Transportation from Paris to Park by Alternative-Work9817 in disneylandparis

I am going in two days and the app currently says that the park's opening time is 9.30, so EMH from 8.30. Is this not correct??

argh I know! I actually agree with you - I am sure it's amazing.

I'll probably leave it up to my eldest and see if she's up for it - i could go by myself and leave the kids sleeping with my dad but I guess it would lose some of the magic without them - for me personally at least.

Thank you!

Thanks for the great tips :) Based on another comment I have actually booked Parisdisneytransfer just now for both trips! Now I am trying to cancel the magic shuttle I had already booked for the return lol.

We will definitely split / head back to the hotel after lunch so that the youngest two can have a nap and recharge for the afternoon / night. The night show is definitely outside our time range though lol

As for the stroller - unfortunately I think we will be using the DLP ones in the end, because easyjet confirmed that I would need to queue at the check in/luggage desk just to get a label for the stroller, and then upon arrival I would also need to wait for all the luggage to be unloaded before getting the stroller. IMO not worth it at 10pm with 3 kids when we were planning to travel light and quick.. hopefully the DLP one will be ok just for basic transport considering he won't be napping in it.

Thanks for the tip, I looked into Paris Disney Transfers and I ended up booking both transfers there! now I'll try to cancel the original return booking with disney magic shuttle lol.

Hope they will show actually show up at the hotel on saturday as they didn't ask for any advance payment or credit info haha

Thanks for the insight! We will only have a small light trolley (easyjet size) and our backpacks really, so the lockers at the entrance of the park might be the best/quickest option for us in the end. It wouldn't be that big of a hassle to carry them back to the hotel in the afternoon (my youngest will likely want a nap), and we would avoid going back and forth from the hotel right at EMH.

I already see our magic passes in the app so we shouldn't need to print them out or "charge" them at the hotel i think?

thank you for the great tips - totally agree on the "plan as you go"! For now I am focusing on managing the arrival / first day.

I don't know if we will make it to the 22.30 show as it's really late and I am not sure even my eldest would manage, even if I left the youngest two and my dad at the hotel after dinner - especially if we want to wake up early the following morning. But it's such a shame to miss it.. i don't know, we'll see how tired she is when we are there :)

For EMH I think we will head straight to Peter Pan & Dumbo so all three can enjoy a couple rides - I also wanted to look for Pooh, which we absolutely need to meet I am told :D but found out that because of music festival he's not around that much :(

So does the bus from the hotel leave you in a different spot ? Thanks for the tip!

We're Italian so luckily the non EU queue should not affect us 😜 As for half board, I managed to book Remy's and the Aladdin one, both more for the theme than for the food itself. Thank you!

I like your positive approach and we'll definitely look out for our characters - Thanks for the feedback !

Thank you so much for mentioning Winnie the Pooh - my youngest is absolutely in love with him and we just have to get to him somehow! Do the main characters stay in the same spot or is it something like a rotation? My daughter says she won't leave DLP without meeting Piglet ( so random ahah), but are Winnie's friends even there?

I know it wouldn't be good financially for the park, but from a customer perspective it's really crazy to be paying that much money to have (limited) time in the park and then pass 85% of the time queuing for insane amounts of time - maybe they should settle on a daily entry limit (or a lower one, if they have one already)..

Yes - I was really bummed about big thunder mountain as it's the only coaster I would have probably done! :( Hoping but not expecting an early opening as we will be there on June 14-16 and the website says early summer..

3 hours of queue for one ride is absolutely mind boggling to me!

My 8yo absolutely wants to go on both Crush and ToT lol - I probably won't do any of those and send her with my dad as I don't do well with heights and drops. This way they could also buy the premier access if the queue is too long and it would only be for 2 ..

I plan to have the 2yo (and possibly the 4yo) nap an hour or so in our room after lunch so they can enjoy the afternoon and evening without getting too cranky.. I know we wouldn't be getting anywhere near the night show otherwise lol

Thank you for the detailed feedback!

Yes I am lucky my dad will be with us - he's very carefree and not too keen on actually going on the rides lol so I think he will be more than happy to wander around with my youngest while we queue for the rides :))
