spreading ourselves too thin?

[hannymom]

i need some expert help here. my daughter and i are going to paris in the spring. this could possibly be a once in a life time trip for us. so my question is, we are planning a week in paris, one day is put aside for disneyland, should we fly into london, stay for 2 days to see the sights, then to paris for the last 4 days? these are all full days, i didn't count the two travel days.
is this possible, or am i trying to do too much? should we just stick with the original 7 days in paris with a full day at disneyland? i won't give up disney!!

Me personally I'd skip London and stick to 7 days in Paris I don't think you'll be disappointed and Paris could easily eat up all your 7 days and you'd still be wanting more

If you have never been to DLRP before you should at least reserve 2 days for DLRP. Or if you can only go one day you should only do the Disneyland Park and skip the Studios.

we go to disney world on the average of once a year. i mainly want to go to disneyland paris just to experience it so one day will be enough. i didn't plan on doing the studios because mgm is my least favorite in disney world.
i thought we would go to disneyland on our next to last day in paris, then spend the last day trying to get in whatever we missed earlier in the week.
i just keep thinking of buckingham palace and changing of the guard.......
we have no real game plan in paris other than eating at cafes and shopping!!

If you have never been to Europe and may not return ('once in a lifetime') then I would do 2 days in London, 4 days in Paris, and one day at DLRP (skipping the Studios park)

If you already have an urge to go to London, it won't really add too much on to your trip to fly into London and take the Eurostar to Paris. But if you don't go, and fly home with regrets, you will be disappointed, I'm sure....

Best of luck!

London is my favourite place in the world... I'd keep London, lengthen your trip by a couple of days.. do 2 days at Disneyland and the rest in Paris. After all - it is a once in a lifetime thing, right? what's a couple of more days to do it right?

Up until last month, I would have said stick with Paris and Disney, but we went for a short break to London recently and LOVED it - so much that we have booked again for next May. I agree - if you are not likely to revisit for a long time, I think you should do it - even though your schedule would be very tight.
