Buffalo bill best time to go

[Disneywelsh2014]

I'm visiting disneyland Paris on 13th-17th October 2014 and want see show what time there less crowds and no family with children under 12 and 7 years old 6:30PM showing or the 9:30PM showing.

there will be families with children at both showtimes, but i'd think 9.30pm would be slightly quieter.

Should children be in bed at 9:30PM.


The Supernanny website recommends that bedtime should be:
• Between 7pm and 7:30pm for children up to age of four or five
• Between 8pm and 9pm for children between the age of five to 12



(Supernanny is an show where parents ask supernanny to help with there UNBEHAVING and unruled children.)

Supernanny goes out the window on holidays!

are you joking disneywelsh? when children are on holiday bedtimes don't have to be strict and don't have to be adhered to (and lots of parents don't religiously follow other peoples rules on how to raise their children ).

Our two have regular bedtimes at home but not at Disney! If they were in bed by 9.30 we'd never get to see Dreams!

Super nanny hasn't spent the night in the same room as her children for a week.
We all have the same bedtime then

If we went by home routine we would have to be in the hotel by 6 to be in bed by 7 meaning we would have to look at leaving the parks at 5.30-5.45. The park is open till 10 when we are there what a waste of 4+ hours of park time.

Good grief - kids are up all hours at Disney, the bar was full of them in the Sequoua at 11pm lol!
To be honest, unless its a pub with a strict no under 18/21 rule, kids will be everywhere, all the time, as its a family resort.
Just because a child is not in bed at 7.00pm on holiday, it doesn't mean they have behavioural problems or their parents are bad parents, they are just having fun

I believe lots of people have their children take a nap during the afternoon, even older ones, so that they are awake enough to see Dreams and spend an actual evening at the parks at least once during their stay.

I don't have children yet but I personally would do it that way too. Maybe even take a little nap myself, it's not like I would have something better to do waiting for them to be awake so might as wel take a powernap and be fresh and shiny for Dreams.

So bedtime moves up a little but I do think it's important to keep the amount of hours of sleep kind off the same as on normal days, just split up between a quick nap and their nighttime bedrest. If they sleep too little you're stuck there with very whiny, naggy, overtired kids and that way neither you nor them would enjoy it. And Disney can be quite exhausting, even for us adults, so I can't begin to imagine what an impact those busy days must have for the little ones.

Europeans tend to eat early tough (well the Northern part, in the South of France/Spain they eat later than here in Belgium for example) so I believe the 6.30 time slot is always busier. I myself would find 9.30 too late for dinner/tea, I like having a few hours of time after eating to walk around and let my meal digest properly before going to sleep. I find that walking around always helps me lose that "Oh God I ate way to much" feeling (and trust me you'll have that after Buffalo Bill's with all the food and drinks they shove in your face ) so try to avoid having to go to sleep quickly after dinner.

We went to Buffalo Bill in october 2012 in mid season to the 6.30 showing and it was fairly quiet there. The CM's put everyone in the "good seats" and directed everyone to a place with good view so that no one was sitting in front of those iron bars that shield of the arena from the seating area at eye height. It's quite a big arena tough and I believe you have a fairly good view from every seat, even if it would be crowded.

If you really like your peace and don't mind eating late, I would go for the 9.30 slot.
