my husband and i are going to paris in november for 7 nights.we are planning to spend four days in disneyland paris and 2 days in paris.
we are not sure how much spending money we will need for the trip?
we already have our hopper tickets so our money is mainly for food and drink while we are in disneyland and during our days in paris we want to visit the tower and might visit some other attractions there.
we dont plan to do any shopping,just buy a few souveneirs probably.
in our previous trips to wdw for 14 nights we spend arond £1000 for the two of us so our plan is to take around £750 for us both.we have heard paris is quite expensive and the rate for euros is not as good as the dollar.
do you think £750 will be enough?
thanks:)

This is like asking how long is a piece of string ;)
It depends on whether you want to buy lots of gifts, eat in table service restaurants, want to eat in the tourist areas of Paris etc etc
But in truth for a couple I'd not feel that £750 was not enough and I'm sure you'll not have to watch the pennies(euros) to much :)

If you look at the menus on dlpfoodguide (http://www.dlpfoodguide.com/index.php) you will get an idea of how much meals cost. :)

Oh I think Paris will do it's best to tempt you but you will love it :goodvibes
Elaine's link is a good one and along with the Restaurant faq that will give you an idea to the costs. Nothing I think 2 people will be worried about :)

Where are you staying? Are you in Paris for few days then moving hotels to Dis or staying in one place and travelling between the 2.
It is possible to eat very cheaply in Paris. We found some lovely restaurants in the Latin Quarter - left bank of the River near St Michel metro station.
We have also eaten very good cheap meals in Place de Tetre near Sacre Coeur which is a major tourist site.
You will find in France that a good table meal is usually as cheap if not cheaper than a snack type/fast food meal
It is also possible to really enjoy Paris without spending a lot of money. Viewing the Eiffel Tower from different places, walking along the river towards Notre Dame (Dont forget to go behind it the back of it is beautiful) and onto Isle St Louis, Going up to Sacre Coeur and round Place des Tetres watching the artists. Walking down the Champs Elysee, across Place de Concorde, through Jardin des Tuileries, to the Louvre. Stand by the Pyramid at the Louvre and look back towards the Champs Elysee. You can see right through the Arc de Carrousel, Concorde, up Champs Elysee and Arc de Triomphe. A wonderful view.
All this can be done without spending anything apart from the occasional metro ticket.
You could opt for a boat ride (bateau mouche) to give you a tour of the city. We really like the Batobus as it gives you chance to get on and off and explore. Or you could take a bus tour of the city.
Prices for the Tower, Batobus and Bateau Mouches can all be found on the internet- just google each thing.
Paris is the most wonderful city and can be so relaxing so I hope you enjoy your break there.
