Vacation Club at Disneyland Paris - Pictures!

[Horace Horsecollar]

I stumbled across some good pictures of the new Vacation Club at Disneyland Paris. The theme is a French countryside village. The villas are all two-story, two-bedroom/two-bathroom townhouses overlooking the Ronald Fream-designed, 27-hole course at Golf Disneyland.

Click here. (It takes a couple of minutes before all the pictures load.)

There's just one problem. It's not a Disney Vacation Club. It's a Marriott Vacation Club -- Marriott's Village d'Ile-de-France.

Horace, Thanks for the link. Considering DLP financial and attendance problems I am surprised they got anyone to build there. Looks like Marriott did its usual fine job on the project.

Looks nice! I would stay there! Makes me wish I knew how to read French.......

Very nice. And aren't they right by the parks?

Anyone want to translate French for us?

We went to DLP or then it was EuroDisney I think? for our honeymoon. Won't be a trip I'll be taking again any time soon. I think I came across two nice people in France the entire trip.
One an elderly woman who helped give us directions and two a young Japanese tourist who took our picture. Even the staff at Newport Bay Club had attitude.

Great website! My dd is a French student, so we had fun reading the website. I'm going to let her visit over there---the best of both worlds--Disney+French practice!!!! More school should jump on this boat.

Basically, the writer talks about the resort, with the magnificent pool and lake and 2 streams (?) and how it is made to look like the rural French countryside--at least to an outsider! Kind of like Main Street USA to foreigners here, I guess.

Euro Disney S.C.A., the parent company of the Disneyland Paris Resort has certainly had its share of bad financial news (including a couple of last minute financial rescues). But Disneyland Paris itself has become the number one visitor attraction in Europe. The hotels have gone from their initial low occupancy to a point where Euro Disney has had to bring in other hotel companies to add lodging capacity (MyTravel's Explorers Hotel, Kyriad Hotel, Movenpick Dream Castle Hotel, Holiday Inn).

In the unlikely case that the French Disney theme parks ever close down entirely, Marriott Vacation Club will still have a great golf resort, a half hour from Paris, and in driving distance to many places that visitors would enjoy.

I agree. I really looks inviting. And those pictures were taken on a gloomy day before the landscaping had a chance to grow. Imagine the same resort on sunny day with flowers blooming.
