- What to wear to Disneyland Paris? How to make restaurant reservations? In this DLP video we give you tips & tricks to avoid common mistakes visitors of Disneyland Paris make. First timer mistakes in Disneyland Paris, first visit mistakes Disneyland Paris and also common made first visit DLP mistakes.
We cover the following subjects:
Thinking DLP is small; don’t fall into the trap of thinking Disneyland Paris is a tiny park. It’s smaller than Disney World, but there are two Parks (The Disneyland Park and Disney Studios) which cover a huge piece of land and you’ll do it all by foot. You’ll need a lot of time to see it all and experience the rides. Take your time and stay a few days!
Underestimating the weather in Disneyland Paris; the weather in Disneyland Paris is unpredictable. Check the weather report before you pack and be prepared for everything. Bring a foldable umbrella, a good quality poncho and during wintertime: thick scarf and gloves. Wear layers, because when it’s warm you can take something off.
Making no reservations Disneyland Paris; when it’s not so busy in the park you are in luck, because you might find a spot in a nice restaurant after all. But most of the times you’ll end up at counter service restaurants which are less of an experience and have basic menu options. That’s why making reservations is very important. You can call the disneyland paris dinner reservation number at +33 (0) 1 60 30 40 50 and you can make your reservation up to two months in advance.
Leaving your stroller at home or Not renting a stroller at Disneyland Paris: are your kids a bit to big for a stroller and can they walk on their own? Despite this, you’ll probably gonna need to rent a stroller. Kids get tired very quick from all the walking and they wanna be able to rest. If they don’t, than a stroller comes in handy to use as a cart to put all of your stuff in. Renting a stroller in Disneyland Paris costs 20 euro per day. If you want to be able to park-hop with the stroller, than you’ll need to pay a 50 euro deposit. You will get it back when you return the stroller.
Go without the Disneyland Paris app; you can’t live without the app of EuroDisney! You’ll need it for so many things, like getting up-to-date information about wait times, toilet locations, character meet and greets and so much more.
“Saving” on the Photopass; buying a Photopass+ will cost you 70 euro, but you’ll get so much in return! All your ride-photo’s are stored on the Photopass and you can have professional photo’s taken from you (and your whole family) and the characters. There’s also a photo opportunity in front of the Disneyland Paris castle. With the Photopass you’ll buy off all of the photo’s made in Disneyland Paris, but if you don’t have a Photopass, then one photo will cost you around 20 euro’s each!
Only bring your debit card; in Disneyland Paris not everything can be purchased with a VISA card of Debit card. Some things can only be bought in cash. For instance: some carts only take cash and also tips in restaurants can only be given to the waiter in real money. You can not put in on the bill. And what about MOUSEKEEPING? In your hotelroom you might want to give the housekeeping some money to let them know you appreciate them cleaning your room. You’re gonna need cash for this too.
The number one mistake first timers make is wearing the wrong shoes. Shoes are everything when you’re walking several kilometers a few days in a row. Don’t wear flip-flops to disneyland paris or other shoes that might going to hurt your feet. Wear shoes that you trust or otherwise buy yourself new ones (an few weeks ahead) and wear the shoes a few times so they can stretch and fit your feet perfectly.

I KNEW U GUYS WERE DUTCH I HEARD THE ACCENT I LOVE IT
Going to paris in July and we are planning on going to disneyland and it will be my first time at any disney park. i’m so excited it looks amazing
Yes, the Disneyland Paris app is super useful and I don't think most guests are even aware of it. It's actually one of the most key steps of the planning process we think! The app just keeps getting better and better too - especially with dining reservations now included.
This was very helpful! You all are great! 😊 we will be traveling from America and you answered all of my questions! Thank you so much!!!
Hi Natalie, have a great trip across the pond and have a magical stay!
I've never been to DLP but I'm planning (and saving money) to go next year, hopefully. Your videos have been very helpful for getting a general idea on what I have to remember then! ^-^
wow,never know there is an app for disneyland! great tips! planning to go there this july :)
Great to be of service! Have fun in July, we're sure you're going to love it! :-D
I have to stop watching your videos or I'm going to get nothing done today! First trip to DLP in September and this was so helpful especially the part about not being able to tip on your bill - as an American I never would have known that. Thank you!
