We were always really early. That emh is the best time of the day.

We were convinced. One time we went and stood to see Winnie the Pooh fit far too long as some people took the piss then last time we went we found the majority of rides were not open at early.

Yeah, only some things are open for EMH, you can check beforehand. One mindset change I had to make was that meeting characters is just as big a deal to the little'uns as rides, so early access to meets is just as good for them.
That first 2 hours in the parks is the best part of the day by far.

This was why we focused on character dining. It gave the kids much more time with the characters, and gave them something to do while they waited, such as eat. Other than Winnie the Pooh the last time we were there we didn’t waiting for any character. To be fair we were in the Disney land hotel and could meet princesses every 15 mins, but the time before we were in newport bay we targeted the additional characters at the hotels too.

Same here. Breakfast can be a great option for that. 2hrs or so EMH with just a cereal bar or similar, then just as the crowds start you go somewhere and have a ginormous scran - or at least try to as you're constantly taking photos of the bairns!

Last time I was at Disney Paris, the hotel was a bit late checking us in. They gave us money to spend in the gift shop and we got a pass to go to the front for every ride for the whole trip. That was canny.

Unlimited Fast Past? I didn't know such a thing even existed. Multiple days too? Jesus.
 
Has anyone flown into Paris CDG lately. With this new European Entry System I hear the wait for passport control could be up to 2 hours for arrivals & suggestions to get to the airport 3 hours before the flight back.

We went end of Feb, was fine both sides but limited food choice on the terminal coming back to Edinburgh.

Disney was great, the french are rude as fuck mind

That disney village had a great couple of pubs and bars to eat if you fancy a rest from the constant noise of the two parks

We stayed in the Cheyanne, mainly shuttled it in for magic hour on the mornings then shuttle or walked back depending on how busy it was or time
 
Just seen 18 months to build the UP ride! It’s a set of swings. Saw fella do it at fair in a couple hours.
.



In other news if anyone wants to give this 35 seconds of their time do it classes as a view my daughter would be much appreciative of it as will I.

I got a mental deal when we stayed there. Half board for 4 nights for 4 of us for £600 including park tickets. Ten years ago mind.

We are paying £1400 for the 4 of us for a week in France, 2 nights Paris, 4 nights Disneyland Paris, 1 night Paris then home. Includes the park tickets too. End of august so during holidays.
So Only a few Ubers or maybe the train to pay on top. Looking forward to going back, to fill the void until head back to states.
