Hallowe'en at Disneyland Paris
My very first Disneyland Paris visit was during October 2018, and Hallowe’en was in full swing! October is a great time to visit, the weather is perfect for strolling around the resort as it isn’t as hot as the summer and not as cold as the winter. The parks are decorated for the season, with special entertainment and snacks available. Disneyland Paris crowds are influenced by school holidays…

Our Year of Disneyland Paris Annual Passes
We’d been averaging one Disneyland Paris visit a year, but we loved the idea of getting annual passes and going more often. Then when we looked at the cost of going back to Walt Disney World in 2023, we realised we could get a 7 night Mediterranean cruise on the Disney Dream and annual passes for DLP for basically the same price! We have the benefit of our local airport offering direct Easyjet…

Remy Champagne Brunch - Disney Dream - August 2024
Remy Champagne Brunch On the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, there are two adult-only dining restaurants, Palo and Remy. Palo is also on the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, and we had the chance to try Palo brunch on our first ever cruise onboard the Magic. Palo is upscale Italian dining, inspired by the first two ships being built in Italy, and having loved our meal there we were really keen…

Disney Dream - 3 Night Belgium Cruise - August 2024 - Day 4 - Debarkation
Day 4 – Debarkation All too soon, it was our last morning. We woke at 7am and packed the last of our things into our cases. After one last look at the view from the verandah, it was time for breakfast. Cabanas was serving from 6:30am-8:30am, but as we were on late dining we had been allocated an 8am breakfast at Royal Palace. The debarkation breakfast is a more limited menu than on other…

Disney Dream - 3 Night Belgium Cruise - August 2024 - Pre-Cruise Planning
Introduction Back to the Disney Dream! This is cruise number three, our second on the Dream… but it’s actually the fifth cruise we booked.

Placeholders give 10% off your next sailing, but you have to…

Switzerland/France 2024 - Part 10 - Disneyland Paris and Travel Home
Day 10 – Travelling home from Disneyland Paris It’s the last day of the trip! We checked out of the ibis Marne la Vallée Val d’Europe, and were able to leave our luggage in their storage room for free, which is great as this isn’t listed on their website. We’d investigated storage options as we had a late flight and wanted to make the most of our last day at the parks. Disneyland Paris has…

Switzerland/France 2024 - Part 9 - Disneyland Paris
Day 9 – Second day at Disneyland Paris This morning we started with breakfast at Earl of Sandwich in Disney Village. This is one of our go-to spots for a quick and tasty meal. I had the Earl’s Club and a coffee, while Rhys had the Cannonballs and a tea. Aside from tasting good, the price is lower than the quick service locations in the parks. While this morning it was quiet, the line can get…

Switzerland/France 2024 - Part 8 - Tuesday at Disneyland Paris
Day 8 – Our first full day at Disneyland Paris After a good night’s sleep at the ibis Marne la Vallée Val d’Europe, we hopped on the RER train one stop to Marne la Vallée / Chessy. Breakfast was at Brasserie Rosalie which opened last year in Disney Village and has become a firm favourite. At their takeaway window, Le Comptoir, breakfast is €4,50 for a coffee and either a croissant or a pain au…

Switzerland/France 2024 - Part 7 - Strasbourg to Disneyland Paris
Day 7 – Travelling from Strasbourg to Disneyland Paris As our hotel was directly across from the station, we were able to have a slow start to the day. The train from Strasbourg to Marne-la-Vallée / Chessy station is about two and a half hours, and they’re fairly regular. We used the SNCF website to book tickets for the 10:01 train which was scheduled to arrive at 12:27, and used the digital…

Switzerland/France 2024 - Part 5 - Zermatt to Strasbourg
Day 5 – Travel from Zermatt to Strasbourg As I mentioned yesterday, today we’re travelling to Strasbourg, with changes at Visp and Basel. Our original train was the 9:37 from Zermatt, arriving in Visp 10:46, and giving us 11 minutes until the 10:57 Visp to Basel. Everything that I’d read suggested that connection was plenty of time… until flooding meant that we could only take the train from…

Switzerland/France 2024 - Part 4 - Gornergrat, Zermatt
Day 4 – Gornergrat, Zermatt Another day with great weather! Like yesterday, we had a plan for what we wanted to do today but kept it flexible in case the weather didn’t cooperate. Today we planned to take the cogwheel railway up the Gornergrat. After breakfast at our hotel, we headed to the Gornergrat Bahn station, which is just across from the main train station. We bought return tickets at…

Switzerland/France 2024 - Part 3 - Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, Zermatt
Day 3 – Matterhorn Glacier Paradise When we were planning this trip, a lot of guides prepared us for the Matterhorn to be hidden behind clouds. The conventional wisdom was that you needed to be up early to get the best chance of seeing the mountain before the clouds set in. We hoped we’d be lucky enough to see it at some point during our 3 nights in the town and we were delighted to have a…

Switzerland/France 2024 - Part 2 - From Geneva to Zermatt
Day 2 – Geneva to Zermatt This was the most beautiful train journey I’ve ever taken, Swiss trains definitely spoiled us! But first, let’s go back to the weekend before our trip. It was Friday, 21 June, and I was about to finish work for our summer holiday. We had a family wedding at the weekend and then we were off to see the Matterhorn! I was checking the weather forecast when I saw the…
