Yay! DH and I are heading to DLP in late June, and I'm only just starting to research it now. Wah!
I have my 'Unofficial Guide to Disneyland Paris' to start reading, but I thought I'd ask my trusty friends on the DIS boards for some much-needed planning advice first!
So here goes... Any advice to these questions would be fabulous!
* First up, our hotel. We really can't decide between Hotel New York or Newport Bay. From what I've read, Hotel New York is a bit nicer (and closer to the parks) but Newport Bay is less expensive. Considering we'll be in the parks most of the time or out for dinner, it shouldn't be a huge issue, but we'd like to stay somewhere relatively nice!
* How does one book the Magical Express bus (or equivalent) from the Eurostar train station to the Disney hotel? I can't seem to find anything about it online.
* When we do look at booking our holiday package online, it automatically gives us a 4 day park pass, even though we'll only be going to the parks for 3 days. Is there any way of changing that, or does it make no difference, price-wise?
* Do we have to make dining reservations? I'm so used to making them months in advance like for WDW, I feel like I should!
Hmm, I think that's about it for now. Sorry for the rambles! If you have any other tips for a DLP first-timer, fire them at me! I'd love to hear anything you could suggest. Great restaurants we should try, tips for the parks... anything!
Thanks in advance, everybody!
