First Time at Disneyland Paris | Disneyland Paris Resort

[@Mr17051963]

And as a whole, DL Paris is full of details. One of the most beautiful Fantasyland ever designed!

[@Cristiannnnpel]

Dream before I die is to go to every Disney park in the world

[@AlwaysBelieve]

that is an amazing Dream!! Always Believe and it will come true!

[@KristinAlder]

I'm planning several trips right now with my brother to go to all of them in the next 2 years. I've been to Disney World (I live in Florida), Shanghai, and Hong Kong.

[@Kwpn.Mayline]

Same!

I work in this park since 2006. If you ever come-back in Paris, i'll be glad to show you all the details and the stories. It was nice to see someone enjoying the park without saying "this is not like... I prefer this in other park..." Great video ! Thank you !

[@Camilachortx]

NicolasMenardVoixOff hiiii, I came here today and Im staying at the disneyland hotel, I really need a guide so could you show me the details and everything I should know? thank you!!!

[@marcospisanis739]

Isn’t it Beautiful? Disneyland Paris is the most Beautiful of the Disney Parks. And we have Vincent Price’s Narration in Phantom Manor! I hope you enjoyed this trip Patrick.

[@willhodgson9781]

yes definitely the prettiest

[@jls7159]

Out of all the castles, The Paris castle is my fave....Shanghai is a very close second!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Why do you love the Paris Castle the most? We plan to go when we can do our trip next year :)

[@samanthahoang4419]

My fabulous workplace ♥️😭 I really hope you enjoyed your stay

[@peaceluvpigs]

The slow waits are definitely a result of French culture! In France it's definitely very different from the USA in that we're often go, go, go with urgency, and France tends to be more laissez-faire and are all about moving slowly, with purpose, and at their own leisure!

[@izzy3550]

i went to disneyland paris about 7 years ago (before it was bought back) and wow it looks 10x better than when i was there!!

[@cielokassandrayt746]

Our most unforgettable 7th bday celebration of my daughter at disneyland Paris June 2019..everything is so perfect🙏👏👌👌

[@galacticzoologist]

Yesssss Disneyland Paris is so cool! It has my favorite aesthetic and I loved it so much when I went.

[@JustMeHilaryyy]

i learned in one of my college classes that in france's culture is different(obv) like if you go to a coffee shop or to eat or something the waiters will take a while to get you your food because they arent as focused on the quick service aspect of it i guess, they prefer to have people enjoy their time with the people they are with or just in general i guess. idk if that even made sense but basically france differs from the US in that aspect i guess haha, thats probably why they were taking a while to get you your food. i loved this video btw! makes me want to go to euro disney even more now!

[@PatrickDougall]

Hilary Penalber I hear that if your sitting at a table and whatnot, but standing outside in lines... not so much, haha.

[@evercuriousmichelle]

Yes, I studied abroad in France and noticed that service industry employees don't value a sense of urgency. For example, the cashiers at the Carrefour (large grocery store) all had office chairs they sat in and they had very long, very slowly moving lines. That said, if I were one of the employees, I would have really appreciated not having to rush and being able to sit down!

[@CamilleGras]

Haha as a French person it is very interesting for me to read that :) lunch and dinner are kind of a big thing in France. We like to take our time and it can be disturbing for us when we go abroad and do not have a long lunch break. BUT when we go abroad, we are often surprised about the service. In a good way: waiters are so nice and helpful! Sadly, especially in Paris, we are NOT used to that. But we have other perks ;)

[@Ellie-zy1zf]

I'm literally so envious of you, Paris is the park I mostly go to, and as much as I love it, almost everytime we've gone its been sooo busy and the weather has been bad!

[@dredredreamy]

I love how the square trees at Sleeping Beauty's castle match the animation style of the movie

[@outtherelivinginthepub1973]

It's funny everyone ive ever spoken to thinks it is Cinderella's Castle. The castle in Cinderella was alot thinner looking from a good distance.

Hey I have a question, I want to visit Disneyland to see the pink castle most importantly not so the rides. Can I just walk into the park ticketless to the pink Cinderella castle and then buy each ride if I want?

If you have a bit of time on your hands, you might want to read the backstory of Thunder Mesa and Phantom Manor, ist ties the Paris Frontierland togetjer quite nicely and is unique for all I know.

[@gregoryw.endicott4789]

The Pirates of the Caribbean there is very similar to what you've already been on, so you didn't miss much. The one thing I remember is it goes in reverse order of the other ones - ending with the skeletons.

[@PatrickDougall]

Greg Endicott Hmmm interesting

[@MistiSchindele]

I STAN a spoopy Mickey any day! I'm actually doing Disneyland Paris next year and so excited for a new park experience.

[@PatrickDougall]

Ah! Enjoy!

Patrick-sama, I totally agree with you that Paris Thunder Mountain is the best!! Always love your vlogs. xo

[@PatrickDougall]

It's SOOO good!

[@Freaksoftheinternet]

Alcohol is just generally very prevalent in Europe. At any restaurant in any European country, you get an alcoholic drinks menu, water, and much more rarely will see just a couple soft drinks on the menu.

