| Not going because its an expensive dive. That sums up the whole of Paris. Imagine how rude the french can be in a queue in resort when they are relaxed and enjoying the snow. Multiply it by a million and you can imagine how sh1t they are to people. |

My girlfriend and I went a few years ago and just stayed in a cheap guesthouse/hotel in Paris and got the RER train to the site each day. It's not all that big so 2 days was enough so the travelling back and forth didn't worry us. Plus it's not far anyway and it was good to combine it with a trip to Paris itself as then you don't get Disney overload.
I think the area just outside the park, one train stop back towards Paris iirc, has some places cheaper than the main hotels, but not sure there's much to do there.
Plus, if you're going by Eurostar then ring up to check the best prices. Think we saved about £60 by doing it over the phone compared to trying to navigate their online booking system.
Oh, and have a look on the Disneyland Paris UK website. When we went they had a special offer on discounted entrance tickets, which you could only buy from the UK website, so technically before you get there.
We were only going to spend one day there but changed our mind and actually used their own computers just outside the gates to order and print out some more discount tickets  |

Depends if you have a girlfriend who is so obsessed that she just has to have everything in sight that has anything remotely to do with any of her favourite Disney characters (which is all of them)  |

hahaha fair point
I think DisneyLand Paris is awesome, the music that you hear as you enter is just make you feel happy! Oh and of course they have Space Mountain! |

Yeah, we had a great time. It's nice to revert to childhood occasionally.
Can't do Space Mountain tho, it makes me physically ill. In fact I can't really do any rollercoasters any more without feelin like I'm going to throw up  |

We RER'd in from Paris. You can get a Visite pass for the Metro and RER which was great and got us to Disneyland and back two days and allowed us to cruise the paris underground when the walking got too much. Much cheaper than buying seperate tickets and meant that we didn't need to pay high central paris or close proximity disney prices for accomodation.
Disney does deals if you are going for more than one day and make sure you go to disney studios as well (extra but worth it.... it's a bit more grown up).
Other than that..... take a picnic.... food is a fortune! Don't buy anything in the park if you can help it.... the ticket is enough. Disney Village prices are a little cheaper than the park we found for souveneirs.......... and Buffalo Bills Wild West show is Rad!!!!!
Enjoy! |

| when Dumbo was in prodution, artist went on strike for better pay and working conditions, good old Walt got in touch with gangster mobs and they in-turn got in "touch" with the artist, people got beat-up and one even died. They still re-fused to go back to work...if you watch it the lavish detail and back-ground stop after the elephants get on the train..Disney, murdering blasturd... |
