Going to the land of princesses in August, I have dd's age 6 and nearly 4 and a ds who will be nearly 8 months by then, intend thread elsewhere for general disney hol advice but feel free to give me what you have now! But I specifically started this thread as am wondering....
What buggy good for euro disney. We are flying and am thinking a maclaren as have fab sun coverage and sturdy but not too pricey and could use for keep in car after ( hav phil teds dot at present) but don't really want take it on a plane, love the seat for ds comfy and the extra seat handy for storage of three kids worth of c&£p ( stuff .... I mean) :-)
What else? Should we just hire a buggy there?
Can you hire ones for older dcs? Eg my nearly 4 yr old walks v well but she will get pooped three days trailing about all day on foot and I want the dd's to enjoy as much of park as poss without cutting it short or stopping loads, Tia

I'd hire one. They look quite sturdy. Good for a 4 yr old too.

My brother & sil took my nieces when the youngest was 4. she was knackered after a day of walking so on day 2 they hired a buggy. It was a good size and she looked more than comfy in it.

My brother and SiL hired one there for their 4 year old. It was sturdy enough to hold their lazy 8 year old a few times.

However, if you're looking for a recommendation....my BabyJogger City Mini GT has just done its 3 holiday in 18 months and it really is the perfect pushchair for travelling with, IMO.

As above, hiring buggy is a great idea. They can be used between parks at at the Disney hotels.

My top tip would be in Marne La Vallee Metro Station (right beside the Parks) is an excellent convenience store with affordable drinks, lunch options and snacks. In the village, the McDonalds has free wi-fi.

There are two play areas in Disneyland (pirates or frontier land) which offers peace and quiet from all the queues.

My 4 year old loved the Playhouse Disney (Winnie the pooh etc) & the Stitch shows in Disneystudios.

Finally, the TGV takes 12 minutes to get from the airport to Marne La Vallee station. :)

Excellent thankyou I thought hiring would be good idea, and thanks bobby for the food tip, we are half board so need the cheapest poss food options in the day I guess and I'm told food is super expensive there.

I think it's 15 euros a DAY to hire a buggy, so I'd take your own. They don't have doubles so you'd need to hire two.

There is a sizeable deposit if you want to take it between parks or back to the hotel.

If you do take your own I'd suggest a bike lock as it's been known for nicer buggies to go missing.

Thanks Bernice for the info on deposits, will def take x1 buggy for the baby, eg to use in airport etc so at least would only need hire one then if it's that's expensive.
