Please Help - don't want to be a bad American Tourist

[robind]

I just booked a weekend trip to DL Paris for the end of August. Last May, I was in Paris for a weekend and had an extra day and went to DL, but did not plan well so it was not as good a visit as it should have been.

That being said this time I am heading from Copenhagen to Paris on an early morning flight to CDG on Saturday August 30 staying at the Sequoia Lodge returning back to Copenhagen and work on Monday Sept 1.

First Question - last time I couldn't figure out the train so I took a cab and it cost a FORTUNE (especially w/ the exchange rate) - so how do I buy a ticket for the train, where in the airport do I catch it - and any other info I need. Keep in mind my French is limited to asking where the pool and WC are.

Second Question - do they still offer the fantasyland breakfast and if so can I call and reserve now? If so what number do I call - is there a central number or do I call the hotel? What about other dining reservations - should I make them now?

Third Question - what about touring plans, I know they have some fastpasses what are the not to be missed - I know I want to see the fireworks, because last time I missed them.

Any other tips, tricks, advise would be most welcome.

Thank you all for your help.

If you look in the stickied threads here there is all the info for the train.

As you're staying at a Disney Hotel you'll be able to use EMH in the morning (8am) so you'll be able to do quite a few rides in Fantasyland and Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear in Discoveryland before it gets too busy.

I would have said if you want to ride Crush in the Studios, use EMH in the Disneyland Park from 8am then head over to the Studios shortly after 9 to get in position for Crush but they have just started fastpasses for this ride so keep checking on this board to see if this continues.

Tower of Terror is also a fastpass ride.

You're lucky in that the fireworks will finish on Sunday 30th so you'll get two chances to watch them.

You can make dining reservations 60 days in advance ~ however many people leave it until they arrive and have no problem getting their first choice. Have a look at the menus on here, if you're not too fussed where you eat then you can leave booking something until you arrive.

Thank you for the information everyone. I will check out the sticky thread. Glad to hear Crush now has fast pass. I didn't make it over to the studios last time so I'm looking forward to that.

Just want to say hi robind ! I am from CA and live in Sweden just outside of Malmö, another country but actually quite close when you think about it! On my one trip to DLRP we flew out of Kastrup to CDG and because there was a rail strike we took the Disney bus to the resort. Information for the bus is also in the sticky BONITATIME mentions, and you can buy your ticket online if you want to go that way. Although the train is quicker, and quicker is decidedly better when you're on your way to Disneyland Paris !
