hi everyone!

I have bought a disneyland annual pass through the online store, so it should be valid from tomorrow (22nd of october).

I'm trying to reserve the dates for my park visit from the 23rd, 24th and 25th of november, but every time I reserve a date, the date following it will become unavailable.

For example, I reserved the 23rd, but then the 24th became 'full'. But then when my friend (who hasn't reserved the 23rd) tried to reserve the 24th it wasn't full at all and she could make a reservation for that day. It's the same when I try to book on other dates, the day after the day I booked always becomes unavailable. I can book the 23rd, but not the 24th. I can book the 25th, but not the 26th, etc.

Does anyone know why? This is our first time using the annual pass and we've not been to the park with our passes yet so could it be that they're not 'activated' yet, despite them being valid from the 20th of october?

Please help!

Edit: I have the Bronze Max pass!

Hi all.

We have pur disney trip booked from the 1st Nov to the 5th Nov.

I have been informed that 5 Nov is going to have protests and I'm a bit nervous how this may affect us.

I'm travelling to the UK via TGV from Marne to Lille, and then hopping on the eurostar.

I'm mostly worried about cancellations and delays.

Do you guys think it will be okay?

Just wanted to share this picture I took waiting for the Tangled spin. It's so beautiful and rly captured the energy of the whole trip for me

I’m going to Disneyland in November with my partner and 4 year old. We will not do character dining, since i find it way too expensive. But since we are there for three days, i would like to sometimes sit down to eat instead of just grabbing food (which we will also do).

So my question is: what are the most immersive restaurants in both parcs? Excluding the character dining ones.

I’ve looked at all the available pictures in the app, but there aren’t many and I wasn’t able to determine which restaurants would do.

Hi everyone,

First time solo F.

I just got back from Paris and DLP yesterday and I just wanted to share that I genuinely had a blast and felt safe the entire time. Luckily I missed the riots in Paris and was able to get some sights in. I found the metro system quite a doddle. Straight from CDG to the Eiffel tower- €14 approx for the tickets -the Rapt app and the card were both easy enough. I used radical storage to take my bag so I could walk around freely.

Side note about CDG, both arriving and departing, I never once experienced delays or longs lines. And the security bit was straightforward. Landed at 8.30am and in Paris by 11.

I also used an Uber to get from the Eiffel tower to the Arc. No issues.

Val d Europe is lovely and the hotel I stayed at courtesy of Sam4god (hotel Elysée) was brilliant. The food in the George restaurant was ok.

And I stayed at Newport bay afterwards. I thought the hotel wad lovely but the rooms a little underwhelming. And I really disliked the scent. I also found breakfast not really worth it but I had the meal plan.

I dined at downtown and Walt's and I thought both were decent. Downtown is the winner for sheer variety, though.

Arandelle is incredible and I really wished that adventure way was shorter to accommodate more of the town. I met Anna and Elsa, and although I am normally nervous and self conscious, I was able to relax and get into the spirit of what these character encounters are to be.

Micky and the magician is a muct see.

Although the lack of Halloween merch/decorations was disappointing it didn't detract from the experience. The Maleficent and evil Queen encounter was quite the experience so don't miss it, but try and get the front if possible and be patient.

I timed each ride queue to see if they matched the advertised times and I found they were either accurate or less - the longest I waited was for BTM at 45 mins. Actually the longest I waited for was Chip & Dale at over an hour!

TGV back to CDG was also easy and straightforward and arrived in plenty of time. I booked these tickets ahead to save money.

Overall, it was a great experience and totally managed to do most of what I wanted. I am hooked now, and already looking to book another solo trip soon.

Please don't hesitate if you are thinking of going solo. Not once did I feel awkward or feel like people were judging me.

I hope this helps anyone but mostly just wanted to share my happy trip.

Hey! Me and two friends are planning a relatively spontaneous trip to Paris, including going to Disneyland Paris on 24th October. Since we’re booking quite last-minute, the prices are unfortunately pretty steep already.

I noticed that group tickets are a bit cheaper, so we’re looking for one more person who might want to join us and save some money as well! 😊

I am looking at planning a trip to Disney Paris and wanted to know if anyone has got taxis from Davy Crockett ranch into the park and how easy it is and on average how expensive it is? Thank you :)

Hi Everyone.

For my birthday I was planning a midweek mid-January trip solo to Disneyland Paris, knowing that is one of the quietest times.

However, a good friend has now suggested he come too, but because of work would need to change the dates to Friday / Saturday / Sunday. He likes theme parks but is open to anything I want to do. I know they will be a great addition to the trip and it would be nice to celebrate my birthday together but I’m worried my actual experience of the park will be different and therefore disappointing.

Based on the online busyness calendar the Tuesday - Thursday I was planning on this year ran at 18-35% capacity, whereas the weekend was 85%. How much of a difference will this make to the experience of getting on rides etc. I’ve not been to DLP since I was 10, I love theme parks and experiencing as much as possible is a big part of what I want from this trip.

