Spending Money @ Disneyland?

Mimi_Arc_en_ciel

Hi everyone - Wondered if you could help.

We have booked to go to Disneyland in October for 3 nights/4 days, There are 4 of us - 2 adults, 2 young children.

I've paid for Breakfast and Evening Meals each day

The plan is to spend at least 1 day in Paris visiting a museum (We plan on leaving after breakfast and returning before the evening meal) on the trams

I was planning on taking around £1000 for spends (I doubt we will spend this and hope to bring some back! But I'd rather have it just in case)

So - For those of you who have been - Could you please give me a rough idea how much you would take?


Also - I'm planning on splitting it 50% Euro's 50% on a prepaid card - Does this sound sensible? never had a prepaid before

Thanks!

£1000 sounds fine for 4 days if you have meal plan ive only been to paris city centre before and its really expensive, me and my wife went for an indian just had a starter and main each and think it was two drinks each and the bill was 240 euros

^^ That's just scaremongering; it totally isn't normal to pay that in Paris for what you describe...

So your accomodation, transport, evening meals and breakfast are already paid for? Park tickets? I can't see any reason you'd need anywhere near £1000.

WIthdraw from ATMs rather than get EUR in advance, get a decent card -see the "cheap travel money" link above

But you can do of course, some restaurants are ridiculously expensive (and the curry would probably have been nowhere near as good as a UK one - why anyone from the UK would want an Indian in France is beyond me :rotfl:)

But there are excellent value places too if you avoid the tourist traps - we found a small traditional cafe about 1km from the Eifell Tower where we had an excellent 3 course lunch for about EUR50 for 4 of us.

Seems like plenty of money; I though also advise taking a good card and taking out the money you need from the ATM.

Paris can be expensive, but if what the person said above was true 99.9% of Parisians wouldn't eat at all.
Good value places are available away from the tourist traps, and even in the tourist traps McDs and similar exist........ :P

to be fair it was a very nice curry

Fair Deal Though, it will do good.

AHH i wasnt aware of the ATM's (been a long time since ive been on "holiday" abroad - usually only go to EU for work and they pay for everything in advance lol)

Yes - Accommodation, transport (Expect the tickets into Paris) and park tickets are paid for as is the breakfast and evening meal - So i really hope £1000 will go far

Thanks!

Sounds like you will have plenty. Its better to go with too much than not enough, so sounds a good amount to me.

Fixed it for you.

I would say better value places are available away from the tourist traps. We have found that, in general, France is an expensive place to eat out when compared to the UK.
