Oh. My. Goodness. I am going to Disneyland Paris the beginning of next year. I am so dang excited!!! Has anyone had the pleasure of going and if so, any tips and advise? I have never been out of the country before.
I have...have fun! I brought top ramen in my suit case, I am a picky eater! HAHAHAHA - Minnis2Society

Whaaa!?? - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1788.8 #42 4:08PM
True Story! I am not as bad as I used to be, I was 17. I went all over Europe...me and my top ramen! When your a teenager you can eat top ramen dry or cooked! LMAO - Minnis2Society 360.0 #388 4:12PM
I still eat Top Ramen raw... And I'm a chef... Lol - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 4:13PM
I do every once is a while, but it was awesome when I was a teenager. There is just nothing like good ol' Top Ramen! - Minnis2Society 360.0 #388 4:17PM
I went to Europe when I was 17, too--I was dying for a turkey sandwich the whole time, lol 😂 - Spoonful_O_Sugar 435.8 #283 5:19PM
Ya, when your 17 you kinda need your own food sometimes! I remember reading menus and thinking WTH?? Glad I have top ramen! LoL - Minnis2Society 360.0 #388 9:07PM
The two times I went overseas I took a jar of peanut butter. Best decision I've made! - LilSterner 2656.0 #17 9:12PM
I had my first taste of goat cheese, and I was totally disgusted, lol 😂 But now I love it! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 435.8 #283 9:23PM
and churro thought I was nuts! HAHAHAHA - Minnis2Society 360.0 #388 9:24PM
True story: When my parents met me at the airport, the first thing I said was "can we stop at Subway?" 😂 I did miss the French bakeries and the Italian pasta and gelato, though! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 435.8 #283 9:28PM
The bread in Paris is the BEST!!! and it is still my most favorite place to be! and they happen to have Disney! - Minnis2Society 360.0 #388 9:30PM
I packed Mac and cheese when I went to London, but that's because I was staying in a flat and didnt know how long it would take to find the markets and stuff. 😁 - bluefairy 627.0 #174 2:10AM
I went in 2000. When I was there the park is set up the same as DL but the rides were very different. Be prepared for odor unfortunately. I can still remember walking into stores on Main St, seeing nobody else in the store, and being able to still smell BO. Just be prepared for that. - LilSterner
2656.0 #17 9:06PM
Thats Great!! Lol 😭😭 - MeAndMy3Girls 176.4 #1907 9:41PM
Really good advice! It's something people don't usually tell you when you go abroad, but it catches you off-guard when you first experience it! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 435.8 #283 9:45PM
SOS I was completely thrown off guard. Especially when standing in lines and it was a crowded hallway. There was no escape. I wish I had taken good smelling lotion or something to out under my nose to help out. - LilSterner 2656.0 #17 10:08PM
Omg that's so gross, and good to know. - maxinerenton 415.1 #310 7:45AM
LOL!! This is good information. Bath and body spray...check! - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #379 12:30PM
I am currently working with one of the teams out there. Trying to convince management that I need to meet them in person. 😝😝 - Experiment818

You would look great in a beret. Imagine all LeTrouble the vinyls could get into! Their adventures on the Seine river, the Left Bank, the Eiffel, on the RER, the Louvre, sidewalk surprises 🐩🐩💩, 😂😂😂 - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1788.8 #42 7:41AM
Need an assistant? Gal Friday? 😁 - bluefairy 627.0 #174 7:09PM
Is that why they're called poo-dles? - Experiment818 1598.0 #47 7:27AM
I haven't been and I'm jealous you are!! Please remember to share pics with us!!! - Armenda
992.0 #89 1:40PM
I for sure will. I am going during winter. Maybe a castle shot with REAL snow :) - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #379 1:47PM
That is my dream time to go!! - Armenda 992.0 #89 2:15PM
I went about 5 years ago I think, they were just building tower of terror and getting their cars area ready for opening. Their rides are a little different from ours so try to go on as many as possible!! Have lots of fun! - SpringLove
196.4 #1675 1:46PM
That's my plan. Glad there are some differences. - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #379 1:48PM
How long are you going to be there? - SpringLove 196.4 #1675 2:16PM
Well I will be in Europe for two weeks and 5 days at Disneyland. - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #379 5:09PM
I was there back in 2009. I wish I had stocked up on maps and other fun little things! Their version of Big Thunder Mountain is amazing!!!!! Talk about a thrill ride! Hope you have a blast! - tiggertwin
317.8 #526 1:51PM
Do the have maps and menus in English? The language barrier makes me a little nervous. - DisneyBride°O°
366.5 #379 1:58PM
Menus yes, I remember that from the Blue Bayou there but I am not sure about the maps. We had a of a bit of a issue there and decided to leave early. I wish now that we had stayed. - tiggertwin 317.8 #526 2:07PM
Oh yes, I remember everything basically was in English first and then French! - AvidDisneyThrifter220 842.2 #108 3:50PM
That's so good to know. I can relax a little. - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #379 5:10PM
I haven't been to DL Paris but I did spent almost a month in Paris and you are in for a treat! It is the most amazing city I've ever been to and I hope you give yourself plenty of time to explore this wonderful place! - LisaMouse7531
408.9 #317 2:11PM
OOh that is awesome, I am so jealous. I would say to make sure to check our their castle, as they have a dungeon with a dragon that I've heard is amazing. The other standout attraction I've heard is a must do is Crush's Coaster. I believe it's in their studios park. - Sarafina
398.5 #335 2:54PM
They have the Indiana Jones mine car coaster that I so desperately want to go...yes add me to the list I'm jealous too. - GoofyMomma
191.5 #1726 3:30PM
I've been to Paris, but not DL. Two words: PIC TURES!!!! - LittleAprilShowers
471.0 #257 3:37PM
This! - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 3:57PM
I will definitely try to post as much as I can. Going to the Netherlands to visit family then off to Paris. Dream come true. - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #379 5:16PM
That is great u get to go :0).. We have never been.. Take a lot of pictures :0) - acesdisneygirl
85.1 #3202 3:39PM
I went in 08! It is so beautiful there! Just have fun and make sure you get the full experience! Space mountain has loops and it really hurts your head so be careful, Indy is a rollercoaster with one loop, pirates takes a picture, and thunder mt is soooo much better there in my opinion. It goes a lot faster and it goes under water at one point :)) a fun game we played to pass time was counting the boys with mullets :P enjoy your trip!!! - AvidDisneyThrifter220
842.2 #108 3:47PM
Hahaha - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1788.8 #42 3:54PM
😂 - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 3:57PM
It sounds amazing! Can't wait to hear all about it and see your pix! I am guessing you will have a wonderful time! - meridafan
1034.5 #83 3:59PM
I've been....Its fun, make sure you stay on property as it in the outskirts and nowhere near Paris...I would spend a max of 3 days there as there is not a lot to do but the 2 parks and it is a bit smaller than out here...Some of the must sees are the Alice in Wonderland Labyrinth, Space mountain UPSIDE DOWN...Indy which has mermaids and a loop, big thunder and the Haunted Manor which is a lot spookier than the Haunted Mansion..I have not been to the studios yet so cant help you there - Dave

