Disney Paris - cash / credit card - how much?

Jet

I'm off to Disney Paris in a few weeks and have been wondering how much cash to take with me.

It will be me and a 9 year old. Not including souvenirs, I'm thinking I'll need around £150 - £200 for lunch and dinner for 3 nights / 4 days. Does that sound about right?

We intend to eat at Buffolo's bill's wild west show one night and cafe mickey another night. The rest will need to play by ear.

Also, I don't like the idea of carrying around all my cash - will the hotel have a safe in the room? I'm staying at the Santa Fe. If not is it better to use a credit card or will I incurr a load of charges or get a bad exchange rate?

Thanks.

I reckon you are about right, buffalo Bills will be around 100 Euros, £70, for you both Chef Mickeys has a guide price of 25 Euros, under £20 p.p. so theres £100+ for 2 meals, there are cheaper places so should be able to find somewhere to keep it near to or within your budget.

If you pay by credit card the shop/restaurant should give you the option to pay in Euros or ££s, it is best to pay in Euros and let your bank change it to ££s. Any charges you do incur will be negated by the better exchange rate the banks offer, so the amount you pay will be similar or better than cash. I spent 41:75 Euros in Calais last week, cash would have conveted to £30:53, credit card charged in £s £30:25, cc in Euros £30:11 so not much in it either way.

All outlets (except street carts) will accept debit/credit cards even for small amounts.

Charges depend on your credit/debit card provider. Probably the worst are Lloyds who'll charge £1 per transaction plus a percentage charge. Probably the best is Nationwide who'll charge no fees at all.
