Kate’s European Adventure, Part 1: Disneyland Paris and the Start of an Epic Disney Trip (Ep 117, Part 1)

What happens when you combine Disneyland Paris, a few days exploring Europe, and a Disney Cruise Line sailing through the Norwegian Fjords? You get one pretty incredible 16-day European adventure.In Part 1, we’re joined by our friend and fellow travel advisor Kate to talk about how this trip came together, why her family decided to pair Disneyland Paris with a Norwegian Fjords cruise aboard the Disney Dream, and what it was like taking their first family trip to Europe.Then we unpack their time at Disneyland Paris. Kate shares what felt familiar compared with the U.S. Disney parks, what felt completely different, their stay at Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel, how Premier Access helped them make the most of a shorter-than-planned park day, and the attractions and experiences that stood out most. From Phantom Manor and Hyperspace Mountain, there were plenty of moments that made Disneyland Paris feel distinctly Disney while still offering something new.We also talk about an important part of planning their trip: navigating Disneyland Paris with celiac disease. Kate shares how her family prepared, where they felt comfortable eating, where the experience fell short compared with Disney destinations in the U.S., and why advance research was so important when traveling internationally with a food allergy.And this is only the beginning of Kate’s trip. In Part 2, we’ll board the Disney Dream and head north for a seven-night cruise through Amsterdam and the Norwegian Fjords, including the experiences that left Kate ready to return to Norway tomorrow.Support the showConnect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wanderlustandwishespodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wanderlustandwishespodcastFor interest in vacation planning email us at: [email protected] fill out this quote request form: https://forms.gle/ZmN8C2akheQabF7B7
