Life with Mrs C

Join myself and Ellie for another fun blog, this time discussing our favourite things to do around the Disney Village. Located just outside the Disney theme parks, offers a variety of entertainment, dining, and shopping experiences for visitors of all ages. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a day at the parks or enjoy some unique attractions, Disney Village has something for everyone.

From lively restaurants to exciting shows, here are some of our top things to do while visiting Disney Village.

1- Eat at Annette’s Diner

If you’re after a true American diner experience, there’s no better place to head than Annette’s Diner! You can choose from a range of burgers, sides, shakes and floats as well as cocktails and beers, all served to you by the waiters on skates. The decor reminds you very much of old fashioned 50’s diners, giving off some more Grease vibes. Reasonably priced, as well this is a fun way to take a break from the works whilst staying in the Disney bubble.

2- Bar hop

If you’re there on an adults trip, or your favourite team happens to be playing during your trip, why not try a little bar hop around the village? There’s a proper American sports bar with a gigantic tv outside showing sports from open to close, an English pub which harks back to medieval times with the decor, where you can even get a large stein of beer!

3- Visit the rainforest

Another brilliant restaurant, is Rainforest Cafe. Located at the far end of the village, you walk into a fully immersive dining experience like nothing you may ever have been to before. after walking through the shop, you are greeted by gigantic fish tanks full of colourful marine life, where you check in and head deeper into the rainforest to your table. Throughout your time the animals surrounding you will wake up and make noises and move around, with the climax being a huge thunderstorm with light and sound effects. Serving a range of meals from burgers and steaks to pasta dishes and fajitas, and you can wash it all down with some classic cocktails and beers.

4- Visit World of Disney

How could you possibly go to Disney Village and not visit World of Disney shop. If you’re looking for Disney merchandise on your trip, this place has it all. From Minnie ears to toys, photo albums to home decor, it’s filled to the brim with everything! It’s the largest gift shop in Disneyland Paris so you definitely have to make a stop! Not only that but the store is stunning!

5- Marvel at the Lego figures

Who doesn’t love to admire the creativity and determination the Lego creators make?!? The Lego Store in Disney Village has some quite large creations and they often change them around. I specifically loved the Toy Story setup with Woody and Buzz Lightyear. And if you fancy buying some Lego too they have a wide selection of sets to purchase!

6- Eat at McDonalds

This one probably sounds like a strange choice, however stick with us! McDonald’s is great in any country but this particular one serves fast food and alcohol! Yep that’s right you can grab a beer with your burger! It also has some french specialities including macarons which are delicious. Also if you have fussy children who refuse to eat anything but chicken nuggets (me age 6 guilty as charged) then it’s a great spot to let them have some familiar food!

There is still so much more to discover around Disney Village, so get on out there and explore it for yourself. These are our top 6 highlights but there’s also more dining, more shopping and even the unique experience of flying up in a hot air balloon! What is your favourite thing to do around Disney Village?
