Congratulations!

The best way to save money on a Disneyland Paris trip is to not stay in a Disney hotel but in the Val D'Eurooe area which was built around it. 10 mins on the train or 25 mins walking and the hotels are way cheaper. Americans always think it's a Disney hotel or Paris central, but those aren't the only two options.

soo true just booked a hotel in that area - Disney hotels are like twice the price when comparing the cheapest disney hotel to a very nice 4star hotel just outside of the Disney village

Please at least start the conversation with French. Saying bonjour at the beginning is helpful.

When you do your European amusement park tour, don't miss Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen! It's been around since 1843. Walt visited it and took inspiration from it when they were developing Disneyland.

Some of my friends visited in high school, but I didn’t get to go. Been on my bucket list ever since (um, decades…). I’d love to see it! Even more, I hope PPP goes first, I love a good preview!

Finally a American who appreciates disneyland paris

There is a Magical Shuttle for transportation from the airport to Disneyland Paris hotels. It's €24 per way. But there is a schedule. So, if you need to get to the hotel/airport outside of the schedule, Uber works. It was around €50.

This was the best and most informative video! Thank you

You are so welcome!

We are heading to Disneyland Paris from California in about 2 weeks. Thanks for the info here - very informative. I found the melatonin talk pretty hilarious. Your body naturally creates melatonin. It's actually what triggers each night to help you go to sleep, but taking some can help people fall asleep easier if they have trouble going to sleep regularly. Not a bad usage is when you are traveling over multiple time zones and want to follow the good advice to stay up until a normal local time to go to sleep, taking a melatonin can help regulate your melatonin production.

From the USA you don't need to flight directly to Paris, with high-speed train you can flight to Bruxelles, Amsterdam, Frankfurt or London and then hop on a train to Paris. Also from airports Disneyland Paris have buses and from Charles de Gaules the train is the easiest option it's a 10min ride.

Hi Chris, Gert from Belgium here. The parks you definitly have to visit in Europe are phantasialand and europapark in Germany and efteling in the Netherlands. Mind you, europapark is difficult to get to but is so Worth it. If you need a travelling buddy to the other ones, I'd be happy to come along. Enjoy your time here 🙂

Phantasialand is amazing! 🎢 It is the first amusement park I’ve ever visited, and made me come back another two times ❤❤ Greetings from Romania!

Sadly, you are 100% correct about smoking in the parks - and it's not just at Disney. We visited Legoland Germany and people smoked everywhere in the park (even on playgrounds - kills me too when parents do this right next to their kids). I'm from Germany but have lived in the US for a long time now, and I always say I inhale more second hand smoke when I visit Europe for 2 weeks than I do all year in the US.

Honestly it was worse a few years ago, lately I was surprised that most people were using the smoking areas in the parks. But you're right you see more people smoking outside in Europe, in France this has also to do with the law that prohibit to smoke inside public building so since m9st of them don't have an outside area people smoke in front on the street.

If you come to Belgium .. You must see Plopsaland. This is our Magical place :) and I will be happy to show you around and to let you know the Characters from Plopsa and there stories :)

If you want to save some money on accommodation, you can stay at one of the multiple hotels surrounding the huge Val d'Europe shopping mall near the park. It's one stop on the RER train to the Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy station next to the park. We booked an apartment including a kitchen (to save money on meals) for half the price of the cheapest park hotel at the Residhome Aparthotel which is one minute's walk to the secondary entrance of the Val d'Europe train station.

Same! I didn't like that with the packages, you don't get to modify your ticket type with the number of days like you can at Disney California. I wanted to book the hotel for 4 days, 3 nights but only needed a 3 day pass---not a 4 day. They wouldn't let me modify the ticket so I just decided to stay off site and buy my tickets seperately. Saved soooo much money!!!

I wanted to tell you that this was one of the best "travel blog" videos you all have done. You really made my wife and I really consider Disneyland Paris (and Hong Kong disney) seriously and we have never thought about either before. Thank you for breaking this down and answering these questions. The airfare is literally the killer right now, otherwise we would have already booked!

Phantasialand is great but Europa Park is absolutely fantastic. It should be the #1 park on your to do list, and you need at the very least 2-3 days to see most of it. It's easily Disney quality, and I like it more than most of the Disney parks in the world (and I'm a huge Disney fan). I would LOVE to see what you think of Europa!

Two observations: 1- You never mentioned the cubist trees! And 2- The crowd seems much thinner than Disneyland California. If so, less stress!!

