Disneyland Paris
Despite being minute compared to it's Floridian counterpart, Disneyland is a good way to spend a day if you want away from sightseeing and the city centre. Disneyland Paris is in Marne La Vallee, about 50 minutes on the RER Line A to Marne La Vallee-Chessy.A few larger metro stations have links to the RER line A and we travelled from Auber. If you decide to travel by Metro and RER, and are staying in the city centre,get a one day 5 zone Mobilis pass from the ticket booth on the day you travel. This costs around £13.85.You may need to have a pass with more or less zones included depending on where you travel from, so ask at the information desk before buying if you are unsure.You can book Disneyeland Tickets online via the Dinseyland website and Viator offer deals with transport from the city centre.I have a link to Viator under the Helpful Webpages section of my blog. Pre-booking saves time and is usually cheaper.Bring ID if you pre-book your tickets.
Disneyland Paris has 2 parks- Walt Disney Studios Park and Disneyland Park.WDS Park is a lot smaller with less rides,however, it's worth going if you can upgrade to a 2 park ticket for £10-15 more. Be prepared to queue for major rides/attractions particularly in the busier seasons, use your fast pass (free) to avoid standing in long lines.
Best of WDS Park:
Cinemagique-A 4d show charting cinemas progression through the years.It funny, clever and shows are regular.This was my favourite WDS Park attraction.
Twilight Zone Tower Of Terror- This is actually terrifying.It's set up like an abandoned hotel and you ride the elevator which basically appears either very broken or very haunted. I was ill on this :P
Aerosmith Rock n Roller Coaster-A rollercoaster which goes from 0-100km/hr in less than 3 seconds.Really fast,really scary and a must do if visiting WDS Park.Look out for band/gig memorbilia on the way to the ride.
Disneyland Park is a lot bigger and will need a lot more time dedicated to getting around everything.We did this in the afternoon after WDS Park as it was open later but check times before you go.
Best of Disneyland Park:
Big Thunder Mountain-A roller coaster which is a lot scarier than it looks, we went on it thinking it was a little old fashioned rickety coaster.And we couldnt have been more wrong.
Space Mountain Mission 2- Another roller coaster, which is the scariest one I went on n Disneyland.A lot of stopping,starting,black holes and very quick turns.
Phantom Manor-A haunted mansion ride which is really well done.It isnt scary but some of the effects (like the dancing ghosts in the ballroom) make it a must-do ride.

In between parks, visit Disney Village and have lunch in Planet Hollywood. Disney Village also has several other restraunts, shops, a cinema and Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.
