Milk is also available in the gift shop. If your grandaughter is able to wait Milk is freely available at breakfast.

Im going to Disneyland Paris in October, and im just trying to plan how much things are going to cost.
We're staying at Best Western Marne Le Vallee which is about 10 mins away on the train. Ive found the train prices.
Can anyone tell me average prices for food and drink in Disney these days?

Ive been 3 times before but i cant for the life of me remember the average prices!

thanks in advance.

I found this to be a godsend when we were going for prices and stuff.

thankyou! thats website is fab!

We're off to DLP for the second time in two years this August.
As our two girls are four and two and Princess mad, we've booked a table at the Auberge de Cindrellon (sp?) for one lunchtime. I've been reading some reviews on another site which say that this is particularly poor value (even for DLP) and that the characters don't even visit every table.
Our meal in Cafe Mickey last time round was the real highlight of our trip and so the children and I were really looking forward to this experience.

Has anyone been lately?
I know it's going to cost us 40 Euro each for the adults and another 20 for each child which I don't mind paying if it's as good as I hope but don't want to spend all that money for nothing more than a glimsp of Snow White's back.

Any advice much appreciated

Have you already paid for your meals in advance?
Its just that the advertised price for the Princess meal is now 55 euros per adult (it has been this price since late 2007).

If your children really are princess-mad, then it may be worth the price just for the opportunity to meet the princesses - as, in August, you would have to queue for a long time just to meet one princess at their regular meet n greet spot.

From reviews I've seen, Cinderellas mice, Suzy and Perla, are always there (they are the hostesses of the Princess meal) and usually there are at least 2 princesses, often 3 or 4, and one of the princes (the prince and princess couple do a dance in the middle of the restaurant).

As with the other character meals at Disneyland Paris, all the characters at the Princess meal go from table to table, meeting everyone. If you don't see all of the available ones at your table, just let your waiter know and they will do what they can to make sure you see any one who has missed you.

I haven't been to the Princess meal, mainly because my daughter really isn't that fussed about the "traditional" princesses - she prefers Jasmine, Mulan and Pocahontas .

Unless you and your family are real foodies, I wouldn't go expecting to rave about the food at the Princess meal - but as I said, it may be worth the expense for the Princess character interaction. I guess its a judgement call.

Hope this helps,

Elaine

Can anyone tell me where i get the VEA shuttle if my flight arrives at Terminal 2B?

Is it a particular exit number i need to head for?

We arrived there and followed the signs to the shuttle. It's well sign posted.

Hi there to all
My husband & I will be taking our 2 kids (aged 5 & 1) to eurodisney for the first time & would be grateful if someone could give us a few tips.

We have managed to get the flights cheap & will be purchasing the park tickets from walt disney stores in our city.We are thinking of staying in The Holiday Inn Marne La Valeee. Is this a good hotel & is the location suitable? If anyone has stayed here would they recommend it? How far is it from Chares De Gaulle airport & is it cheaper to get there from the airport by taxi or train? Also how far is this hotel from Paris & again what is the cheapest method to get from here to paris?
Are there any other 4* hotels nearby which are not to expensive & anyone could recommend?

Last but not least what is eurodisney like for shopping & food prices? Any tips

Thanx to everyone that replies

Hi sam33 and welcome to HT!

I have merged your post with our existing topic on Disneyland Paris which should have some information for you while you are waiting for specific answers.

Hi Sam33,

The Holiday Inn is a very suitable hotel at Disneyland Paris for families. Its situated just off the resort site, along with 3 other hotels, the My Travel Explorers, the Dream Castle, and the Kyriad. All 4 hotels are classed as associated to Disneyland Paris, and all 4 are served by a free very frequent shuttle between the hotels and the Park (the buses run from 6am every 20 minutes until around midnight every day). It takes less than 10 minutes on the bus to arrive at the Park from your hotel.

If arriving at Paris CDG airport, your most convenient method of getting to Disneyland and your hotel is the VEA shuttle. This departs around every 30 minutes during the day and early evening, every day. It visits each terminal at CDG before heading off to the Park bus station and the hotels. There are dedicated direct VEA shuttles to the Holiday Inn, but if you are not on time for one of those, you can get on any VEA and get off at the bus station at Disneyland, then get your shuttle from there to your hotel. The VEA takes around one hour from the first pickup at the airport, until it reaches the hotels at Disneyland. The price is 17 euro per adult, 13 euro per child.

There are other methods - you can get a private transfer with rstransport for example, or there is the TGV high speed train (this doesn't run as frequently as the VEA, and will involve you travelling between terminals, and carrying your luggage a lot longer than taking the VEA).

I usually get the VEA to Disneyland from the airport, and take the TGV back at the end of my trip (but there is only me and my daughter, and we travel light).

I don't know how long it would take you to get to Paris from Disneyland - but there is the TGV and normal train service station right at the entrance to the Parks.

