Disneyland Paris

Why Disneyland Paris Is the Ultimate Family Getaway

Gina Hounsome on 07 Apr 2025

I’ve done Disneyland Paris myself, and it’s one of those trips that just works from start to finish. It’s easy to get to, everything’s set up to make life simple, and the atmosphere as soon as you arrive is something else. What stood out to me most was how much you can pack into even a short break without it feeling rushed. It’s exactly why I recommend it so often and why it’s become such a popular choice with my customers.

Why Disneyland Paris Is One of My Top-Selling Trips – And Why You’ll Love It Too.

There’s a reason Disneyland Paris continues to be one of my absolute top sellers because it’s the kind of trip that feels effortless, magical, and genuinely unforgettable from start to finish. Whether you’re travelling with little ones, teenagers, or even as a couple, it truly offers something for everyone.

Getting there couldn’t be easier. With a short flight from the UK or a smooth, stress-free journey on the Eurostar, you can go from your front door to the magic in just a few hours. One of the best parts? Travelling by train is still a breeze with an easy connection at Gare du Nord or Lille before heading straight to the magic. And that first moment walking down Main Street… it never gets old.

The music, the smells of fresh popcorn and sweet treats, the castle in the distance, it’s like stepping into another world. From there, your days can be as action-packed or as relaxed as you like. Thrill rides, gentle attractions, live shows, parades, and spectacular night time fireworks mean every moment is filled with something special. One of the highlights for so many families is the chance to meet beloved characters. From spontaneous encounters in the park to unforgettable character dining experiences, these moments are what make the trip truly personal – especially for younger children. I’ll never forget my own trip. After a long day of travelling, we arrived at the park in the late afternoon, not expecting to fit much in. But even in just a few hours, we managed to do so much , a couple of rides, a wander through the park, soaking up the atmosphere. Then, as we were leaving, we saw Mickey waving goodbye… and my little boy’s face just lit up. That pure joy, that moment of magic, nothing will ever beat it. It’s a memory I’ll hold onto forever.

What I love most about Disneyland Paris is how flexible it is. You can stay in themed Disney hotels for the full immersive experience or opt for nearby partner hotels for great value. You can go all-out with dining plans and character experiences or keep it simple and explore at your own pace. It really does cater to every budget and travel style.

Insider Tips to Make Your Trip Even Better:

* Arrive early or stay late to make the most of shorter queue times

* Download the park app to check wait times and plan your day

* Consider character dining  it saves queueing time in the parks for character meet and greets.

* Don’t miss the parades and night time fireworks - they’re truly spectacular and on every night! 

* Pack snacks and essentials, especially when travelling with younger children.

* Plan at least 2–3 days to fully experience both parks without rushing
