Morning

Check into your hotel at Disneyland Paris. There are several options to choose from, including Disney's Hotel Cheyenne, Disney's Hotel Santa Fe, and Disney's Sequoia Lodge.
Head to Walt Disney Studios Park and start your day with the thrilling Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride. Plunge into the depths of the hotel's haunted elevator shaft and experience spine-tingling drops and surprises. Beware the little girl who haunts the space!
Next, ride the Ratatouille: The Adventure ride, a 4D experience that takes you on a wild ride through the kitchen of Gusteau's restaurant. This one is ideal if you have kids, but not for the toddlers!

Afternoon

Have lunch at the Bistrot Chez Rémy restaurant, an idyllic Parisian bistro, located near the Ratatouille ride.
Experience Crush's Coaster and get ready to be thrown about, as the Finding Nemo ride takes you through twists, turns, and inversions that mimic the current of the Great Barrier Reef.
Next, experience the thrilling RC Racer ride, which takes you on a high-speed ride on a toy car.

Head back to Paris for your cruise on the Seine as you get to spot iconic landmarks in Paris, including Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tour.

Evening

Once back in Paris, wander over to Port de la Bourdonnais, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, to set off on your hour-long cruise along the Seine. Cruise (literally) past iconic monuments like the Assemblee Nationale, Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France, Pantheon, Cite de la Mode, Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame, Conciergerie, in addition to the stunning bridges built across the river. With the help of an audioguide, you won’t miss out on any information. Don’t be afraid to head to the open-air spaces on the boat to soak in the Parisian atmosphere.
If you prefer to do this the next morning, your flexible ticket allows you to board the cruise anytime you’d like during the day within the operating hours. So, if Disneyland has tired you out a bit, then take it easy, and return the next day!

Welcome to my world of ink and adventure, where words meet wanderlust. A seasoned writer and editor, I fully believe that the pen is mightier than the sword. If I were given three wishes, one would definitely be to have the ability to travel - in time, dimension and places! Basically, I want a TARDIS! Of the 40 countries I've visited, Jordan, Japan, Italy and Croatia are my top favourite. London, having lived there, will always have my love, but Nepal and India have my soul! I love adventure (I'm from the mountains, what did you expect!), sports, music and food, so I travel to catch concerts, matches and races. I mostly write about off-beat travel, local experiences, best shopping spots, travel guides and coffee shops. Basically, give me coffee, a book, adventures and an enchanted forest, and you'll never hear me complain.
