DISNEYLAND PARIS: Top tips from my recent trip...
- Stay on-site to benefit from early park access.
- Make use of every minute of the early park access! It's the best way to avoid the crowds and do your favourite rides with very short queues, without paying for premier access.
- Plan to watch shows or a movie during the middle of the day when queues for rides are long and your feet might need a break.
- If you are not purchasing a spot in a preferred viewing area for fireworks, try to secure a good spot at least an hour before the show starts.
- For a good spot to watch fireworks with small children, I would suggest trying to secure a spot against a garden fence, with the garden in front of you as you face the castle. That way you secure an open space in front of your little people to have an unobstructed view of the show without the need to lift them up.
- Pre-book any special restaurants if you don't want to be disappointed with availability, especially during busy periods such as school holidays.

For more advice or to book your next Disney adventure, please feel free to get in touch.

I had the pleasure of seeing the underwater suite at Atlantis The Palm with my recent site inspection. What an amazing room!!!! Just stunning! 🐟 🐠 🦈 The room has a massive lounge area upstairs above water level, full kitchen, butler service, a kids room, and the main room with ensuite bathroom under water with stunning views of the fish. The windows are one-way windows...from inside the tank it's a mirror. So you could enjoy a bath with a view if you can get your head around that fact 😆. #dubai #atlantisthepalm #luxurytravel #familyholiday

BREAKING NEWS...More availability added for Lapland during Dec 2024!!! Stay in a stunning Aurora glass-roof suite with ensuite sauna (can accommodate up to 5) and watch the Northern Lights from your very own room.
