Disneyland Paris

madscouser69

Morning guys. We were planning on a trip to Florida next year but we are going to put it back a few years and go for my 50th. Instead we have just booked 5 nights in Disneyland Paris for March next year(which just happens to coincide with their Star Wars event, now I wonder how that happened)

have any of my fellow giffgaffers been to DLP. If so please let me know your best tips. What are the best rides. How do the full board passes work. Is it busy in March and do we need to book restaurants??

we are not going to tell my boys until we wake them up on the day we are traveling and we are going to book a call from Mickey Mouse to announce it to them. Cannae wait. 🙂

I've being to both Paris and Orlando one prefer Orlando obvisouly it's far bigger, but the Paris one is good, most of the rides are good, not sure about the full board passes, we didn't stay on the park, we stayed in Paris and bought a 2 day full park pass, and got the Disney express to and from it each day, we were there for a week it'd only being open about a year so we took the kids for the two days like I said, but stayed in Paris as wanted too see Paris also as my hubby and kids had never seen it, I had but love the city.

The only thing I know about Paris in March is it can be very cold.

To get you in the mood from my fave album.

That sounds amazing, the boys will be well chuffed. Never been to any of the Disney Parks but they do sound good fun.

@madscouser69 This will be exciting for your boys, how old are they?

We went 8 years ago, my son was 4 he loved it.

Went to DLP when it first opened many years ago, was okay, weather did spoil it, rained all the time. Been to Orland three times. Enjoy your time there, its like being a child again

madscouser69

My lads will be 8 & 4 @hdavey17

Love Orlando and I have been am5 times before kids. Even spent my honeymoon there 🙂

They are perfect age! We stayed in DLP for 3 nights. It was probably one night to long to be honest. But still had great time.

It is busy and expensive (30euros for a burger...) and there can be a 1h queue for everything, including restaurants. The staff is nice though. Everything is better from 7pm onward when the youngest kids are in bed.

Whoohoo. Our passports have arrive. Not too long to go now. Planning on a reveal to the boys on the Saturday before we go. Cannae wait 🙂

madscouser69

That's the meals booked and the transfer done, now time to get shopping for the ears and Tshirts for the reveal 😉

Sounds great. Bet they will be very excited.ive never been

madscouser69

30 days and counting now and getting so excited myself, the boys still have not got a clue.

I have made a video to reveal the surprise to the boys, all done star wars style, then cuts into me and the wife announcing it to the boys followed by a few Disney vids with the characters 😉

Lots of clothes and stuff delivered at the weekend so can't wait. Just hope the boys will love it as my friend did a reveal to her son and he threw a hissy fit saying he hated Disney...Gulp

madscouser69

Whoohoo, this time next month we will be in Disney 😉

I've never been to Disney, Paris @madscouser69 but I've been many times to Orlando. (I used to own a timeshare next to the Animal Kingdom. ) It is brilliant, especially for kids but when you are there everyone's a kid again.

Having said that I have a friend that has been many times to Orlando too but they are actually in Disney Paris this week and they are highly rating it, they are staying at one of the hotels on the park.

It's just made for fun so I'm sure both you and your boys will enjoy it 🙂

@scrips49

Thanks buddy, I have been to Orlando a few times and I absolutely love it there, planning on taking the family for my 50th in a few years

We are staying in disney so looking forward to the early hours in the parks 😉
