Any Disneyland Paris regulars? Does this plan work?

Can anyone have a look at our rough itinerary and see if I’ve missed anything obvious 😅 I’m not usually the trip booker and I want to do it all myself if possible and keep the surprise 🤞🏼😊

Mid-March holiday. 2 adults & 4yo.

Fly Sat morning - land about noon and book train when we’re through passport control
TGV to DLP - staying Newport Bay for 1 night room only.
Plan to eat in the village, have a swim & get an early night/explore the hotels

Sunday - move luggage to Marvel Hotel & head to the parks grabbing a snacky breakfast en route.
Quick service food during the day if wanted.
Head to Marvel mid afternoon to get our room, chill, dinner at Downtown at 6pm, then back to the park for fireworks etc - priority access booked for this night.

Monday - breakfast in hotel, DL park day, 2pm Royal Banquet

Tuesday - breakfast in hotel, studios park day/half day, 3.30pm booking at PYM

Wednesday- breakfast at hotel, DL park, character dinner at 6pm at Plaza Gardens, maybe fireworks again depending on how people feel.

Thursday - breakfast & check out, leave luggage and do any final bits we want. TGV back to CDG for 6pm flight home.

Anything else I should book to help make the trip special? Any obvious oversights? Anything that I should definitely be packing? Anything you’d change? 😊
4yo hasn’t used a buggy for about 2 years but I’ve bought a cheap secondhand BabyJogger to take with us as I know there’s a lot of walking involved.

We’ve been DLP regulars since it opened and your plan looks fine to me . Yes you can do it in less days , we tend to do 2 nights / 3 days now and take it very leisurely , but for a first time what you are doing is fine . WRT the restaurants I like Walt’s and Chez Remy but I’m not a big fan of buffets , with the exception of breakfast. We are also past the character dinner stage 😀. Enjoy , your trip .

I think with a 4 year old that sounds perfect, cramming things in with a pre schooler is never any fun.

Have a wonderful time.

@Ducksurprise Yeah that’s exactly what I’m trying to avoid 😂🫠

@Floralnomad I love the look of Chez Remy but when I was booking the restaurants the reviews were awful 🙈 Walt’s does look lovely too and would have been one of my first choices but I know DS will be buzzing and excitable so figured the hustle and bustle of buffets might be better for him lol

Chez Remy is nice. Walt’s was our favourite though.

@Pumpkinseason3 we have coeliacs to cater for so aside from breakfast we avoid buffets because of the cross contamination risk , breakfast at the hotels is usually fairly calm and organised so a lot easier to navigate than dinner buffets .

@Boxachocs Maybe if we get back another time we’ll give Walt’s a go 😊

@Floralnomad Ahhh, I can completely understand avoiding buffets in that situation 😊
Thank for your replies - I’m very excited for our trip and excited to tell DH and DS ☺️😁