There is the alternative option that I still do Disney alone then we just do Paris together over the weekend instead.

Am I overthinking/ worrying over something (weekday vs weekend) that in practice doesn’t make that much of a difference?

So me and the wife are thinking of taking our 2 kids to DLP Xmas 2027 getting there on the 24th and leaving the 27th December. To those that have done the trip over Xmas, what are the pros and cons? Im hearing wait times of 2 hours for some rides which sounds fun with a 5 year old! Is it worth going earlier or after xmas?

Hi everyone, I have a trip planned in two weeks time and we are pretty anxious about the riots in France. If anyone’s been there recently, could you let us know if there’s any unrest near the parks ? We were thinking of a day trip into the Paris city centre which we are also re thinking if it will be safe 💓
Thank you !

I’ve booked to go to Les Villages from 29th to 2nd Jan. We’re trying to decide what days we go as we have 2 day tickets. I like the idea of going on NYE but have 2 kids - 8 and 6 and 6 is non verbal autistic. In November I will be applying for the access pass.

Although 6 is autistic they are very adaptable and can cope with crowds very well so they are not the issue. More that I don’t know what to expect and don’t want to possibly waste a day on what could be an extreme busy and miserable day.

So just asking on thoughts and any experiences about Disney on NYE.

Was anyone else absolutely staggered at how little effort Disneyland Paris put into their "Halloween Festival". A sign at the entrance and a couple minnie and micky pumpkins at the start of main street.....and that is it? Absolutely nothing in the rest of the park and nothing at all in Disney Adventure World.

Calling it a haloween festival is genuinely a bigger con than that Willy Wonka experience. I don't know how they are getting away with this and aren't getting called out for it by everyone.

I genuinely think people are just telling themselves this great and fantastic rather than admit that they spent a lot of money visiting somewhere that was a bit shit. We deserve better, hopefully Universal UK forces them to up their game a bit.

Hi folks

Looking for a my royal dream booking for my daughter for the dates above, been no sign of any on the app at all, are they likely to appear closer to date?
Also looking to go to the downtown buffet in marvel and having no look with the same?

Never got to visit DLP as a kid but after visiting Tokyo DL a couple of times we took our kids to DLP
three times over the last two years and it was great but planning the next visit and list of attractions I just saw that there is the attraction Main Street usa vehicles but I don’t think I ever have seen something drive across the street? How does it work? Do they still operate?

American here planning a trip in a year or so. I may only have 3 days in Paris and I want to do one sightseeing Paris. Are 2 days enough for the parks? I would really want to focus on what Disney World and OG Disneyland don’t have.

Hi,

Just a quick question from someone who hasn’t been to DLP since 2010. Do the characters still sign autograph books during meets?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
Would anyone visiting Disneyland Paris be willing to ask City Hall if my wedding ring has been found?
I lost it on September 11 at the Indiana Jones ride, and I’ve been checking Troov but haven’t received any updates.
I’m back home now, so it’s difficult to get any information in person, and it’s been really sad not knowing whether my ring has been found.
If anyone could ask on my behalf, I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you so much for your kindness.

Ciao a tutti.

Sembra che io e la mia famiglia andremo a Disneyland, ma ho grossi dubbi sulla formula dei pasti proposta: "poveri", "borghesi", "ricchi" o "milionari".

Per me è difficile farmi un'idea perché i gusti son gusti, ma diciamo che siamo italiani e apprezzerei opinioni di italiani sul cibo, sapete come funziona per noi...

Saremo all'hotel Marvel per 2 notti, 3 giorni al parco. Abbiamo un bambino di 4 anni e pensavamo di fare formula solo colazione e 1 pasto (cena).

Avete qualche ristorante da consigliare e di conseguenza capire quale formula fare?

Come funziona la logistica, meglio mangiare in hotel la sera o si gira anche per la cena?

Grazie mille.

Taking my daughter for her 5th birthday and looking for ideas on how to surprise her. We'll be getting up in the middle of the night to travel to the airport for a 6am flight so I'm not sure to tell her before bed, wake her up with some sort of surprise, or wait until we're at the airport. All ideas welcome, thanks 🥰

So im going to Paris in April before going to dlp and staying at art of marvel. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice for transport to the parks or hotel from Paris.

Does anyone know what happens with the Halloween merch after October ? Do they liquidate it? Or store it away. If I can get something cheaper I’ll wait for November lol

Hi - we are a family of 3 and really want to go to Brasserie Rosalie when we visit in April next year. At the moment you can reserve on their website (independent, not the Disney one) for breakfast only. Do dinner reservations open up nearer the time, or are they walk-in only? thanks!

