Hi guys and welcome to my February 2022 trip report! We got back late last night from our trip to Disney, and as this was our first time flying somewhere by ourselves, I thought I’d share our experience to help anyone else planning their first trip.

We booked a Disneyland Paris package and stayed at Disney’s Hotel Cheyenne.

We flew from Manchester and got to the airport an hour earlier than advised — and I’m really glad we did. All flights leaving from Manchester seemed to be in the same check-in queue, so it was pretty manic. I’d definitely recommend getting there earlier than you think you need to, just to be safe.

They only briefly checked our Covid tests and sworn statements, but I was still glad we had them ready just in case.

We used Disney’s Magical Shuttle bus transfers and found them really easy to use and good value, costing €23 per adult and €10 per child each way.

We had to wait around for the 2:30pm bus because our flight was delayed, but it honestly wasn’t a problem. We just grabbed a McDonald’s in the airport while we waited.

Hotel Cheyenne Review 🏨

We stayed at Disney’s Hotel Cheyenne and it was great. The staff were lovely and our room was really nice.

There were meet and greets with Woody and Jessie from Toy Story every morning, and the shuttle bus took less than five minutes to get to the parks.

We went to the Red Garter Saloon twice and had some delicious cocktails at really good prices. I’d definitely recommend stopping by for a Glowtini.

Time to Hit the Parks! 🎢

We have to say the parks didn’t feel too busy overall. Queue times really just depended on the ride. Bigger rides such as Big Thunder Mountain were usually around 20 to 40 minutes, while smaller rides were often just 5 to 15 minutes.

We had some lovely snacks around the parks and I’d definitely recommend the mango whip and the Mickey waffle. The parade was brilliant too, so I’d definitely say make time to watch that at least once.

A Day Out in Paris 🗼

We also decided to head into Paris for the day and it was super easy on the train directly from Disney train station.

It cost €7 for a one-way ticket and we got off at Châtelet–Les Halles and walked to the Eiffel Tower. What we didn’t realise was just how far away it actually was, so I’d definitely recommend getting the bus or Metro instead, which was only about €2.

Dining at Disneyland Paris 🍝

We thought the food throughout the parks and hotel was very good. I’m quite a picky eater depending on what’s on offer, but I never struggled to find something I liked.

One night we grabbed a quick bite from Earl of Sandwich and took it back to our room.

Another night we went to the Rainforest Café in Disney Village. You can’t book there, so it’s just a case of joining the queue or being given a time to return, but it was absolutely worth it.

The restaurant is amazingly themed and the food was gorgeous. I’d 100% recommend it if you haven’t been before. I had the Rasta pasta, which was a huge portion and so tasty. I couldn’t finish it, so my boyfriend helped out and he loved it too 😄

On the last night we used the Hotel Cheyenne buffet and I personally thought it was great value for money. As I mentioned, I’m a picky eater, but at Chuck Wagon Café I found plenty I liked and was absolutely stuffed afterwards.

Travelling Home ✈️

Travelling home was so much easier than the journey out. The airport is huge and really modern, but it’s a great place to shop and grab some food before flying home.

Check-in and security were straightforward. Airport staff checked our passenger locator form, Covid passport and of course our normal passport at different stages, but everyone was friendly and helpful.

We used Randox for our Covid tests and found them really easy to use. The results appeared on the app within minutes. We didn’t get an email, but you can download the results as a PDF, which was really handy.
