Disneyland

Advantages: Just about everything! Kid friendly and unforgettable
Disadvantages: cost of food

...Disneyland is situated in the countryside, about a one hour drive from Charles De Gaux airport. If driving from the airport to the resort, it can be a little tricky to find, with many winding roads and few landmarks. If travelling on the Eurostar, the shuttle actually takes you to within three minutes walking distance of the park entrance and closest hotels. The whole of Disneyland is breatakingly dreamy, a true fairytale land for all ages. Before you arrive at the actual park and huge pink trademark castle, there is a long road filled with a variety of helpful little shops. As well as the expected sweet and toy shop, there is a handy little camera shop, who will copy your memory card onto a disc for about ?5 if you need to free up some space. The park itself is divided into seperate themed areas, which makes it all incredibly...

Review of Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris

Advantages: Excellent park and great staff
Disadvantages: No shuttle bus between Davy Crockett ranch and Disneyland Park, and food

...Disneyland Paris was an extrememly good holiday for me and my family. There were five of us, including one disabled and the facilties were generally very good. For my sister, who is disabled, it was relatievly easy to find suitable rides and not have to wait in the long queues for a while, unlike everyone else. This was good, as it is hard for her to stay still in enclosed spaces for too long (such as the queues), and a 'blue' card, which can be enquired about at information enabled four people to go to the front, or nearer the front of queues rather than wait, which made life for us a lot easier. The card could be used on every ride and if you are travelling with a disabled person, you should definitely ask about one at an information point as soon as you get there. Unfortunately for us, we did not know about this until queueing lots...

Review of Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris

Advantages: Fun for all ages, excellent atmospere
Disadvantages: Very expensive, not alot of toilet/baby changing facilities

...I have just recently came back from Disneyland Paris Resort. Well what can I say WOW. What a fab time was had by all the family. This was a family trip which included a range of ages from 18 months to a grand old age 60 year old. And I am pleased to say that there was something for all the ages concerned. I would say that the 2 very young ones did come a litle restless from waiting in ques. And yes some of these ques were a fair wait. Ranging from 30mins to 70mins. But the 6yr old throughly enjoyed every minute even the new Hollywood Hotel Terror ride. This is not a cheap holiday places I would advise if you are to go take more than enough cash, as things are very expensive. But never the less its is worth while going. The resturants in the parks themselves mainly consist of fast food which is alot more expensive than usual...

Review of Disneyland Paris

disneyland 2007

Advantages: kids will never stop dreaming about the magic here
Disadvantages: can get busy at certain times in the day

...hi there we have just come back from a fantastic 2night,3 day visit to disneyland paris and i wanted to share our fantastic experience with you all. Firstly if you are going to visit then go between now and march 2008 as kids under 7 go free including hotel stay and the 15th anniversary parades are magical. GETTING THERE We decided to drive so booked with P&O and did the dover to calais crossing and then it was very much straight forward,u just follow the signs to paris which are clearly visable from the moment you get out of the calais terminal,you then hit a motorway which until we hit it we did not realise it was a toll road(it cost 19 euros from calais to paris)which is around £13-£14 pound which may sound pricey but it was so quiet and straight forward it was worth it.Once you get near to paris you pick up the disneyland signs...

Review of Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris fun for all the family

Advantages: Great close alternative to US theme parks
Disadvantages: Not as 'Disney' as US counterparts, ot cheap!

...Disneyland Paris opened in 1992 and was the first Disney Park in Europe. I was lucky enough to visit the park in 1992 and have returned several times since. Since you could write a whole book about Disneyland Paris I have just picked out some of my favourite bits and top tips from over the years that I have been there. The Disneyland resort hotel is divided into two theme parks (the Disneyland Park/Magic Kingdom and the New Disney Studios, which opened last year). The resort features six hotels: The Disneyland Paris Hotel, Hotel New York, Newport Bay Club, Sequoia Lodge, Hotel Cheyenne, and Hotel Santa Fe and the Camp Davey Crockett Campsite. The hotels cater to a range of budgets, from the Santa Fe (from £105 per adult for three nights, including park pass, accommodation, and breakfast) up to the Disneyland Paris Hotel (from...

