My Magical Disneyland Paris Experience
As a lifelong Disney fan, visiting Disneyland Paris was nothing short of a dream come true. Nestled just outside the city of Paris, this enchanting resort seamlessly blends Disney’s signature magic with European elegance, making it a truly unforgettable destination. Here’s a look at my personal experience and why this trip was so special.
A Stay at the Disneyland Hotel
From the moment I stepped into the luxurious Disneyland Hotel, I felt like royalty. The Victorian charm of the hotel, combined with its close proximity to the parks, made every morning feel magical. Waking up to the sight of Sleeping Beauty Castle and knowing the parks were just a few steps away set the perfect tone for each day.
Witnessing Disney Tales of Magic
One of the absolute highlights of my trip was experiencing the opening night of the nighttime spectacular Disney Tales of Magic. Standing in front of the castle, surrounded by friends and fellow Disney enthusiasts, I watched as beloved stories came to life with breathtaking projections, fireworks, and music. It was a moment I’ll never forget.
Celebrating Milestones
This trip was particularly special because I hit a personal milestone: 40K subscribers on YouTube! Sharing this achievement while surrounded by Disney magic and supportive friends made it even more meaningful. It was a reminder of how far this journey has taken me and how much joy Disney brings to my life.
The Magic of Friendship
While the attractions and shows were incredible, what truly made this trip unforgettable was sharing it with friends. Exploring the parks together, laughing over silly moments, and creating memories at every turn added a layer of magic that can’t be replicated. From thrilling rides to quiet moments soaking in the atmosphere, being with loved ones made every experience feel even more special.
Tips for Your Disneyland Paris Adventure
Reflecting on my trip, here are a few tips I’d share for anyone planning their own visit:
- Book Early: Secure your park tickets and hotel reservations well in advance, especially if you’re aiming for a special event or peak season.
- Use the Disneyland Paris App: It’s a lifesaver for checking wait times, navigating the parks, and making the most of your day.
- Pack Smart: Parisian weather can be unpredictable, so bring layers and comfortable shoes for walking.
- Take It All In: Don’t rush from ride to ride. Take time to appreciate the unique details and European touches that make Disneyland Paris so enchanting.
A Magical Blend of Disney and Paris
What makes Disneyland Paris so unique is its proximity to one of the world’s most iconic cities. After spending the day immersed in Disney magic, you can explore the rich culture and history of Paris itself. It’s the perfect blend of fantasy and reality, offering something for everyone.
Final Thoughts
My trip to Disneyland Paris was everything I had hoped for and more. From the stunning shows to the milestone celebrations and the joy of being with friends, it was a journey filled with magic, laughter, and unforgettable memories. If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting, I can promise it’s worth it.
My California Adventure: Club 33, Oogie Boogie Bash & Unplanned Goodbyes
My recent trip to California was nothing short of magical—filled with Disney magic, great friends, and a bit of unexpected change. I stayed at the Anaheim Marriott, which was the perfect hub for everything we had planned.
A Dream Come True: Club 33 & Club 1901
One of the highlights of this trip was experiencing Club 33 in Disneyland with Tonya and Koda. Walking through those secret doors into a world of elegance and exclusivity felt surreal. The ambiance, the food, and the service were truly top-tier.
But the Disney magic didn’t stop there! We also had the privilege of visiting Club 1901 in Disney California Adventure with Tonya, Koda, Ron, and Mariah. I can’t say thank you enough for the invitation to such a wonderful place and sharing this moment with such wonderful friends made it all the more special.
Oogie Boogie Bash: My First Time
I also attended my very first Oogie Boogie Bash—and it was so much fun! The Halloween-themed event was everything I’d hoped for and more, with amazing character interactions, spooky decorations, and a festive atmosphere. It was such a blast to experience the spookiness of the season at Disney, a true bucket-list moment!
A Fun-Filled Ride: The Wheel of Fun
Outside of the Oogie Boogie Bash, one of the best memories from the trip was riding the Wheel of Fun with Ron, Tonya, and Mariah. The laughter, screams, and breathtaking views of the park made for an unforgettable experience that left us not sure if we would ever do it again.
An Unexpected Turn
Unfortunately, I had to cut the trip short. My husband wasn’t feeling well, and I needed to get back home to take care of him. While it was tough to leave, I’m so glad I got to experience the magic of Disney, even if just for a little while.
California was an adventure I’ll never forget, and I can’t wait to go back!
