Last minute trip to Disneyland Paris!
I LOVE the mouse and it had been a good few years since I’d been to Paris so in March when Charlie had a couple of days off school due to teacher training days I decided that it was time for a quick last-minute one-night trip to Disneyland Paris!
One quick impulsive hotel and ticket purchase later we drove down to Luton, stayed in a hotel for the night and bright and early the next morning we found ourselves at Charles de Gaulle and then on-board the Magical Shuttle to DLP!
We were staying at Disney Newport Bay Club which is just 10mins walk from the main gates so check-in done, bags dropped off, tickets collected were marched towards the parks!
There are two parks in Paris (Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park) which are located right next to each other and its really easy to park hop back and forth. We had such a blast!.. I think our favourite always has to be Tower of Terror which is a hilarious drop-ride set in a creepy old hotel but we also loved the new ‘Avengers Assemble: Flight Force’ coaster, Crush's Coaster, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril and Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain as well as old classics like Pirates of the Caribbean, Dumbo and Autopia.
In the evening after a yummy burger from Five Guys in Disney Village by the main gates we wrapped up warm to watch the amazing night time show ‘Avengers: Power the Night’ in Walt Disney Studios Park which featured over 500 drones which was SPECTACULAR! Charlie had a hot chocolate whilst we watched and I was devasted to discover that you could buy yummy hot cups of mulled wine which put a big warm smile on my face!
So if you fancy a last-minute impulsive trip to Disneyland you should do it! The flight is super-short, its easy to get to the parks from the airport, you can fit a lot in a small amount of time and most of all.. it’s LOADS of fun! Next stop Orlando please!
