DLP Newbies - Advice Gratefully Received

[paulpingu]

Hi,

My wife and 3 year old daughter are travelling for the first time to DLP next month for 4 nights/5 days.

We are staying in the hotel Santa Fe and have taken out the HB options.

I really want to make the trip as memorable as possible for my family and could do with any advice on booking meals where and when? Also what is the best method of transfers from CDG to DLP?

Also should I upgrade for the Buffalo Bill show or any of the character breakfasts?

Apologies in advance for my naivety but can see from other posts that ppl on here have lots of DLP experience and I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks again in advance of any help/advice...

hi and welcome

i have stayed at the santa fe twice and really like it. just make sure to use the bus unless you like walking. we walked three times a day back and forth so i think that has put us off the walk. its not that bad but six times a day is excessive

i would definately go to do a cafe mickey lunch. if you go to the restaraunt review thread you will find pics of cafe mickey. it is a character restaraunt and lunch is the quieter time to eat. my dd is two and she loves it there. i have some pics on my trip report. if you go to the trip report section at the top of the page its one of the first few threads.

i always use a private transfer as its easier with a young child. i dont think ash would last after being in an airport and then a plane to hang around waiting for the vea bus. if that would suit you though i think it costs around 17 euro per person each way. if you want to go with a private or shared transfer then i us rs transport and have found them very reliable.

sorry i havent been to buffalo bills so i can comment but mickey and friends are now part of the show

hope some of my ramblings have helped if not feel free to ask more questions
