Disneyland Paris

the half board plus vouchers are well worth it beacuse of the poor exchange rate. but i would go for a character lunch or dinner with the vouchers and not the breakfast as ur breakfast is included in the hotel.
the vouchers can be used at face value also so cafe mickey for example is a character meal and i thoroughly recommend it. half plus vouchers r exchanged for 25euro i think and then u can pay the difference. some restaurants the whole meal is covered.
r u there 3 nights or 2 as u have to buy vouchers for every night but u can use 2 in one day say 1 at lunch and 1 at dinner.
they can be used in rainforest cafe or planet holywood. we were there in sept and used them and it does save money and i would get them again

Buy the half plus vouchers it works out cheaper in the long run, I was in DLP on the 11th to the 15th Dec. Food is very expensive because of the exchange rate, eg 2 hot chocolates and 2 crepes in the park was 10 euros. a bag of candy floss 3.5 euros. I bought water and bottles of coke at the airport and took them with me, also apples mandarins crisps and chocolate. Made a little snack pack,2 breakfast rolls with ham and cheese a drink, crisps and fruit, worked a treat, they check the bags going in but no one said anything. Saved lots on snacks. It was very cold and I think it still is so pack layers, gloves scarves and hats a must. we took our ski jackets. lots of kids there in ski suits. we ate in billy bobs in the disney village on our 1st night, . a buffet all you can eat thought it was ok. we also booked christmas dinner with mickey at that time and it was excellent so I would think about booking a meal at a show. Hope some of this helps, we had a great time.

Hi

I was hoping some of you good people - could give me some helpful advice, tips on visiting Eurodisney in August

I am staying in a Campsite near Paris (La Croix du Vieux Pont) and intend to visit Eurodisney on one of the days.

Can you tell me if one day is enough for eurodisney, or would I need two to be able to see it all?

Fast passes - any advice/info.

Food/snacks, can we bring some in in our back packs - (there is 4 of us going 2 adults and 2 kids)

Finally the best places to buy the tickets for the park, or is it better just to buy them when you arrive on the day.

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Would suggest u bring ur own food -- we went last year and weren't impressed at all with the choice or quality of the food.

There is a mc donalds just outside the gates of eurodisney in the disneyland village with similar prices to what you'd normally pay. No one seems to stop you bringing in food or drink, but they do check bags for glass. The fast passes are free but its first come first served, you go to the ride and press a button to get the fast pass for that ride, it gives you a time to go on it and you can only have one fast pass at a time. One day was enough for me, but I was fast at getting around the rides, with small kids who daudle it could take a couple of days. Enjoy.

you can take your own food in as long as you dont have loads. i would say you would defffo need 2 days. i have been to dlp twice for 4 nights both times and i still didnt have long enough. if you go for 2 days then you can have a day at each park

We are just back from La Croix du Vieux Pont. Had a brilliant time and so will you. The original plan was to go there and make a day trip to Disneyland. However when we couldn’t get the camp site dates we wanted to match our flights, we decided to spend the first 2 nights/3 days in a Disneyland hotel.

This can start at £250 and includes day passes. Remember the offers of under 7’s going free and if that applies in your case it could save you a fortune.

Tot up how much it would cost you to travel to Disneyland Paris from the campsite for your party and compare it to the cost of staying in a hotel with day passes and the benefits that brings. I am so glad we didn’t bus it in and try to do loads in one day. Also, if you are staying at a Disneyland hotel, you can get into the park from 8am (2 hours before most other people) where some bits of the park were open.

We had 3 small kids all under 7 with us and there is a lot of walking in Disneyland Paris so 3 days were just right to get on everything we wanted to without killing ourselves.

I thought eating out was really dear but it was as about as bad in the campsite as it was in Disneyland. It was €70 for 2 adults/3 kids for lunch in a Disney Village restaurant (chips+burgers) and €70 for an evening meal at a restaurant in the campsite (which wasn’t special). My wife likes mussels though and they were a lot cheaper (€9).

The gps brought us to “auberge le relais brunehaut restaurant” not too far from the campsite and that was €90 (all the courses) but it was arguably the best meal I have ever had and is in a fantastic setting. Well worth the extra compared with the campsite place.

Seek it out and thank me later.

Have been looking into going to Disneyland Paris - there is loads of info on the holiday forum but just wonder about going form Northern Ireland and what way folks on here have travelled.
What is the cheapest way to go ?? fly into Paris or fly into London and go Eurostar.
Also the hotels seems to be for 2 adults 2 children but we have 3 children!!
Anyone any ideas or info please...........
