is 2 days not enough?

2 days is enough for a taster - but if you're visiting DLP in the week which includes 31st October, it will be very busy, as most European countries have school holidays that week.

You won't be able to see/do everything at DLP in 2 days in school holidays.

me and df went to disney about 10 years ago, before we had a child. we went by bus. arrived in the evening. we then had 2 days in the park, leaving at midnight on the second day, and traveeled home through the night. we really enjoyed it , and i think we saw most of it, although if we had children there probably would have been more to do (and studios wasn't there then). That was i think on the august bank holiday weekend (although we were probably helped by the fact it was pi***sing it down all weekend , lol.
This time we are going back with dd (aged 3) and we are going to go on the eurostar.
the coach trip is a very long journey, although when we went we were the only ones on the bus without kids and all the kids were very well behaved.

there are a couple of options within walking distance - the train station at the gates of DLP has a little convenience store inside which has drinks/snacks much cheaper than in the parks. There is also a garage/filling station right outside the Santa Fe hotel which has a shop, again you can get drinks, including alcohol, snacks etc here cheaper than in the parks.

Our first trip was only 2 days and we didnt get to do half the rides, meets n greets in the main park and didnt even enter the studios.

Yeah I would recommend more than 2 days on a first visit. We're taking our toddler this year. Its his first time, but as we've been before, we are only going for 2 days.

Just a last question if I may? Is the Auchan supermarket I keep hearing about for fuel etc easy enough to find? Hoping to just send OH out to refuel before coming back and he will not go unless its easy :rotfl:

No.
I'd use the garage on the way out of disney, the prices are quite reasonable, unless you really want to go to Auchan.
