Today my younger brother (16) and I adventured out to Disneyland. Being our first time I guess you could say we had high expectations - after all Disneyland is every kids dream.
We purchased our tickets online through Paris City Vision as they provided transport to and from the park. For those you do not know Disneyland is located at Marne-la-Vallée, 32 kilometers east of Paris, which is approximately a 50 minute drive. Our bus departed from Paris City Vision's office at 8am and returned to the office at 8:30pm. Upon check in at 7:30am we were given all the required information and tickets for our return bus later that evening. Disneyland does not officially open until 10am so we found ourselves at the park an hour early which we were not overly thrilled about. We brought a 1 park pass for 1 day however in hindsight we should have spent the extra 10 euro for the 2 park pass as by 2pm we were bored. Do not get me wrong, Disneyland is great however it's main audience is children under 14 and being 16 & 19 there were not enough thrill rides to keep us going all day. Food is another issue at Disneyland - I would recommend packing lunch and snacks as everything was so expensive and the food is mainly fast food.
A downside with Paris City Vision is they only provide one pick up time this being 7pm. This makes the trip a very long day especially for the young ones. I would recommend trying to find a company that provides a service at 5pm as well as 7pm for those customers who would like to return earlier. Whilst there is a train station located at Disneyland, I would not recommend trying to find your way home this way unless you understand French or you are familiar with the Metro system. Trains in Paris are very confusing and the French do not provide much assistance - even if they know English some will choose not to speak it. Our bus also took an hour and a half to return back to Paris due to traffic.
