It is safe to say that 2019 is shaping up to be the ultimate year for Disney films! Many familiar faces are back or getting a fresh makeover, just in time for some of the best and most exciting events Disneyland® Paris has to offer in 2019. And here at MagicBreaks, we are super eager for all the fun to begin.

We have taken a magical look at what is coming out this year and gathered our top five upcoming Disney films along with the special events that you are not going to want to miss at Disneyland® Paris…

Toy Story 4 – 21st June 2019

Set to be the film of the summer, our favourite team of toys is back. Woody, Jessie, Buzz and co are returning, along with a few new faces to bring our inner child back out. With so much enjoyment sure to be conjured up, there will be no playing around this time, especially with the launch of Toy Story Play Days (18th June until 28th June 2019) at the Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland® Paris falling around the release. Allow your younger self to come back fully, by exploring the wonders of the Toy Story Land area. Shrink to the size of the toys, amongst the giant toy themed pieces before jumping on board Slinky’s rollercoaster or take a selfie with the giant Buzz, who is there to greet you.

Whilst the land is available all year, any true Toy Story fan (or budding ones), will want to take a trip to Toy Story Land as soon as possible, as the Play Days season is only on for this summer. You’ll get the chance to meet Woody, Jess and Buzz in ways you never have before, you won’t want to miss it. Plus, MagicBreaks can lasso you up a holiday in June that you’ll never forget!

The Lion King – 19th July 2019

The classic Disney story is getting a makeover this year, with stars including Beyonce, Donald Glover, Seth Rogen and James Earl Jones lending their voices to a new live-action version. Start the party early at The Lion King and Jungle Festival, running from the 30th June until the 22nd September 2019, at Disneyland® Paris. Prepare to be wrapped up in the Prideland with Simba and co and embrace the Hakuna matata lifestyle with Timon and Pumbaa, Baloo and King Louie.

Every day there will be something magical that the whole family will be able to enjoy. Roar along to The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands stage show and learn how to lead your own pack. Jive with the King of the Swingers at The Jungle Book Jive musical show. And embrace the beat of your own drum at the African Djembe drum with the Djembe Academy classes. MagicBreaks have some incredible offers to make your package something Simba would be proud of, with 2 nights' accommodation & 3-day Disney® Parks entry from £169 per person in September 2019 available. An offer you will want to pounce on after embracing the new film!

Plus, for the Lion King super-fans, the Lion King Signature Experience can be added to your booking for just £87.06 per person.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil - 18th October 2019

Back to cause even more havoc for our Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent returns just in time for Halloween. In a brand-new tale, she fights to protect the land and creatures she loves, which could see her and one of our favourite princess’ reuniting. If you are feeling brave enough, spend the spooky season with the big-screen star at Disneyland® Paris in 2019, during Disney’s Halloween Festival season, starting on the 28th September until 3rd November 2019. From terrifying live shows to petrifying parties, the Disneyland® Park is gearing up for an extra special spooky time in 2019, hosting not one but two Disney's Halloween Party's!

With the choice to experience a party like no other either on the 26th or 31st October, MagicBreaks advises you pack your best cloaks, witches’ hats and pumpkins for you and your little monsters, as fancy-dress outfits are a must. Plus, with Disney Villains taking centre stage to give you goose bumps galore, you will want to impress them, when the party starts.

Unlike many events at the Parks, the parties will also mean you get to experience the parks in ways many haven’t, as the event doesn’t end until 2am. Giving you plenty of time to try and spot Maleficent and her dragon in the Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Tickets are now on sale from £52 per person and can be added to new and existing bookings.

Frozen 2 – 22nd November 2019

Released just in time for Christmas, it’s time to let it go again and embrace the world of Anna, Elsa and Olaf in Frozen 2. Whilst not much has been revealed about the film, we are certain that after watching the Elsa and Anna on the big screen that you are going to want to meet them in person. From the 9th November until the 5th January 2020, Disneyland® Paris will be transforming into a magical Christmas wonderland, as it hosts its annual Disney’s Enchanted Christmas season.

Get into the swing of the season with Mickey’s house band. Dance along with Goofy, as he leads the nutcrackers in the special festive parade and watch the enchanting giant Christmas tree get set aglow every evening. There is also a chance to meet Santa, who knows that there is not a more magical place on earth to spend Christmas than at Disneyland® Paris.

Star Wars: Episode IX – 19th December 2019

Get ahead of the Legends of the Force: A Celebration of Star Wars season, returning to Disneyland Paris in January 2020 until March 2020, by making sure you catch the final feature in the new Star Wars saga. With Kylo Ren seeking revenge for what happened at the end of the last film, it is going to be action packed. Something the whole family can enjoy. Lightsabers may not be advised in the cinema however, so make sure to pack them in your suitcase instead, because Darth Vader will be on hand for the ultimate battle.

