Can anyone help me with Disney Paris?

[gregssausageroll]

We are considering a couple of nights in November. May be 3.

On the website I can book dining but I am not sure it is worth it for our needs. Breakfast is supplied at Santa fe and I plan on taking butty boxes to make lunch from the breakfast buffet so that leaves snacks (I can bring cereal bars and crisps from home) and dinner.

So dinner is the only meal unaccounted for. Ds I would imagine will be tired st the end of the day so a buffet or something super quick is probably best. When he is tired he gets fidgety and won't sit so a 3 course sit down meal won't work. So I don't think a dining plan is worth it and we should just pay for dinner as we go. Any thoughts?

Also I can get Santa fe for about £350 for 3 nights and £334 for 2 nights so staying an extra night is feasible. Does this sound a reasonable price to those who have been? It includes park tickets according to the website but no travel. Easyjet fly to Paris so need to tie that in.

How do you get from airport to Disney?

Thanks for any help you can give.

It will be as cold and wet in november as it is in the UK so be sure to take warm stuff. We went eurostar direct to disney which with young kids was the easiest option. found that disney make it harder to raid the breakfast area for use later on than other places so be aware (especially as it wont be that busy and you will be visible) that it might not be as easy to do.you can eat on the park - food is OK if a bit dull but that would be fine for a couple of days. Not as horrendously expensive as i thought it would be so long as you can manage burgers, pizza, pasta etc.,Dining plans are rarely worth it if you look at other forums on this. Quite a lot to do in 2 days. how old is your dc

He is 4. Can't do eurostar as coming from Scotland.

Have a look on trip advisor. They have an entire dlp forum.

Also the breakfast buffet is for breakfast, not for making your lunch. Never get why people try and do this...

Trip advisor says it is very common and everyone does it. I am sure I read that on here too!

The breakfast at Santa Fe is rubbish and the queue massive. The food all over Disney is rubbish tbh.

Train gets you right to the gates of Disney.

Fair enough, I just wouldn't choose to set an example to my children about how I expect them to behave by stealing from a buffet. If you don't mind then fine!

We went in february and i would really advice paying for the half board if like me and my DD u dont like pizza and burguers. Sitting down for a nice buffet was welcome in the cold :)

Go to the cowboy cookout, the food is nothng special but lots of characters going around the tables.

Also buy snacks in the train station on ur way to the park. Much cheaper than inside. And take some dress up clothes from here (so expensive in disney dlp).

We never took food from breakfast apart from the odd piece of fruit but u c a lot o ppl doing it.

Sorry I should have said dh and I don't eat til lunch so sort of taking breakfast with us

We got sandwiches from the train station on the walk from the hotel to the gates. We did eat at planet Hollywood once but was busy and expensive. Food inside was lots of burgers and hotdogs which were expensive but ok.

Went last year for three nights. TBH the food thing really not a problem, just don't plan on many salads, fruit and veg can be had at breakfast. Is only a few days, certainly did not spend the mega bucks on food I had been worried about.

Thanks scrablet.

If you are planning to eat at buffet type places I would recommend getting the half board meal plan vouchers. They are usually set prices for the buffets so around 22-25 euros for each adult, a bit less for children. If you are happy to just eat burgers/hot dogs/fast food places then I'd say to do without the meal vouchers.

Also take want you like from breakfast. Its not stealing, you have paid for it. My DC always walked out from breakfast with a roll in one hand and a piece of fruit in the other, to snack on later in the day. Plenty of staff members saw them do this and none of them ever told them it was not allowed.

We have never found the queues big at the Santa Fe breakfast but we always go for an early slot so we can get to the park for the Early Magic Hours, it is usually getting busier by the time we leave though. We went half board and ate one in the Cowboy Cookout so the kids could meet the characters and once in the Plaza Gardens buffet which we enjoyed. We were there between Christmas and New Year and used our half board vouchers at lunchtime so that we would stay fuelled up to help us keep warm and the sit down in the middle of the day was very welcome at that time of year, in the evening we either had cup a soups/instant noodles and a buttie in our room (took our own travel kettle but we drove so had that option, think you can hire them from reception) or horror of horrors a McD's in the Village I believe that the character dining is coming to an end at the cowboy cookout though and not being relpaced by anything :( I think its Nov/Oct time so it would be worth checking that if you were hoping to do it. If you go to the DLRP site linked above and go to the forums you should be able to find out in the Trip Planning topic and the people there will be able to answer just about any questions you have :)

Hello, we're going to Disneyland Paris on the 3rd November, we had half board plus meal vouchers but choose against them in the end, as you say, after a long day at the parks etc, a 3 year old won't sit for 2 hours waiting on food, well my 3 year old won't anyway! ;) were staying in hotel new York, so plan to have a good breakfast, maybe have a hotdog/sandwich etc for lunch then maybe somewhere like part Hollywood/ anette's diner or caseys corner for tea, (they don't accept the vouchers) you can't book at the 3 places u mentioned, but from what a few people say, eating at about 5.30pm it's fairly
