Bonjour and Bienvenue, Hollie!
You're just two short weeks away from the magic of Disneyland Paris. You must be so excited! It's almost time to begin packing your bags, so be sure to grab your mouse ears. Of course, if you'd rather purchase a new pair from the
Emporium, I fully support that decision as well because there's nothing quite like finding a
practically perfect accessory to complete your outfit for a day in the theme parks.
Speaking of a day in the theme parks, how incredible that you were given the opportunity to open Disneyland Park for the day. What a magical moment that must have been! While I have never been lucky enough to have been chosen for this special honor at any of the Disney Parks I have visited, I have seen these moments captured on video and shared online, and it looks like such a pixie-dusted way to start the day.
While special moments such as this are sure to be unforgettable, unfortunately, they are unable to be booked in advance as they are not guaranteed. When certain Guests are chosen to open a theme park for the day, they are chosen at random, so for the best chance of being selected, you'll want to arrive well before the
theme park opens for the day (including Extra Magic Time).
While every visit to a Disney destination is special, I completely understand your desire to ensure an unforgettable moment for your son, so I encourage you to look into the
magical extras offered at Disneyland Paris. Personally, I'll never pass up a character dining experience or the opportunity to shorten wait times with Disney Premier Access or Reserved Viewing Areas for fireworks and parades.
I hope this clears things up for you, Hollie, and that I've provided some helpful suggestions that can add a bit of sparkle to your vacation. If you'd like any additional advice, feel free to come see us again here at
