Never been but they have a good few deals on atm.
Is it any good? Will I end up with some hyped up girls who will be "I want" the whole time??

Also which hotel is best? There is so many, but dont know how we would get there to the park?

May well just end up camping

Personally I'd wait till DD2 is 4 or 5. But it is very good.

Dunno about hotels as we slept in the car park. Take your own Minnie Mouse ears as well as they cost 14 euros! Think they're £5 in the shops here.

7 year old will love it - the three year old maybe a little young and certainly to short to go on the rides.

how tall is your 7 year old?

My dd was 10 when she visited the second time and still loved it - at 7 years old she was tall enough for some of the rides but not all, and she was tall for her age.

it depends what you want to do? my dd1 loved the rides but I just loved all the other stuff

lisad123wantsherquoteinDM · 06/01/2010 16:49

the ranch seems like a good idea and its in on the offer right now. Is there a shuttle bus or something? I wont be driving, properly get euro star.

marymotherofcheese went to an inexpensive motel near the tube, cos I told her it was near a hugh hugh carrefour where you can eat or get stuf to take back to the room - therefore keeping the price downa dn the tube is cheap as chips straight to the DW park

liliputlady · 06/01/2010 16:58

I think it'll be magical for both of them - we took both our dds when they were 3 and they loved it, as they really believed they were meeting the actual characters. I would avoid the school holidays or even weekends if at all possible!

Ivykaty44 · 06/01/2010 16:59

torcey was the area, i stayed near there in a campsite - they aslo had cabins to hire and ran a bus to the park - or we got the tube which was not to far to walk to.

lisad123wantsherquoteinDM · 06/01/2010 17:02

oh like campsite, sounds better for us, especially for DD1 who hates changes and I wouldnt know what was or wasnt in the holiday. Could take our camper

Anyone info please link, would be very grateful

well we were in our camper, I also managed to direct all the way around parish without going wrong.

I shall go and see if I can find the campsite.

lisad123wantsherquoteinDM · 06/01/2010 17:16

here

click on the unionjack

they still do mini bus to disney and it is easy to get the tube to paris or disney aswell aswell should you want to visit.

The carrefour is really good and drove around the side, as we are to tall to go under barrier, we could shop and put everthing straight in the frideg or eat

GothDetective · 06/01/2010 17:21

If you have a camper stay in the car park! You're allowed to and there is a shower and loo block open 24 hrs. Loads of motorhomes and campers.

we loved it. FAntastic hol. 3 nights and 4ish days was just right.

roisin · 06/01/2010 19:09

I never fancied it at all and refused to take my boys. Finally went last summer with a school trip and I loathed it: over-commercialised, over-crowded, overpriced, horrid "Disney happy happy music" all over the place, YUCK! The hotel was OK though.

now im confused, would it help to say I loath butlins but we love Centre parcs/camping or a quiet cottage by the sea?

OP posts:
roisin · 06/01/2010 20:14

I loathe butlins, love camping or quiet cottage by the sea. Center Parcs was OK - the boys loved it, but we think it's overpriced and would rather not go back again.

I like theme parks and big rides, but Disney isn't about that so much - the rides are secondary (and the queues are long). Disney is about Disney: you get Disney rammed down your throat 24/7 round every corner. The music in particular is just inescapable - I'm shuddering in horror now just remembering it.

pointydig · 06/01/2010 20:52

ach, we thought the rides were great. You big sour puss

lisad123wantsherquoteinDM · 07/01/2010 08:38

thanks vachekiri, I have saved that to our fav to look inot for camping, do you knowhow far it is to drive once you reach france??

As for disney land I guess we will look and talk and see further. Im still very 50/50 as to if we will enjoy it and also how much £££ it will be with "extras"

About 6 hours driving plus stops from Calais which we did in one go, which was fine as it was so relaxing once we arrived we forgot the drive. There is also a farmshop on site so we didn't have to go out again for food.