Hi Jen, we're so happy we could help you out with our videos! We hope you'll have an amazing time in DLP in september. :-D
In France the service is included in the price so except an exceptional service you don't have to tip. Unlike the USA all the waiters are paid at the minimum salary who is just under 10€ per hour or more.
Hey Jen! I just read this, are you still going in september? Just curious thats all x
Just a note about the DLP app; some of the ride wait times can be deceptive. For example, the Disneyland Railroad frequently includes the 20-minute wait for the train to come around again - it's not 25 minutes of queuing!
Hi Tomsonic, that's true! The times aren't always accurate. That can be an disadvantage sometimes ... or not ;-)
I just heard about an app that is supposed to be good for wait times @ Disneyland Paris. It’s called MagiPark.
Really enjoyed this video! I might’ve also binge watched most of the others on your channel! I’m going in late September/early October and it’ll be my first time overseas. I’ve been to both US parks and can’t wait for DLP! Thanks for be helpful advice :D
Much obliged! Only DLP or some other sightseeing as well? We've been to WDW .What an Adventure! Have a great time in Europe!
SeeYouInMainstreet thank you :D I’m going to England, France, and Italy in total. DLP falls right in the middle of the trip.
WDW is amazing! Disneyland in CA is my home park. If you guys go there I’d love to help give you tips on that park! So much fun
Thank you Sasha! CA is definitely on our wishlist, so if we need some advice we know where to find you ;-)
These are indeed the tips and tricks beginners could use! So cool! I always walked straight towards the restaurants to make reservations. Actually never been to City Hall for that, but I am definitely going to dot that my next visit! Thanks guys! Gabriella
Thanks so much for this video! I’m looking forward to going for the first time in March ❤️✨😊
😔
Thanks for these great tips. Were going for the first time next week!
That's so exciting!! Have fun!
Thank you for your tips
Walt's Restaurant and Bistrot Chez Remy are must things to do for advanced reservations!
We are going to Disneyland Paris today for the first time, we have been watching your videos and absolutely love them, thank you for all the advice
Thank you Jose!! We’re so happy our videos are helping with your holiday preparations 😃😃 have fun in Disneyland Paris!!

Tip 1 check the weather....WOW genius !
Hi Morag, you would be surprised how people are dressed ;-)
Rewatching all your videos again haha
Yes!!! 🙌🙌
Great advice on everything. I like the shoe advice, amazing what you see people wear sometimes! As an example for what not to wear, check out 3:20 of this video. Yikes!
WOW! Well spotted! High heals ... oh boy!
I love Disney😍 Summer vacation 2019 we're going to disney for the second time. The first time we've had an amazing time at the parks. We've stayed at the Santa Fe hotel. It was a Cars themed hotelroom and for a 7/8 year old kid it was so nice! I loved the big thunder moutain. And i surelly wanna go in there when i am there😂 you've really helped me with these tips. Im surelly gonna use those😍
How wonderful to hear! Are you going to stay in the Santa Fe hotel again?
We’ve just booked for June we r staying at Santa Fe I have a 9 and 11 year old hoping the hotel is ok, our problem is we haven’t booked any dining packages and I have a fussy 9 year old boy so not sure where we r going to eat everyday :(
Am I right in thinking you aren’t allowed to take any food or drink into the park with you??
You are two beautiful people, always make me smile ☺
You guys are just awesome! Keep up the fantastic work and fun of course! 😁
Thank you Patrycja! We'll do our best!
TOMORROW IM GOING THERE FOR MY FIRST TIME CANT WAIT
OMG how cool! Have an amazing time tomorrow :-D
Great video. Really helpful tips. I've started planning a trip for next Spring and I'm so glad I found your channel.
We're happy to help! Have fun planning your trip 😃🙌🏻🙌🏻
Very helpful thank you
I’m going to Disneyland Paris in March for the second time! Can anyone help with something. I’ll be arriving into Disney first thing in the morning from Paris and will be staying at one of the on site hotels for the rest of my stay. Can we still take advantage of the extra magic hours on this day that I arrive?
