56. Disneyland Paris – Everything You Need to Know from an American Family Living in Europe
In this episode, Kelsey sits down with expat mom Brittani, who moved from Phoenix, Arizona to the Netherlands with her family of five. As a long-time Disneyland California fan, Brittani has now visited Disneyland Paris twice (Spring 2024 and December 2024) - and she’s sharing everything you need to know before you go.
From the decadent breakfast spread at the Disneyland Paris Hotel to must-ride attractions like Crush’s Coaster (only found here!), Brittani gives a full breakdown of what makes Disneyland Paris special. She also opens up about the cultural differences you might notice in the parks, where to stay, how it compares to other Disney parks, and her family’s favorite foods, experiences, and rides.
