Hello, all.  We are huge Disney fans.  We have been to Disney World a couple times with the kids, and this will be our first trip to Disney Paris.  We have a 3 and 7 year old.  What are some absolute must sees?  What should we hit first?  Are there character meals?  We have 3.5 days at the parks, so if anyone wants to give me an itinerary I'd love you.  Ha.

First stop fantasyland.

Get there at opening and get tickets for princess pavilion and fastpasses to peter pan.

Then head onto its a small world and mad hatters tea cups. Make sure you go into the shop next to the Beanstalk and show the kids goofy in his armour.

Then onto Snow White and Pinocchio and Meet Mickey. Once you've done that then the short walk to Adventureland. Pirates of the Carribean is a must and usually isnt a big queue. Then let the wee ones play on the pirate ship on adventureisland but dont forget photos of the kids with the canons.

Eat lunch at the Hakuna Mata Cafe, dont forget the chips :)

If time allows between the fastpass and princess pavilion... Take the kids up to Swiss Family Robinson tree (assuming they dont mind heights).

Character Meals were offered at Cafe Mickey (breakfast, lunch, dinner), Auberge de Cendrillon (lunch & dinner with Princess) and Inventions (Dinner Buffet and Sunday Brunch).
Your children will love Cars Race Rally and the little one Slinky dog as well - both are in the Studios Park.

Are there tickets for Princess  Pavilion ? We are going in June and had read you just have to queue for hours

Sometimes there are tickets for the pricess pavillon, sometimes not.
Seems to be a matter of luck.
If the ticket-system is running, you have to queue for the tickets during EMH, to get one oft the few one. That's my experience of last summer.

When we were there in the summer, the tickets were first come first serve in the morning in an area to the left of the princess pavilion. Ideally if you can get there early, you will be fine.

Day two... Studios

First thing, get fast pass for ratatouille and then head across to Toy Story Land. Slinky Dog is a must for wee ones and the queues are usually pretty light. Once you are done there is a wee RC Racer photo opportunity opposite the exit.

Then head out towards the production courtyard and get on the studio tram tour.

After that, check the timings of playhouse disney, stitch live, animagique and cinemagique. All of these are essential for the kids and should be doable in a day.

Finally if you have time before the park shuts, Flying Carpets of Agrabah and Cars Quatre Roues Rallye are also great rides for the kids.

*Assuming the wee ones are way too small for RC Racer and maybe dont fancy the Toy Soldiers parachute drop.
