Should you visit Val d’Europe shopping centre?
Visiting the shopping centre could be a great break from all the Disney fun. It’s a great way to shop, buy a new wardrobe, and find things you wouldn’t see at home.
However, a Disneyland Paris holiday is expensive, and you want to make the most of it. Leaving the parks to shop might not be the most economical choice. Especially if you already paid for Disneyland Paris tickets.
We usually visit Val d’Europe when we can’t access the parks or when it’s really busy and the parks are open late. Then if we want to get a break from the crowds, we go to Val d’Europe to eat and do some shopping. Usually, we are back at the resort in about 2 or 3 hours.
