You see maleficent throughout the castle- because who is sleeping beauty without the evil Queen. We also saw the real maleficent at the park too!!! How awesome is that! Loved seeing the character play Maleficent. It really brought the castle to life!

Additionally, you can climb up to the second floor and walk through an exhibit with cartoon murals and stained glass on the walls.

It also pinned my arms down so I was a little (read a lot**) claustrophobic j the first round and sort of panicking the whole time. Riding a second time to try to enjoy the ride. Definitely WAY MORE intense than our home park (WDW) and the seats are side by side. I believe you go upside down at least once. It does feel shorter than WDW though. The first half of the queue is outdoors so be prepared for a possible rain situation. Thoughts the second time around, I made a conscious effort to make sure the safety restraint wasn't as tight this time around and for the first half of the ride that worked really well for me. Or was not uncomfortable or claustrophobic , nor did it feel unsafe. But because the ride is quite intense, the sheer force of the ride actually pushed the restraint all the way down mid way through and I had the same panicked feeling and I am am only mildly claustrophobic (meaning my main issue is when I feel pinned down-small spaces do not bother me, neither do most roller coaster restraints. This was actually a first for me on any amusement park ride. I think this sensation is added to by the shadow of the seer which is molded to pad your back and neck from turbulence but for me it just added to the panic of "I can't move" While I definitely think it would be so fun if it weren't for that one issue, given the opportunity I would not ride again. There is also two sets of unavoidable stairs in the queue. Just fair warning. The ride itself is very deep, narrow, and low so getting in and out is challenging in a space where you are express to do so quickly.

Phantom Manor is essentially Haunted Mansion but different enough that it felt like they were…read moretrying to avoid copyright infringement. That's not actually the case. From what I read because they changed the music for French audiences and this version is in Frontierland they changed the scope of the ride and felt it needed a different name. In my opinion, Phantom Manor (like most of the rides we rode at Disneyland Paris) was weaker than the original at Disneyland. It does feel slightly longer but from the music to the decor to the doom buggies, everything is just a little less magical. The best parts are the echos of the original. With Premier Pass the ride was walk on (although up a few sets of stairs), so I definitely recommend riding it if you visit, but I would keep my expectations low.

He's a nascence and so is this gold digger bride who can't stop hurting her husbands back to back to back. Crows caw and shutters swing here but let's be honest no one can endure the over caw-ing of a black crow especially after sundown. The halls were warped with swelling and bloated despair and this random 'Gypsy in a bauble' kept on conjouring a ton of issues. 1. a Wedding party where everyone danced but there was no way to get down. 2. A scary attic experience where mirrors and old boxes just got over the top for me - I was triggered too by the weeping bride. no one should be left at a make-up table crying for eternity. 3. there was scary western town that I was forced thru that only had poltergiest based gambling and sad sorrowful prostitutes who sadly had turned kelly green. Must be the lead in the mansions system. We won't book a room here again as this place just gives off heavy sad energy that grim grimming ghosts have obviously come out to socialize.

ADORABLE roller coaster!…read more Very popular attraction! The line got long really quickly. It was an hour wait for us. But this ride is just too cute to pass up! I mean, who doesn't want to ride in a turtle?!?!?! This roller coaster surprised me. It had lots of spins and went faster than I anticipated it would. Still, it was really fun. But maybe not for really young kids? I don't know if they would enjoy it that much since it does go pretty fast. A must see and ride at Walt Disney Studios Park! It is so unique and fun. I can't think of a roller coaster similar to this one. It truly is a one-of-a-kind roller coaster. I loved all the sea animals so much! :)

After some thought, I imagine this coaster is really popular because it's a great kid-friendly…read morecoaster. Personally, I am into big thrill rides, so especially given typical wait times for this ride, I found it over-rated overall. There are much better coasters in both parks. The theming is cute, but it was definitely not thrilling the way that other rides are. For me, I wouldn't wait more than 30 minutes for this ride. So it was perfect that we went there first thing during early access. For this ride, I highly recommend going there first right when early access starts. We only waited 10-15 minutes.

My friend and I were able to experience just about everything we wanted in around 4-5 hours on a Sunday. If you want to optimize time you can definitely pair with Disneyland Park and do a 1 day trip. If you've been to Walt Disney World in Florida, this park feels very similar to Hollywood Studios in both layout and attractions. It has a familiar vibe, especially with the Tower of Terror, which was a childhood favorite of mine. During my mid-June visit, the crowds were surprisingly manageable. The wait times were relatively short all day, and the only ride I used Premier Access for was Tower of Terror, which cost about $12 and was well worth it. One of my favorite areas was Avengers Campus. The atmosphere is fantastic, but I was disappointed to learn that the superhero photo experiences can only be booked through the Disneyland Paris app on the day of your visit. By the time I arrived, every reservation was already gone. I really wish they offered more traditional character meet-and-greet lines or standby photo opportunities for guests who miss out on reservations. Overall, this isn't the best Disney park in the world, but it's still a solid experience that's absolutely worth visiting, especially if you're already making the trip all the way to Paris. Just go in knowing it's a smaller park, and you'll likely have a great time.

I was really intrigued to visit this park when visiting DLP. I feel like the best way I can…read moredescribe it is if Hollywood Studios and Disney's California Adventure had a baby. This park is pretty small, but is about to become a lot larger with the Frozen land opening next year. For now, you'll find Toy Story Land, Avengers Campus, and some favorites like Tower of Terror and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. PLus, some unique rides, like Crush's Coaster (my fave in the park!!) I love the entrance, which is a large, inside area that makes you feel like you are under a starry night sky in Hollywood. This park is literally right next to the entrance of DLP, so it's easy to park hop. You'd probably get everything done in a day here easily, if not sooner. It's good for what it is, but nothing like its neighboring park. I can't wait to see it get even better next year, though!

Of all the lands, Adventureland is generally my favorite because it tends to be Pin Trading central…read moreand Disneyland Paris was no different. I love how there's always one store which has amazing pins, but I did feel like there should have been a 'maker' shop Disneyland California and Tokyo Disney both have where you can make embroidered and personalized items with your name on them. It was also a bit of a bummer for me that Disneyland Paris had no Pooh ride, but Adventureland had the best Pooh merch of all the stores we stopped into, even though you would think Fantasyland would be the place to go. Finally, the pin trading at Disneyland Paris is not to be beat. The pins are amazing, high quality and large, and trading in Adventureland was one of the highlights of our visit. All in all, Adventureland is definitely an area not to be missed if you're visiting Disneyland Paris.

It starts at the beginning of Disneyland in Frontierland and ends there too. This is different from the Disney Railroad at California Disney. The one in California allows you to get off at different stops. So, you can use the railroad as a means of transportation around the park. This is not the case at Disney Paris. We learned that the hard way lol The driver of the train was funny and entertaining. He made jokes along the way that made the ride enjoyable.
