    i always take cash but others im not sure, i mite use my card this time though to save changing money back after.

    you will have spare clothes anyway wont you but if not sure just buy a poncho to keep dry.

    does anyone know the best way to book your meals and when to book the tables. i have the free meals so gonna make the most of it and use them all if poss even though my little brother will only eat rice.

    Does anyone think it would be best to buy Traveller's Cheques beforehand or just exchange cash for euros? I don't know what's best. I haven't been abroad since I was a child so I have never organised a trip abroad myself.

    Also, do you need any changes of clothes/towels for water rides? Oh and does the hotel provide towels anyway, and a hairdryer??

    Thanks.


    Cash will be fine.
    TC's will just be a hassle.

    There aren't any water rides where you are going to get absolutely soaked, so don't worry about that.

    Yes, Disney hotels provide all towels.
    You will have to ask reception for a hairdryer, and its free to borrow.

    you can book tables for restaurants with the concierge in your hotel when you get there, or just walk into the restaurant on your way past.

    Or, you can ask your travel agent or whoever you booked with to do it now - thats what i have just done for Feb half-term.

    We go by car so I usually take some euros for the toll, and food en-route, then I just use my Visa debit card in the cashpoint when I arrive, and then take out cash as I need. Cashpoint is all in english as well.

    If yu wait until you go you may not get a table or may not be able to eat when you want. We didnt book Inventions on our last night until that morning and had to wait until 9.15pm.

    You can book a table uptp 2 months in advance by ringing 0033 (0)1 60 30 40 50.
