Early morning mist still clung to the streets of Paris, with the shadows of trees on the Champs-Élysées stretching across the cobblestones. I stood by the window, watching my two children still lost in the glow of last night’s Disneyland fireworks, their eyes full of unfinished dreams. I had always assumed that taking kids to Paris would be an exhausting undertaking, but this journey completely reshaped my view of family travel. Especially since we chose a family ticket package from PGL, which not only eliminated all the hassle of planning but also opened up a joyful and delightful adventure for us all.
1. From Planning to Departure: Why I Chose PGL’s Family Package
I had long dreamed of showing my children the romance of Paris and the magic of Disneyland. But just the thought of flights, hotels, tickets, transport, and queues was enough to make me hesitate.
One day, while browsing online, I came across PGL‘s family ticket package. They combined city sightseeing in Paris with an in-depth Disneyland experience, including accommodation, meals, transportation, and entrance tickets—all under one roof. What impressed me most was their understanding of family needs—carefully planned daily schedules, kid-friendly meals, and even fast-track access to certain attractions. All my worries seemed to melt away.
The booking process went incredibly smoothly. PGL‘s customer service tailored the itinerary based on the size of our family, the ages of the children, and our interests. Their attentiveness far exceeded my expectations. Just like that, our family of four was off on our Paris + Disneyland adventure.
2. Three Days in Paris: A Perfect Balance of Museums and Sweets
1. Getting to Know Paris: Starting from the Seine
We arrived on a Saturday. PGL had thoughtfully arranged a timely and comfortable airport pickup service. From Charles de Gaulle Airport, we headed straight to a charming boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Montparnasse, which offered spacious family suites designed with comfort in mind. The kids couldn’t contain their excitement and cheered loudly when they saw the cozy bunk beds waiting for them in the room.
That afternoon, we boarded a family sightseeing bus provided by PGL, accompanied by a professional Chinese-speaking guide who made the experience both informative and engaging. Our route took us from the iconic Arc de Triomphe to the magnificent Louvre Museum, then to the elegant Place de la Concorde, and finally to the historic Notre-Dame Cathedral by the Seine River. Along the way, the guide handed out fun and interactive quiz cards to the kids, sparking their curiosity and making the city’s rich history come alive as we explored together.
2. A Treasure Hunt at the Louvre
The next morning, PGL had arranged a special “art treasure hunt” guided tour for children. The kids searched for “a woman who can fly” and “a sphinx with no nose” inside the Louvre, giggling all the way as they unknowingly learned about some of the world’s greatest artworks.
Meanwhile, my partner and I took the opportunity to slow down and use the audio guides to admire the Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile and the grace of the Venus de Milo. Thanks to the thoughtful planning, the kids didn’t get tired, and we adults didn’t feel rushed—PGL’s concept is that every family member should enjoy their own version of Paris.

3. The Taste of Paris: Dessert Classes and Macaron Tea Time
In a quiet alley in Saint-Germain, we joined a dessert-making class organized by PGL. A French home chef taught us how to make macarons and crêpes. The kids put on aprons and picked up whisks for the first time—the concentration on their faces is something I’ll never forget.
Afterward, we sat together on the kitchen balcony, sipping hot chocolate and enjoying the sweets we made, while the chef shared childhood stories of Paris. This kind of intimate, family-style exchange is something ordinary group tours simply can’t offer.
3. Four Days in the Magical Kingdom: Disneyland Is More Than Castles
1. Tickets, Hotels, and Transport: One Package for Total Peace of Mind
From the city center of Paris, PGL arranged for a comfortable private coach that picked us up right on time and drove us directly to a Disneyland partner hotel. The journey itself was smooth and stress-free, with onboard entertainment and bottled water prepared for the kids. Upon arrival, we were delighted to find that the entire check-in process had already been completed in advance—no paperwork, no waiting in line. Our room was filled with Mickey and Goofy décor, themed bedspreads, and even Disney storybooks on the nightstands. The kids were ecstatic from the moment they walked in, bouncing on the beds and pointing at every detail.
Our tickets covered both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios. We used PGL’s “multi-day family pass,” which included Fast Pass privileges for top rides, saving us from many long queues—especially important under the blazing heat of July. The convenience of having all logistics handled meant we could focus solely on enjoying the magic with our children.
2. A Deep Dive Over Four Days: Not Just Play, but Meaningful Experience
On Day One, we dove headfirst into Disneyland Park. We started with the whimsical “It’s a Small World” ride, a gentle, musical journey that immediately captivated the kids. As the day progressed, we screamed with joy on the thunderous Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and ended our evening watching the enchanted Sleeping Beauty Castle light show, which felt like a true fairytale finale. Thanks to PGL, we had VIP seating reserved, giving us an unobstructed view and a stress-free experience amid the crowds.
Day Two, we headed to Walt Disney Studios. The highlight was the adrenaline-pumping “Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain,” where we soared through galactic darkness. The Pixar-themed areas were filled with colorful sets and life-sized characters, perfect for photo ops. The children especially loved using PGL’s custom mobile app, which not only showed real-time wait times but also recommended kid-friendly activities based on their preferences—a smart, interactive guide that made exploring seamless and fun.
Day Three, we chose a slower pace. We took the charming Disneyland Railroad that circles the park, enjoying a relaxing view of all the themed zones. In the afternoon, the kids attended a creative workshop where they made their own Mickey ears and princess crowns. We returned to the hotel for a restful nap before heading to a special lunch organized by PGL at a Mickey-themed restaurant. There, Disney characters like Goofy and Minnie came to our table for hugs and pictures. The laughter and awe on our children’s faces during that meal were perhaps the most touching moments of the entire trip.
On Day Four, before checking out, we made time for one last magical memory—the dreamy character parade. With music, dancing, and dazzling floats, it was a joyful farewell to our magical stay. PGL’s exclusive park exit route allowed us to avoid the post-parade crowds and smoothly hop onto our return shuttle to central Paris. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to end the Disneyland chapter on a high, hassle-free note.

4. In Reflection: What PGL Got Right
As our seven-day, six-night family journey drew to a close, I sat on the plane home, reflecting on everything we experienced. Choosing PGL was, without doubt, the best decision I’ve ever made for a family trip.
Here’s what impressed me most:
- Scientific pacing: Unlike rushed traditional tours, PGL understands the rhythm of family travel. Each day’s itinerary considers children’s stamina.
- Child-friendly design: Whether it’s the sightseeing bus, guided tours, or meal choices, PGL pays great attention to what suits kids.
- All-in-one service: Tickets, hotels, and transport were all included, so we never had to stress about logistics—ideal for busy parents.
- Excellent communication: From booking to in-trip support, PGL’s Chinese-speaking service team was professional and warm, handling even the smallest issues quickly.
- Not a traditional “group tour”: They function more like “custom family travel designers,” offering a flexible framework with plenty of freedom.
- Great value: Compared to booking everything individually, PGL’s bundled prices were actually more affordable—especially during peak seasons.
5. A Journey—and a Shared Bond
The romance of Paris isn’t just in the night lights on the Seine; it’s also in the macaron your child holds in their hand. The magic of Disneyland isn’t only in the castles and fireworks; it’s in the sparkle in your child’s eyes as they whisper, “Thanks for playing with me.”
This trip taught me that family travel isn’t about how many attractions you check off, but how much of your heart you bring into experiencing the world with your children. And PGL—they were the perfect support behind that heart.
We’re already planning our next PGL adventure: a family expedition to the Lake District in the UK. Perhaps, it will be another chapter where childhood and growth meet in a magical embrace.
