Places to visit Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris is mainly a place for doing, not for seeing. But this doesn't mean there are no places with a good view.

• The Castle (Fantasyland) is the dominating feature of the Park. While the cynic will notice the stark plastic construction, the castle's fascination cannot be denied by anybody who grew up with Disney style comics. Don't forget to visit the Dragon Cave through a side entrance; the sleeping dragon is one of the best Audio-Animatronics in Disneyland.
• Disney Characters are spread liberally throughout the park. Many are available around the clock - usually the more famous characters like Mickey, Donald etc - and some are only available at certain times. Some characters move around. Care is being taken by the Disneyland administration that no character can be met twice at the same time. Inquire at any store or information outlet about the schedule of the characters. They will give autographs to children, and their main purpose is of course to pose for photos. If you have a favorite "must see", inquire as soon as you can on your arrival; some minor characters - like Stich - are hard to track down.
• Throughout the day there are various Parades - some of them are quite famous. They include various Disney and non-Disney characters, are held in different parts of the Park at different times. The park map will have a listing of the schedules.

Getting to Disneyland Paris:

Get in - After you arrive, first get to your hotel if you have booked one. You will get your tickets there, as well as information material (maps) and breakfast vouchers.

By Car - One choice if you live in France or in a nearby region (Central Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) is to take a car. The highway system of France is decent enough and Disneyland Europe is easy to find. You should keep a supply of cash and/or credit cards ready, however, as the French charge for the use of the highways. A trip from Frankfurt/Germany to Disneyland Paris can cost approximately 30 Euros in fees. 

By Train - The best way to reach Disneyland Paris, which has its own train station, is by train: they are reliable and run frequently. Paris RER Line A runs from central Paris to the Disneyland Paris station, with frequent trains taking 35 minutes for the journey.