I guess yes IF you have time to bring your stuff to the hotel, get your magic passes etc, that might hard!
Okay first of all, you two look so cute! I’m gonna be going to Disneyland with my boyfriend and this is my first time ever, so guess who’s gonna binge your videos haha! Now I know this has been posted a few months ago but I have a question: is February a good time to go to ? Bc I would really like to go then as we have one week of vacation and I want to know if the parcs will be less crowded? Thanks in advance!
Hi Zahra, yes February is great because it isn't very crowded. :-D It might be cold, so please watch our last video about 'surviving winter' in DLP.
Hi Zahra, we also answered your question in the Q&A video that will be uploaded today :-)
Weer een supervideo. Had vanmiddag op de andere gereageerd via een andere account haha. En jullie zijn ook zo lekker vrolijk.. geweldig!! Groetjes Wendy
Dankjewel Wendy!
Very helpful guys - thank you!
Hi Abby, you're welcome! Glad to hear you found our video's useful. Already plans for the near future? Thanks for watching!
This is so helpful
Top tips guys... thank you!
Our pleasure Queila! And in a week or so we will upload a new Tips video :-D
Great video! Me and my gf will take those tips to heart before visiting DLP for the first time in febuary next year! One question: Does the ultimate fastpass ticket already include the entrance ticket or do we have to buy another ticket to enter DLP?
Hi there! Great to hear that our video's were helpful. The Ultimate Fastpass is an extra option sold separately from the entrance ticket. And remember; DLP can't be done in one day. Reserve at least 3 days for the best experience. Happy holidays!
I’m going to Disneyland Paris in 2019 and this helped me so much ! I’m so scared to go due to my anxiety but it’s Disney !! I want to plan everything now so this is really helping. The app sounds like a life saver !! I really only want to get three photos ... one with Micky one in front of the castle and one with belle but I’m worried I won’t get them. Also wondering what pin trading is like in Disneyland Paris as I have a lot of pins I would like to trade. Adore your videos your both so adorable !!
Hi! Did you see our episode 'how to avoid the crowds'? It's a perfect video to watch for when you have anxiety. You can meet Mickey at his special location, all you need to do is wait in line. At the Princess Pavilion you can meet Belle. You can also book a dinner at Auberge de Cendrillon where you meet (almost) all the Disney Princesses. Pin trading isn't as big as in America, but you can absolutely do it in Disneyland Paris too. Have fun on you vacation!!
SeeYouInMainstreet oh wow thank you so much for replying ! Just watched your video about crowds and it helped so much ! Thank you so much for the tips I appreciate it ! And thank you !! ☺️
Can you make a video for Disneyland Paris Pro's too? I love your channel!! 😍
Lekker Nederlands accent😂
Tuur langen WOU PRECIES HETZELFDE ZEGGEN😂
Meschien zijn ze nederlands
Talana Lover jha hallooo logisch ...
Hahah, ja vreselijk!
Verrry neis rijt
Thank you so much for this video!! The ending made me subscribe haha
I'll be going next year for the first time and I'm wondering if one day is enough to experience both parks?
No way short answer.. waiting in the lines takes half the day
Thank you these tipps realy helped me
I'm going for my second time but the last time I went was with family. It's gonna be an interesting experience with just me and friends. Thank you for this video guys :)
Indeed! A whole new experience. Enjoy!
Hey Guys love the content. Soo helpful. We are experts at planning WDW trips but first time visitors for DLP. How crucial or advance dining reservations in say mid November. I see several videos where it looks like people are able to do walk in reservations?
hopefully see you guys October 8th to 12th when im next there :)
Thank you so much I'm going to Disney for the first time in Paris in August!!
That's so cool!! We're so glad you've found our channel 😃 have fun in August! It's a great time to visit the park (sunny weather!)
we are going in August and your videos have really helped:)Thanks
We're so happy we could help! Thank you Kiddie
We are too
I went to disney aug. 10 to 12 too
Hi, my family of 6 are planning on gling in February any advice or particular videos we should look at? Xx
Hi there! You could in the playlists that we made. Take a look at the hotel- and tips &tricks playlists. Stay safe and enjoy the preparations!
