Bonjour!
Welcome to planDisney, Lorna! Thank you for visiting us with your question today about your plans to visit
Disneyland Paris. I have been lucky enough to visit many, many times, as it is our local Disney Park, and I only speak English, other than some very basic pre-GCSE French! You can definitely visit as a non-French speaker, as you will find so much in both English and French. Even the shows are cleverly scripted, often with one character speaking English and another responding in French, but in a way that means both languages can understand what is going on.
Personally, I think it is always great to learn a little bit of the language before visiting any country. For me, that means learning an important phrase like "Un café au lait, s'il vous plaît", so I can get my coffee in the morning. But the great news is that Guest-facing Cast Members can communicate in English, and often multiple other languages too.
So, now we know there is no real language barrier, there are so many other reasons to take the trip to visit Disneyland Paris. While it is very familiar to the Disney Parks you may have experienced in the USA, there are also so many unique attractions and experiences. Firstly,
Sleeping Beauty Castle, in my opinion, is the most beautiful Disney castle ever created, and it even features a sleeping dragon in the dungeon beneath. Seeing is believing! Then there are the attractions such as Crush's Coaster, Avengers Assemble: Flight Force and Raiponce Tangled Spin. There are also some familiar attractions that will give you a completely different experience, such as Phantom Manor, Big Thunder Mountain,
Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror!
I hope this helps answer your question today, Lorna! Have fun planning your European adventure. If you have any other vacation planning questions, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
See ya real soon!
