it. If you been to Disney Florida previously, then go to Disney Paris, it may feel it's lacklustre.

I can recommend Disney Florida though - only Disney park I've visited - and I'm not a theme park/Disney person - but I loved it! Get a 'frozen Coke' - I'll go back just for that! 😂

We loved DLP, stayed in the Disney resorts and Davy Crockett was our favourite. Been to Florida and enjoyed that too but for a mini break with the DC DLP was excellent value for money

Yes it’s fun but also very tiring and probably overpriced. I’ve been and would like to go again.

I actually think all kids should get to go because its insanely magical. And i loved it as a chold so did my DH.

HOWEVER, Disney are fucking with the product. Increased capacity. Price gouging on souvenirs... its kinda gross.

I had friends that went to Florida and another who got back from DLP this year and both were varying degrees of disappointed / sad / angry / frustrated.
the one who went to florida broke down crying when i asked how it was 😓😫 she has 3 kids so family of 5 (one's under 2) of them it cost £20k - they stayed in a Disney hotel.
If you look on insta a lot of families who go dont but all the acess passes and queue jumps and do not have great experiences.

Disney are now pushing this 3 21 nonsense via influencers 3 rides 2 experiences and 1 Disney restaurant per day.
3 rides PER DAY.

Im not saying dont go but do make sure you pick carefully and do a lot of research before hand.

A lot of walking and yes hot (my goal is to get there at halloween instead!!) It is worth it so so so much BUT simultaneously so overpriced it will make you nearly fall on the floor!! It’s very hard to let go of the cost of everything, in particular the fact that if your child decided they wanted a small (teeny tiny) popcorn it costs ten euro in there. There are tips and tricks for getting around all of it (it’s a train station to the supermarket and there’s a garage type shop that you can get a bread roll in for example), but it’s hard to get around eg not getting a meal deal included in your booking so you get one stable meal a day (we chose breakfast), which cost us as 6 people a hundred euro a day when booking

A relative went and couldn’t let go of the price thing and him and his family argued a lot and he calls it his worst holiday ever.

Btw we have also been to Disney world and Paris was ten times better because Disney world is so spread out that when we asked about a ride they said for example oh that’s in California 😅😅😅. Parks very far apart and require very regular bus trips in extreme heat!

Ps big difference between staying in one of their hotels and in Paris, it’s a life changer to be able to walk home after the 11 o clock light show (magnificent!!) finishes at night as opposed to trying to get back to Paris and also it means during the day you can take a break.

Yes, everything is expensive. Even things you assume would be the same are more expensive - for example, McDonalds in the Village area. For the four of us at home in the UK (3 adults, one 14 year old) our meals come to around £34, in Disneyland we spent around £54 each time. I mean it doesn’t matter because obviously you budget for it if you know and accept you’re going to spend loads, but it’s not cheap, at all. We had a meal at Walt’s that cost us £250 a couple of weeks ago.