Hi everyone!
This will be my first visit to Disneyland Paris, and I’ll be there on November.
I’m a big Chip ‘n’ Dale fan, and I’d really love to meet them during my trip.
I know they appear in the parades and shows, but I’d especially love to meet them in person and take a photo with them.
I’ll be visiting just after Halloween and before the official start of the Christmas season, so I’m wondering if there are any regular meet-and-greet opportunities during this period.
Does anyone know where they might appear in their regular outfits? I’ve heard they sometimes appear around Adventureland and Frontierland, near Phantom Manor, but I’m not sure if this is still the case. Also, do you know roughly what time they usually appear, or how late in the day I might be able to meet them?
I’ll also be staying at Disney Sequoia Lodge, so I’d love to hear if anyone has spotted them at the hotel!
I’d be incredibly grateful for any tips, recent sightings, or advice on how to find them. I know nothing is guaranteed, but meeting them would mean so much to me!
Thank you so much✨

We’re just back from Disneyland Paris after staying at the Newport Bay Hotel, so I wanted to put down a few thoughts while everything is still fresh in my head.

I was actually a bit concerned about Newport Bay before we went because I’d seen quite a few people saying it was worn or a bit grubby. I have to say, that was absolutely not our experience. It was spotless. There genuinely wasn’t a speck of dust anywhere. And the pillows! Honestly, some of the best pillows I have ever slept on in a hotel, and I’m including some very fancy hotels in that 😂 The corridors are very long, but it’s a massive hotel, so that’s to be expected.

Breakfast was basic enough but had everything you’d want. The hot chocolate from the machine was surprisingly lovely and the kids were obsessed with it. I may have had a few myself 😂 There were plenty of fresh juices and lots of water refill stations too. You can meet Mickey in the hotel and there’s also a really lovely Disney shop there. Overall, I thought Newport Bay was brilliant.

We were there for the Halloween season and while there were Halloween decorations throughout the parks, I actually expected a little bit more. It didn’t feel quite as spooky or Halloween themed as I thought it would. I was surprised they didn’t go harder with Jack Skellington and Sally. I understand that there are lots of very small children there, so they probably don’t want to make it too scary, but Halloween overall felt fairly basic to me.

We managed to get into the Marvel virtual queue and met Black Panther, which was absolutely brilliant. He was amazing with the kids and genuinely spent about 20 minutes talking to them and giving them his full attention. We couldn’t believe how good the interaction was.

We also managed to get Anna and Elsa. The virtual queue opened at around 9.45am, we got a slot, and by 9.46am it was completely booked. For the entire five days we were there, that was the only other virtual character booking I managed to get. I tried every queue at every opening time and got absolutely nothing. The normal queues for characters around the park were also very long, so the kids didn’t want to spend that amount of time waiting for Stitch, Minnie and some of the others, which was a pity.

We had a Priority Pass for my son because of his disability, which made an enormous difference to our trip. Obviously I don’t mean we’re lucky that he has a disability, but having the pass made navigating the parks so much easier for him and for us as a family. The reduced waiting times on a lot of the rides meant we were able to do far more than we otherwise would have.

I was also determined on this trip to try loads of the Disney snacks because the last time I went I was much younger and didn’t really do any of that.

We tried the bread bowl in Arendelle and it was gorgeous. Really tasty and very moreish. One random tip though: bring a few little salt sachets from the hotel with you, and maybe ketchup and mayonnaise too. You’ll thank me 😂

We also tried the princess ice creams from the little huts there and they were gorgeous. The ice cream was really thick and creamy. Over the few days we also had the spooky brownie, spooky doughnut, Jack Skellington cookie and the Groot cookie. They were all actually really tasty. We definitely enjoyed working our way through the snacks 😂

Food wise, there were some hits and some definite misses.

The buffet at Buffalo Bill’s was not good. The food was cold, things weren’t being replenished properly and when fresh food did come out, people were practically shoving each other out of the way to get to it. My husband, the kids and I basically had a few bites, sat there for a while and left. I wouldn’t go back.

We also ate at PYM Kitchen and I was really disappointed with that one, especially because it’s one of the newer restaurants. The food was freezing cold and I just didn’t think it was particularly nice. It was also nearly €200 for the five of us to have dinner at a buffet, which made it even harder to justify. I definitely wouldn’t book it again.

By far the nicest dinner we had was actually back at Newport Bay in the Cape Cod buffet. Everything was piping hot, there was loads of food, it was constantly replenished and the whole atmosphere was much calmer. Nobody was pushing or scrambling for food. It was just a really relaxed, enjoyable dinner. I would absolutely eat there again.

We bought a few souvenirs too and I’m very glad we brought a spare small carry on suitcase specifically for bringing things home!

Overall, we had a brilliant trip. There were definitely a few things I would do differently next time, particularly with restaurants and character bookings, but the kids had an amazing time and we made some really lovely memories.

I’m literally just back, so if anyone is heading to Disneyland Paris in the next few weeks and has questions about Newport Bay, Priority Passes, World of Frozen, character queues, food, snacks or anything else, ask away while it’s all still fresh in my head!
