Thanks so much for this video! You are awesome!!
Thank you so much for watching and for such a lovely comment!
Thank you for a lovely video ! Very informative!
Thank you so much for watching! I hope this video can help! I do love that each time of year has its pros and cons so you can choose which time is best for you!
@@MostMagicalGuides yes! But in my case I received my Disney trip as Christmas present … so as wonderful the gift is and as super exited I am. I could not choose the time for my visit. So now I’m trying to watch vids to prepare for may’s trip. I also watched your video about the new fast passes . Probably will opt for those!
@@anezkawijsman5338 what a wonderful Christmas present! I hope you have an amazing time! What I liked in May is that the parks are open late so you have plenty of time and can even take breaks in the day! And all the restaurants are open so you have lots of choice! Plus the weather is good!
@@MostMagicalGuides yes the Weather is the most exiting part for me! I have visited in June and in November. June was so overpacked plus I was too little for half the exiting rides :D and November we had the most horrible weather. This time I would like to focus on the atmosphere in the park, visit restaurants and do more of the not so mainstream attractions. Plus now I have adult spending money which makes it even more exiting!
@@anezkawijsman5338 it is so exciting to be able to visit and do all the things you've ever wanted! I do love to visit the restaurants and shows too! The shows are so good! I love to shop so I totally get the excitement of adult spending money!
Great information! We're visiting friends stationed in Germany from the US and we all plan to go to dlp in November '24.
Thank you so much for watching! It is so wonderful you are visiting your friends! I love Germany! It is perfect you can visit Disneyland Paris at the same time! I think November is a great month!
Hi! I loved your video! I'm going this year on December 11th - 14th. Do you think those are good dates? thank you!
How exciting your trip is coming up soon! December is lovely as you have all the Christmas decorations, music and characters in their Christmas costumes! It is the most Christmassy destination and so beautiful! Be sure to take some layers of clothes with you and then enjoy the magic!
Hi! Greetings from California. I am so happy I found your videos. I’m planning a trip to Disneyland Paris for May. I have a question. On “whit day” would it be relatively busier? I am a Disney fanatic and I am so excited to visit here
Hi Bri! It is so lovely to hear from you! It is amazing you are planning to come to Disneyland Paris in May! What a fantastic trip to take! Public holidays in France, such as Whit Day, do make the parks busier as lots of locals come to the parks as schools and businesses are closed. But if you are staying at a Disneyland Paris hotel the extra magic hour you get will help you rides the most popular rides with much shorter queue times. You can also purchase Premier Access passes to skip the queue for the rides you cannot miss! I am doing a video soon all about the ways you can save time at DLP so you can fit more in so I hope that can help too!
@@MostMagicalGuides you have no idea on how much I appreciate your reply. If you ever plan to come to Disneyland in Anaheim please reach out I have TOO MANY TIPS! Hey so I’m panning to go to Disneyland Paris a Monday or Tuesday BEFORE Whit Monday. Should I be ok? Or is Whit Monday an entire week off? I believe for May 2023 will be on May 29th and I should be there 1 week before then .
Also, which other parks have you visited? Do you have a favorite ride @ Disney Paris?
@@missbrisely Hi Bri! Oh my gosh I will totally pick your brains about Disneyland! I am so excited to hopefully visit again and have much longer so I can explore it all! But I don't know much at all so all your advice would be fab! From my understanding Whit Monday is a public holiday just for that day. So people may visit as a long weekend the two days before it but if you are visiting the week before it should be normal crowds!
I've been to Disneyland, Disneyland Paris and Disney World. In fact I fly back to Disney World tomorrow! I am desperate to visit the other parks, particularly Tokyo!
My favourite ride at Disneyland Paris is Big Thunder Mountain! Phantom Manor, The Tower of Terror, RC Racer and Space Mountain are amazing too! In fact a lot of these rides are voted to be the best versions at Disneyland Paris and I have to agree!
Thank you for all. Have so much fun at WDW. And I will take all your advice. Cheers from the Mexico Pavillion (if you do EPCOT) I was there last year and they have a beautiful altar for day of the dead. (Día de Los Muertos) I am half Mexican half American. Let me know how it goes. I’ll be watching more videos
@@missbrisely thank you so much! My trip has been amazing so far! The Mexico pavilion is one of my favourites! It is so beautiful!
