How many days should I plan for?

[travlnman1]

I'm just now thinking about DLP for spring break the first week in March. How many days/nights should I plan on staying? What are the must do's? I have teenagers. No kids. We go to DW every year but am a complete novice about DLP. I need some guidance!

I think about 3/4 or even 5 days is about right personally....

I personally wouldn't want to go for less than 5 days but I think thats more to do with our travel being expensive so going for less amount of days isn't really worth it for us! I wish we lived next to that euro bobber thing thats like a train!!

I wouldnt go any less than 5 days, i found that even after that i still have missed lots of things.

It can be done in less though, if you go at a quiet time, and plan your visit to see what you really want to see/do.

I've never gone for more than 3 days, think 4 would be just about right, and honestly don't know what I would do with 5 whole days there (but if anyone wants to pay for the experiment, I'd give it a go )

It depends on the tiem of year, but without kids I would say 3 should be sufficient do everything/nearly everything!!

oh yeah in the likes of January come the 5th/6th day you are wanting your own bed and you are standing about thinking 'what will we go on AGAIN?'!! But I'd be scared to try less, in saying that if I went in the summer, we could only afford 3 or 4 days max so we would make that work out!

och it boils down to me being tight and wanting my monies worth!!

I think we can do just about everything in 3 days, but 4 is the right number if we want to feel we've enjoyed yourselves rather than rushing from ride to ride, and queue to queue. Also DD likes to do BTM at least 5 times a day which adds on an extra day in total!

Have a cracking time.

Hi travlnman1 and welcome to DLP DIS board
We are a friendly bunch here so please join in on any other thread or if you have a number of questions then just start a new thread for each

If you have not had a look yet, DLP posting rules are here, DIS posting guidelines can be found here.

I think we are fairly high up the leader board with the most number of days staying at DLP, however we have not had to travel as far as yourself
Is your trip part of a wider trip to Paris and Europe? If so I think I'd consider 2 days the most I would want to take out of the time I could be exploring other aspects of Europe

Thanks for all the input.
We would be in France for 1 week. The family has been to Paris before so we wouldn't be giving up touring Paris for DLP. My son will be in school in Bordeaux so seeing him for a few days and then travel to DLP was my plan.
I'm trying to work on a balance of days in each place.
How are the crowds the first week of March?
I know my son has break the last week in February.
Thank you all for the warm welcome. I feel as if I've ventured over to the other side of the DIS boards!
