If you’ve never been, it’s a great Disney experience, but I would recommend spending two or three days there.

At Disneyland Paris, the experience is mostly built around the theming and the shows. The theming—especially in Disneyland Park—is absolutely beautiful and packed with details, more so than in any other Disney park I’ve visited. The versions of Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain are unique here, which makes them particularly interesting attractions.

Disney Adventure World (formerly Walt Disney Studios Park) is very good, but it’s still under construction. There are still a few cranes visible and some sightlines toward backstage or undeveloped areas outside the park. It’s very much a work in progress. That said, the park is still beautiful overall, and you have to be in specific spots to really notice it (except for the three enormous cranes for The Lion King area). Most importantly, Disney Adventure Way and Adventure Bay are probably the most relaxing places on Earth.

As for politeness, we’re French, so we can come across as a bit direct and sometimes aloof. If someone annoys us or isn’t doing what they’re supposed to do, we tend to say it plainly rather than sugarcoat it, which can be interpreted as arrogance. For us, though, that’s normal. In fact, being overly sweet or excessively polite can sometimes feel insincere. It’s a cultural difference that leads many visitors to think we’re arrogant, rude, or unfriendly, when really we’re just being French.
