food IS a theme park

Just like the domestic Disney parks, Disneyland Paris has an accessibility program so that disabled guests can experience the attractions around the park. Now, the resort is introducing a new accessibility program, and we’ve got all the details!
Earlier this year, Disneyland Paris unveiled a new Premier Access program, which essentially got rid of the FastPass system there and replaced it with a program that allows guests to pay a little extra to skip the lines at certain attractions. Sounds kinda like Disney Genie+ and pay-per-ride, right?

Premier Access works like this — a guest can choose to pay an upcharge via the Disneyland Paris app to skip the line for each available attraction. Only certain rides have this feature, but those that do cost anywhere from around €8 to €15 (around $9 to $18 USD).
Disneyland Paris is home to two theme parks, including Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park.

Disneyland Paris just announced their Halloween plans for 2021 and it includes a 38-day Halloween celebration, including a special event on Halloween night! There will be Halloween decorations, Disney Villains, new merchandise, and more. If you want to learn more about this festival, we’ve got all the details!
We’ve seen a lot of news shared about Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary lately, but that resort isn’t the only one celebrating a big anniversary in the near future.

Disneyland Paris officially opened on April 12th, 1992, meaning next year (2022) will be its 30th anniversary! We’ve already seen some things recently announced about Disneyland Paris including how a land in Walt Disney Studios Park at the resort will be called Worlds of Pixar and how Disneyland Paris is working with a company to make recycling more magical in certain cities. But, now we’ve got news about the festivities coming for the big anniversary next year!
Although we’ve been excited about Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebrations, there are fun things happening at Disney Parks ALL over the world!

Disneyland Paris reopened back in June, and since then the park has implemented a paid FastPass system (with specific pricing for each attraction), new COVID-19 requirements, the new Marvel-themed hotel has opened, and we got a first look at the holiday entertainment. But now, Pixar fans have another reason to go visit Disneyland Paris!
The FastPass+ system at Disney World has not returned since the parks reopened in July of 2020, and there’s no word on when it will.
FastPass+
FastPasses essentially let you book a time slot to skip most of the line on attractions. Disneyland Paris recently implemented a new system of paid FastPasses, called Disney Premier Access. This is different from Disney World, where FastPasses were free to guests with a park ticket. Now we have a look at the exact pricing for Disneyland Paris’ new FastPass system.
The wonderful thing about Disney Parks is that EVERYTHING comes with a story.

Even the newest cookie shop at Disney Springs has its own backstory, but there’s one tale that encompasses almost all of Disney’s theme parks! We bet there’s a good change you might not even know this is a thing (and for some folks, it’s a BIG thing!). We’re talkin’ bout the elusive, mysterious, and sometimes familiar Society of Explorers and Adventurers — sounds awesome, right? Just wait til you learn more!
It may only be July, but the holiday news is already in full swing in Disney World and Disneyland! We’re just a few short weeks away from the debut of the BOO Bash and Oogie Boogie Bash for Halloween.

And, now Disney has even dropped news about what Christmas will be like at the parks and resorts this year as entertainment, merchandise, festivals, and more debut. But, there are MORE places celebrating the holidays outside of Disney’s U.S. theme parks!