Hi Sophie I need your help again - hope you don't mind! Do I need to complete a passenger locator form, I have tried to do it online but it asks for a lot of personal information I just wonder what you have done last time you went to Disneyland Paris. Thank you xxx
Hi Nicola! You can fill one out online ahead of your trip but I've never been asked to show one and on the UK government website it just said that you could be asked to fill one out on the plane. So I think that if that advice is still the same you don't need to do one unless they request it once you are on the flight (but both times I've been this year I've never had to show it or had the flight staff get people to complete them). xxx
Hi... thank you so much for making this video
I am visiting disney land on 14th November this year with my 4 year lo...we are used to higher temperatures in our place ( 40 ° C )....do u think she can enjoy in the cold weather...
Hello! It is so exciting you will be visiting Disney so soon! It can be difficult when you are used to a totally different climate! I totally think even with the cooler weather you can still enjoy Disney!
What I like to do is take lots of layers of clothes with me. This way I can warm up or cool down depending on how I am feeling. Whenever I visit Disneyland Paris in the colder months I wear a few layers and then also take an extra jumper in my backpack with me just in case I need it when I am out in the parks.
A great option if it is feeling cold is to head indoors and see a show! I also like to take breaks in Videopolis. Here there is lots of seating and they show Disney cartoons, which is a perfect place for a break to warm up!
If you are wanting to warm up during the day a meal at a table service restaurant is a great way to rest your feet and also take advantage of the heating! The Disney hotels also have character meet and greets in them throughout the day so this can be a great way to warm up and still do something fun!
Hey! Love your videos. I have just booked 3 nights in Cheyenne/4 days in the parks for November mon-thurs the week in between Halloween and Xmas decorations going up. It was super cheap and I really want to avoid crowds, but will we miss out on decorations entirely? Going 6th to 9th.
This is so so exciting! I think this is a fab time of year to visit! I went this very week in 2021 and when I arrived the Halloween decorations were still up and when I left the Christmas decorations had just gone up so I got to enjoy both! It is a good time of year for price and crowd levels too so this is perfect!
@@MostMagicalGuides perfect! Thanks so much! Travelling with a 5 year old so was feeling a bit bad for him missing out.
@@hellcat19832 how exciting! I hope you have the best time and make lots of memories together!
Sophie, you are our DLP #fairy #godmother 🌷🥳 This is awesome guide thank you 🌸 What do you think of January & June visit please❓❓I don’t like crowds either ❌ I also assume the Halloween season, which starts beginning of October is very crowded❓Btw, I #love love looove your #tshirt 😍 … it is #extra #chic and cute at the same time and it suits you great 🤩🥳
Thank you so much! January can be great as you have fewer crowds (but it will be cold so take lots of layers!) and it is a cheaper month to visit. June has lovely weather but the crowds are bigger and it costs more. So it depends on what type of trip you would like to have! October is a great time to visit to see all the Halloween decorations! The closer it gets to Halloween the busier it will be (as there is also a school holiday during this time) but if you visit towards the beginning of October this can be a great time to visit!
@@MostMagicalGuides Yet again, thank you so much Sophie 🌷🌷🌷 I booked mid June already last week, January is booked too … now I only need to decide what to do with the beginning of October (either I cancel the booking of June or January or await for October of next year … will decide eventually 😎🤣😇 ) … dlp is becoming #addictive 😂😂 Best wishes 🍀
Yes! It is so exciting you have two trips booked! It is so true that it is addictive!
Hi there, I'm so glad I came across your channel! I'm vegan and I've been worried about visiting DLP because I'd heard the food options were so limited, but I feel much better now. :)
I'm thinking of visiting Monday 11th September - Thursday 14th September 2023, staying on property. Visiting during the week as I know that should be better than weekends. I thought this way I'd avoid French, UK, Spanish and Italian school holidays (and public holidays too, as far as I can tell). I know the run Disney event is usually towards the end of the month too, so I'm hoping to avoid that.
Tickets for this window are cheaper than others in surrounding weeks, so I'm hoping that means Disney expect it to be a bit less busy. What do you think? Are there any better time windows around September time I could consider to try to get around huge crowds and massive waits?
Hi Nikita! Thank you so much for watching! It is always the best meeting fellow Disney Vegans! In the past 16 months so much more vegan food has come to DLP so it is nice to be able to have an option in almost every restaurant now! The only place I would say that is lagging is the buffets. But quick service and table service restaurants have some really great options now!
September is such a great time of year to visit and you have the exact same way of thinking as me! Avoiding all the school holidays and public holidays makes the trip cheaper and the parks quieter so this is a great time of year to visit! At the moment the RunDisney events haven't returned to DLP at the present time but it is great to avoid those weekend which you have already planned!
