“Experience is a must for children ”

★★★★☆

written by samantha.queen on 06/04/2014

Children must have the magical experience of meeting their favourite characters. No point in taking your child if they are under the age of 2, mostly because they will not get on much and won't remember it. My daughter is 2 and a half and loved every minute of it but with all the walking and long days of overwhelment it did take its toll on her on day 3.

Negatives about the park:


Even if you have a 2 hour pass before the park opens not all the rides or places are opened.

People smoke within the park, so children can easily be burned or inhale smoke. Smoking should be banned with the crowds and it being a public place.

The water fountains are not in operation unless it's summer. So fill up water bottles upon arrival if you don't want to pay 4 euros a go for a bottle.

Gifts are double the price in comparison to the disney store in the UK.

Disney junior shows do not show doc mcstuffins, jake or sofia but advertise that they do. We went 4 times to see if the shows would be different and they weren't.

Characters don't stop to sign or take pictures if they are not meant to be at the bit you see them. So children can be left disappointed.

Waiting in ques does ruin the experience a little.

Better having a meal at cafe Mickey no waiting and get to meet the characters at your table.

If you want a princess you need to be prepared to wait nearly 2 hours in a que or pay 60 euros each for a meal.

French people are rude, well I think it's just they don't know what or how to use manners appropriately.

Certain rides pregnant people are not allowed on.

Make sure you leave the play parks to the end of the day otherwise you won't see the parks.

Certain rides were closed I.e peter pan.

You don't/won't meet all the characters in 1 visit.

They have meeting spots but if the characters wear heavy suits like sully then they do not come out unless it's cold.

If you don't want to pay ridiculous prices for food you can bit the bullet and eat at McDonald's.

There is scanning machines at the entrance so be prepared to wait.
