paris eurodisney? anyone been?

[nailpolish]

all of a sudden i think this sounds great

all my life have hated the thought of disney, but read a brilliant write-up in a paper and it sounded amazing.

just want to hear from others who have been, which hotel did you stay in, how much did everything cost etc

thanks

Jan, we did enjoy it, and we are going back again this year. But, for us, two days would have been ample.

At that time ds was 3 and tbh the best bit for him was us crossing Paris in the Metro train!

I'm hopeing at 6 he will get a bit more out of it

I'm also planning a fun day in Paris, Notre Dame, boat ride on the Seine, quick trip in the Musee D'Orsay, Eifel towr, dinner and home to collapse in the Tent!

Oh yes, we enjoyed it too, I just wondered if we had somehow walked too quickly or something!! Maybe its to do with queue times too. We didn't queue for anything!

OOOH we love it!! Just waiting for Cresta to put on their extra free night offer and we'll be booking for Dec again! Kids adore it and we loved all the excitement. We stayed at newport bay which was lovely - the bedrooms were spacious enough for the 4 of us and breakfasts were great. tehre was a mini bar in the room which we emptied and refilled with our own cheaper booze and kids drinks! We go with cresta as we can use our tesco vouchers with thema nd get 75% off!! Last time it was £520 for the 3 nights B&B and we drove so we could load the car up with cheap booze on the way back! Kids love the ferry and we didn't fancy the nightmare of London to get on the train.

From Scotland - my parents coming this year and they're flying from Prestwick on a nice cheapy flight! Check out any cheap deals from Aberdeen. It's dead easy from the airport to the park.

We were happy with the food for main meals at Disney -ate at The rainforest cafe twice - kids like the animals - and we also ate at king Ludwigs cos we had a voucher - fab! Lunch stuff was crappy fast food. Took our own cartons of juice, snacks etc.
We couldn't afford to go without using the Tesco vouchers but you have to book the holidays as a whole package to sue them. So if you have enough vouchers, book it as a self drive as it's the ceapest option then just book your own cheap flights from bonnie Scotland. taht's what mum and dad are doing.
PS December is a fantastic time to go - all Christamssy and magical!

We are off in 10 days I am so excited. Going on the thursday by train, and leaving Monday night. I have waited and waited until my kids would get the best out of it (they will be 5 and 7 - b'days in Disney ) since I am only planning one visit

We got an incredible deal as we had millions of airmiles to use up (OK 7,000) so the whole thing inc train was £186!! and 7,000 airmiles I booked last July to go in March!!

nail polish your cheapest option probably would be to get a cheap with the likes of ryan air or similar.

I live in Scotland too and the train seemed incredibly expensive. If you book standard packages with the big companies they will charge you flight suppliments for flying from Scotland, often the suppliments alone are more than a ryan air flight.

I only went the first time because my Niece won a competition and asked me to go with my DS who was 4 at the time. I wouldn't have considered it before. Anyway, I admit it I loved disney. On my 3rd visit me and DD left DH and DS to go on the big rides in the Studios section and went back into the original park. We skipped up the main street to the castle listening to the awful piped music but we were both grinning from ear to ear. Hairs on the back of my neck and a wee tear in my eye just remembering it. Even small world makes me smile just watching the kids faces.

The scenery and sets are very convincing and all adds to the magic of it, its very clean and the only bad thing that sticks out is the food is crap, you need a credit card deposit to hire a buggy (not handy when its in your Newport Hotel room) and if you take your period its hard to find the place that sells tampax and paracetemol .

I want to go back (again).