Weekdays are definitely quieter too so your plan is perfect!
Vegan options are really starting to be easier to find now!
Was at Orlando end of last year and it was so easy to find options now!
And the quality of the food was fantastic too!
Hi there! We are looking at going in November next year! Around 20th! For 5 days. The fewer crowds are a bonus! What other things are there in November? Will the parades/fireworks be Christmasy related? With some restaurants shut will there still be a decent selection to eat? Eating in the hotel does that have a certain time to finish? Are all the shops open? And do all rides still operate in November? Many thanks.
How exciting! By the 20th you will usually have the Christmas decorations and music which is so so nice! There should also be a Christmas parade which is great! In November some of the restaurants are usually shut (as they shut seasonally) but there will always be enough available to dine in. It tends to be more quick service restaurants that close than table service. All of the shops will be open and almost all the rides will be open (there may be one or two that have scheduled maintenance but you would know of that in advance - for example at the moment it's a small world is closed for a big refurbishmet - but it will be open when you are visiting). I really enjoyed visiting in November for the smaller crowds - I got so much done!
@@MostMagicalGuides thank you so much for your reply! My partner is dairy free, so some table service restaurants might not be okay for her. Buffets will be fine. Are all quick service restaurants shut or will some be open?
Many thanks!
@@JayneticGaming I'm vegan and the table service restaurants have been amazing with options! This year they have now added plant-based options to almost every restaurant so there is so much choice now! I have reviews of all the food I've had at Disneyland Paris if that could help out!
There will always be some quick service restaurants open which is great news! Some of them may be closed seasonally but there should be enough open to have a range of different foods.
@@MostMagicalGuides thank you so much! We’re not going till next November in 23! But wanted to know as much as possible before then
I will be going in March to Paris with my first two days at the parks. How are the crowds in March?
It is super exciting you will be visiting Disneyland Paris in March! March is a great time of year to visit! Weekends are busier than weekdays and the first week of March is a school holiday in France, so on these dates the park will be busier. But generally the queues are a good length of time in March! I visited this March and we did everything we wanted to in 2 days (even though we were there for 5!) so you can definitely pack a lot into two days!
I want to go at the end of November Monday- Friday (3Days both Parks). How long is Disneyland open? and Village is it longer open?
In November the parks tend to shut around 6pm but Disney Village is open later so this is the perfect time to look in the shops and also eat in Disney Village! You can also eat in the Disney hotel and visit places like the Skyline Bar in the Art of Marvel Hotel. November is a great time of year to visit as the crowds are very low, which also means the wait times are very low! You will get a lot done in 5 days which is great news! Plus at the end of November the Christmas decorations will be up!
@@MostMagicalGuides but the Parade is still at 5 pm or earlier in Disneyland, because Studio Park is 5 pm closed Right ? 1hour earlier ..
@@QQXXEE the studios park does tend to close earlier than Disneyland Paris, but with the opening of Avengers Campus this has changed a bit currently. Unfortunately at the moment we don't know the opening hours for this November but I presume it will most likely be the same as usual (but perhaps Avengers Campus may stay open a bit later like it currently is). The parade times do change throughout the year because of the change in opening hours. I believe when I was there in November the parade was at 4.30 due to the earlier closing time. But I would highly recommend getting the Disneyland Paris app and a few months before your trip they will start putting park hours and parade times for the dates you are there so you have all the correct information for your trip!
@@MostMagicalGuides ok thank you very much
Good afternoon 🌅
Do you know when the DLP dated tickets for May go on sale , I checked the website ticket calendar and its only selling tickets up to end of March , also is the park less crowded in May than in April because of French school holidays?
Thanks 😊
David 👋
Hi David! I am not sure exactly when the tickets for May will go on sale. Sometimes tickets will become available each day. So for example April 1st may become available and then April 2nd and so on, so you just need to check back closer to the dates you want. Or sometime Disney will suddenly release tickets for a few months at a time. So just keep checking every now and then for the dates you would like!
(If you are staying at a Disneyland Paris hotel your park tickets are included in the price. Because of this it can sometimes work out cheaper to stay at a Disney hotel rather than staying off-site and buying tickets separately so I always price both up just to see!)
The parks will always be less crowded outside of school holidays and public holidays so avoiding April and the beginning of May in 2024 could definitely be a good choice!
