Disneyland Paris Tips

[DavidUK]

We're going to Disneyland Paris next week for 5 days staying at the Seqouia Lodge Hotel. Anyone got any tips please - anything we should know etc?

Hi, we stayed at the Secquoia Lodge in Jan this year for six days and it was lovely. You'll probably find more Q's than we did because it's half term so make sure you use Fast-trak [book the rides before hand]. Breakfast can get busy...book early or late sittings.... Walk to the park [go out the back door to the hotel and round the lake and feed the ducks [ nick the rolls from breakfast...lol]. Being there for 5 days gives you loads of time to see everything, so relax and take your time. Must Do's are.... Moteur Action, dinner a Cafe Mickey [a little expensive...but so worth it"!], oh, and sad as it may seem, McDonalds is a life saver if you want to keep your food costs down![and you can get a beer in there!!!] Don't forget your swimming stuff as you have a pool there as well. The hotel...not MaccyD's!!!
We had a fantastic time...hope you do too!

Thanks Lisa. Some useful tips there. Our two lads are getting really excited about going. Double the pleasure for me because the in-laws are paying for it all as a special treat!

Excellent....mine was paid for by my ex..... so I know what you mean...lol How old are your boys? My daughter was only 8, but loved the really fast rides and like I said don't mioss Moteur Action, especially if you've got boys!!! One other thing, even on a budget I still managed to spend �800....so beware!!!

Hope you have a great time!

�800? Shock/horror! That did include hotel and entrance didn't it? Although ... the in-laws have said they don't want it to cost us anything!

My boys are 8 and 12. The older one had a day at DLP last year during a school trip to Paris and loved it. He will head straight for thundermountain! The scarier the better for him.

erm.... 'fraid that was purely spending money!! I did go all out though, Hot air balloon ride, portraits of the kids, dinner at Cafe Mickey, soft toys and an outfit for my little girl [that alone was �65 :oO]... we also took to train to the shopping village and went to the Aquarium....don't bother with that unless you're really bored....add to that food, sweets and the amusement arcade in the hotel...oh and the Disney Pin badges and it soon adds up!

ps....knew there was something that I forgot....sitting in the bar chatting up the rather sexy barmen...lol...erm, but you won't need to do that so you've just saved yourself a small fortune....hehehe

[DavidUK]

Gasp! I don't think I will be chatting up the sexy barmen though, and if there are any sexy barmaids I don't think my wife will be happy if I spend a fortune in the bar while chatting to them!
