Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

Hi All

I'm looking at booking DLP for November mainly to see the firework display, I could book the week after the firework displays (8th) for £100 cheaper is the Firework display really worth seeing?

Also I know the dates of the Firework shows but does anyone know what time in the evening the displays start? Are there any night parades in November?

I'm thinking of timing our visit so that we have a couple of weekdays and a couple of weekend days will the park be open later on a weekend in November?

Thanks in advance :-)

if I were booking for start of Christmas season, I'd go 5th or 6th until the 8th or 9th - best of both worlds - fireworks display over the lake on 7th, weekend late opening in the main park (usually until 9pm or 10pm on weekend evenings) and Monday/Tuesday to make the most of the very quiet midweek days for all the rides you could wish to do .

Also I know the dates of the Firework shows but does anyone know what time in the evening the displays start? Are there any night parades in November?

there is a rumour that there will be no evening parade this Christmas season at DLP (starts 8th November this year). The fireworks over the lake for bonfire nights usually start at 9pm.

I'm thinking of timing our visit so that we have a couple of weekdays and a couple of weekend days will the park be open later on a weekend in November?

be aware that every weekend is mad busy at DLP, unless its a Francillien annual pass blackout date.

Thanks in advance :-)

hope this helps, we've been midweek in November, very quiet in the parks, lovely and Christmassy. But I have to say the fireworks over the lake would sway me to do the last of them and have the start of Christmas season included in my trip.

Hello, I did Disney last Dec (with all the snow) with 2 kids and heavily pregnant. We stayed at the Cheyenne and had a lovely time.

If I am not wrong, luggage goes straight to the train if you book Eurostar as part of your package. If not, it would be an extra charge of £16 per person, I think. Best to stash them at the hotel's luggage and pick them up before you are ready to leave.

2) have requested adjoining rooms but have not requested no somoking or a rio grande do i need to do this through agent or straight to hotel?

Can't advise on this but if you have a stroller or limited mobility, request for ground floor rooms. I grew tired of going up and down stairs especially after a full day out in the park

3) Cafe mickey can I book from home before I go......

Cheyenne is lovely; especially the Western themeing. I did get a refurb room and it was clean and comfortable.

There is a Disney store onsite which sells drinks, crisps and other small provisions - quite handy. For a kettle, you have to leave a deposit of 22Euros at Reception. If you have a small travel kettle, bring that. Bring your own teabags, sugar sachets (I purloined some from McDs) and snacks.

If you don't fancy a full buffet lunch or feeling a little peckish, the Red Garter Saloon does bar snacks like pizza, nachos or hotdogs which are quite alright quality and price-wise.

For breakfast, I would say go as early as possible. We usually walk all the way through to the big hall at the rear, let one of us sit with the kids whilst the other go and gather food for the group. It is after all, continental with pastries, cereal and fruit. Get extra Nutella sachets to bump up the chocolate croissants :rotfl:

If you are thinking of using the Magic Hours in the morning, do not take the shuttle bus. It is manic in the morning and you may have to wait for another bus. Best to walk straight to Disney (about 15min walk away) It is a lovely walk by the Canal and you go through Disney Village as well. Plenty of photo opportunities.

Wear comfortable shoes!

Hello
We are thinking about taking Kids to Disney Paris after 15th July to spend 5 days around Park and then would like to go and See Paris City for two..
2 x Adults
1 x 3 year old
1 x 1 year old

My question is How to plan the Paris City visit along with Disney bit.
Is the city sights are far from Disney?
Will it be wise to book a hotel near Disney all, say, 6 nights and still able to visit both place from that hotel?
Do you know any such Hotel where both places can be visited.
How the park tickets works?
How many different kind of disney parks there? can you visit them on One ticket?

Any advice thanks.

A train in to the centre of Paris would take you approx 30 mins.

Stay in the place you think you'll want to spend most of your time.

Do you know any such Hotel where both places can be visited.
We always stay by Disney, & catch a train into Paris if we want to visit. The train station is located right by the entrance to the Disney Parks so you can stay in any of the Disney hotels, accredited hotels or hotels in Marne le Valle area & still have easy access to Paris.

How the park tickets works?
How many different kind of disney parks there? can you visit them on One ticket?
There are 2 parks located in one area. Disneyland & Walt Disney Studios. You can get 2 park tickets for 1-5 days. There are also party tickets offering 4 days for the price of 3, & 5 days for the price of 4. But it might work out better for you to buy annual passes instead.

Any advice thanks.

Hope that helps

hi. just wanted to know if anyone knows how checking in works in davy crockett ranch? we might have 4 adults and 3 children in our group and i do not know if 7 people will be allowed? kids are aged 6, 6, and 3. do they check how many are staying and are they strict on the numbers? from what i have read, this place allows up to 6 people. any info will be appreciated. thank you

balletshoes

first problem you have there hersheys is that you will only have park tickets for 6 if you have only booked for 6, so what is the 7th person going to do for park tickets? where is the 7th person going to sleep?

for insurance/fire regulation etc purposes (just like every other hotel/resort anywhere) Disney need to know how many people are booked into each of their rooms/cabins. Any person aged 3 and upwards counts towards the occupancy of the rooms/cabins, so you won't be able to book 7 people into a 6-person cabin.