Oh my gosh, Disneyland Paris was the best time. If you ever have the chance to go, it is a must. We spent 6 days there, very affordable and so much fun. We are so happy that we went to Paris. Thank you Provost Park Pass for showing us all the tips and tricks with navigating Disneyland Paris. Getaway Today was the best. We even stopped there on the way back in Salt Lake City to thank them for help us. Yes it is the easiest trip to do. Definitely one of our favorite parks. Thank you Provost.

A trick for the sit-in restaurants that require reservations: not all bookings are actually available through the app! You can walk into a restaurant day-of and they'll usually have plenty of slots still available for reservations. Last August we went with friends and we really wanted to show them Pym Kitchen and we were able to get a table this way.

Just got back from Disney Paris, what a great park. So cohesive! Easy to navigate. Just be mindful, the sense of urgency isn't a thing and stopping in the middle of the walk way is lol. The coffee everywhere was amazing, the smoking wasn't bad at all, what isn't talked about (lol) is the smell. Deodorant isn't a thing, I'll take smoke over the b.o. any day. Def better in cool weather, the 83 degree we had was rough on the nose lol. Premier pass is awesome, we liked it a lot better than genie, especially when you wanted it for 1 or 2 rides and not everything. Wait times were like rainy day at Disney. And we did use Get Away Today to book. Such kind and helpful people. Ps. That turkey/ cheese sandwich...OMG brought 3 home lmao. Thx again for the video.

Going this Monday from LA! This is perfect timing!

How to get to Disneyland Paris? You take the train, the TGV stops nearby to where I live and and it goes to DLP. ;-) But to be honest wile I love Disneyland Paris I live closer to the Efteling and that park is even better. (please visit it if you have not already Provost)

Well, there's another downer you didn't mentioned...when the parks stay open til 10pm, it's very hard to get anything to eat past 6 or 7pm at the counter service. Also most restaurants in the "lands" are closed depending on how crowded it is. THIS will NEVER happen in Tokyo or Anaheim (at least i haven't recognized it in Anaheim)

We actively watched and took notes during thus video, we are starting our planning to go to Paris in summer/fall of 2024 with our two young kids.

The Davy Crockett doesn't have a shuttle service. It's the only one you need to either drive from or use an Uber.

Oh no, Chris! Taking Melatonin during the day is THE WORST! I constantly have to use it to help me sleep, but have to take it at a certain time so it doesn't effect the next day.

What are security checks like in foreign parks vs US parks. Do they check bags and make you walk through metal detectors before you go in or are they more relaxed?

@shesawmyparty

9 ай бұрын

Disney Paris is a potential terrorist target in Europe, so not relaxed at all. On the positive side, security checks are done before you even enter disney village (similar to downtown disney california). Disney village, disneyland and disney studios are all enclosed in the same space. That means no security checks when you are park hopping or when go out to eat/shop in the village. Disney resorts are american/west icons even if they are in foreign countries, so all these parks have to do security checks.

If you visit Europe to see other theme parks I would recommend these 3. Tivoli Gardens, Efteling and Europa Park. You will be blown away by these parks and their history.

Not counting the extra hour for on property. What are the opening and closing times of the parks in Paris ?

Excellent video Chris! You gave me a lot of information to unpack and thanks so much! I'm going to be celebrating my 30th birthday next year and I'm trying to find some once in a lifetime moments and you guys just put one on my bucket list. These videos were so awesome to watch. This theme park sounds great and has a lot of fun things to offer for the ultimate Disney superfan.

Thanks for all the great info, Chris & Amanda. DP is on my travel list for sure! Didn’t go when we visited Paris in 2016 and regretted it. Happy belated birthday to Miles… yay for turning 7! 😎🎈🏰🎆

Chris!!! My family and I had a pleasure meeting you at the park❤ You were right, Phantom Manor was the scariest and Big thunder mountain was intense 😂. Thank you for being so kind and giving us tips in real-time. We hope to return soon! We hope to run into you and your family back home in Disneyland Ca! Safe travels for you and your family

Hey Chris, Amanda and Miles! Love seeing your visits to all the Disney parks around the world... I was just wondering if you've heard anything about Disney building a park here in Australia? There's been a visible growth of Disney in Australia recently, with pop up Disney stores and Disney cruises launching next year and reports in the news here that Disney might be building a park here in or near Melbourne, Victoria Australia... have you heard anything? Thanks!

Chris - When you have gone to Disneyland Paris have you ever spent a few days staying in Paris and travelled around the region? If we ever went I would definitely want to include time to do that. Does Getaway Today handle a full Paris vacation as well?