We really loved the turtle crush ride. Also we splurged and ate at l'auberge de cendrillon. Best French food, but the characters all gave us weird looks since we had no kids :) park has short hours. - mouselaw1076

Thank you everyone for all of your insight! I really appreciate all of you. I will be there in February. Might freeze but at least I will have a smile on my face. Stay tuned!! - DisneyBride°O°
366.5 #379 5:13PM
I did right after it opened! I loved it then and you will love it now. And I am so jealous! - mercicakes
230.4 #1236 5:22PM
Really COLD there. We went in late December and froze wore every piece of clothing we had. It was mid 20's and breezy. Do like the Scandinavians and wear full length down coats They were toasty and we shivered - altheariley
3.1 #25236 8:04PM
agreed 100%. Paris is more north than us. we went in October one year and we're freeeezing!!! - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1788.8 #42 8:26PM
I went to Paris this year in January, it wasn't too cold. Just take warm boots and cover your head and hands. :) - Bolt22
39.8 #3996 8:22PM
Goin in February...Valentines day actually. Have to stick up on winter gear. - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #379 8:57PM
*stock - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #379 8:58PM
That's so awesome! I've been to Paris during the summer when I was 15.. Unfortunately we didn't go to Disney Paris! We dove past it though haha! Have an amazing time!! Sounds like a lot of MWers have some really great advice :) have an amazing time and please share pics for those of us who will live vicariously through you!! ;) - SarahJoshDisney
69.5 #3408 9:03PM
We went in '08. It's beautiful!! DON'T MISS THE DRAGON UNDER THE CASTLE! We did, and Im still SO bummed! Space Mountain is intense, and it's fun to hear Buzz Lighter speak French. Don't miss Crushes coaster ether. It's a beautiful park, I am sure you will love it!! - Sweet_Irish_Cream
2531.7 #23 9:55PM
Not yet, but bring an empty suitcase and get your passport now! 😜 - bluefairy
627.0 #174 2:20AM
Yes! Get your passport asap! Have fun! - MrsSchnooks 571.6 #193 3:10AM
Getting my passport this week! Excited for this new adventure. Hoping this inspires more travel over seas. - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #379 9:49AM
Disneyland Paris is on my bucket list - TrueFromOzLovesDisney
312.2 #546 3:07AM
People smoke in line. I loved going though!!! :) you can't get from one land to another if I remember correctly. - booboo23kitty
268.4 #839 7:44AM
and in Europe No Smoking 🚫🚬just mean a lil less smoke - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1788.8 #42 8:47AM
Isn't it weird that it used to be like that here? People used to smoke in stores, restaurants and even on airplanes. - Spoonful_O_Sugar 435.8 #283 9:18AM
airplanes..the worst. Smoking section was at the back. As if the whole cabin could not smell it - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1788.8 #42 9:51AM
Smoking in line? That's disgusting and so disrespectful to other guests. bleck. - tuesday737 1076.5 #78 10:05AM
The smoking I could deal with even though its one of my pet peeves I understood it was a cultural thing, where I drew the line was the woman holding her child over the sink telling her to pee. Thank goodness for hand sanitizer! - tiggertwin 317.8 #526 8:35AM
😳 - Fanatic4Disney 257.9 #926 9:54AM
It's such a great place! You have to get a Croque Monsieur. Not sure which restaurants have them (I haven't been in 5 years), but they are delicious! I still dream about them. - Princess_Pirate
7.5 #7873 9:07AM
I will have to look into this for sure! - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #379 9:48AM
I have been! I went in december right before christmas, and it was beautiful. But beware, it's freezing there in winter time! The averages every day were 15-20 degrees, so go prepared. And all the outdoor water rides like it's a small world freeze over because it is so cold! It is smaller than Disneyland, so you could cover the park in 2-3 days in no rush. - noelleybelly
172.3 #1971 10:04AM
Do you think 2-3 days for both parks? - DisneyBride°O°
366.5 #379 12:32PM
Ooh I'm jealous! That should be so much fun! I was actually just reading that they are planning on opening up a new ratatouille ride in 2014. Maybe you'll catch it! http://tinyurl.com/RatatouilleParis2014 - lohofosho
270.6 #819 10:17AM
Take me with you!!! Watch out though, my friend said the rides are crazy there! - Dufus