Take a trip into Hyperspace. Explore the world of Star Wars with C3PO during a rocky ride on Star Tours: The Adventures Continue and avoid stepping out of line around the Stormtroopers. Whether you have never seen a Star Wars film before or adore them dearly, the final film will make you want to embrace the full force at Disneyland® Paris.

With some of the best Disneyland® Paris deals around, MagicBreaks will ensure that your family has a magical break. From great value Disney® Hotel and Park Tickets to once in a lifetime experiences, MagicBreaks works hard alongside Tinkerbell and co to make your stay the best it can be. Including an exclusive phone call from a very special mouse!

10 things you can do in a day at Disneyland® Paris

Fri, 17 May 2019 15:00:00 Z

There are SO many things to do to fill your days at Disneyland® Paris that promises to create magical memories for you, your family and friends. But where do you start with planning? Look no further! We have put together a list of ten of our favourite things to do at Disneyland® Paris that you can easily squeeze into one day.

1. Breakfast with Disney Characters

What better way to get the kids up on a morning by telling them they are going to have breakfast with their favourite Disney Characters? Enjoy a buffet with a wide selection of pastries, cereals, eggs, smoked salmon, pancakes, fruit juice and hot drinks along with Disney Characters to join in the fun - they will stop for a catch-up, some photos and autographs! This special experience is currently located at Plaza Gardens in the Disneyland® Park*.

2. Disney Stars on Parade

Jump for joy as Mickey and friends glide by on fabulous floats, including a fire-breathing dragon, that tell Disney stories with an extra sprinkling of magic. There’s no better spot then in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, but we advise heading to your desired area a short while before the start of the parade to guarantee a top spot.

3. Star Wars™ Hyperspace Mountain

Located in Discoveryland at Disneyland® Park, blast through a swarm of TIE fighters and do battle with a menacing Star Destroyer in this Star Wars takeover of a classic Disney space attraction. This must-do attraction catapults you into darkness and whizzes you past shooting stars and celestial satellites at a speed of 56 km per hour. Plus, this is FASTPASS® attraction, so you can skip the queue!

4. Sleeping Beauty’s Castle

It won’t take long for you to spot Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, a figure of elegance rising high in the sky at the end of Main Street, U.S.A.® in Disneyland® Park. Take a look around the castle and every day is Christmas in the Disney store located within. But you must be careful of the life-sized sleeping dragon that occasionally awakens, puffs smoke and roars, underneath the main Castle entrance.

5. Lunch with Disney Princesses

I'm sure you will agree that every child's dream is to spend some time dining with their favourite Disney Princess. Through MagicBreaks, you are able to pre-book a special meal in the fairytale surroundings of the Auberge de Cendrillon restaurant in Disneyland® Park.

6. Meet your favourite Disney Character

Take a stroll down Main Street, U.S.A.® and you may just bump into one of your favourite Disney Characters. Meet and Greets are available at selected times daily in both Disneyland® Park and Walt Disney Studios® Park, so be sure to have your phone fully charged to capture the magical moments. Go one better by purchasing Disney PhotoPass™ and Park photographers will take a professional image that you can download to cherish over and over.

7. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™

Only the bravest will dare to enter the Tower of Terror, located in the Front Lot of Walt Disney Studios® Park. Go back in time to October 1939 and experience what it was like when the lightning struck the hotel. Standing at nearly 200 feet, the attraction features several fast drops but on the plus side, you get a gorgeous view of the whole of Disneyland® Paris before your stomach ends up in your throat... Are you prepared for the force of falling 13 floors into the Twilight Zone?

8. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster with Aerosmith

Not for the faint hearted! Located in the Backlot of Walt Disney Studios® Park, listen to Aerosmith play tracks in the studio then embark on a rip-roaring fast rock 'n' roller ride of fun. Accelerating from 0 to 57 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds, makes it the fastest ride at Disneyland® Paris.

9. Buffalo Bills Wild West Show...with Mickey and Friends!

Enjoy live country music in Colonel Cody's Saloon with Sheriff Goofy, before taking your seat. Prepare to defend your ranch in competitions which take place in the arena just in front of you. Sit back and watch how the West was won while tucking into an authentic Texan BBQ.

By pre-purchasing through MagicBreaks, you will save up to £12 per adult and up to £10 per child on the gate prices in Disney Village®. The show is also available as part of the Half-Board Premium Meal Plan which makes the cost even cheaper! We can now also provide Buffalo Bill's show for guests that haven't booked their accommodation package with us.

10. Disney Illuminations

Get your flashing ears at the ready and gaze in awe at Sleeping Beauty Castle as Mickey leads you through the night-time extravaganza Disney Illuminations. Magnificent fireworks, incredible light projections and stunning special effects light up classic tales like never before.

What’s your favourite thing to do at Disneyland® Paris? We would love to know!