Paris and surrounding areas are beautiful. A shame they do not experience it. Great food and so much to see other than Disney. I love it there and spent unforgettable time there. Surrounding areas are so wonderful also such as Bordeaux etc… You just have to know where to go.

The one thing I dislike about this park is that the characters take breaks A LOT!! I’m talking every 15 mins they would take a 5 mins break. In the US the characters can last up to an hour and that way they can take longer breaks and allow people not to be stuck in the line

I know as an adult when I took my kids to Disneyland for the first time it made me remember good times and actually made me feel like a kid again. Loved seeing the dragon wish we had that in Disneyland.

This was a great video Chris!. Out of all the Disney parts ( besides Disney LA) I think I would enjoy Paris the Most. Just looks amazing. And the all inclusive pass idea is really cool. I totally would do that. Don’t think I’ll ever be able to get there but it really does look amazing. Thanks for all the great info/advice. Also thank you for sharing. Hope you guys have some great days on your adventures.

If you're staying in one of the Disney hotels, you can book your dining even before the 60 day mark. Something tells me GetawayToday said it was like a year in advance you could book your dining. We booked Chez Remy like 3 or 4 months before our arrival day. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Last time I went to Paris I got Paris Syndrome. I want a redo, and I think by spending most of my time at the park would be a great way to redo

What is the overall size of the parks, and how many days do you need see everything? I am anticipating going next year after a family member relocates to the UK

I’ll admit I did love DLP. I had always wanted to go but every time we were in Paris, I never had the time. Several years ago, I knew my tour schedule in advance and we had a day off there. I had a good friend who was a former Miss Wyoming that was performing close by in Germany and she came over to see our show, visit and then see the parks the following day! Hopefully I can get back again to have a little more time there. I have so many friends now in the Entertainment Department I would love to catch up with!

My question is how handicapped accessible is it for chairs as well as service doggos?

I so LOVE the stained glass windows in the castle! Malificent is my lock screen - the three fairies are my wallpaper. Switching between them is subtle but effectve. And the Dragon is so awesome - they didn't have to do that! The one time I went to Disneyland Paris it was with a friend who knew a little about the park, but not that much... So we went up to the castle, took some photos, as you do, and I went "I think we can get through down this path?" and led her straight into the Dragon's lair! I think we were in there half an hour? just marvelling at it all! (plus it was well below freezing, a hard arctic spell had hit and everything froze hard... Skull Rock covered in icicles, Big Thunder Mountain all frozen, the picturesque fountain in front of the castle looked like Elsa had decorated!) There is a different culture with European Cast members - there's less of the fake customer service smiles, someone standing at a ticket booth may not have that vague pleasant expression on their face that Americans expect, but approach them and they'll be as cheerful and helpful as possible. I'd LOVE to see you see more European theme parks - I wouldn't get too excited about the UK parks though sadly. If you want coasters that were at the time the first 10-loop or something like that, awesome, but otherwise we got cheap takes on Disney and Universal attractions. I mean if you want a laugh, visit Chessington World of Adventures and take their safari - three zebras in a muddy english field! Walt Disney Studios is so small... we were there when they announced that HUGE investment in 2018, it sounded so promising, but so far it seems like it's been whittled away, reskins rather than new attractions, scaled back and features cut... such a shame. Hopefully it'll end up more impressive than it seems at the moment!

Hi Chris! I am from Spain and have been to Disneyland, Paris, many times ( although my favorite is still Disney World where I go once a year ). You have explained this park fabulously better than any local Blogger so well done!

Le Château De La Belle Au Bois Dormant: if you translate with Google, you have to have the accent mark over the a in chateau or it just repeats on the English side.

Wait a minute… did you hit that like button? I’m talking to you… and yes I am talking to you. Chris, you are amazing 🎉

One of the reasons I've not been from the UK is because it's quite expensive. So I'm surprised you think it's very affordable. I could go for a cheap Florida holiday for the same price! Smoking is also quite sad. Especially in a theme park with so many children around.