Hi, we're going to disney with my family this june and for the first time we're staying at a hotel, so is it in that period really important to make a reservation for the restaurants? Cause we mostly just know on the day before or on the day itself where we want to eat. Just discovered your channel and i love it (it's fun to watch even if you're going for the fifth time, xoxo)
Really good I being six times and still good tips thank you
I love this video!
Thanks!
We going at 28.July to Disneyland ....I hope I See some of use .....the tips are so good we love it
Great to hear Bigmo!! Have fun in July!
Hi guys we are staying at the Newport bay hotel with breakfast included..we are having the breakfast in the hotel where would the breakfast be served? Thanks.
Hi Sam, it will be served in the Cape Cod restaurant. Have a Magical stay!
@@SeeYouInMainstreet thank you so much 😘
The reservations (especially for dinner) should be made several days before otherwise it would be really difficult to get a table, especially in summer
Just found out today you dont have to wait 60 days to do reservations for meals at DLP,Im going in May and you can now reserve online,today i booked Bistro Chez Remy and Inventions at Disneyland Hotel,so now you do not have to phone France to book ...I have the links if you like?
I feel like the video should have been 3 rather than 10 minutes (then you would of course lose the option for a mid-reel ad...) but good advice!
Isn’t number 8 a rule for everywhere, not only Disneyland? 😅
We bought a popcorn box 2017 in Tokyo and use it since then in all Disney Parks 👍🏻
The best option to make a reservation in a restaurant is the App, in general, before you go to Disneyland, download the app! For many restaurants you have to make a reservation 30-60 days before your visit, so it would be too late to make the reservation in the park or the hotel…
:)
But I have a question: I know the photo pass + is really expensive, but how much does the regular photo pass cost?
Think I'll take our stroller for our 4 year old.... Thank you. I was on the fence... but now l know she'll be tired.
Thank you for the helpful video. My husband and I are planning a trip to London and Paris and we are big Disney fans. Even though our family and friends think we are crazy, we think what could be more awesome to see Disney in Paris! I do have a question... does Disneyland Paris have many foreign visitors? Disney World in Florida has visitors from all over the world!
Penelope Pitstop hi. From London and we go every year. It had people from all over the world. Don’t forget that nearby you got a big shopping outlet too with all designers
Tony Dappa awesome! We plan to devote 2 days of our trip to Disney.
thank you for a great video you did I'm definitely going to go
Hi Diane, great to hear! Have fun in Disneyland Paris :-D
SeeYouInMainstreet thank you I will
Is the photopass really worth is? Isn't it possible to take your own photos at meet&greets and such?
Photopass also includes the ride action photos. These start at approximately €16,- and you have to carry the photos though the parks for the rest of the day. Yes you can get character photos with your own camera and/ or mobile phone, but not the ride photos.
We talk about the photopass in this video: ua-cam.com/video/B57xZ70Uf_A/v-deo.html
Very helpful video, thank you for the tips 💖 we're planning our trip to Disney for August at the moment.
That's awesome!! Happy planning :-D
As far as using cash in the park , is it euro’s only ? Really enjoyed your video ,subscribed !
Yes it’s euros only, but you can pay with your credit card 😊 thank you for subscribing!!
Question about Photo Pass - I go to Disney World in FL all the time. The photo pass people will also take a picture of you with your own camera or cell phone at no charge in FL. Is that true here as well?
Hi Annie, no worries, they happily make pictures of you with your own camera 😊
Another question, is the photo pass something where your pictures will show up on the app like in Florida and California or is it a CD that you buy?
I hope you can help me. Do I need the photo Pass 100% or can I also take pictures of my friends with the individual characters with my private camera? And thank you for the tips. It's very informativ. 👍😁
Hi AnnKathrin, you can also give your own camera to a Disney photographer and they will make pictures for you. No problem :-)
SeeYouInMainstreet Thank you 😃
Thankyou very helpful information 😁

Our pleasure Caroline!
