DH and I are headed to Disneyland Paris in June! This is a big trip to France, celebrating my 50th and our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We're doing a week in Normandy, then the 2-night Adventures by Disney Paris Escape, followed by the 7 night DVC Members AbD Rhone River Cruise, and then ending with a stay in Disneyland Paris.
I originally wanted to book us the last 4 nights at the Disneyland Hotel in the Castle Club as a splurge for our celebration and to just pamper ourselves at the end of such a long trip. However, the Castle Club was not available our first night, unless we booked a Junior Suite, and as much as I do want to pamper us, that price tag was more than I could really justify for 4 nights, especially after all the other expenses of this trip!
We're big Wilderness Lodge / Grand Californian Hotel fans, and so I decided to grab the first night at the Sequoia Lodge in the Golden Forest club level, and then the last 3 nights in the Castle Club with a Park View Room. The Marvel Hotel doesn't really appeal to us, and we're from MA, so Newport Club is too much like home.
But now I'm second guessing myself. Will we also enjoy Sequoia and feel 1 night is a tease that doesn't allow us to enjoy it (especially as we expect to be in the parks during the day? Would it be better to do 2 nights and 2 nights, or should we just go all out and stick with then 1 night and 3 nights because 2 nights isn't enough at the Castle Club? Anyone done both of them and can provide some advice?
As a note, we arrive the first day sometime between 12pm-1pm, and we have to depart by 7am on the last morning (our flight is at 11am). Is the Castle Club lounge open for breakfast before we have to depart?
