Disney Paris...what do you do when the kids are in bed?

Just that really... We've booked the New York for 4 nights. Friends who've been previously say they end up camping in the bathroom until the kids are asleep.
Obviously wouldn't leave the kids alone but is the bathroom really the only option?
Any advice from others who've been would greatly appreciated!

Sleep!
We would be out in the parks until late -basically until it closed and up again early for Extra magic hours so really wouldn't have much free evening time.

My kids were pretty shattered too so fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillows so wasn't a lot of waiting for them to sleep.

Sleep here too, my DC's are usually late to bed so after a long day its usually lights out and bed all at the same time or keep a lamp on and I sit checking fb etc.

We went when eldest were 6 and 3 fir same length stay. We were so knackered from full on days we just all chilled out after dinner and went sleep early. But then im not really into putting my to bed early on holiday.

We booked the Davy Crockett so they went to bed in the bunk room and we stayed up drinking wine and watching telly!

We have spent many an evening in the corridor outside a quad room though.

Sleep.

On the first day we arrived we went for dinner at 7.30pm and were back at the hotel at 9pm, asleep at 9.30 - all of us.

Second day - we watched the parade and the dinner and back to the hotel. Despite DD - and us - having a nap we were all asleep at 9.30pm again.

We used the early hours and had breakfast before, so up each morning at 7am as well.

Sleep, after kids fell asleep we would get drinks from the bar and have them in our room and read our kindles for a bit. Room was massive.

Sleep, or read on a dimly lit iPad/listen to a podcast in the dark until DDs are asleep, then turn the light on a bit and have a chat
