Life with Mrs C

Welcome to another joint blog post! Ellie and I are so excited to share our Top 10 Things to Do in Walt Disney Studios park in Disneyland Paris. This park has a lot of similarities to Hollywood Studios over in Orlando, and is filled with Hollywood glamour. It has changed alot over the years, and is still changing with some exciting new areas and attentions coming over the next few years. We have listed our top 10 favourite things to do in this park – the rides are coming in their own post! So join us for trip to old school Hollywood….

1. Eat at Chez Remy

If you’re a fan of the movie Ratatouille then you have to add Chez Remy to your bucket list. The ride actually comes out to the restaurant which is a nifty feature. Inside the restaurant you are shrunk down to the size of a rat so everything looks huge! Chairs and tables are made out of things like champagne corks, there are cocktail umbrellas everywhere and it’s truly adorable. The theming is on point! And the food was lush. I recommend the steak and you have to try the ratatouille right

2. Mickey and the Magician

This is one of my favourite shows in any Disney park worldwide! It’s breathtakingly beautiful. It has stunning sets and catchy musical numbers. It features characters such as Mickey (obviously!), Cinderella, Genie, and Lumiere just to name a few! If you haven’t seen it I won’t spoil it, but just know it’s well worth a watch. It’s also really cleverly done as half of the characters speak French and half speak English so both languages can understand the storyline!

3. Meet the Marvel Superheroes

Now I personally sadly haven’t been since the Avengers Campus opened up, but superheroes have been a part of this park since before that. Nowadays you can go to the Hero Training Centre and meet superheroes such as Spiderman or Captain Marvel. But aside from that they also have superheroes wandering Avengers Campus so you’re always guaranteed to see someone cool! I met Captain America way back when and he was amazing!

4. Admire Walt’s Statue

It would not be a Disney trip without saying thank you to the man who made it all possible. Walt Disney has many statues across the world and this park is no different. The iconic Partners Statue is situated in the hub at Walt Disney Studios Parc and features Walt and Mickey Mouse. It’s a great photo opportunity and I always smile whenever I walk past it. Thanks Walt!

5. Stitch Live!

Stitch Live is such a fun show. If you’ve ever been to Turtle Talk with Crush in the American parks then it is a very similar concept. You will be watching Stitch and friends on a screen and he will be able to converse with some of the audience. It’s great for all ages but especially children. But it’s even funnier when your friends get picked out and called grumpy (sorry Pete!)

6. Go see Together: A Pixar Musical

Another brilliant show is the Pixar Musical. It’s a little newer than Mickey and the Magician, and is a fantastic experience! You follow Pixar favourites from Toy Story as they go on a whole musical adventure to help re write a musical piece. They visit a multitude of Pixar worlds, featuring our favourite characters with amazing visuals, effects and songs that are quite frankly addictive bops you’ll be singing all day! A definite must do for any trip.

7. Explore Avengers Campus

Exploring Avengers Campus is a thrilling experience for Marvel fans and adventure seekers alike. This immersive area brings the Marvel universe to life. The vibrant, atmosphere, detailed spots round every corner, make you feel like you’re in the middle of a superhero film. Guests can also meet beloved characters like Spider-Man and Iron Man, posing for memorable photos against the backdrop of the high-tech campus. With themed dining options and exclusive merchandise, Avengers Campus offers a complete Marvel experience that leaves visitors feeling like true heroes.

8. Grab some themed snacks

Walt Disney Studios Park offers a delightful array of themed snacks from the whimsical treats inspired by beloved characters to the savory delights reflecting the park’s cinematic themes, there’s something for everyone. For a sweet touch, the Marvel-themed desserts at Avengers Campus, like the colorful cupcakes and Groot cookies, are not only delicious but also Instagram-worthy. We got a chocolate and a jam one, both of which were amazing. Each snack provides a tasty way to recharge while soaking in the park’s vibrant atmosphere!

9. Find the photo & instagram spots

Walt Disney Studios Park is a paradise for Instagram enthusiasts, featuring numerous visually stunning spots perfect for capturing memorable moments. Start at the vibrant Toon Studio, where the playful, cartoon-inspired architecture offers a whimsical backdrop that’s sure to brighten any feed. The Ratatouille area provides charming Parisian streets and delightful details, making it a picturesque spot for a cozy, European vibe. For a more dramatic shot, the imposing Twilight Zone Tower of Terror stands ready to add an element of suspense to your photos. Don’t forget the colorful props and set pieces scattered throughout the park, which create unique opportunities for creative and fun shots. Each corner of the park invites you to showcase your Disney magic in style!

10. Explore Paris

Another amazing spot within the park is the Paris area which features Ratatouille the ride, as well as Remy’s Bistro (which we covered earlier in the blog!) and a gorgeous little shop. The detail in this area is another level leaving you feel like you’re right in the heart of Paris. They also feature little food huts serving up crepes, champagne, pretzels and more through out the day in a mini food and wine feature, meaning it’s a perfect little spot to stop for a snack with a good number of places to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.

There are so many amazing things you can do in the Walt Disney Studios Parc, most of which are unlike anything else around the World. This park is changing to Disney’s Adventure World so who knows what the future holds for this park! But for now, enjoy our top 10 picks of things to do (that aren’t rides because we’ll get to that later!) 👋
