Had a great time watching you explore my “home” Disney Resort. Always love hearing the first experiences of American fans in Paris! We haven’t gotten much investment in the past, but we do have a beautiful park!
THE WATER BOTTLES!!
Basically, in Europe we keep the screw tops attached so they don't end up in the ocean and go to a landfill with other plastics! so if you come back, don't rip off the lid!! It's for the environment 😊
Also I agree, DLP Park is FANTASTIC 👏👏
Came to say this and that it was a newish development in the last few months 😅
Haha we did not tear off the lid. We thought it was cool and smart!
Actually the European Union has decided that they have to be attached and when you try to put them on, they will leak if you urn upside down.
In part for the environment but also to sell more and that you can’t reuse them…
the only thing is most bottles dont close good again so with milk you need to watch if the air cant go away. other you can throw it away.
Two people saying the lids don't go back on right again and I have literally never had an issue with them. It took some getting used to, but now I'm a big fan of never dropping the lid again xD
at 2:45 fun fact : the huge chandelier with blue lights at the entrance of Adventure Land is a gift offered by Hassan II, King of Morocco, for the opening of DLP in 1992. Which fits perfectly with the Agrabah theming.
Yes, the main DLP park was born with a silver spoon in its mouth. It"s been Michael Eisner's (famous former Disney's CEO 1984-2004) beloved little boy and Roy Disney's too, Walt's nephew. They brought attention to each detail and made it as Walt Disney would have liked.
For instance, the BTM scenery is made with true mining hardware imported from California old mines from the Gold Rush era ...
From a parisian DLP lover. Greets 😜
Disneyland Paris version of Big thunder mountain, is the best one of them all.
I’m usually very critical of Disneyland Paris, but we were in Disneyworld and we saw the lion king’s show 😅 and well… we were shocked to say the least 😂
Just returned from a visit to Disneyland Paris with my daughter, the last time I visited the park I was a teenager and boy it's every bit as magical and beautiful as I remembered. I am so happy that the park survived through all the tough times it's had and is now receiving big investments to both Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios! It was such a magical trip, can't wait to come again soon!
Love your reaction concerning the lion king musical!
We‘ve been to Hamburg to the official stage musical and were deeply disappointed.
In DLP I got goosebumps and nearly a little tear in the eyes, beautiful. The kids were totally overwhelmed. I managed to enjoy and film a little bit.
Would you recommend to go to WDW, hope it tops DLP?
The Arcades of Disneyland Paris are an homage to the passages, or iron and glass-covered shopping arcades, which were introduced in Paris in the late 18th century and reached a fever pitch of popularity in the 1830s. Boasting a variety of shops with window displays of luxury goods, the passages were often located near theaters and also offered restaurants and cafés.
Arcade: a covered passage with arches along one or both sides.
It’s amazing to have in the park!
we have a ton of them in London, they basically like mini shopping malls. We call them shopping arcades.. they usually very ornate and beautiful. very good for rainy weather, like london always delivers ;)
I miss Indiana Jones being backwards, that was an interesting period of time and even scarier.
What a lovely park. We love Big Thunder. It’s the best mountain! Can’t wait to visit and ride it.
You’ll love it!
Duuuuude - now that’s a Lion King show!!!! Makes WDW’s totally outdated and look like it’s stuck in the 90’s/early 2000s 😆
That Lion King park show, oh wow, much better than the one stateside - and gets extra points for using the score from the Broadway show, some beautiful beautiful numbers.
They used to have Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show. That was AMAZING
Show + dinner
We went to Disneyland Paris in 1993 and have been going back every few years since. Space Mountain used to hold you in the "gun", the music used to build, there was a massive boom that could be heard all over the park and smoke would come out of the side door you mentioned. It had the most amazing music too. I heard a rumour that it was going back to the original Jules Verne theming, that would be great!
@RaphyOvertheWorld spotted at 23:50 👀
I’ve really been enjoying your DLP series while my family is trying to figure out if we want to go to Paris! Thanks for the coverage on this amazing resort!
It’s so worth the visit! Thanks for watching!
If you plan to stay more than one day, I absolutely recommend Newport Bay club hotel if you can afford it. It's huge and it's not too far from the Disney village entrance 👍 and the breakfast is delicious 😄
Coming from Austria, the so called "food" in Disneyland Paris is the major critique point that I have.
