Just got back from Disneyland Paris, and we had a really great time.
We stayed outside the park at Pierre et Vacances and had a two day pass to enjoy the park and then spent some time in Paris itself.
I noticed that I had saved about £1600 by booking my own flights (Flybe) accomodation via Expedia and by buying my tickets direct from Disney on the internet. I don't know how happy I'd be to spend so much on a Disneyland hotel,especially as eating in the park was expensive.
The best rides were Big Thunder Mountain, Rock and Roll Rollercoaster and Pirates of the Carribean.Don't miss Honey I shrunk the audience and the Stunt show spectacular, both were really amazing experiences!
We ate at the Blue Lagoon one evening but the food was disappointing for the cost. Save your money and eat in Paris in the Latin Quarter one evening-Much better.
We used a really good guide called "A Brits guide to Disneyland Resort Paris" which was really good.
Other tips I'd give are Wear comfortable shoes, and don't go on Saturday or Sunday because Parisiens do fill the place up at weekends.
Go and have fun, and don't forget the romantic city itself!

It was a dream - especially for a 5 year old disney fan. Travelled to Paris for 5 days and combined Disney for the last 3 days of our Holiday. Together with my husband and 5 yr old daughter we had the time of our lives.

Disney is Disney - you have to live the magic and will become a child once again. It is rather expensive, but we were prepared for it and budgeted our costs prior to going there. We had a very good breakfast at Santafe, which is an excellent Hotel and ideal venue (very cheap compared with the other Hotels). Grabbed take-away fast food for lunchtime and dinner and managed disneyland park in 2 days and the studios on the 3rd day.

Reading other tripadvisor comments, we took their advise and headed off to the rides early, exactly at the opening times we were already in the park. Managed to do the majority of the rides between 09.00 and 11.00 am - no queues whatsover at the early hours. You will then have to wait in lines later on in the day, and had to really rush around from one ride to another in order to make the most out of it. Shows are NOT to be missed, especially Lion King and Tarzan - excellent performance.

Staff were very helpful and English language is used by all. The park itself was very clean and even the rest-rooms smelled of sweets!!!

Another tip for disney character lovers - do not queue and run after the disney characters whilst in the park. We only queued for the disney princesses, which are my daughter's idols as you do not see them anywhere else in the park, apart from the parade. All the other disney characters will be waiting for the kids in the Studios between 09.00 and 09.30 am. We walked in the Studios on Sunday morning at 09.00 am and found all the characters literally waiting for the kids. No queues, no pushing - managed to get autographs and photos with ALL!! Whilst in the park, the characters couldn't even move with the amount of kids (and adults) pushing for autographs and photos.

Walt Disney Studios is a must for cinema lovers. Both my husband and myself are big cinema fans and loved the park. We highly recommend the Train Tour, Cinemagique and Armageddon and above all the Motor Action Stunt Show - it was amazing.

Do not bother to shop during the park hours. The shops are crowded at all times and you need to queue to pay. Get to Disney Village after the park closing hours and souvenier shopping can be done at ease. Same prices everywhere in all shops - don't try to shop around!

Fantillusion and Wishes are marvellous - the lights / laser show and fireworks are the 'cherry on the cake' for a beautiful disney experience.

Will definately return to Disneyland Paris, but we will prefer having 5 full days instead of 3. This way we can manage to do both parks a little bit in comfort instead of rushing from 1 ride to another. We ended up to be exhausted in the end, but did not mind at all - had a wonderful time!

Disneyland Paris is a great holiday for the whole family! But there is one thing to remember-- it is in FRANCE, not the US. By this I mean that you can not go there thinking that you will have the same experience in France as you would in the US. You won't. And you will probably end up as disappointed as some of the other reviewers seemed to be.

Here are the differences:
1) People smoke there. People still smoke in France (and then some), so there will be people smoking at Disney.
2) The characters are often (but not always) not as warm and cuddly. French people are not as warm and cuddly...
3) Customer service is not as good. No country in Europe has customer service as good as in the US. I am an American living in Europe, this is a fact that I have come to accept.

The only truly bad aspect to Disney Paris is the food. It is extremely expensive, which is also the case in the US, but it is AWFUL. Really bad.

All's said, Disney Paris is STILL a great place to take the family, just don't forget that it is not Disney Orlando or Cali. It's French with all the 'charm' that goes with their culture.

Not what I had expected having visited the 2 American theme parks. Found Disney Village to be smelly (greasy cooking smells) dirty and very expensive.
Walt Disney Studios and the Park were passable. There were very few members of staff visible - no characters unless you went to allocated place and queued to see them. Very few sign posts -and map not that reliable.
Several of the restuarants were closed as were drink stalls. Goods in shop were expensive - a small bottle of water 2 euros (so take it in with you.)
Some of the rides were closed - no information as to when they were to be reopened.
The only thing they got right was the free shuttle bus service to and from hotels.
If you need to go 1 day will suffice and 2 at the most.
