Summary

Cameron and Holly traveled March 25–April 6 with their daughters from Minneapolis to London, Disneyland Paris, and Paris, covering major sights, food experiences, and a women's Arsenal vs. Tottenham match before taking the Eurostar to France.
 
They balanced theme parks and cultural highlights—Disneyland rides and shows, iconic Paris landmarks, a baking class, and metro travel—while noting heavy crowds at Frozen areas, slow dining, and the need to arrive early for airport queues on the return via Dublin.

Today, I have Cameron and Holly's recent trip to London and Paris, including Disneyland Paris.

0:04.7

That's coming up on this, episode 5 of 9 of WW Prep to W.J.D.R. To go, we talk strategy and ideas and have lots and lots of trip reports for people planning their Disney trips. I am your host, Shannon Albert from WDWPropSchool.com. Thank you for being here for episode 509. Today is a trip report that is going to

0:40.7

take us to both London and Paris with a side quest going to Disneyland, Paris. And I just love

0:48.4

these trip reports because I love travel in general, including Disney travel, and this is the best

0:54.1

of both worlds.

0:54.7

So I'm going to have that for you in just a minute.

0:56.8

I always want to remind you to follow on social media.

1:00.3

Most recently, we've been posting park hours updates.

1:03.0

We have a tool that we created to alert us when park hours change, and that can be anything

for your trip are affected. We also have new tools. We have so many tools that we have created.

For a long time, we've had a navigator tool that can help you navigate between point A and point

1:43.5

B. For a while, we have had a Disney dining plan calculator so you can decide by putting in your

1:49.3

dining plans if the Disney dining plan is worth buying. But we have ramped it up with the tools.

1:55.6

And now we have two new ones, a park picker tool, which allows you to put in your trip information.

2:01.6

And then it tells you which parks we think are the best for each day of your trip. This is information that we've had

2:06.5

in our head combined with a lot of data that we've gathered to put this tool together. And for