That junk doesn't even deserve to be called food. It tastet like cardboard and styrofoam with a lot of fat and sugar.
I don't believe that the French appreciate that junk food. I think it would be best if Disney wouldn't run the restaurants on their own but to lease the places out to someone who knows how to cook. That would improve Eurodisney about 300%.
"The Old Mill" is on of Disney's first animations where they tested various visual effects, like water movement, it's a beautiful classic... ❤ see if you can find it 😊 "drip, drip, drop little April showers.... " so lovely 🎉
And yes.... a very emotional show at/on the castle.... omg!
Your enthusiasm is so lovely!
Your trip was amazing to watch and that you had the chance to visit Disneyland Paris
Im so glad you’re loving DLP ❤ I also had a similar feeling when I first went, and it’s my second favorite park (behind the original Disneyland in CA). I feel like DLP gets a bad rep sometimes but the attention to detail around the park and the rides just being a bit more intense make it so magical for me!
Thank you! I look forward to going to Disneyland Paris it looks amazing!
A thing I heard from legendary imagineers : Disneyland Paris is the Disneyland Walt Disney and his team wants. We have the ultimate original version of Haunted mansion, pirates of Caribbean, big thunder mountain, main street, small world... According to some people, Walt Disney would have loved our park
I think he would have loved Japan much more!
And anyways, since everything got much more expensive in Paris since natascha took over the management, I’m sure Walt Disney wouldn’t agree.
His idea was a park for everyone, not only the rich!
Pirates des Caraïbe is stunning…I remember riding it back in 2015, i found it so spooky yet beautiful
great vlog, and you did so much to say you only got there at 1pm.
Loved the series of you in Paris! You have to come back to studio's when it's done because before the construction work started it was a very nice place to be with very good food.
We’re definitely planning on returning when Studios is all done!
We lived in Europe from 2015-2019 and enjoyed DLP every year. BTM is the best at DLP. Go back in the winter.
You will have to try Walt’s restaurant next time.
Europa park is a must try in Germany.
Walt’s is on our list for next time!
We will have to check out that Lion King show when we visit in the fall! Thanks for the tips!
Wonderful. thanks for showing us. We have learned so much from your trip. 👍
Awesome video!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! I wish our Haunted Mansion was actually scary!!!
This one definitely had the creep factor!
CAFE AGRABAH!!! It's more Mediterranean than Indian in cuisine, but it's my favorite buffet. And Indiana Jones is THE WORST. At least Cars Road Trip has Cars-tastrophe Canyon! There's nothing redeeming about Indiana Jones! I'm so glad you got to go on BTMRR! It was always down when we were heading over. DLP has the best version of a lot of my favourite attractions, and Big Thunder is one of those! Boot Hill is stellar, and I'm SO glad you stumbled upon it! It is SUCH an incredible hidden gem at DLP. And their Pirates is my favourite of the western parks too! Red here is how I see her best. The muscle behind the overly blathering Captain! She's earned her respect!
Someone mentioned that DLP has the most beautiful unmonetized spaces. From the castle with the dragon, to the Arcades, to the Nautilus, to the nuance and detail of EVERY LAND, it's so incredible.
Loved the vlog. We have been to Dlp 4 times now and I loved seeing it from your first time American viewpoint. Big thunder is the best rollercoaster in the world to us. Nothing beats it. 🎉 hopefully we’ll get to experience WDW one day
The Lion King show looks awesome.🎉😮😊
I'm getting more and more Excited for this park and Paris!!!✈🙌🏿👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽😊👍🏼💙💚🐲
You’ll love it when you visit!
I LOVE Big Thunder Mountain in Disneyland Paris. I am glad you made a full ride film in your video . Thanks! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just got back from there yesterday. Agrabah was hands down the best food in the park for us. I like it better than Boma here.
We’re definitely going to try it next time we visit!
glad you posted today!! Great video as usual.
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy!
Oh my gosh I loved this video and phantom manor is so cool 😊
It’s my new favorite Disney attraction!
You missed in the left hand arcade a tribute to the statue of liberty.
