I’m an adult, so I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy Disneyland this much! We went on so many rides, from the super fast superhero coaster Flight Force to the cute and romantic Tea Cups. We absolutely loved the Ratatouille ride, and exploring Phantom Manor was such a cool experience too.
We didn’t expect to want to try so many attractions, so next time we’re definitely staying for 2 days! Even as adults, we felt like kids again. It really felt like being in a fairytale.
P.S. There were so many souvenirs we wanted that we actually had to buy an extra bag for them! 😂
P.P.S. Because of the war, we haven’t had fireworks in Ukraine since 2022. Seeing them again for the first time in 4 years during the nighttime show was so emotional. We actually cried. It meant so much to us, and we’ll never forget that moment. ❤️

The boat trip was very nice and adds a relaxing experience to the city trip.
The bad part: you need to download the app to have access to the tickets and the app needs iOs 18, so people with older versions can't have the tickets. Just send them to an email like most sevices do, because once we left Paris - the app gets deleted, but the forced download leave a bad taste.

I loved everything. The Alexandre III Bridge was my favorite; its structure and lights make it look even more magical at night.
The Eiffel Tower was something magical, hard to explain and put into words everything I felt seeing it for the first time 🥺. It’s a dream come true, I would do the night cruise a thousand times over.
