Disneyland Paris Holiday 2025 (Holidays) (Journal) (Travel)

Dates: 18th September 2025 to 20th September 2025
Photos and Videos By: Warren Woodhouse

I went on holiday to Disneyland Paris with my sister Kirsty, my brother in law Sean and my niece Heidi. I took loads of photos, went on loads of rides and coasters, done two character meet ups with Darth Vader from Star Wars and Olaf from Frozen, had two fine dining experiences as well - one was fine dining lunch at I’Auberge de Cendrillon and we got to meet different Disney Princesses too and the next day we had a fine dining breakfast buffet at Plaza Gardens, both are in Disneyland Paris. We’ve all had a great time on our holiday.

Gate to Walt Disney Studios area of the park

Hollywood Tower

Sneak peek at the new Frozen area being built near the Hollywood Tower. Very secretive about it but a little glimpse of it from this angle for you super fans

Me (on the left) and my sister Kirsty (on the right), our scores during the Spider-Man Web Academy ride over in the Avengers area

The Fountain near the park’s entrance is pretty cool

It has this old timey vibe which I love

The architecture is always impressive

Old timey Mickey sign is cute

My niece, Heidi, wanted me to take some photos of Pumba spiny thing

Genie from Aladdin

The Castle, always an iconic view

We had fine dining lunch at I’Auberge de Cendrillon

I had for my appetiser: Duck pâté en croûte with apricot and ginger

I had for my main course: Beef and red wine casserole

I had for my dessert: Warm chocolate fondant

Beanstalk near a shop

Dumbo Elephant ride

It’s a Small World! My childhood favourite ride

Hyperspace Mountain. When I was younger, I was far too small to go on it, being that I was 3 foot 5 in height at the time.

Me and Sean got lost in the labyrinth of footpaths in the Adventure Isle area of the park. The bridge (in the south west corner of the map) was closed during our trip, making it difficult to navigate the area