We have a few shopping arcades in my town in the uk in real life they are basically like a covered street typically they are old and small and normally have multiple shops
Looks like Captain Hook & Mr. Smee is also part of the Pirates of The Caribbean ride, at Disneyland Paris too. 41:33
All I can think of is "totally " think of the turtle from Finding Nemo. His voice. It was such a totally wonderful video of a great place to go and have a great time.
We have stricter regulations in Europe than you Americans have. So you dont have to worry about the safety of Indiana Jones rollercoaster!
I realy love Disneyland Paris. It is such a beautiful Park ❤ But i am pretty sure the US parks have much more and better rides. But guys please stop comparing the parks like it was a competition. Every park is unique and has its higlights.
I live in europe, so Paris is my homepark. I realy love it but of course i would also love to see the US parks ❤
It’s not a competition but there are many things I like about Paris over any of the domestic parks here!
After reading your title to this video, all I can say is wait until you visit the Tokyo Disney Resort.
We have visited both American parks and Hong Kong Disneyland besides Disneyland Paris. The Magic Kingdom in Paris is the prettiest for us, Florida obviously beats the other parks as far as size and variation is concerned.
The Indiana Jones rollercoaster looks like something you find at a county fair with those thin tracks. Yikes!
It’s SO RICKETY! 🫨
@@ThemeParkExpress you guys need to watch Indiana Jones movie 2, that's actually very accurate 😂
As I understand, that coaster was a temporary solution, expected to be replaced with a proper ride - if you look at aerial photos, Indiana Jones sits in the middle of a massive future expansion plot that sadly just hasn't gotten the investment needed yet.
Great video! :)
I like roller coasters in the dark - it makes even the smallest drops more intense as you can't see them before they happen 28:54
I love your reaction to everything at DLP. Also, do you know any French? You seemed solid on the basic pronunciation, which most US vloggers struggle with.
You shouldn't be worried about the lactose, even on milk based products, because most of long maturing cheeses naturally don't have it due to the chemical process. So safe for you! What do you think about the food at DLP? People in general complain, that it's very overpriced fast food, and on the other hand the parks in US attract food lovers. What's your take on that ? I feel like at DLP especially drinks and deserts are more on lazy side of preparation and they are not so much thematised.
You should visit Europa Park I bet you'll like it more then any Disney Park!
Fun video!! I'm heading there in March- so beyond excited!!! Will you have any hotel vlogs? Where did you stay? Thanks for the video!
Sadly no hotel vlogs but we stayed at Santa Fe and we DO NOT recommend it
The hotels don’t meet the standards of us (aircon, friendly staff etc.)
But sequoia is the best budget option, Disneyland hotel if you have no budget (very expensive) and Marvel in between.
Oh no! Sounds like your experience was not good 😏 Bummer..!
Planning to go back to DLP with my partner after nearly 30 years (I went as a teen shortly after it opened) - what would you recommend to do after 'dinner time' in the park to fill the 'gap' until the projection/drone/fireworks show? I think the last shows start at like 7pm, right? We're not huge on rides, and will have done most already in the morning, when bellies are empty 😅
DLP does/has quite a few things better than DL or WDW. The arcades are a great way to get to the rest of the park around a crowded Main Street. Personally I think Adventureland and Frontierland are top notch. Love the interwoven story of HM and BTMR. Pirates is great, so is the Skull Rock walking area. Alice in Wonderland "maze" and Streets of Agribah are also great. On the flip side: Tomorrowland feels small. This could be because when we were there last year, the Nautilus ride was close? The food wasn't nearly as good as what you can find in DL or WDW. In France no less! That was a letdown. I did enjoy our hotel (Sequoia) but the hallways can be LONG. Studios was truly a half park but I'm excited for what the updates will bring over the next 3-5 years. I had heard rumors of a Star Wars land there, possibly Lion King as well. Either way, I think there's plans after Frozen land to continue expanding it. Which is good overall.
The park itself isn’t perfect but I think I’d enjoy frequenting this park rather than MK or DL
@@ThemeParkExpress certain times of the year it’s cheaper as well! Priced out airfare and park stay for my wife and I. Around $3300 for 4 nights! With directly flights from Chicago to Paris too!
