Things to Do in Disneyland Paris in 4 Days

As you can imagine, Disneyland Paris has a lot to see: the traditional Disneyland Park theme park, the Walt Disney Studios film park and a third area known as Disney Village with a limitless entertainment offer.

If your trip lasts four days, you're in luck, as you'll be able to discover all the park's attractions in detail. Read on to find out how to plan your trip and, of course, book your multi-day ticket for Disneyland.

Disneyland Park has five areas clearly differentiated according to their theme. I recommend that on the first day you immerse yourself in the world of Main Street, Frontierland and Discoveryland.

• Main Street USA: As soon as you enter Main Street USA you will get an idea of what you can expect to see over the next four days. There are numerous restaurants, shops and shopping arcades in this area. You will also start to meet your favourite characters and take a sightseeing tram tour.
• Fantasyland: Sleeping Beauty's castle, as well as the world of Alice in Wonderland and many other fairy tales await you in this area of magic and fantasy.
• Discoveryland: If you are a Star Wars or Toy Story lover, this area will dazzle you.

Take a steam locomotive sightseeing tour.

As soon as you arrive at Disneyland Paris, I recommend you to go to the Main Street Station and take a tour in the steam locomotive to get an idea of the dimensions and the different areas of the park. The tour lasts 20 minutes and stops at Main Street, Frontierland and Fantasyland.

Going to Disneyland and not getting a gift is an impossible task. So check prices, compare and buy the best.

On the fourth day of your trip to Disneyland Paris I recommend you to visit Disney Village, a third area next to Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios, which has cinemas, live music, themed shops and several bars and restaurants, as well as a wide range of shows.
