Help Please. 1st time to DLP am staying at Santa Fe 26th - 29th Jan. Can you please help with timings and restaurant choices. I have took half board option and have selected the restaurants but am unsure as to what time we will be eating, what time do the parades finish / park shut? after the parade is that the end of the rides and attractions?

Hi,

Here are the park times for January -
http://www.dlrpmagic.com/calendar/?m=200801

There are a few parades - there is one every day in the Studios at 1.30pm.
There is also the Casey Jnr character express, which is 3 times a day in the main park, last one is I think around 1pm. The main parade in the park is at 4pm. The rides are open all through the day in both the parks and the studios, from opening time to park closing time. At the close of the main park every day, there is Candleabration, which takes about 15 minutes, so if you stay to watch that (its lovely) you'd be leaving the main park around 20 minutes after the official park closing time.

Try leisure direction, or if you happen to work for the NHS, or the forces amongst others, try Forces Travel. We used them for our trip at Christmas and they were really helpful.

Hi
eldest came home at the weekend to say she had the opportunity to go DLP the week after next :yikes
Been looking through the posts but need an idea of how much money she will need for food and some ideas of the best places for her and her friends to eat. She is 14 and staying 3 nights at the Newport Bay
Thanks, Lally

Hi - I take a school trip of teenagers every year and the most popular place to eat is - surprise surprise - MacDonalds!! There are plenty of fast food placed in the Magic Kingdom - burgers, pizzas, hot dogs etc. Macdonalds is in Disney Village. There are also some all you can eat buffet restaurants for about 25 euros - eg Billy Bobs, but that probably would seem expensive to a 14 year old.

McDonalds is definately the cheapest place to eat at and as the other places are mostly fast food it is the same type of food,if buying bottles of soft drinks or sandwiches then the shop inside the railway station is cheaper.I hope you get better weather than us as we were there last week and it rained every day.

Thanks both
I am sure that McD's is where she will gravitate to :smile:
I am hoping £30 a day will cover it

Hello! Off to Disney next week. Can anyone tell me whether there is an evening parade with fireworks etc? Or if there are any special palns for Valentines?

Hi,

There are no evening parades or fireworks at Disneyland Paris, outside of high summer season, Halloween night, and the Christmas season (the evening parade that is, but no fireworks until New Years Eve).

I don't know if there is anything specific for Valentines - if you look on the DLRP Magic site that might give you an idea?

Hi, Our friends are going to Euro Disney later this moth and wil be staying at the Cheyenne Hotel which they have been told is a 10 min walk to Disney, please can anyone clarify this and also any info about getting there from Charles de gaul airport. Is there a shuttle bus, and if so how frequent are they, how much do they cost and how near to the hotel does it stop?

any info gratefully received.
many thanks
Sue :)

Hi Sue,

Yep, the Cheyenne is one of the onsite hotels at Disneyland Paris, so its within 10 minutes walk to the Disney Village, another 5 minutes from there to the main gates of the Disneyland Park. Its a very pleasant walk too.

From Charles de Gaulle, there are a few ways they can get to Disney. The most convenient, if they are arriving at the airport during the day or early evening, is the VEA shuttle bus. This departs very regularly (about every half hour) from each terminal at the airport, and takes about 45 minutes once you've left the airport, to get to the Disney hotels (it drops off at each one). The cost is 17euro per adult, 13euro per child.

There are other ways of getting from the airport, including the high speed train and a private shuttle transfer.

If you need any more information, I'll try to help. I'll be going on my 4th trip to Disneyland Paris next month :D .

Ooooh lucky you, staying in the Disneyland Hotel!

I found this - it has pictures of the bedrooms at the hotel -

http://www.hotels.co.uk/hotel-france/hotel-chessy/disneyland-hotel/

All Disneyland Paris onsite hotels are built with rooms for families of 4 in mind, so you will have ample room for your party. I don't know if there is a fridge in your hotel room (we've never been lucky enough to stay at the Disneyland Hotel) but I would imagine there would be a mini-bar type fridge - best to check if you will be charged for removing items from it though if you're thinking of using it for your granddaughters milk. If you explain the situation though, I think that will be fine. You can buy milk very reasonably at the train station just one minutes walk from the main gates of the Disneyland Park.

I'm off to the Magic in 2 days time - hope you enjoy your trip too!