❤❤❤❤
unless you decide to eat at a sit down restaurant, DLP food is just regular amusent park food. And its just our european mentality. Disney is a kids park, it caters to children, not adults. If you want an adult exoerience, you go to the fancy sitdown places were kids tend to be more picky and might not eat the food (used to happen a lot in the 90s and early 2000s).
Paris was a bit of culinary letdown in general. And not just at Disney. I think Parisians are still trading on a very old reputation. And haven’t done much to up their game in the face of fierce competition from other cities both inside and outside of France.
Croque monsieur is one of my favorite dish. The cheese on top is mixed with béchamel which makes it tasted so good.
your videos are wonderful! new subscriber! :)
For a few years in the early 2000s, The Indiana Jones rollercoaster ran backwards. Did you check out the dragon underneath the castle? If not, make sure you can next time you go. Agree that the new Star Wars ride on Space Mountain at DLP makes no sense. The original theming was based on Jules Verne’s "De la Terre à la Lune," where your "rocket" gets shot out of a cannon.
o the bottle thing with the cap is a new thing in europe and they need to do it other they cant sell there bottles
Arcades are very popular in the UK. Love your vlogs. Wish some of that was at WDW.
What was the weird burrito looking thing that you said tasted different? I'm very curious to know.
I rode the indy ride nearly 30 years ago and it went forwards and then backwards, extremely scary. Not sure if it still goes backwards.
Great series. Did you do buzz light year? Much better at DLP that Orlando. In fact I think almost all like for like rides are better in Paris.
Thank you for sharing. 🎉
Aladdin walk in is like sleeping beauty walk in, in thecastle in California
There’s nothing unique about arcades in Europe, not just in Disney but in general. Makes sense when you consider the climate we have 90% of the year! Always need somewhere to dip inside!
We have those bottle caps in the UK too. Super annoying. Meant to stop people throwing the cap away so it gets recycled with the bottle.
It's a decent park shame about the other one even after the future expansions
Thanks for sharing. Looks beautiful.
Thanks for watching!
Hope you can stay at the fancy hotel next time.
I’d like to see all the hotel choices.
The new bottle caps are so annoying 😂😩. We have them in the UK as well as
Germany as well
Wow. I had 4 days there and completely missed half the stuff over near pirates. (And possibly the time before that). The skull rock walk though looks cool. I did like the walk up to the tree. Great view. DLP has so many great viewpoints that don’t cost extra.
Oh I skipped Indiana Jones on my latest trip. It is unpleasant. I also had my head banging on hyperspace mountain and avengers. But they were more fun.
Big Thunder is definitely my favourite ride at DLP. Phantom Manor is the only one I’ve ridden in original non nightmare before Christmas form. Looking forward to seeing the US originals someday.
Very jealous you got to ride pirates. It was closed both times I was there.
Space Mountain is definitely a confused theming. They either need to cover up the older stuff (temporarily if required) or just do a complete retheme…and pick 1
Next time you need to see the Pixar show. It’s sooo good I saw it twice.
Question-when you film shows like the Lion King are you able to black out your display screen so it’s not distracting to those around you?
You totally missed out on Buzz!!! Its a Million times better then the mk one … i was so extremely disappointed when i rode it… Together you need to see too plus Dream Factory… DLP really knows how to do Shows. The Walkway in the castle…
Very beautiful castle
It really is!
Hello if you r still around paris you should visit ( château de la Roche Guyon )
Is the dragon still under the castle?
Hey man long time no see lol, hope your doing good
How bummed was Koda she didn't come on this trip 😢 also how much were tickets each day? Cheaper than USA?
29:47
"une descente assez décente" la traduction automatique fait un jeu de mot involontaire...!
😅
Marineland in Niagara Falls, ON has a very bumpy, rickety roller coaster in Dragon Mountain. The owner of the park died recently and the park probably will too but I hope it reopens as a theme park rather than an animal attraction. I wonder which coaster is more bumpy. It really is hard imagining a rougher ride than Dragon Mountain. It was my daughter's first coaster and I'm having a hard time convincing her that most coasters aren't like that and are much more fun. Where we live we don't really have access to theme parks. The local fair with it's kiddie coaster is our only option and that is once a year.
And it's so amazing you got to go onto Pirates after all! How fortunate!
