I am in the early (incredibly early, incredibly broad and rough) planning stages for a solo trip to DLP (I've decided that I want to visit every Disney park in the world at least once, and this is my next step). Given the time and expense involved in crossing the ocean I plan to make it part of a longer visit to Europe, though I'm not yet decided on where else I'll go. Most likely candidates are England or Norway, given that I really enjoyed the one other time I got to visit England and given that I have a friend in Norway who's offered to either put me up or meet me in London (she doesn't seem particularly interested in the DLP portion of the trip). I've also assumed in my plans so far that I'll visit Paris itself at least briefly.
Anyway, I have a question!
If you were planning a multi-stop trip, would you put DLP at the beginning or end of the trip? My concern about putting it at the beginning is worrying that it'll be weird coming down from Disney afterward, though for all I know I might like the other part of the trip better. My concern about putting it at the end is whether I'll be too tired to enjoy the parks.
Besides that, how many days would you suggest I allow for DLP? Due to the cost of international travel plus my other travel goals, this may be the only time I visit DLP, so I want to be sure I give myself plenty of time to enjoy it...without going so overboard that I get sick of it and wish I'd spent the time elsewhere. Advice on what time of year to go is good, too; I'm aware that it gets relatively cold in winter and that the colder and less popular months are likely to see attractions down for refurbishments. While I'd like to avoid crowds I'd like even more to avoid missing my one chance to ride a major attraction.
