Congratulations on your upcoming trip
How many days will you have at DLP?
Both parks are very close together, so even if you go for 1 day you should at least be able to have a peek at both, as the main park will be open until approx 11pm. I'd absolutely recommend that you see Dreams, on at park closing time - its fantastic
Alice's Maze is unique to DLP I think and I hear that BTM and Space Mountain also differ from the US parks.
The castle itself is beautiful and you can visit the Dragon underneath...if you dare
Going from comments from visitors more used to the US parks, I'd suggest that you try to take in the beauty of the park and ignore the differences as best you can. It's not the same as the US parks and never will be. But I love it there and think that Fantasyland in particular is absolutely beautiful