Kleine correctie. Disneyland Parijs is niet groter dan de Efteling. In tegenstelling.... De Efteling is groter.
jullie hebben echt een heel leuk kanaal (vind ik) en ik heb een vraag bij welk hotel verblijven jullie en hoe gaan jullie naar disneyland ?
Hoi Brent! Dankjewel voor het compliment 😃 wij wisselen heel veel tussen hotels in Disney omdat we alles een keer meegemaakt willen hebben. 😜 Soms verblijven we buiten het Disney park. We gaan meestal met de auto naar Disneyland Parijs. 🚗
Thanks so much.
You're welcome!!
I’m going with my school and we only get a day 6-8 hours is that enough?
Just an FYI: My favorite shoes here in the U.S.A are by SAS! These shoes are a little expensive, but if you want excellent walking shoes that won't do you wrong, (and you need to really have your feet measured if you buy them), these are the shoes to wear. They're made in Texas, and the website is sasshoes.com. That stands for San Antonio Shoemakers, and they're labeled as athletic shoes. They have excellent artch supports, and they don't just sell athletic shoes. Even their more dressy shoes can be used, because they've designed them for walking. No worries, they're made for both men and women. Enjoy!
we'll check them out :-D thanks
About how much cash should one person bring? Can you buy a photo pass and have the pictures mailed to the USA?
Thank you , really helpful, going in August for the first time with 11 year old twins , are the rides height restricted?
Hello Helen, some of the rides have indeed a height restriction. On the Disneyland website ( www.disneylandparis.com/en-gb/attractions/ ) and the Disneyland app ( play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.disneylandparis.android ) , you can find the height restrictions of the attractions. We hope this helps you plan your DLP trip. Have a Magical stay!
Is there an option on ur hotel room phone aswell? I think I did that x
Is there any place/services to keep the belongings such as luggage over there?
Is it safe to bring a bag? They gard them while youre on the rides?
Hi Lily, it's safe to bring a bag, however you must take the bag inside the rides with you. Don't bring a bag that's too big. A shoulder bag or small bagpack is perfect. Have fun!
ty for this im going this december
How was it?
I'd rather go to the Disneyland in LA since its 30 mins away 😅😂
Are the wait times updated to be accurate? Cause I know sometimes the Disneyland Anaheim app was inaccurate
Hi Whatever, As far as our experience goes, the app is quite accurate. Might be off by 5 to 10 minutes. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Whatever Goes they are updated every time there’s a change xx
Good morning dears, we’re going to DLP in a few weeks with two 5 years old children. We’re going to stay two days. Do you suggest to spend one day at Disneyland Park and one day at the Studios, or do you think that it would be better to buy a two parks ticket for the second day? I am afraid that one entire day at the Studios is too much.
Thank you!
Hi Stefania, thank you for your comment. We think that, like you suggested, is to visit Walt Disney Studio's for "half'" of the day. There is a lot under refurbishment and with your children being 5 years, I guess they would have more fun in the Disney park. Haver a Magical Stay!!
Subbing for sure! My fiance and I are going to DLP for our honeymoon and these videos are super helpful :)
That's awesome!! When are you going to get married?
Which is the best ticket for a couple for a day?
The Cheyenne Hotel is Veeery far from the park. i know it is economic and cheaper to stay there, also It is good only for those who can have longer holidays, more than 3 day, In my opinion you should stay at the Sequoia Lodge Hotel. It is much closer to the park, and a better economic category. Thank you for sharing these tips. You have a new subscriber to your channel!! By the way, do you have a video for the hotels?
Yes, we made a playlist of all our videos about Disneyland and Hotels :-D ua-cam.com/play/PLKxTzfMw1ex6cvJWsl4KueyIBCH-XCuel.html
If you think this Disneypark is big? Go visit Europapark in Rust please
It's indeed on our bucket list ;-)
Hi I’m going next month for 1 day is it possible to do both parks in one day? & if not which one is the better park ? thanks !