The croque monsieur twist at the end of your song just killed me - LOL

Let's Go to Disneyland Paris is a Disney's Sing-Along Songs home video released in France in 1993, Japan in 1994, and the UK, Australia, and other English-speaking countries outside of the US in 1996. It is an alternate version of the 1990 video Disneyland Fun filmed at Disneyland Paris, as its title suggests. Although it was not formally released in the United States, it can be viewed (with the French audio) on the Disneyland Fun DVD if the viewer selects the French language track on the set-up menu. Songs are for sharing, and learning the words to your favourite Disney songs has never been so much fun! Just sing along to the on-screen lyrics as you enjoy classic Disney characters in their most memorable musical scenes! Celebrate a musical day at Disneyland Paris - the magical place where dreams come true! See Mickey and Minnie hustle and bustle behind the scenes during a day of fun and thrills at the park! Then get a front row seat on some of the wildest rides, like Star Tours, Big Thunder Mountain and the Pirates of the Caribbean. Join Chip and Dale, Roger Rabbit and a Magic Kingdom full of your favourite Disney characters and sing along to the happiest songs on earth.

We weren't really thinking about going to Disneyland Paris, but NOW we are! 😬😯😁

If you get the chance go to Alton Towers in Staffordshire England. I think you will enjoy it.

I haven't been to DIsneyland since 2016 due to money problems but your channel makes me feel like im there! I love your commentary and facts and jokes, great experience Mr. Provost :)

That castle is everything I wished my Disneyland (Anaheim) castle was when I was a little kid. Soooooo satisfying and gorgeous.

Hey Chris, i'm from the Netherlands and we go to disneyland paris once a year with our car. When we go we sleep at davy crockett, you have your own cabin there and it is very quiet. You can only get there by car there is no shuttle to and from the Parks. There used to be, but that was a long time ago. The drive to the park is not that long it's like 7 min once you exit the ranch where the security is. There are many different trails where you can stay and depending om wich one the drive to the front of davy crockett can vary. It is my favorite place to sleep when i'm there. I always love seeing the way other people look at disneyland paris and please come to the efteling it is so amazing you'll defenitly love it

Did you ever go back to continue the collection?

This was so informative! Thank you SO much Chris! I have a cousin going to college in England starting this Fall so I'm hoping to go visit her and we'll go to Disneyland Paris! So this was truly very helpful! Thank you so much!

Hi, I noticed this year in Disneyland Paris that compared to the years before that there ware less staff members wearing a lanyard with pins do you know anything about the reason for this?

I dont know if you know but if you fly to charles de gaulle theres a disney bus a couple of times a day that collects from the airport and brings you to all the disney hotels

The apocalyptic sky is awesome! And defines very well the DLP weather! Visited DLP so many times, when I was able to visit Anaheim in 2017 it was a bit deceiving for me, because a lot of rusty things and not very clean park. I know it is the REAL one but it deserves better conservation for my taste, Matterhorn was painful and the homeless people at the entrance was to real and sad. (hollywood boulevard scared me with some people fighting on the street and the McDonalds closed for a vermint infestation..) Maybe I was not very lucky but at least I enjoyed a lot in Universal Hollywood.

This was a very informative video- very useful if I ever decide to visit Disneyland Paris….after visiting (most) of the Disney parks, will you guys let us know which one was your favorite? thank you so much for this!

I want to stress, ques (lines) tend to move fast for attractions. Sales of premier access are limited.

How many days would you recommend for a trip to Disneyland Paris?

@jondbm

9 ай бұрын

Depends on your party and what you want to do. Family with all ages wants to do everything? 5 days. Solo or couple commando it all? 3 days. Just take in the big attractions and get a taste of both parks? 2 days. Good rule of thumb is spend as much time as you would need at Disneyland if that was new to you.

On our last trip to France we ended up in a very small village where no one spoke English and had the most amazing sandwich ever. It was of course a croque monsieur...can't wait to have one on our trip to Disneyland Paris 😋

My husband and I are seniors and we both use scooters while at Disneyland. We would love to experience Disneyland Paris. Does DL Paris have scooters to rent and are the attractions and restaurants handicap accessible? Thank you for any information you can provide!

Another awesome video by an awesome guy. Thanks Chris!

The stained glass windows at Sleeping Beauty's castle are stunning 🌹

DLP hotels are great. I’ve not stayed at Sequoia Lodge but I’ve stayed at Santa Fe & Cheyenne a few times then most recently (2018) at the Newport Bay. We only ever get the shuttle when we arrive/leave with luggage as it’s much nicer and normally just as quick to walk Loving your series with you all ❤

What do you do then when someone has asthma with the smokers how bad is the smoking

very helpful video, I do have two questions though. first can you spend a entire day in disney studios or is it more of a half day park? second, what are the parks like for someone who is disabled? (wheelchair)

The only two cons that we ran into with DL Paris were the smoking (yes it is Europe and you can only smoke in designated areas, but as an ex-smoker I'm hyper sensative) and that the cleanliness does not match up to the other Disney parks (this was in 2014 and to be fair it was on par with most non-Disney parks). We did a daytrip from Paris and the train was a breeze.

