a good long while ago- while we were travelling students- the character breakfast is a rip off- eat anywhere but disney itself- it will bankrupt you!

In france the cheapest and nicest way to eat is to find a local restaurant and take the 'set' menu- less than 6 quid usually for 3 courses

My niece had a character breakfast with Cinderella booked as a special treat for her 5th birthday - she screamed with terror on sight of her and hid under the table whimpering the whole time, only coming out once Cinders had gone.... she's 13 now and we like to embarrass her with this story

Hopefully your dcs are made of sterner stuff

#We had a character tea which was better for dd - it means you go to tea in one of the restaurants and have a buffet style tea and the characters all just mingle around and work their way around the room to see everyone. That way it's not wasted if they get scared!! The parade is fab, 4pm every day down main street. Find a spot at about 3:30. Next to a bin is handy so they can stand on it when the floats come past! There is an awful lot to do and see. The Lion King show is free and fantastic.

Who are their fav characters/movies?

anything to do with disney princess!!!! totally mad about them, i cant wait to see there faces when we get there but i don really know anyone who has been so i really appreciate anyideas people may have.

Ooh then you have to get to the princess meet and greets.... If you look at the castle head on from main st, just to the right, there is a kind of platform and at a certain time every day, there is a princess there doing photos and autographs. I think that was my dd's best bit of the whole time!!

Don't think cheap tickets exist tbh nor places to eat nearby (apart from Mc D's) -all pretty much of a muchness. dd also freaked at the characters at the breakfast but we had furry ones not Princesses which would have be better. You'd need to research who would appear at which venue carefully to ensure that. If you take one in the park itself you get in earlier than the gate opening time so, if you time it right, can eat and be at the front of the queue for the popular rides when they start up.

walts on mainstreet was surprisingly fantastic food at reasonable price.

we just went to eurodisney this easter. And the princesses were hanging out just next to Small World. There were 3 when we went, Ariel, Snow WHite & Sleeping Beauty (including their princes) and the new 15th anniversary parade (at 4pm) had a big princess bit. If you get a spot near the beginning (Small World end) the princesses leave the float and do a dance.

we got tickets from Unpackaged Attractions which were slightly cheaper. Also had some Paris tours etc.

oh, we also did dinner at Cafe Micky in Disney Village. Which had surprisingly good food and the characters show up. You have to book though -- we did it on Tues for the Thurs. If you get a multi-day pass, you don't have to go consecutive days.
