Halloween in Paris

A Magical Day at Disneyland Paris – 4.8/5 ⭐ I took my daughter and my two goddaughters on a one-day visit to Disneyland Park. Since we only had one day available, we decided to focus solely on the main park rather than trying to do both parks. What an incredible experience! The park truly has something for all ages. My daughter is six years old, while my goddaughters are 10 and 12, and each had very different interests. We quickly realized we needed a strategy to balance everyone's wishes. The first 30 minutes were a little overwhelming because of the sheer size of the park. We regrouped, opened the Disneyland app, and mapped out our route for the day. Our strategy was to start with rides that had shorter queues, many of which were in Fantasyland and perfect for my six-year-old. These rides were exciting, fun, and a great way to begin the day. After a few rides, my goddaughters decided to brave the 60-minute queue for Big Thunder Mountain, one of the park's most popular attractions. We agreed on a meeting point while they queued, and my daughter and I continued exploring Fantasyland. Lunch was surprisingly affordable for a theme park. We spent around €15 per person on burgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and fries, which everyone enjoyed. In the afternoon, we moved over to Discoveryland. My daughter was unfortunately below the height requirement for the Star Wars-themed ride, but there were still plenty of alternatives. She loved the attractions where she could fly high in the air and enjoyed driving around in the cars. Her favourite rides of the day were: "It's a Small World, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, (which we rode twice!) Mad Hatter's Tea Cups amd Autopia. The girls loved Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain- star wars. We also caught the magic show twice! Even tgough we fiaked to gat upclose with any of the characters, the show/ caravan was amazing. My goddaughters absolutely loved Big Thunder Mountain and the more adventurous attractions. If you can afford it and have the time, I would strongly recommend planning for two days at Disneyland Paris. It allows you to enjoy the attractions at a more relaxed pace and makes the queue times much easier to manage. Most importantly, use the Disneyland app throughout the day to plan your route, monitor waiting times, and decide which queues are worth joining. Overall, I would rate Disneyland Paris 4.8 out of 5. The only reason I wouldn't give it a perfect score is the long waiting times for some of the most popular attractions. Apart from that, it was a truly magical experience and a wonderful day of memories with my daughter and goddaughters.
