Tips for a 1st Timer
« on: April 18, 2015, 08:06:10 AM »
I will be arriving at DLP on Friday afternoon 3pm, will be there the rest of that day and all day on the Saturday

As somebody who has never visited before I was wondering if there were some tips/attractions you could recommend I don't miss as most of you guys on here seem hugely experienced in going, anything advice would be much appreciated

We have booked in at Auberge for the princess lunch on the Saturday and have just purchased a VIP Fast Pass too

The three of us going are massively excited

Big Thunder Mountain is always s must do for me and you can use your fastpasses. Also I'd recommend definitely giving Buzz Lightyear a go, Star Tours, Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan and Its A Small World?

Are you going to the Studios? If yes, Crush's Coaster, Ratatouille and Rock n Rollercoaster are my absolute favourites!

In the main park Phantom Manor (but it can be scary for the little one), Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates, Peter Pan, It's a small world, Les Payes des Contees des Fees (the spelling is wrong for sure!), Buzz Lightyear, the parade and above all Dreams.
In the Studios Ratatouille, Animagique, Cinemagique and Tower of Terror, but again this can be scary.
These are my favourites!
Have a great magic holiday!!!

Don't miss ratatouille it's amazing. I'd try to do that on the Friday ques on our last visit were very busy for this same with crush coaster (but may be to intense for age 6) animagique/playhouse Disney/stich live are fantastic kids shows!

And all above attractions that have been listed! Havnt done princess meal but inventions buffet in the Disneyland hotel is wonderful, great atmosphere and meeting characters. But you may want to maximise time on the Saturday and have a quick meal within the park?

Don't miss dreams at park closing it is breathtaking and a must do for all. It does get busy prior to starting wo I'd recommend getting there little earlier so you have a good view of the castle. Have a zippidy doo dah time  :)

So you were a "first timer" by your reaction it won't be your last!  :)
Glad you enjoyed it. Would you say you "have the Disney bug" every newbie who comes along comes back and says yep "I've got the Disney bug!" haha  :D

We have our first visit scheduled for this July.  I would love to know more about the VIP Fast Pass, how does that work?  Cost and how to purchase?

VIP Fastpass is not available to purchase except through unofficial channels such as eBay. It is a privilege of the most expensive hotel rooms only.
