HELP! Eurodisney Virgin

:eek:

Hi there,

I'm off to Eurodisney in October with my 9yr old and haven't a clue where to start! Could anyone recommend a guide book to help us get the best out of our time there (without wasting any!). Also, does anyone know how the Fastpass system works? Do you have to buy a one-off ticket or get one at each ride? I feel I really need to plan the trip to ensure we don't just wander aimlessly around all day.............

    Not been to eurodisney, but if its the same as florida one, I would say get there early and do the big rides first, if you are staying in disney hotel you get pass to go into park before others, use the time to go on rides that are popular.

    You wont wander aimlessly! Theres too much to do!

    Fastpass works by inserting your ticket at the special gates near to the entrance of each ride and you get back a fastpass ticket with a time on it to come back. Can be useful, but I have found that October is quiet and not always necessary for fastpass.

    Eating out is expensive, but something to cover every taste - and McDonalds is always reliable!

    I personally think that you wont need a guide book - just start at the begining and work your way round. Its no where near as big as Florida, so you can do it all in a day really. And if you do need one, then any would be great - try some from your library before you buy though to find one that suits you.

    I would recommend the Peter Pan ride. Okay, so its for kids, but its Disney Magic at its best!

    We took a DLP Guidebook but found the staff in the tourist information office at the entrance to disney were more helpful esp. if you want to visit anywhere else in the area. They have free information leaflets on the main tourist attractions. enjoy!

  • Yup. It hasn't been called Eurodisney for 10 years. It's not even called Disneyland Paris anymore.

    It's now Disneyland Resort Paris. :)

    We've been several times, you'll love it!

    Take a look at http://www.dlp-guidebook.de/index_e.htm it gives you loads of information and tips.

    Also http://www.dlpfoodguide.com/ gives you reviews about all the eating places. It will give you some idea of which places to avoid and which definately not to miss!

    I personally don't think that a guide book is needed - it's not that big, however, I did just borrow a few from the library before our first trip just to "gen up" on the place.
