Hi there

I am taking my girlfriend on holiday to Paris in June and we are spending 2 days in Disneyland Paris at the Cheyenne.  We have tickets for 21 + 22 June and have the following extras booked : "Disney Express" Service, Breakfast for 2 adults, PhotoPass+

We have never been to any Disneyland resort so we have no idea what to expect or how things work.

Do you have any advice, tips, suggestions, etc for us to make sure we get the absolute most out of our Disneyland Paris experience? We do not mind running around to be able to experience as much as possible.  We want to be the first to arrive and the last to leave! haha

Also, as we do not know how the trains work, how would you suggest we get there from the Eiffel Tower on the morning of the 21st (our first Disney day)?

Thank you all very much for your help!

Hello and welcome.  ;D

the following hyperlink should bring you directly to a planned potential route from the Eiffel tower to Marne-La-Vallée (DLPs station), you can change things on the screen to depart or arrive at different times, but it's a fairly simple route really, generally only one change of trains.

As for things you really shouldn't miss: the Ratatouille ride is unique, no other park has one, so I'd certainly try and grab that one. I'm not sure if the waits there are still as crazy as they used to be, but if they are, I'd consider getting into Hollywood Studios first thing in the morning and getting fast passes for it.

Phantom Manor, Big Thunder Mountain & Pirates of the Caribbean are also really good rides.

Hey and welcome on the forum

First of al I want to wish you a most wonderful trip.

The biggest advice I can give you is to relax. Take your time and enjoy the atmosphere. Running form attracting and attraction all day is a good way to get everything done. But you wont see the wonderful details and don't get the change to appreciate the most beautiful Disney park in the world.

Use the free fast pass service if it is a busy day. And don't forget the wonderful shows and the parade. (mickey and the magician in the studios park is a must do!)
make sure to get a spot at least 30 minutes before the parade and night time show, especially on busy days.

If your not big shoppers but want to take home a few souvenirs, shop on main street after the night time show (it is busy but you wont miss any attraction time) or in the shops in the village after closing time. And when you are in the main street shops. take a look up an around, they are decorated beautifully.

www.dlpguide.com is a great site with lots and lots of info about Disneyland Paris. From restaurant menu's to attraction trivia. they got it al. they have a description about the fast pass service too.

For breakfast I advise to take a early slot. I that way it will be a little quieter than say at 8 of 9 o'clock, and you will have time to go and enjoy the extra magical hours. Hotel quest are allowed in the park from 8 o'clock, the park opens for non hotel guest at 10.

I hope these tips will help you have the most wonderful experience ever.
