by Sheila Hendrick

Here at Abbey Travel we have been sending families to Disneyland Paris for over 20 years (and going ourselves!). So we have lots of experience to share with first timers.

Read on to find out our top 10 tips...

1. FASTPASS

This FREE service allows you spend less time queuing and more time having fun.

2. Extra Magic Hours

When you book a package in a Disney Hotel, you can enjoy extra time and magic in the Disneyland Park on certain days! Specific areas will be available up to 2 hours before regular park opening so you can enjoy easier access to selected attractions, even some of the most popular ones. It’s time to party! On certain dates, Walt Disney Studios Park may be added or may replace Disneyland Park.

3. Parades

Don’t miss the Parades such as Disney Magic on Parade in Disneyland Park & Disney's Stars 'n Cars in Walt Disney Studio Park.

4. Not to be missed