Hi Imani, If you have only one day, we would suggest Disneyland park. Visiting both parks in one day would be a rushing marathon. Especially in winter when the parks close early (20.00h). If you have the budget for it we would recommend the Ultimate Fastpass ( ua-cam.com/video/yROP9KUKtsk/v-deo.html )to skip long cues in the regular lines. Anyway, have fun!
thank you sooo much
Hey I have a question, I want to visit Disneyland to see the pink castle most importantly not so the rides. Can I just walk into the park ticketless to the pink Cinderella castle and then buy each ride if I want?
Hi Fernandes, sorry to say, but you do need an entry ticket to get close to the castle. The system you're describing was used in the early years of the original Disneyland park in Anaheim, California. The park that still is free to enter and buy/use individual ride tickets is Linnanmäki in Helsinki, Finland. Thanks for watching and your patience for an answer!
Kan je ook via de conciërge reserveren voor bijvoorbeeld planet Hollywood? Of alleen de restaurants in de parken?
Keer kan reserveren voor alle Disney restaurants, dus ook de hotel restaurants. Planet Hollywood is niet van Disneyen daarom kunnen ze niet voor je reserveren. Sommige restaurants, zoals Rain Forest Café, hebben niet de mogelijkheid om te reserveren.
Are you from the netherland?
If I just go there one day ( as I have booked hotels in the city area), should I visit one Park or 2 Parks? or 2Parks for 2 Days ? Thanks
We would advice you to chose one park and especially Disneyland Park, because this park is more beautiful than the other and filled with classic Disney rides. :-D Have fun!
ik was de 6 de mei geweest 2 dagen later als jullie en ik was bij hotel santa fe !!!
Dan hebben we elkaar nét gemist, jammer! Volgende keer beter 😉😃
maar tot waneer ben je daar geweest
Wij waren er van 1 t/m 6 juni :-)
a lot of subcribe spam, but the video was so informative and fun that I subcribed xD
🙈🙈 sorry for all the subscribe begging 😯 but we’re so happy you did subscribe to our channel! Thank you! 💜💜
Als je zo’n photopass koopt betaal je dan eenmalig 60 euro? En kan je dan alle foto’s krijgen die je wilt? Of is het 60 euro en moet je dan alsnog betalen daarvoor? En hoe werkt het precies? Krijg je het dan op je telefoon?
Make a video about disneyland salon please
I have a question for you...are lyk cards any good in the Dlp?
Hi! We're not sure what you mean by 'lyk cards'? Can you explain a bit more? :-)
Where/when did you buy the green ears?
Hi Rowana! I bought them last time in one of the shops of Disneyland Paris. They're so pretty, don't you think?
SeeYouInMainstreet I love them! I'm going to DLP in 3 days so hopefully they'll still have them
I think they will! Have fun in Disneyland Paris 😃👍🏻👍🏻
Hi.. we r planning to take my daughter to Disney land park on July.. food s a prob for us sometimes.. can I eat outside food/ packed lunch.. xoxo
Hi Sountharya, Yes you can bring your own packed lunch. have a Magical stay!!
Hi. I am Nitin from India. Like your important tips. I wanted to know if i have to select one theme, which one will be the best ?
Hi Nitin! We always like the Pirate theme a lot :-D Thank you for watching
SeeYouInMainstreet Thanks so much for another tip😉
And what are the other themes ?
Do you mean the different lands in the park?
SeeYouInMainstreet like pirate theme there were i think 3 more themes. As u said in video you cannot watch all in 1 day
I don't know much French, how easy is it to communicate their while being an English speaker?
Maddy Reedy absolutely fine, I have never spoken to any staff at the parks or hotels that don’t speak English
Het zou geweldig zijn als je via de app reserveringen kon maken
Dat is zeker waar! Helaas kan dat nog niet :-(
Can you also buy one of the pictures in some rides or do you gotta have the pass to buy(kun je sommige foto's apart kopen van plaats die photopass te gebruiken want ik vindt het wel verschrikkelijk duur)
Hai Siham, ja je kan een foto ook los kopen, maar dat is in verhouding veel duurder. Een losse foto kost geloof ik 20 euro.
Jullie hebben het fout ovet grotet dan de efteling. In oppervlaktr is de efteling groter. Maar heeft minder attrscties