[@vballdumbbunny13]

Cast members can change the language on star tours. You can request a language, but often they will take note of who is speaking what when they put you in the lines. I have had it both in French and in English before.

[@bexwivanx1]

Nooo! What happened to the French intro in Phantom Manor???? That was my favourite bit! "Par ou sortie!" Also, we once saw Frollo randomly sitting in that spooky gazebo in the Phantom Manor garden. You couldn't get to him to take pictures with him or anything, he was just sitting there, it was kinda creepy lol!

[@hanmet]

With the refurb, they used the original Vincent Price recordings that should have been used on opening back in 1992 but they favoured a different audio at that time so they've gone back to the original plans of PM by adding his voice back in but he does also say it in French. It just wasnt recorded here x

[@frankvandam5100]

Yes! I was waiting for this video as well! Really cool to see you in our ‘Disneyland Paris’ for once! Unfortunately you had to miss Pirates of the Caribbean, which is the best ride of the park if you ask me. Hopefully you will be able to ride it one day. Will there be a second Disneyland Paris video like this, with worlds tiniest Disney park ever, called the Walt Disney Studio’s Park? Did you get to see Disney Illuminations the next day? Did you visit Disney Village and the Disney hotel area?! What did you think of our resort in general? So many questions! 😃👍🏼 By the way, your comments on the Nautilus attraction we’re brilliant! “Great queue! Ow, this is the ride!” 🙄😜

[@PatrickDougall]

Frank van Dam Yup two more Paris videos coming! 🤗

[@frankvandam5100]

Yes! I’m really looking forward to those videos! 😃🏰👍🏼

[@tattie.b8594]

That’s the thing about dlp is that they have loads and loads of walk about things from most of Adventureland with the Peter Pan caverns but it’s often hard to tell if there’s supposed to be something else but nope just walk through

[@Biowoman.]

I went to Disneyland for the first time ever at age 23 at the start of this month and I LOVED it so much! I am still so buzzing from it that I saw this video and got excited :D

[@wendymckee6627]

You will have to come and review it once the land and lake has been added.

[@tattie.b8594]

The backstory for dlp is really interesting as it really links to the layout as her dad owned the thunder Mesa mines and they wanted more Niebuhr so they drilled further causing an explosion in which her dad died. Then she wanted to remarry to a pauper just normal person but her dads spirit wasn’t having that so he killed him and all the other suitors too.

[@mrhubertlouis1]

I just went to Disneyland Paris as well This was a good recap

[@Amy-zq5kn]

Shame you missed the fireworks, Illuminations was my highlight of Disneyland Paris, can't beat it

[@lauraflower3063]

Omg Phantom Mickey was so cute! Quick question but when you order food is it hard to order because of the language difference?

You also so the park, no one was in a hurry were they? (unless they really want to ger on a ride or something)

[@sanibelislandgirl7721]

I was there in March, it was like the park is still in its first opening month.. slow and empty

[@aprylc.8302]

I went to Disneyland Paris this year and it's such a bummer that Pirates was closed. It is definitely a super cool and different experience(especially the que) but it is a really cool thing to see. My favorite thing there was Hyperspace Mountain and I think it would still be super cool as just space mountain.

[@PatrickDougall]

Space Mountain is GREAT!

[@yannickbosshardt]

You have to visit Europa-Park!

[@AdcrofromTikTok]

Great vid! Couple of notes though, Cheshire Cat... the end of the word Cheshire doesn't rhyme with hire, it's said the same as the end of the word closure. Indiana Jones' coaster is generally seen as a bit meh by everyone, but it used to go backwards. Not sure why they changed it. Alice's Labyrinth is great in that it's a little fun attraction that doesn't need a queue and is family friendly, traditional etc. I think that's something I like with Disneyland Paris is that there are things that are attractions but aren't necessarily rides, walkthrus like the Aladdin one, Sleeping Beauty castle, and the Nautilus one are more of a nod to a culture of museums and art galleries etc. Curiosities. Also an interesting note, in Paris Mickey is almost always French, but Donald is almost always American. Goofy tends to be both. Also Goofy is called DIngo, and Chip n Dale are called Tik and Tak. The arcades behind the shops on Main Street were created especially because of potential poor weather but without putting Main Street under a big glass roof like in Tokyo. One is themed to Discoveryland, and what people of the past thought today would be like, and the other is themed to Frontierland, and the Statue of Liberty. Both are fab because you can also relax in them and access the shops, not just walkthrus. One thing I don't like with Paris compared to WDW and DL is that construction walls don't tend to be themed. You might get the occasional scrim, but usually they're just those ugly turquoise wooden fence walls. Also.... you like your dragons and snakes dontcha? ;)

[@dansrandomvideos2515]

For Phantom manor, it has recently come back from an extended refurbishment and during that refurbishment they changed the story and also tried to make it more like all the other haunted mansions for some reason.

[@dansrandomvideos2515]

It also has connections to a bigger story that backgrounds most of Paris's frontier land.

[@PatrickDougall]

Yup! That's why it was at the top of my list.
