Disneyland Paris at October

[alicie]

I am going to Disneyland Paris at October and have a few questions since it has been around 6 years since I last went when I was 10.

Are there any advantages of staying at the Disneyland hotel over the other on-site hotels?

Extra Magic Hours, Do these run in October as it only says on the website up until September at the moment but I have read elsewhere that they run all year round?

Are Half Board Vouchers a cheaper way of getting food or does everything work at around the same, are they worth buying?

I have never been to Disneyland at October, only ever been at Christmas, so what is the weather like?

How busy does it tend to be at October? I am going the 10-13th which are weekdays and I think only Scottish schools are off this week.

Are there storage for bags at all the rides?

Thanks.

I am going to Disneyland Paris at October and have a few questions since it has been around 6 years since I last went when I was 10.

Are there any advantages of staying at the Disneyland hotel over the other on-site hotels?

yes, Extra Magic Hours and the chance of having breakfast in the park instead of at your hotel, plus the obvious advantage that all the onsite hotels are within walking distance of the parks, so you don't have to rely on the shuttle buses.

Extra Magic Hours, Do these run in October as it only says on the website up until September at the moment but I have read elsewhere that they run all year round?

In October Extra Magic Hours might not be every day, if its not published yet the least it would be would be Wednesdays, and Friday through to Sunday mornings.

Are Half Board Vouchers a cheaper way of getting food or does everything work at around the same, are they worth buying?

I don't think they are worth it nowadays, if you want to budget for your meals in advance put the money onto a prepaid travel card and use that to pay for your meals when you are at DLP.

I have never been to Disneyland at October, only ever been at Christmas, so what is the weather like?

much milder than at Christmas - typically like Autumn weather when you are intending going

How busy does it tend to be at October? I am going the 10-13th which are weekdays and I think only Scottish schools are off this week.

lovely and quiet midweek that week - I love the first couple of weeks of Halloween season at DLP, you will have a great time!

Are there storage for bags at all the rides?

theres no need for storage for bags - on almost all of the rides you can safely take your bags on with you. Parachute Drop and RC Racer have storage areas for bags.

Thanks.
