Why taking your foot off the accelerator can make a longer Disneyland Paris trip better, not worse.
It is tempting to think every available park hour has to be used because Disneyland Paris is expensive. We have found the opposite can be true on longer trips.
Early starts, late finishes and huge step counts add up quickly. By day three or four, pushing through tiredness can make everyone enjoy the parks less.
If your hotel has a pool, bar, character meets or somewhere pleasant to relax, build some time around actually enjoying it.
Leaving for a few hours and returning refreshed can be much better than staying in the park all afternoon simply because you feel you should.
