I know nothing about DLP but thought I'd poke the ol' head in and take a sticky!
typical!
Hehehe,, no need to be an expert to comment here!
Congrats on booking We were there mid Dec when we went for 8 nights. DS and I took the RER into Paris and back and didn't have a problem, didn't find anything wrong with it It's not a nice clean train like the Eurostar or TGV, but it was just a normal suburban train, a little grotty and there are beggars, but they were not annoying or offensive like the gypsys that are around Paris. They just board the train, go along and place a card beside everyone (which we didn't touch, but I did lean and have a read). Then they walk back, pick the card up and jump off the train at the next stop (and I assume start the process again on the next train as it comes along ). But we found it easy to navigate around Paris, easy to get into Paris and back again. I can't see that you'll have any problems
It really was FREEZING when we went, like absolutely FREEZING! I don't remember ever feeling as cold. We went to Zermatt from there and it was -15 and it didn't feel as cold as DLP, LOL. We actually took the train in to the big shopping centre just a stop or two (on the RER) from Disneyland to the sports store to buy balaclavas as at night we were just so bitterly cold and it was sleeting and it hurt your face. But it was still amazing, wonderful, magical and just beautiful at Christmas time. There are Christmas markets between DTD and DLH which are cute and very christmasy (if that's a word). You will love it!
Thanks aussietravellers!
With regards to the RER, do you think it'll be manageable with 3 kids and suitcases coming in from Paris into Disneyland in the morning? I know Queenie did it, but she was travelling with another adult.