Food is expensive at Disneyland Paris - have a look at this for an idea of the prices at the restaurants etc -
http://www.dlpfoodguide.com/index.php

Souvenirs aren't cheap either, but I just limit ourselves to our budget - we make the most of the hotel breakfast each day, have fast food at lunch, then have a meal in the Disney village at the end of the day in the Parks. By planning ahead with the food budget etc, I can work out how much we can spend on souvenirs.

Hope this has helped a bit,

Elaine

Hello

Me and my partner both in our later 20's want a romantic break in Paris for a weekend in August. I want to go to DLP but I also want to be Near to Paris Town centre so we can go out to the Restaurants in the evening...and also want to go to the Eiffel Tower.. Now my questions is - Do we stay at a Disney Resort Hotel or just one in town? Is everything easy to get too? We would be getting the Eurostar from london to St.Pancreas... I guess we will need a Taxi from there? Are they easy to come by?

Many thanks for any help!

Hi everyone,
I'm going to Disneyland Paris on Friday (driving from Germany) and wondered if anyone could tell me if there's any hypermarkets nearby.
Thanks

I am considering booking a DIY holiday to Disneyland Paris during the summer school holidays. Can anybody tell me how busy it tends to be, are we looking at 30 mins wait time for rides or a lot more. Also can anybody give me the names for any reasonably priced hotels off the park as the prices are horrendous for August in the Disney Hotels.

You could look for accommodation in MEAUX, ESBLY or BUSSY SAINT GEORGES.............. but you'd need to have to get to Disneyland Paris from the first two under your own steam.

Hi SharonAnn,

To be honest, you're looking at more than 30 minutes wait time for rides, the more popular ones will be one hour plus in the summer holidays at DLRP. There are fastpass for some rides, but certainly not all. However, if you make the most of your time there (parks open until 11pm etc) with a bit of planning you could still make it a great holiday, with a lot of things seen and done.

There is lots of choice for offsite, but close to the Magic, hotels. There are the 4 associated hotels, which are just along the road from the onsite hotels, and served by a free shuttle bus. Those are the Kyriad, the Holiday Inn, the Dream Castle, and the My Travel Explorers.

There are also lots of cheap alternatives in the Val d'Europe area, which is one train stop from DLRP. These include the Ibis and Etap hotels, which are very basic (along the lines of Travelodge) but are still very close to DLRP, and easy to get to.

Try having a look on Expedia for ideas - choose "hotels" and destination "Disneyland Paris" and lots of options will come up for you, to get an idea of price. What I would suggest is, if you going with young children in high summer season, look for a hotel with a swimming pool/childrens activities, and break up your days by going to the Disney parks early, then having the afternoon at your hotel, then heading the parks again for evening.

The only offsite hotel I've been to is the Explorers, and its a brilliant hotel for young children. You can also book this hotel through Benotel, and its usually quite a bit cheaper than Expedia that way.

Hope this helps,

Elaine

Hi

We are planning to do a day trip to DLRP in September , just for something different to try , flying into Paris CDG arriving at 9am ish and then getting a plane home about 9pm ish .

We plan to get the train from the airport (or the vea) and back , although the train back may be better option due to time?

Anybody spot and flaws in our plans !!??!! , im hoping we can get a fair bit done as it'll be quiet in September hopefully .

I assume we can buy tickets for the TGV(?) on the day at the airport station.

Also where abouts is the entrance to DLRP as regard where the train (or vea) drops you off?

Thanks for your help

Hi Alorko,

You'd be best to check the VEA timetable and then check the TGV (high speed train) timetable.
We usually arrive at CDG around 9.15am, and our next available TGV from CDG to DLRP isn't until 10.30. However, there is a VEA which leaves terminal 1 at 9.30am, so it really depends whether you prefer spending your time on the move on the bus (takes around 1 hour from first pickup at CDG to the DLRP bus station) or waiting at CDG for the TGV train. Both get you to DLRP at around the same time.

We always take the TGV back from DLRP to CDG, as that gives us a good extra hour in the parks over taking the VEA (as the actual journey time on the TGV is only 10 minutes, as opposed to around one hour on the VEA).

The VEA drops off at all Disney onsite hotels, and the main bus station at the Park/Village entrance.
The TGV stops at the DLRP train station, which is situated right next to the bus station.

September is low season at DLRP, are you planning your day trip for a weekday or a weekend? The parks may close at 6pm or 7pm on a weekday. You should arrive at the entrance to the Parks no later than 11am, so you'd certainly be able to get most things you want to see and do, seen and done . You won't have time to see all the shows though, in only one day.

Elaine

Thanks Elaine for the info

We are planning to go on a Tuesday at moment in one of the middle weeks in September . Ive checked and the park closes at 7 on that day .

I reckon we'll get about 7 hours at the parks , flight and transfer permitting , so should give us plently of time to do the odd rides we want and have a general nose araound .

Thanks for info on the TGV and VEA , i'll get hold of some timetables.

Cheers