Hi I hope you guys are doing well and that everything is going well for you guys and that you're having a good weekend what's left of it and that you guys have a good evening and a good night 🌉😴. I also hope you guys are having a good time on your trip and that everything is going well for you guys on your trip and that you're all doing well on your trip.

I haven't checked if someone told this already, but La Belle au Bois Dormant literally means, the Beauty in the sleeping forest.

Does the magic band work in the “non-USA” parks?

I had the opportunity to visit way back when it was still Euro Disney. So much has changed and would love to visit now. But I’m in California and Anaheim will always be #1 for me. Thank you for letting me enjoy your trip.

Melatonin for sleep. Hydralite for pick up. My TA has arranged a car for us at most of our stops. It's more expensive, but you are right it's super convenient.

Shanghai Disneyland is actually different from the other 5 castle parks in that their Tomorrowland is on the left side. Toy Story Land is also on the left side between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland. Adventure Isle (their Adventureland equivalent) is on the right side where Tomorrowland/Discoveryland is on the other parks. Also on the right side is a land unique to Shanghai called Treasure Cove which is themed to Pirates of the Caribbean where their version of the ride is. Shanghai doesn't have Frontierland or an equivalent like Westernland in Tokyo or Grizzly Gulch in Hong Kong. Other unique lands are Mickey Avenue and the Gardens of Imagination. Mickey Avenue is Shanghai's version of Main Street, U.S.A., but it's more of a mix between the traditional Main Street (or World Bazaar, as it's called in Tokyo) and Mickey's Toontown. Where the hub area is in other parks is its own land in Shanghai called Gardens of Imagination, which is a collection of gardens and places to relax along with a couple of attractions like Dumbo and the Fantasia Carousel (so yeah, another difference there is that Dumbo and the carousel are in front of the castle instead of in Fantasyland) and the Garden of Twelve Friends which is a walkthrough attraction featuring mosaics of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac as represented by Disney and Pixar characters. One last unique land coming in the future is City of Zootopia.

I have the opportunity to go in December but I would be going solo, do you think I would enjoy it as much by myself?

Do you know if Disneyland Hotel by the park opens soon?

Smoking is ok drinking is now allowed at disneyland so disappointed but that's the way it goes now

The Tomorrowland thing doesn’t apply to Shanghai China.

how to get from the airport to the park?

You work so hard showing us fun.

I can't do cheese, do they get offended if you order it without cheese?

Literally going this week. Thank you for this!!!

Hi Chris, you talk about travel to Disneyland Paris but only with Americans in mind. It’s obviously much easier to travel there for those who live in Europe, the UK and obviously we wouldn’t use Getaway Today!

Thank you for all the information! I want to go back to DLP so badly now!!!

Your body actually also naturally produces melatonin to help you sleep! Taking some when you can’t sleep is just extra for your body 😊

Le Château De La Belle Au Bois Dormant: according to Google Translate: Sleeping Beauty Castle ,(just letting you know)

Yes! You have to discover PHANTASIALAND and EFTELING (they are not far from each other and probably the best parks in Europe with DLP)

I’ve been trying to find out I if Disneyland Paris has a disability pass, hopefully similar to Disneyland and Disney World. They don’t make it easy to find out. This makes me worry about going.

This was very informative - such good information! Thanks so much!

We were so disappointed with Remy's. Best food we had was from the carts, Starks and Pimms.

Chris, cannot wait for this video, maybe do one on how to get to Paris, Eiffel tower from Disneyland. Tips on how, the train station. That was a fun experience which did take us out of our comfort zone. 😊

How’s the weather in October? I want to spend my 50th there❤ Does anyone know? TIA how’s the Disneyland hotel at the Paris resort. Didn’t mention that.

Husband and I are visiting THIS WEEKEND for our honeymoon! Thank you for this video!

Seems like DCA looks smaller than Disney Studios.

Was waiting for this video as well…looking at possibly going next summer🙂

I have melatonin and she’s right my mom Suzanne and Amanda said melatonin does help you fall asleep 😴 very quickly before you know it. I have it chewable too.

First! Was waiting for this video!!!

Thanks for all the great tips! This video goes in my “saved” list to reference for myself and others when going to Paris. It’s a keeper!

Best informative video for going overseas to a Disney park!! Felt that I could book a trip overseas and I’ve never have. Thanks again Chris!
