Eurodisney

Eurodisney doesn't need any presentations.
Everybody has already heard something about this Parisien theme park that enchants both grownups and children.
It's a world appart that everyone dreams of going someday in they're lives.
Being the first or just one more time that you're going to Disneyland Paris here are some tips for you.


Getting to Eurodisney it's not very difficult, although the park is not in Paris as everybody thinks it is. It's in Marne-la-Vallee, a town situated about 40km from Paris centre.

If you're already in Paris and thinking of going by train the best solution is going through Gare du Nord, one of the biggest and the most central station of Paris that contains many trains to various destinations, including the TGV to London.

The train ticket between zones 1 (Paris centre) and 5 (Marne-la-Vallee/Chessy) costs about 12.30€ and it's called Mobilis as it doesn't have travel limits for that day.
The trip takes about 50 minutes but it has the compensation of stopping right in front of Eurodisney. Just go up the stairs and welcome to the enchanted world.

If you're thinking of going by car think twice as it can be very tricky to get out of Paris center and at the same time you're wasting precious minutes in the company of your favourite Disney characters.
However there are many informations of how to get to your destination.

The ticket to Eurodisney for 1 day costs 47€ - adult ticket and 38€ for childrens between ages 3 and 11.
The ticket for 3 days for an adult costs 126€ and for childrens beteween 3 and 11 years old 104€.
The tickets can be bought online.
Don't think of buying at the door as for sure you're going to find a huge line.
You can also buy the ticket in some stores in Paris as you can find it cheaper then buying it online but if you don't know the town very well it's better to buy it online.



Next to the main park there's another one, the Walt Disney Studios
But if you only have one day to visit this magic world then choose the main one.
However if you're planning an extended trip then go take a tour to the Walt Disney Studio, but pay attention that you need another ticket that you have to buy in separate.

Eurodisney is open everyday between 9am and 8pm, depending on the time of the year.
If you'd like to know the schedulle of the parks to a specific day check the calendar.



The main park is divided in 5 themes: Aventure Land where you can climb a huge tree house, sail by the Pirates of the Caribbean seas or experiment the exciting Indiana Jones russian mountain; Frontier Land where you can get to know Pocahontas village, travel in a vapor boat and get to know the corners of the old faroest; Fantasy Land where you can live the disney fairytales and get to know the Sleeping Beauty Castel; Discovery Land where you can travel in a rocket in the dark, where you can travel in time and space or watch a 3 dimensions movie where a dog will sneeze right on your face; and the Main Street U.S.A, a main square designed in an old victorian style where you can buy all the souvenirs that you want and even go around in an electric car.


When you enter is given to you a map in a way not to get lost and to better plan your day at Eurodisney.
All the diversions are included in the price of the ticket, once you're inside you won't pay any ride and you can repeat it as any times as you want.
The main problem of the park are the gigantic lines that some of the attractions can gather.
It's almost impossible to know the all park in just one day but if you plan your day very well and if you don't stop for lunch (bring your own snacks and sadwiches and stop to eat for about 15 minutes) you can pretty much know the park very well.
A meal for 2 can be made for about 12€ but you loose too much time in line.

Try to stay away from Eurodisney on wednesdays as the french kids don't have classes on that day of the week and the lines on that that can be bigger then on other days.
The characters that we grew up with can be seen on the park but if you don't want to be looking for them in the map that is given to you in the entrance says the times and places that they are so you can take a picture with them or even, if you buy it on the Main Street, a little autograph book where you can ask them to sign it for you.



Everyday at 4pm takes place the Fenomenal Parade with alegoric cars, dancers and all the characters that you have misses.
During the 60 minutes it's almost impossible to loose it as it goes around all the park and with loud music and an impressive animation.
It's a lovely show worth watching.
