Hello!

I know there are mixed views on this but we have booked the half board meal deal for when we go to DLP in June to help us budget and me to be able to have a holiday as well! Having looked at Trip Advisor a few restaurants are not good, but can anyone recommend anywhere lush to eat (I'll check if on basic Meal Deal) or anywhere to point blank avoid?

Also, does anyone know if we can use our vouchers towards the WildWest show as it includes a meal - or which is best Cowboy Cookout or Wildwest..doing on day 2, so kids get to meet the characters and the we dont queue for them at all!!

Many many thanks all

You don't meet the characters at Buffalo Bills but if your lucky you might see Mickey. Cowboy cookout is poor value for money you are better off eating at Cafe Mickey as they have great character interaction there and the food is nicer and can be cheaper depending on what you order. We ate at Cowboy Cookout and it was the worse meal we have ever had and we've visited DLP 5 times in the last 4 years.

Thankyou...I'll have a look at Cafe Mickey as well. We can exchange our half board voucher for a meal there for that day anyway.

Oooohhh....first timer and am getting SO excited.

Thanks for the help emweaver, think I'll just stick to the basic dining plan & eat at buffet restaurants and if funds allow, pop to Cafe Mickey for a couple of pizza's on our last day!

We are going to Disney next week :eek: and thanks to Sky we have 4 tickets for Friday but none for Saturday. Can anyone tell me where is the cheapest place, at this late stage, to get 3 adult tickets for next Saturday 5th May? My niece wants to get signatures where is best to get the signatures?

Hubby & I want to take her into Paris on the Sunday but we need to be at CDG about 7pm that evening. What would be the best way to get into Paris from Hotel Circus and then back to the hotel to collect our luggage and then travel to the airport for 7pm?

I have never left the planning of anything to this late before and never will again! I am reading as fast as I can but obviously not fast enough. I still have to book the car park and travel insurance yet! :eek:

Try FNAC for one day tickets - €41 for 1 park tickets or €53 for the 2 park hopper. You have to buy 5 days in advance and can print them off at home...we used them for Buffalo Bills tickets recently with no problems.

You can take the RER (train) to Paris from Marne la Vallee - get the shuttle bus from your hotel to the parks and the station is right there. Adult prices are about €7 each way or you can buy a zone 1-5 day ticket for around €15 which will also allow you unlimited bus & metro journeys whilst in Paris. Not sure about child prices - will depend on how old your niece is and there are also some quirks where some ticket types are 1/2 price for children and others are not.

The journey takes about 40-45 mins each way so make sure to allow plenty of time to get back and collect your luggage before heading to the airport.

You could consider taking the bags with you and putting them in a locker at one of the stations in Paris, then taking the RER straight back from there to CDG without going back over to DLP - depends on which option you think is the least hassle and how you were planning to get to the airport.

My niece celebrated her 12th birthday last week.

I never heard of these lockers before. Which stations have them? What size do them accomodate - can they hold suitcases? How much do they cost and who do you pay? Where can I get more information about them?

Sorry for all the questions!

Three one day two park adult tickets purchased and printed, total cost €160.50. It cost €0.50 extra to print each one of them at home! :j

Thanks! :j :money: :beer: Can you tell I am happy?!? :rotfl:

At 12, I think your niece will be classed as an adult on the train / metro so prices will be as per my earlier post for all of you.

It's only the main train stations in Paris which have luggage storage. The best for you would be either Gare de Lyon (on RER line A which you would take coming into Paris from DLP) or Gare du Nord (on RER line B which you would take going out of Paris towards CDG airport. There is some info here although I'm not convinced their pricing details are correct - we didn't end up using them in the end but I'm sure when I looked the prices were per locker, not per hour as suggested.

Edit: More info here on locker sizes and costs.

I cannot find the timetable for the RER going from Disneyland to Paris although I can find the Paris to Disneyland RER timetable. Does anyone know where I can find the RER timetable for Disneyland to Paris as I have spent hours looking for it? Can you purchase the Paris Vista passes at the airport or could I purchase them online before I go?

I found it, http://parisbytrain.com/files/2008/07/rer_a_schedule_la_defense_s-s.pdf
