Sponsored – This is why Disneyland Paris is also great fun for mom

Disneyland Paris existed for 30 years last year and that will be celebrated until September 30, 2023. The famous resort in France has been providing children and their parents with magical days for years, so reason for a visit. Kek Mama’s Lara traveled to the resort to discover the reason behind this magic. Result: more than enough reasons why Disneyland Paris is also very worthwhile for mom.

When you go to Disneyland with your family, you usually spend most of your time keeping an eye on your offspring and you probably get the greatest pleasure from the fun your children are having. Going alone (or with another adult) can suddenly make you appreciate things that will make you appreciate your visit even more in the future.

Live shows that will leave your children speechless

Joop van der Ende eat your heart out, because the productions behind the shows in Disneyland are not sickening. A huge cast with changing actors and actresses who appear on stage several times a day. Including beautiful costumes that are all made by hand in the studio behind the Disney parks – now there are about 30,000. And don’t think there’s any playback; everything is live and timed to perfection. The shows are delightful for all ages and give you a moment to catch your breath between all the rollercoasters and Disney characters. That is why an extra recommendation for parents with overactive kids. They will be quiet and the eyes will sparkle.

Recommendations from Kek Mama:

• Mickey and the Magician: a homage to several Disney classics. Feast of recognition and a surprising and interactive decor.
• The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands: the first ‘AAAAHHH ZEBANYAAA’ will give you the nostalgic jitters.
• Warriors of Wakanda: watch out, before you know it you’ll be joining the warriors of Wakanda.
• Avengers: Power the Night: according to show director Arnaud Feredj, this fantastic show with 500(!) drones is not about narrative, but really about emotions. You can tell, because you fly from amazement to extreme joy. This show can be seen again from September 1 to November 5, 2023.

Charming Heroes (for Mom)

Be careful not to run off with a Marvel character. Come face to face with your favorite superheroes at the Hero Training Center at Walt Disney Studios Park. And let them look exactly as you expected: heroically handsome. If the children have been photographed, there is also room for their own tête-à-tête with, for example, Thor. By the way, you can meet your favorite Disney heroes in both parks. Take a picture with Mickey Mouse in Meet Mickey Mouse or spot Donald Duck and Pluto in the wild, among others.

Swing with your inner child

Who is waving most enthusiastically to all the characters on the famous Disney Stars on Parade? The parents – or their inner child – themselves! Before you know it you have a lame arm and you’re disappointed when Goofy just doesn’t look your way. There is also a 30th birthday show (Dream and Shine Brighter) in which surprisingly danceable and rousing songs can be heard. Just stay still during Un Monde Qui S’Illumine and Ready for the Ride!

Surprisingly culinary

It’s not just junk food in Disney. Certainly not. At restaurants like Captain Jack’s – and no, Johnny Depp wasn’t there – you have delicious menus that many chefs can still enjoy. You can also make reservations at many restaurants and you can easily prevent ‘hangry’ children (or mothers). By the way, try the cocktails at your hotel after a long day in the park. Great sleep!

Pro tip! PYM kitchen: hungry heroes recharge their energy in this experimental lab restaurant with delicious food in all sizes! Here you will find an outsized delicious buffet where ingredients are reduced and enlarged with the PYM Particle technology of Ant-Man and The Wasp. Can you eat a hamburger the size of your head?

Moment of discharge

Do you want to scream? At the Monsters Inc. attraction you will find real scream monitors. Ideal for blowing off some steam. You mainly see parents going wild here.

A Kiss Goodnight

On Instagram you get something of this every now and then: the fantastic fireworks and projection shows Disney D-Light and Disney Dreams. Together, these two evening shows provide a magical end to your day at Disneyland Park. The makers call this moment ‘a kiss goodnight’. There are always children in buggies, who close their hatches before the end, but how fantastic is it to end your day at such a moment?

All in all, Disney makes sure that your stay in the park is magical for everyone in the family. Keep an eye on Kek Mama’s Instagram for more Disney inspiration!
