Disneyland Paris 2-Day Itinerary

The ideal way to organize your two-day Disneyland Paris itinerary is to save the complicated moving for the first day and the exploration for the second.

Note: The multi-day ticket is the best option for starting the two-day exploration of Disneyland Paris. 

Day 1 Itinerary

We hope you arrive before the opening hours because you have much to explore. Thrill coasters like Adventure Isle, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, Peter Pan’s Flight, Crush’s Coaster, and Ratatouille can be the focus of your energetic mornings. Your morning at Disneyland Paris ends with this.

It’s critical to replenish your lost energy after such a busy morning. There are several themed or quick-bite eateries to select from. Any bar, like the Sequoia Lodge, is a great place to get a cool drink. Although, due to their vibrant nightlife, visiting bars at night is better. You can devote your afternoons and evenings to programs and events that have set times.

To make your visit more straightforward, we advise you to review these times and select your favorite shows in advance. You should continue your journey on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Dumbo: The Flying Elephant, and Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain. The Disney parade will kick off your night at 5.30 pm, which will include dinner and the Disney Illuminations.

Day 2 Itinerary

After wrapping up most of your ride-related adventures, you can lose yourself in the enchanting settings of Alice’s Curious Labyrinth and Sleeping Beauty Castle in the first half of the morning. For a more wild experience, don’t miss Phantom Manor, an eerie adventure full of surprises, or Mickey’s PhilharMagic, a spectacular 3D show that’s sure to delight.

Next, head to Thunder Mesa Riverboat Landing, La Cabane des Robinson, and the Rustler Roundup Shootin’ Gallery for some adventurous fun. In the second half of the morning, make your way over to Walt Disney Studio Park and explore its fascinating array of attractions. You will have the whole day to explore and take pictures after a full day of exhausting rides.
