Hi all!
We'll be in Paris in March and would like to visit
Disneyland for one day. We'd like to visit both parks and hit the highlights. We are a family of four, two girls ages 8 and 10. They enjoy Disney World but also like thrill rides. What are the must dos for us?! I realize we can't do it all in one day so I think we will buy a pass to skip some lines.
Also, we are planning to take the RER A from downtown Paris. Is this the best option for transportation?
First question, when in March? There is one region that still has a school holiday till the 5th and March 29th is a national holiday. Of course week days are better than weekends.
Don't worry about language, everything in Paris is bi-lingual. Some show can be a bit of a challenge, but with 1 day and 2 parks, shows take up a lot of time.
I would definitely recommend the RER over a car service as traffic in and around the city of Paris can be brutal.
I think your must do's are:
- Big Thunder Mountain
- Space Mountain
- Indiana Jones
- Phantom Manor
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Star Tours
- Visit the castle & dragon (doesn't take long)
Studios:
- Crush Coaster
- Avengers Assemble
- Spider Webs
- Tower of Terror
- Ratatouille is a maybe, depending on whether or not you have done it in Epcot.
If you can stay for the drones & fireworks show.
Nice if you have time:
Disneyland park:
- Pays des Contes Fees
- Casey Jr.
- Alice' labyrinth
- Snow White and Pinocchio are really kiddie rides, do it if you have time/no line, but easy to skip.
Not sure if you have Autopia in WDW, but it's incredibly slow loading.
I would also skip Nautilus, it's not very exciting and the practical effect has been replaced by a screen recently.
Studios:
- RC Racer
- Route 66 (I would skip it unless your kids are into Cars, in my eyes it's incredibly boring ;-) )
Duplicates (or almost duplicates):
- Peter Pan
- Buzz Lightyear
- Small World
- Ratatouille
- Tea cups
- Philharmagic
- Orbitron / Dumbo / Flying Carpets.
- River boat