@@MostMagicalGuides Hi Sophie , Thanks for the information and for the Italian holiday schedule, I have just booked for the middle of May done my best to avoid French school holidays 😂 I just returned from DLP last week had a super time but the park was packed, long queues , the shuttle buses were also very busy mostly Spanish , looking forward to going back in May I was gonna book March but like you say the weather is better and the park is open later in May , when I went Peter Pan's Flight was closed I think they were doing maintenance and sadly problems with Big Thunder Mountain 😭 so hopefully when I go back in May I will be able to go on the rides I missed , also wanted to eat in Toad Hall restaurant but it closed early for some reason, will you be going back this winter or March ?
Thanks again
David 👍
It is so exciting you have just come back and have booked another trip! That is the way to do it! I think May will be good as it isn't as busy as summer but has nicer weather than the winter months. It is such a shame when rides are closed! Bit Thunder Mountain was closed during my last trip too which was such a shame! I am looking forward to going on it on my next trip! Toad Hall is one of my favourites! It is such a shame when some of the restaurants shut so early, which I've never understood! I am going back in 2 weeks time for the Grand Finale of the 30th Anniversary which should be fun!
@@MostMagicalGuides Good Morning 🌞 Have a wonderful time when you go back for the Grand Finale , I wish I could win the national lottery Sophie I would be flying to DLP straight away , maybe one day 😊 at least I have May to look forward to .
Have a great weekend
David 👋
Thank you so much David! OMG that would be the dream! I think if I won the lottery I would splash out on the Disneyland Hotel too! It is the best when you have a countdown to look forward to and you know you will be back in the magic soon!
Where did you get that cute pillow?
I got the Adventure Is Out There pillow from ShopDisney and the Snow White pillow from Primark!
@@MostMagicalGuides thank you! 🙂
@@MostMagicalGuidesgosh, I wish I had a #snowwhite pillow 😍😍😍
Hi , I was thinking of going next March , when in March did you go and I have noticed that the tickets for next March are more expensive for the first week , do you know why tickets are more expensive the first week is it school holidays in France etc ?
Thanks
David 👍🙂👋
March is a great time of year to visit! We went the 23rd March this year. I have seen DLP have raised their prices quite a bit of next year (I think it is because of it being the Olympic year and the reopening of the Disneyland Hotel as well as new shows and parades). But you are totally right that the first week of March is still the school holidays. In France there are three school zones, which all take staggered time off. Where we would have a 2 week break, theirs last 6 because of this! There is a website I used to get the school and public holiday schedule for France so I will link that! publicholidays.fr/school-holidays/
@@MostMagicalGuides Hi , Thank you so much for France school holiday schedule , yes DLP have certainly raised their prices and your right it's because of the Olympics , I wonder if the price increase will remain permanent after the Olympics , do you think merchandise, food and drinks will also increase in price next year ?
Thanks again for all your help
David 👍🙂
@@davidGPS95 I think unfortunately the prices will stay high, unless there is a significant drop in attendance (which we could possibly see in 2025). Disney does tend to increase the prices of food and sometimes merch each year, it doesn't happen at a set time, instead they will just announce it overnight. This year there was a raise a prices in a lot of restaurants so hopefully they may delay doing it again as it was quite a large raise for some and I don't think they could justify another raise in line with that.
@@MostMagicalGuides Hi Sorry to bother you again do you know if Spain and Italy have three school zones like France for their school holidays?
Thanks again 👍
I don't know too much about the Spanish and Italian school holidays so I did a quick look to check and I've found some similar websites that have dates available which is great. Both countries have multiple zones with different holidays dates.
www.holidays-info.com/italy/school-holidays/2024/
publicholidays.es/school-holidays/
I would say that visitor numbers to DLP for Spain and Italy wouldn't massively increase the crowds so I typically just look up UK and French school holidays and try and avoid them.
Hi! Is it cold to go there in end of October? Thanks
Hi! In October the weather tends to be between 9-16 degrees. Sometimes in the mornings or late evenings it can be a bit cold so it is a good idea to take an extra layer with you in your bag for these times of day. October is a great time to visit with all the Halloween festivities!
@@MostMagicalGuides thank you for replying to me. I will be celebrating my 40th there. My birthday is exactly in Halloween, 31Oct. :)
@@charlyoes1175 How incredible! Celebrating your 40th birthday at Disney will be so magical but the fact your birthday is also Halloween is epic! I hope you have the best birthday ever! It is so exciting!
@@MostMagicalGuides your reply made me smile! Thank youu!!!
Is end of feb a good time?
February can be a quieter and cheaper time of year to visit if avoiding the February school holidays. France does have school holidays in three different zones, which tend to all have a break in different weeks, so it is great to check out those dates. But this school break would still be quieter than the summer holidays so it can be a good option!
