Hi Rachie B. Thanks for that but it's THIS Monday we go so if anyone knows the answers to the questions I posed before then I would still love to know please.... Looks like the weather next week is going to be mild, wet and windy. Shame really - I would rather have it cold and sunny to be honest. We will still take plenty of stuff to wrap up in though. Normally I don't feel the cold too much but so many people have said how chilly it can be so I AM listening.

I used my nationwide debit card all the time I was at eurodisney, that and my credit card. There were no extra charges, the rate of exchange was good. You can even add your card number to the booking in form and then all your purchases can be done via the disney card. I didn't do this in case I lost it :lol:
I took a travel kettle with me, got it from argos for about a fiver in the sale

After many years of promising to take the kids to disney who would have thought that whiplash would make it possible?!? Anyway after a pretty naff compo pay out we are off to Disney on March 5th 2007 for 3 nights so I am after some tips and info.

Firstly, will we need an adapter plug? Sad question but having been to Spain for the past two years our accom had both European and British sockets and we have been spoilt.

2. what is the weather like in March?

3. Is it busy at that time of year?

4. What is breakfast like?

5. Has anyone used the baby sitting service at night time?

PS we are staying at Sequoina Lodge in a standard room (2 ad + 2 ch +1 inf) are the rooms nice?

Myself and my son are going to stay at the Sante Fe Hotel Disney Paris on Jsn 24th for 4 nights. Could anyone tell me if it is correct that the VEA last bus is at 6.55 pm on sunday evenings. As our flight is at 10.25 pm. I didnt really want to go that early. Yes I know I can pay for a taxi, but the last time we did that from thr hotel it cost 70 euro. Does anyone know of any cheap cabs near Disney hotels. Also could anyone tell me how to get to the aquarium as we havent been there before. Lastly if theres anything you can think of to tell me please feel free to reply.

Has anyone had experience of getting a taxi from Nord station to Disney land Paris and approx how much was it. Many thanks.

:D

It will cost you a lot because it's outside the Paris City Limit. Why not investigate getting the RER (Rapid Metro) to Eurodisney - much cheaper and more reliable than getting a taxi.

Last Bus to Orly is 1855 but last bus to CDG is 20:20.

Word of warning though, the buses can get pretty busy and we had to get on a replacement bus (after a bit of hassle) as the scheduled one was full.

Well we're back from our trip and what a fantastic time we had! We stopped at the Sequoia Lodge and although the room was a little too warm for us, I can't fault it in any other way. The staff in the hotel were amazing! I've heard people say that they're not in the least bit friendly or helpful - well all I can say is that I disagree 100%! They couldn't have been nicer. As for the Disney Park, Disney Studios and Disney Village, they are all immaculate! Not to mention great fun! Everywhere looks freshly painted, everywhere is spotless and again the staff are the best! I'm sure they get paid to be polite but I don't care - they made our stay memorable for all the right reasons. Back to reality with a bump this week I'm afraid.... :( The only downside were the prices - 6.50 euros for a pint (and that was the cheapest we found). Food prices varied so you can get a reasonable deal if you look for it. To be honest, I expected nothing else but naugty prices so we took enough money to cover. Luckily it was only me and t'other half - God only knows how much it must cost with kids.... but if you're wondering whether to go for it or not, my advice would be absolutely! If you have as good a time as we did, you will remember it with fond memories for a long long time to come! :wink:

Hi all,

It feels like ages since I started organising our trip to DLP - and now its all over! We had a brilliant time.

I'm thinking of going back for the 15th anniversary - there seems to be quite a few new attractions being built for that.

Hi all

We booked Disney Hotel Cheyenne for the 13th - 16th March and can't wait, I'm gonna love it, I mean the kids are gonna love it.

We got really cheap flights from Doncaster to Paris orly and when we looked at Orly there were the VEA coach transfers so we thought they'll be no probs. Having digged a bit I can't find much info on getting to disney from Orly other than these coaches and they are only every hour.

There are 7 of us (4adults 3 kids), anyone been to Orly and done Disney from there who could give us any advice/tips, i.e. Taxis, coaches, trains, buses.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

We are going to D.L.P 9th-13th April with leger holidays.

There are 2 adults and 3 kids (14,12,7) and we are staying at the explorers.

Can anyone please tell me what the weather should be like temperature wise and what the queues will be like?

It is the week after Easter Weekend but still school holiday time.

We are very excited and have just ordered the brochure online so will hopefully get the DVD!!

Any help really appreciated.

Hi Kelly,

If you can find the time, scroll back to page 1 of this thread, and read it all. Some of the earlier posts are from a couple of years ago, but we just got back from our first visit to DLP last month, and all the advice from the posts on here is still relevant.

I was there during half term in Feb, and it was quite busy - you will need to use fastpass for the popular rides (queues were up above one hour for Buzz Lightyear, Peter Pan, Space Mountain etc while we were there). The Studios were far quieter than the main Disney Park, but we still managed to do everything we wanted in both parks.
