    have been loads of times...never stay in eurodisney though as u are too limited and it is to expensive.....when ever we go we stay in paris and get the train to eurodisney.....it is much better this way....u get the best of two worlds....getting to see paris which has much more on offer than eurodisney and then hopping on a train and going to eurodisney which only takes less than an hour and goes direct to the gates of disney and the last train leaves when the park closes! i stay in the quality hotel astor etoile.....it is a stones throw from the arc de triumph and is lovely.....it works out much cheaper.

    stayed once a few years back for 5 days in one of the hotels in the park (Sequoia Lodge). No choice really as we had our 2yr old and we didn't fancy the trip on the train every day plus it included limited access tickets to both parks each day.

    I was there last year, it kicked ass :D My favourite part was the parade, it was so cool! And the ride with all the little people in it, tiz cool :) Make sure you do the fast pass thing, otherwise you will be queuing all day. If you get your fast pass tickets once you go in, then you will be sorted for the rest of the day :)

    I wouldn't really advise staying in Euro Disney, because it is a bit out from Paris. Euro Disney is very easy to get to but it takes about 40 minutes or so. So stay in Paris, you'll get to easily see the sights of Paris, and then take the train out to Euro Disney whenever day ye are going :)

    Eurodisney's cool, I've been there twice. If you're thinking of staying in Paris and just going for a day in Eurodisney, I'd highly recommend also going to Parc Asterix! I love Eurodisney cause I love all the characters etc but I went to Parc Asterix few years ago and the rides are great. Depends on age of children you have with you if you have any. If you have older children or just yourselves I'd nearly recommend Asterix more than Disney. They also have shows, including a dolphin show as well as some cool rollercoasters. It involves a train and bus but well worth it

    Went there August bank hol 2 years ago with my (then) 3 yr old and 1 yr old...stayed in the Hotel cheyenne - as there was a heatwave on in France that year with temps hitting 40 was not good as you couldnt open windows more than 2 inches and no air conditioning :( if you are going with kids definitly pay a little more for a good hotel if going for a Disney one, anything like the Sequioia lodge/newport beach is good as right by the Disney marketplace where all bars and restaraunts etc are is good as based around a small lake so nice and cooling if temps high and no mad walks!

    Parks themselves are good but quite expensive drinks etc wise but seem small compared to US ones if you've been there before. Also my kids at the time were WAY too small for most of the rides so not much there for them....all in all though was good but expensive. Not impressed by the hotel at all though....

    We were there for 3 days and didnt get time to get upto Paris though which was a shame. Last bit of advice if you go - is check out a great supermarket which was a few train stops away on the train stop right outside Eurodisney's entrance. (sorry cant think of name at all but signposted everywhere) - really cheap compared to the parks and fanstatic prices on drink etc!!

    I would undoubtedly stay in Eurodisney. I went last Sept and stayed in the texas style ranch hotel (can't remember name) worked out really cheap includ. day passes. Would def recommend staying in Disneyland to get the best out of it.

    Hi folks,
    We're heading for Eurodisney towards end of june .. Should I be buying tickets online, or is end of june not that busy for queueing to buy at the gate ?
    We have 2 kids , 4yrs & 2yrs, so I guess its only the disney park, not the studios we need to go to ?

    I'm thinking 2 days, as we will be camping not too far away, so going back a second day is probably a better idea than trying to squeeze it all into one day.

    Should I buy tickets for 1 day, and then on the way out again, buy another ticket for the second day if we need it ?

    Suggestions ?

    Thanks.
