I can't believe how fast the time has gone, and this time next week we will be in the air and on our way to CDG Airport!
But I have a few questions...Of course!
So we are first time visitors, staying for 4 nights at Sante Fe. I booked this resort because I didn't want to pay through the roof, as we won't be using much of the hotel's facilities (we never do!) Its just a place to sleep but I wanted to benefit from EMH, so this seemed like a good choice.
My Frist Question is TRANSFERS! I read in detail about the TGV and also about the RER A & B to get to DLP from CDG. My question is, which one?
Now TGV is showing at £90 return for both of us on the days/times we need and I know its much quicker, but how much is the Metro RER line going to cost if we go that way via Paris? It is worth the cost to spend £90 or not? Am I just being a cheapskate?
Secondly, Is it relatively easy to figure it out where to go etc?
This is my brief plan for the week, any suggestions welcome. We are brand new to DLP but have done WDW Twice!
Wed 22nd April, Land in Paris around 3pm, given time to get off plane - transfer, aiming to arrive at Santa Fe at 5-5.30pm? Reasonable?
Check in, unpack, change and head to Magic Kingdom for something to eat (Just counter service) and then see Dreams. We probably wont go on any rides or anything, just relax and have a nosey round for our first evening
Thursday 23 April - Up bright and early we have breakfast included in our stay, so I assume we eat at the hotel? Then stroll to Magic Kingdom for rope drop (Do they do rope drop at MK DLP?) Either way be there for opening at 8am!
Hit all the headliners that we need want to do, characters etc. Is there anything we should go to first, as a MUST?
Stay in the park probably all day, but not sure where to book for dinner? Do I stay in MK, any recommendations (not character meals please, OH not a fan) or do we go to Disney Village?
Friday 24th April - Small lie in and then head to Studios Park for 10am opening, and head straight to Crushes Coaster first, is this the busiest one? try and complete all the rides/shows etc in the day.
Then dinner at Buffalo Bills wild west show? (I thinks that's the name!)
Saturday 25th April - Early start and a full day and night in Paris, think we'll just get the RER line straight to the city centre, Notre Dame and Eiffel Tower are our main do's as we missed them a few years ago. We've dinner booked at our favourite little back alley restaurant
Sunday 26th April, our flight is at 4pm, so we're hoping for an early start, breakfast, check out and leave our suitcases at the hotel, then try and get anything we've missed or revisit our favourites again before getting back to the hotel at 1pm to collect our cases, and get the train back to CDG airport for our flights!
We have no hold luggage, only cabin bags if that helps with anyone's advice regarding times etc!
Also any advice for first time visitors from you seasoned visitors that we might miss and should spend the time doing etc?
Thanks all x
