Arrival Day
Home after a fab 4-night break! We tagged it onto the end of a camping trip in the Netherlands.
We stayed at Hotel Campanile and bought 2 single day / single park tickets.
We arrived Wednesday and had a lovely evening wandering around Disney Village. Pizza and chips from the café next to the Sports Bar—reasonable price and decent quality.
Things like ponchos, snacks, glow sticks and Disney bits are MUCH cheaper before your trip 👇
Day One – Walt Disney Studios 🎬

We headed straight to Avengers Campus at 9:30am and got onto Web Slingers within about 25 minutes.
Next up was Flight Force with a parent swap—which worked brilliantly and saved loads of time.
Avengers Campus Tips & Highlights:
- Be QUICK for the training virtual queue—we missed it but still loved watching Spider-Man and the Wakanda Warriors.
- Ate at Stark Factory—better than Village pizza but pricier (€43 for pizza slice, pasta, and 4 drinks).
- Stitch Live! was a big hit with the kids.
- Tower of Terror terrified our 5-year-old 😅
- Slinky Dog = favourite for younger kids.
- Crush’s Coaster single rider = big time saver.
- Ratatouille = brilliant as always.
Evening = back to Avengers Campus for shorter queues and multiple rides… plus an evacuation off Flight Force for extra excitement 😄

Disneyland Park Highlights 🏰
Started in Discoveryland—Buzz Lightyear was only 15 mins so we jumped straight on, followed by Star Tours.
- Big Thunder Mountain = family favourite 🎢
- Pirates slightly scary but manageable
- Peter Pan = longest queue of the trip
- Lunch from Cool Post—quick, decent, and great for queueing
Highlight of the entire trip? The Lion King show 🦁 — absolutely incredible. Kids were glued to it!
Parade at 5:30pm was magical (even if it hasn’t changed much).
Evening rides + fireworks = perfect end to the day.
💡 Evenings are your secret weapon 👉 shorter queues after 7pm
Food, Tips & Real Talk 💡
- Best food: Vapiano — great value and quality
- Take cash just in case—some mobile stalls had card issues
- Queues can get HOT—umbrella for shade is a great idea ☂️
- Bring drinks/snacks—€3.50–€4 per bottle inside the park
- Water fountains exist but aren’t always easy to use

Extra Experiences 🌍
Quick trip into Paris via RER A—easy and cheap (€5 adults, €2.50 kids).
Also popped into the Marvel Hotel—no issues entering and kids loved the displays.
Final Thoughts ❤️
We crammed SO much into 2 days and were absolutely exhausted… but it was 100% worth it.
It’s intense—but totally doable if you plan it right.
Would we do it again? Absolutely.
