I don't know why but I thought it would be to have a thread dedicated to Disney Village as I for one love it and thought it would be fun to see other people's opinions and what they like (don't like) about it.
First off there's the shops - there can't be many people who go to Disneyland Resort Paris who don't like to have a good shop, and these are the Mecca of Disney Stores! I don't think we've ever walked through Disney Village and not gone in the shops - the big one in the middle is amazing, such a big shop with so many wonderful things to buy.
The bars and restaurants - often a good place to eat during the busy meal times as they are not as busy as the park eateries. We've eaten in King Ludwigs, Planet Hollywood, New York Style Sandwiches and drunk in the Sports Bar and Billy Bob's Country Western Saloon. We also ate in Rock n Rocll America which used to be where King Ludwigs is now - the food and service were good and there was a show while you ate - we saw magicians, singers and other circus type acts.
Buffalo Bills has to be done at least once. A decent feed and a great show - I was a big fan of the Buffalo themselves, great to see them stampeding around the arena. Has anyone ever been on the winning team? You get a coin or somehting don't you? Of course no Disneyland Resort paris fan's collection is complete without the Buffalo Bills Cowboy Hat - ours are from the yellow team. There is also the Buffalo Bills Cavalcade at 6pm which livens the place up.
If you are lucky you may catch a good music act on the live stage - last year on the day of my birthday we walked through Disney Village and there was a rock band playing - really good covers of Keene, U2, Muse, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones etc. was an awesome way to finish off a wonderful birthday.
At Christmas Disney Village comes alive with the Bavarian Market featuring huts of sellers offering various gifts, foods and drinks. I did hear a rumour that had been stopped which would be an awful shame as it made a really nice post-park closing evening experience.
There are a few other attractions that I haven't tried, like Hurricanes Disco, Bungy Trampolines and the Mechanical Bull. Plus if you count the area next to the lake as Disney Village then there's Panoramgique, Pedalos and various other fun little attractions.
All in all we love Disney Village and find it a most valuable and sometimes overlooked part of Disneyland Resort Paris.
