Why you should go to Disneyland Paris in 2019?

2019 is a bit of a weird year for Disneyland Paris. As you may already know, Disneyland Paris (well, Walt Disney Studios technically, is undergoing a 2 billion euro expansion. In addition, Disney has recently amended a deal with the French authorities to gain an additional 200+ hectares of land thus the potential to build a third theme park. Naturally, with so much building and planning work in the horizon, certain rides and attractions are going to have to close (RIP Art of Disney Animation, you will be missed), combine this with a certain term beginning with B and rhyming with exit and you can understand why some people might be hanging fire.

So should you go to Disneyland Paris in 2019? Let's look at some reasons why you should.

You should go because of free food:

If you book your trip (that means paying the 15% deposit) by February 11th, you and the rest of your party will be entitled to free food. This free food element is based on the half-board Disney Meal Plan with you being entitled to either the standard, plus or premium level according to your hotel of choice.

Of course, like all Disney offers, there are some pitfalls that you will need to avoid. These include having to budget a meal on your first/last day depending on arrival/departure times and the fact that you may have to upgrade your counter-service breakfast to a buffet one at your hotel, especially if you hate eggs. If you want a full breakdown on how this actually works in practicality, you can read my guide to the free Disney meal plan here.

You should go because there is a festival all the time now

Whether your potty about princesses, a true Star Wars nerd or bonkers about Baloo, there is now a Disneyland Paris to cater to your needs and whims. In fact, there are often times where numerous festivals happen in tandems, such as the Season of the Force and the Princesses and Pirates festival.

Of course, that's not forgetting iconic celebrations such as Christmas, Bonfire night, Halloween and for the first time ever, Pride on June 1st.

Let's just call 2019, the year that Disneyland Paris got its party ON!

Overall, if you fancy a party atmosphere it might be worth booking a trip this year, especially given the frequent offers and free food. Rest assured that I will still be talking about the Disney magic. Oh yeah, that reminds me, I have a new project coming in December and I can't wait to announce it on the official Facebook Page in November.

Until next time make a wish and lick your lips,

Cowboy Cookout Barbecue

Fact-file: Location: Frontierland/Disneyland Park Type of restaurant: Counter Service. Cost: 13-16 euro for an adult combo meal, 9 euro for a children's meal and 6 euro for a coffee break. Option to reserve a table: No. Character Dining: No. There is one counter service in Disneyland Park that is leaps and bounds above the rest. One that has some of the BEST food in the whole park for really good value. This honour belongs to Cowboy Cookout Barbecue . There are many reasons why I have a soft spot for this place. Firstly, it's atmosphere is one of, if not the best counter service in Disneyland Paris. It's a good old fashioned western barn on the outside and the inside is adorned with wooden chairs and benches. Cowboy Cookout looks amazing. I challenge anybody who says otherwise.

Top 5 Disneyland Paris Hotels

Regardless of Disney park, there will be a variety of themed hotels, each one a different experience and price. So which Disneyland Paris hotel should you spend your hard earned cash on? Well, this is where I come in. Firstly a couple of ground rules: I will be leaving out Hotel New York and Disneyland Hotel. This is because I haven't stayed at either hotel and it would be unfair to judge a hotel that I haven't stayed in. These are the 5 main Disney hotels apart from the two mentioned ONLY. I won't be ranking any of the partner hotels or the new Les Villages Nature Paris. Non of these of these hotels are BAD per say, consider the hotels further down the list to be less good as opposed to awful. Finally, this is my opinion. You are welcome to agree/disagree. So without further ado... 5. Hotel Santa Fe Themed around the average Pixar film Cars , Hotel Santa Fe is at the bottom of this list because it does one thing that the other hotels don't. It makes...

McDonalds (yes I'm reviewing it).

Fact-File Location: Disney Village Type of Restaurant: Counter Service Cost: 8-10 euro for an adult meal with a dessert. 5 euro for a children's meal. Option to reserve a table: No Character dining: No. Well what can I say? I decided to review McDonalds today but this isn't a normal maccies. It's a magical McDonalds at Disneyland. Well... it's not actually THAT magical. This restaurant is one of the least themed in the whole of the resort, in-fact for the large majority of you who have visited a McDonalds at least once in your life, this place will be very similar, if slightly larger and more French. Picture Source: Disneyland Paris That being said, with the name like McDonalds, there are some things you can trust. Firstly, you can expect your favourite dishes such as chicken nuggets, Big Macs, Fillet O Fish (although they call it the original name of McFish here) and McFlurry ice-creams. For breakfast, you can expect things like pancakes and McMuf...
