Arrival time

[Isila]

Ok, I began to look for plain tickets and it seems there are some options.
It all comes to arrival to Paris time.
I have a choice of leaving early in the morning at 6.25, arriving to Paris at 11 (conecting flight - Warsaw). Or do 14.50 flight arriving to paris at 18.40 (conecting flight Warsaw). waiting time between flights is 1 hour. But if I arrive in the evening there is no point going to DLP - I would waste whole day. So would it be an option to book a hotel and spent a night in Paris?
If I do go this early, I would have to be in airport around 5.25.. plus an hour drive.. Kids would be dead tired, right?
there are some otehr flights, but teh wait time in airports is over 3 hours..
but on departure day we would leave at 19. So it gives us whole day at DLP.
and this would be CDG.

There is an option flying from other airport, it would be the same flight as we did last time leaving 8.15, arriving to Paris 13.20 (conecting flight in Ryga, wait time 2h25mins). But departure flight is nuts - nothing less than 6 hours wait time in conecting airport

you know your children best Isila, and you'll know if they would cope with a very early morning start.

We always try to get an early morning (6am) flight from the UK to CDG. I've done this with my DD since she was 5 years old, and that suits us best, because any afternoon flights we've had we're just very impatient the whole day, waiting to go!

There are lots and lots of options for accommodation near Disney if you decide the later flight would be better for you all. I sometimes stay offsite near Disney for our first night, then transfer to my onsite hotel very early next morning (in time for EMH ).

Have a look on travelrepublic or expedia for hotels near Disneyland Paris, to get an idea of the choice thats available to you.

there are nice flights - 07.05a.m departure, arriving 8.50 to Paris, not a conecting flight, but it's to Paris Beauvais airport...

kids do get up early with no problem, I guess they can have a nap in car or in plane. I'm sure the little one will need his day nap and can have it on the way to DLP or in a stroller.. But we have never traveled anywhere this early. They would have to get up around 4.00am.

 

[DLPdaft]

yep, 4am is about the time we get out of bed to head for DLP .

I agree with DLPdaft, for us early morning is always best as we too would sit around twiddling our thumbs clock watching waiting to go, (although my girls are now much older so it is not too much of an issue)

We are off next week and our train is 6.36am which means leaving home at around 4.15am and having to get up around 3ish
We arrive in Disney however at 11.09am which means we still have the whole day to enjoy the parks.

Beauvais is ok though isn't it? You can still either get the coach to DLP or book a shared shuttle. It would get you in at a really good time!

http://www.alwayshuttle.com/ these guys are quoting 160 euros for a return shared shuttle - not used them before though.

Oh no, just checked out the coach shuttle and it goes to CDG before heading off to DLP!!!! How crazy is that? Leaves Beauvais at 10.30 and gets you to DLP about 13.30 !!!!

 

[Isila]

CDG - DLP is 70 Eur and Beauvais is 120 Eur... That's a difference in price and travel time
I think I'll hop to travel agency, maybe they'll tell me more options

I'd rather take the early flight and have a nap while flying.

Is 1 hour enough to make a conecting flight? If they suggest me this flight, so I guess it's fine?
