Obviously there is plenty of choice of rides at DisneyLand Paris, however I thought I would give a run down on my top 5. I am not a huge rollercoaster type of person, so that is why non of the bigger rides are featuring here.
- Ratatouille
DLP Today, (2014)
A pretty new edition to DLP but it has firmly taken the top spot to be my favourite ride. Ratatouille is an immersive experience where you are transformed into the size of a rat, moving around the kitchen just like Remy. The 4D effects enhance it so much, really making you feel like you are a rat. I’m a complete nerd as well so the fact that it is a trackless ride as well is pretty neat! The queue system for this ride is just perfect, with the smells making it seem like you are in the streets of Paris and the look out to Gusteaus restaurant. This is the one ride that I would happily stand in a 2 hour queue for because it is amazing.
2. Buzz Lightyears Lazer Blast
What a classic ride that everyone has to go on. Zooming around the galaxy, battling it out against your opponent to see who will become the better Space Ranger. I think what I love about this ride the most is the competitiveness, and I’m a very competitive person anyway, so I will win! Anyway, I have had many a good memory of this ride, and the pictures at the moment really catch the enjoyment of it all. The only issue I have with it at the moment is that there is probably some maintenance needed, as the past two years I have been, it has broken down either whilst I was on it, or just before.
3. Peter Pan’s Flight
DLP Tips (2016)
A very short ride compared to the waiting in the queues, but it doesn’t disappoint! Flying around Neverland in your very own pirate ships, you are taken through the story of Peter Pan, encountering all of the favourite characters, including Captain Hook. My favourite part of this ride is where all of the stars come out, and it truly looks like Tinkerbell has spread some of her Pixie Dust magic. Unfortunately I didn’t get to do this ride on my last trip, but to it being broken down, however, it is definitely one that I intend to ride on my next trip.
4. Autopia
A ride that is probably very dated, and a lot simpler compared to all of the other, but still remains a favourite. Here you get to drive your own car around the depth of Discoveryland. This ride is fantastic for little ones who don’t drive a car, just to give them that grown up feel, however if you do drive, can be a little underwhelming. These cars are ran by motors and petrol, which give them that old fashioned smell which I love. And the queues are pretty short as well, which is obviously a bonus! The perfect time to ride Autopia is towards sunset, because the views that you can get are beautiful.
5. It’s a Small World
This one is a bit like Marmite, people love it or hate it, and are usually put off by it due to the same song on repeat, which you are bound to have in your head for the rest of the day! However, I love the whole musical vibe with all of the different dolls from different areas of the world, giving younger children an insight into other cultures, however it is very stereotypical. But anyway, I love the song, and it has become tradition that as soon as I get into the parks, this is the first ride I do!
