You really need to keep a check on the refurb and closures list
http://holidays.disneylandparis.co.uk/eep.html As you are not going until September 2016, some things which are not listed now may be added to the list in the future. I have seen on another forum where people are angry that things were not listed for closure when they booked 8 to 10 months in advance but were added to the closure list a few weeks before their departure date.

Restaurants
First off, unlike the American parks, ADR's are not really that big a deal. You can only do ADR by phone +33 1 60304050 (French phone number) not online. They take ADR 60 days before arrival date. Most people only do ADR a few weeks before arrival date or at check in when they arrive or a Town Hall on the day.
It depends on what kind of food you eat. The food is very different to the American parks. Have a look at the restaurant menus here
http://www.dlpguide.com/planning/dining/restaurant-menus/ They might not be up to date but they will give you a good idea of what to expect
Some restaurants, like Plaza Gardens have the same name and location as in the American parks but have a very different menu. Even Starbucks and McDonalds in Disney Village are different to American branches.
If you just want proper American food, Planet Hollywood, Rainforest Cafe or Annettes in Disney Village would be best.