Oh my. Yeah that sounds rough. A lot of coasters are glass smooth but sadly this one is not
Great and useful video as usual.
Thanks so much!
how long was the lion king show?
Do you ever go to Japan and do their Disney parks?
We have an arcade in Ann Arbor, Michigan. :)
Yesss you got it on potc
Wr had annual passes for DLP back in 2018 (live 2 hrs away by plane). Gorgeous park , shame about the food
The Pirate Galleon (ship) hasn't been open in YEARS. I have amazing memories from when I was a kid standing at that wheel. I wonder if they'll ever refurb it and open it back up (it's still listed as a closed attraction) or if they'll just let it be like this in fear of what people these days might do to it.
Without any disrespect or digs meant, here in Europe they're really strict about what can be added into our food. So whereas in the US they might add a ton of stuff to create the flavor/look, in Europe we're 'stuck' with the actual ingredients. So what happens for a lot of USians when they come here, is they think our food tastes incredibly bland, which is only due to the lack of chemical (not sure if the right word) stuff. (this also works the other way, of course, plenty of Europeans go to the US and prefer the food there). So that might be an explanation as to why the vanilla ice cream tastes differently. I say might, because I haven't had it so I can't say if it tastes like other vanilla ice creams here, haha!
We have a Premier Access Ultimate as well, which is crazy expensive and gets you all rides you can buy separately (save for Orbitron for some reason) without return times, you can just rock up. Problem is, the Ultimate covers both parks so it's a waste of money if you're only doing one park AND for a bunch of the rides included, it's not worth paying for due to low queue times. For example, the Cars Road Tours is in there. And Flight Force. So I always recommend people just pay as they go if they feel like Premier Access is helpful to them on their trip. Save your money! Also if others are reading this, for shows usually showing up about 30-45 minutes before show time is enough, unless it's really super crowded.
Aaaaahhh I'm so glad to see Raphael still does guest flow for this show! It's where I first saw him, he was standing next to our seats doing the entire choreography from his spot, haha! He's a DLP legend! (he's the one with the rainbow ears at 23:38)
I have ridden Pirates SO OFTEN and my heart still breaks every. single. time. at the kitties!
Apparently, the square shaped trees also 'spell out' the music notes for the Sleeping Beauty Waltz!
ALL HAIL THE CROQUE MONSIEUR
it is 1:15am, I wrote way too long a comment again asdfhjkasg but yeah thank you so much for sharing these! Can't wait for you to come back! Would love to run into you! Anyways, you got my subscribe and my follow on IG! (disabledisney)
How's the weight loss going?
gladly they will retheme hyperspace quite soon.
but rough? its a almost 30 year old coaster, and that given its still smoother than recent new coasters across the world.
It’s rougher than some but smooth compared to Indy haha!
The roughest coaster I have ever been on is the GhostRider at Knotts Bery Farm, it’s the only coaster I will say no to 🤣 the first time back on it as an adult I thought I was about to have a final destination 3 moment it was so rickety! 13:48
Have you ever been to Knotts while visiting California?
Surprises me what people say on Indiana Jones in DLP never find it that bad just short and fun. No where near as bad as Space Mountain in Florida 😮 that is terrible for me. Dunno if coz I’m 6,2 but that ride needs complete overhaul I hate it feels so uncomfortable. Only go on it with wife for nostalgia when in Florida
So glad to see the praise for Lion King Paris truly amazing. Not been to parks in Asia where I hear ride and attractions are next level but this is awesome in Paris
I think SM in Florida is way more tame and less painful than Indy in Paris haha!
I wish DW had more walk through attractions.
They’re quite nice!
I think Disneyland Paris has the most beautiful castle. And I find the Big Thunder Railroad fascinating. But it's not my favorite Disney park and I don't think it's the best.
Did you find the parks in Paris a lot smaller than each of the Disney world parks in Florida? We did a day at each park in Paris and found it was enough for us. Would love to hear your opinion 😊
Btm was my moms favorite ride
Especialy that intense last part did you see the bats?
I don’t believe I noticed the bats. I saw glowing eyes tho!
Have you ever watched Behind the Attractions on disney+? Highly recommend!
Nice
We have the best thunder mountain
