1. Choosing the Best Time to Go 📅

Avoid school holidays and weekends if you can—hello, empty queues and quieter bars!

Midweek, off-peak months (January, March, September, early December) = fewer kids, cheaper prices, more space for your inner child.

Special events like Disneyland Paris Pride, Halloween Soirée, or Run Weekend bring a fun adult crowd.

Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel: Swish, modern, with a grown-up vibe, great bar, and right by Disney Village.

Disneyland Hotel (if the budget allows): Pure luxury, elegant afternoon teas, and private park entry.

Sequoia Lodge: Cosy bar, lakeside walks, and an indoor pool for that woodland retreat feeling.
