2. Enjoy a Magical Dining Experience

I highly recommend upgrading your Disneyland Paris trip with a premium dining experience. Disney offers an exciting choice of character dining, fine dining, premium meal plans and special occasion packages to spoil yourself and your loved ones.

Character Dining

A memorable experience loved by families, having breakfast with Winnie the Pooh, lunch with Princesses, or dinner with Mickey and friends feels utterly magical.

These character dining experiences are in two beautifully-themed restaurants in Disneyland Park:

Auberge de Cendrillon – Cinderella’s Inn. Meet Cinderella, her mice friends and 2 other Disney princesses. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available.
Plaza Gardens Restaurant. Breakfast features classic characters from Winnie the Pooh, Pinocchio and Peter Pan. Dinner has Mickey Mouse and friends.

But the most exclusive character dining is in the Disneyland Hotel:

At the Royal Banquet buffet, you can meet Mickey and Minnie in their royal clothing.
At La Table Lumiere, an upscale a la carte restaurant, you can dine with royal couples like Cinderella and Prince Charming or Ariel and Prince Eric.

5. Revel in Front Row Entertainment

Recently I upgraded my Disneyland Paris trip by purchasing Reserved Access for the fireworks. Watching the evening spectacular in an exclusive area right next to the castle – without the crowds – truly made me feel VIP.

You can also buy Reserved Access for Disneyland Paris Shows. Arrive only 15 minutes before your favourite show, and you are given access to the theatre before the other guests. This means preferred seating with less waiting.

6. Give Your Child the Royal Treatment

Treat your child to the experience of a lifetime. With My Royal Dream, they get to become a princess or prince for the day with hair styling, make-up and a royal costume (depending on your package).

7. Get Invited to a Specially Ticketed Event

If you’re a fan of characters (like me), then you might be interested to know that Annual Passholders get Disneyland Paris extras.

Disneyland Paris has 4 uniquely-themed evening parties each year, exclusively for annual pass holders. Generally, these are evening soirees with unique themes and rare Disney characters. They also feature shows you won’t see anywhere else.

➡️ I announce the Annual Pass Party dates in my VIP Club newsletter, so sign up if you’d like to be alerted when tickets drop. You can also check out all the perks of an Annual Pass.

8. Take Advantage of Professional Photographer

Capture your Disneyland Paris memories with professional photos.

Purchase the Disney PhotoPass+ for ride photos, popular character meets and a few iconic locations in the parks. It has the added benefit of ‘magic shots’ where Disney cartoon characters magically appear in the photo (see picture above left).

This is one of the Disneyland Paris extras I love because it means my whole family can be in the photo together. It’s also great when I’m travelling solo.

➡️ Purchase Disney PhotoPass+ at the stroller rental shop in Disneyland Park (just under the Railway) or in selected boutiques in both parks.

Customisation is the perfect way to give a VIP feel to your experience.

My favourite Disneyland Paris extra is this view at sunset by the castle with your favourite drink.

10. Sip Champagne by the Castle at Sunset

By far, my favourite way to feel like a VIP at Disneyland Paris is to sip champagne by the castle at sunset. After a busy day in the parks, it feels marvellously luxurious to relax with a delicious glass of bubbly.

➡️ Find this outside Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour at the end of Main Street. Champagne costs €20 and you can keep the flute as a souvenir.
