    Meeting characters as an adult? Do they speak english?

    On our very first trip we did the entire dress up in Disney all matchy matchy. We had a chance to speak to a handler for about 30 minutes. She said many characters come from the US, work hard, show up for work, etc. Nearly everyone speaks English, but as good manners go I suggest you greet...

    Must Do's for 2 day trip to DLP

    As an expat living in Europe with several trips to DLP already my biggest suggestion is don't go expecting WDW or DL. It is Europe, guest services are different, people are different, and Disney is different. There are wonderful things about DLP, like the castle and the grotto. Make sure to...

    DLP Resorts - Outlet Conversion

    In a word. YES, bring a converter with a two round pin plug in. Also if you need bring a small transformer. We have a very little one that won't hold much but good when we use to travel. I think DH plugs his razor into it to charge. Have a great time in Paris.

    Suite for 5 adults

    Is staying offsite in apt an option for your family? There is no DLP property all in one room. As mentioned you get connecting rooms. If you stayed offsite you could get an apt that could sleep all of you and have a kitchen too.

    BWV vs. OKW

    OKW is very relaxed and convenient to park the car outside your villa building. The rooms are bigger. There is a boat to DTD which the teenagers might enjoy taking if they want more to do.

    Lake Clean Up?

    I bet the bacteria count is off the charts in the lakes. I would never go in them. Yet they offer water skiing and parasailing. How is that?

    Day trips into Paris

    I don't know about the DLP Paris city day trips but the train station is right there. You can go to the ticket machine, buy a RT ticket to the city and back. Kids cost less than adults. From Paris you can transfer onto any metro line and go anyplace you want all on your own.

    Transfer points

    Thank you for the help. I wanted to just check on a resort at DLP and DVC told me I could not make the reservation because it was in the last 4 months. I just shook my head at the time. I still don't understand the reasoning behind it but it is the rule so ok.

    Prepay MF

    Sue, that is good to know. At one point I do remember having a small credit from using Disney gift cards to pay off the MF. I wondered if I could make small payments a bit at time, break up the one big hit KWIM. Monthly would be a great option and I am going to look into it.

    How early is too early?

    Once I went on the back lot tour and had to cut through epcot going in at the International gate. I was able to walk to the entrance without seeing anyone other than CM's. It was rather fun to do. I took some cute photos.

    Should we just cancel?

    Go and have fun. I believe that Disney new FP+ system is having growing pains. It is a new system and the kinks have to be worked out. I am sure they are learning from the mistakes and taking in what guests are saying. Disney is enjoyable at some level for everyone.

    All Ticket Prices Went Up Overnight (02/23/2014)

    Agreed. I understand that prices keep going up on everything but Disney seems to be the king in raising ticket prices. This time without warning seems very cheeky. We have been looking at other options for a bit now and finding new fun places to go. Of course we always will love the mouse...

    Memory maker friend list share. Don't get it?

    That seems like the best option and the most easy for everyone involved. I would hate to have to load up everyones cards. Glad it worked out so well for you.

    You Gotta Love Convention Rates!

    We use to go to the powerschool conference each year in Disney. Not only do they discount the room rate but also the park tickets. I hope you go and have a great trip.