Review of Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Dreams in California

Advantages: Fastpass system really helps with queues
Disadvantages: Small park so gets cramped very quickly

...Disneyland California the first ever Disney park I visited and also the first ever Disney Theme Park opened on July 17th 1955. Located in Anaheim, California, Disneyland California consists of 2 theme parks, Disneyland Park and Disney's California Adventure Park, 3 resort hotels, Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Grand Californian and Disney's Paradise Pier and Downtown Disney for all your shopping, dining and entertainment needs. *~*Tickets*~* I always would recommend purchasing your tickets before you leave the UK as you tend to get better value. You can purchase 2,3,4 and 5 day hopper tickets allowing you access to both parks starting from £65 per adult and at least you don't have to queue up to purchase tickets when you arrive. *~*Disneyland Park*~* As with all Disney Parks there are themed areas, at the entrance you will...

Review of Disneyland (California)

Visit Disneyland Paris on a Budget

Advantages: Low price for area, free shuttle service, adequate rooms
Disadvantages: No children's facilities or pool, inflated food and drink prices

...This is an "all you need to know guide" to staying at the Kyriad Hotel near Disneyland Paris for those who are looking to stay there. There are large chunks of this review that will be irrelevant to some but invaluable to others so I apologise in advance if the length puts anyone off reading it! Sections are labelled clearly so you can skip directly to the parts that interest you personally. ★ Booking my Trip ★ I stayed at the Disneyland Hotel Kyriad from Monday 11 February 2008 for three nights with my 2yr old son so we could visit the nearby Disneyland Paris. As with all Disney hotels, you can expect to pay drastically varying prices to stay here. If I'd have booked my stay directly through the Disneyland brochure or website, I'd have paid double what I did through the Eurostar website! Booking...

Review of Kyriad Disneyland Resort Paris, Marne-la-Vallee

"THE WONDERS OF DISNEYLAND" ???!!!!!!

Advantages: Kids love it
Disadvantages: Price, queing for everything

...Thought I would share with you all our horrendous experience of `Disney'. Hope you have a bit of time, it goes on a bit. Friends persuaded myself, husband, 5 year old daughter and 2 year old son to come along as they are regular Disneylanders'!. The journey there was pretty pain free and arrived at our hotel "The Cheyenne" all in good spirits. We dropped off all our suitcases and went straight back into the resort. As soon as we walked, sorry queued to get in I could see that it was going to be a nightmare keeping tags on our 5 year, old and friends 6 year old, so we told them that if we get separated for any reason, meed at the Castle, as it was a place we knew that they could see from most places in the park. Within 2 hours, the worst happened, we turned around after getting off of one of the rides, and they were both...

Disneyland Paris - a survival guide

Advantages: Disney madness at it's best!
Disadvantages: Dont forget to take spare credit cards....oh and remortgage you house too

...This isn't a review - more of a "Top tips survival guide" 1) During summer months make sure that you have remembered to take the sun cream with you. (sounds obvious i know, but we left ours at the hotel and rather studpidly thought we'd buy some more. At £22 for a small bottle of factor 30, my husband was sent back to the hotel, complaining bitterly, to go and get ours.) 2) Take your own bottles of coke and water. (We got a case of coke and water from our local cash and carry and took it over with us.) Then to keep it cool fill the sink with cold water and leave the bottles floating in it. 3) If #2 isn't an option - take a WIDE neck sports bottle with you (it will be easier to fill it from the plentiful water fountains if it has a wider neck) 4) Take fruit and healthy snacks with you. (Disneyland is full of greasy fried food...

Review of Disneyland Paris

Disneyland

Advantages: Mickey mouse?!
Disadvantages: lack of space

...I have now visited both the Florida Disneyworld and Los Angeles Disneyland and I think that Walt Disneyworld is the better of the two. This park is much smaller than I expected and because of this, most of the rides and attractions are squashed into a small space and it feels very crowded. I was 17 when I visited so most people would say the magic is lost on me. But even my parents understand and apreciate what Disney tries to achieve. In this park there is still magic and alot of rides to chose from, but due to its size I cannot see how they can add anymore rides and thus some will lose out. The original park, similar the Magic Kingdom is certainly for younger members, with child friendly rides and parades. As you would expect the park was extremely busy in August and some of the rides in this park had been shut. For us this was...
