Hi we are off to Disneyland Paris a week tomorrow very excited - I have a few questions if anyone can help me :

1) How much spending money do you think we will need we 2 adults and a 4 year old going for just under 3 days - we have breakfast included at the hotel but eating out for every other meal. I was thinking £500 for food, tolls and gifts would be enough but didn't want to take too little?

2) Is it a good idea to make a rough plan of what to do and when or just decide when we when get there?

3) We are staying in the Magic Circus hotel but have the fantasy annual passes - do we get the extra hours and free parking with these?

4) Where is a good place to buy duty free perfume (we are driving and going by eurotunnel?

5) We will probably eat our main meal a bit earlier - 4-5pm then have a snack later on - are the restaurants quiter at this time? was unsure whether to book?

Might think of some more questions later? Thanks in advance for replies x

I'm sure that will be fine.


2) Is it a good idea to make a rough plan of what to do and when or just decide when we when get there?

yes, the parks will be busy when you are there, so plan around 3 or 4 things per day (parades, rides, shows etc).


3) We are staying in the Magic Circus hotel but have the fantasy annual passes - do we get the extra hours and free parking with these?

yes, you do.


4) Where is a good place to buy duty free perfume (we are driving and going by eurotunnel?

you don't get duty free coming in or out of the UK to France.


5) We will probably eat our main meal a bit earlier - 4-5pm then have a snack later on - are the restaurants quiter at this time? was unsure whether to book?

its a busy time to be at DLP, so book your restaurant tables.

hope this helps.

That helps a great deal thankyou - one more thing on another website it says to get in for the EMH you follow the signs that say Disney Hotel Customers to get in early - what if you are staying offsite but have annual passes - do I still follow these signs?

Hello all

DW and I are taking our 5 year old to DLP for the first time on September 15th and we will be doing 2 days.

We're really trying to do this on a budget and have a local cheap hotel booked (with great reviews ) - and I'm finding planning this a bit overwhelming, considering I have never been before (but it could also be, because I am pregnant!)

How can I find out what rides are suitable for DS (5), so we can target them.

Can we eat inside, on a budget?

Are there any other online resources for planning your trip?

Thank you all in advance

2ba3c, I'm sure balletshoes will be along to offer her excellent advice shortly, but in the meantime, the following are good sites for information:

runningman has given you 2 great websites to start you off. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. 5 is a great age to be going to DLP . Most of the parks shows/rides/attractions will suit.

The food inside the parks at DLP are generally expensive, but theres an Earl of Sandwich and a Mcdonalds in the Village area (10 minutes walk from the gates of the parks). They are the best value options if you are on a budget. Annettes Diner, also in the Village, is not bad either (you can get an idea of the menus/prices etc on the DLRPMagic site). You are allowed to take food into the parks with you, so you could pop into the little convenience store and bakery just inside the entrance to the train station, which is right next door to the DLP park entrances, and pick up sandwiches/crisps/pastries etc.

The burgers in videopoli in discoveryland aren't badly priced.

Are you travelling by car from the hotel?
