My parents have decided to take DH, DS20 and I to Paris this May. We are just starting the planning, but DH, DS & I cannot possibly be that close to DLP and not visit! (We are long time Disney park fans with many visits to the USA parks). However, time we spend at DLP is time we aren't in Paris with my parents. When they announced the trip to us (Xmas gift) they made a point of saying they knew we would need to take a day or two from the Paris visit for DLP. (They are weird and aren't really fans of the parks - they have been to WDW and DL with us, but have no interest in going back or seeing DLP on this trip!)
The question is ... can we see enough to feel like we didn't miss anything major in ONE day or do we need to plan two days for DLP? If it helps with seeing it in one day, we are open to paying extra for Fastpasses (I think 1-day tickets + FP expense would actually be cheaper than 2 days of park tickets)
We are willing to skip rides/shows that are pretty similar to ones in the USA parks. eg. If Star Tours is pretty much the same as WDW and DL, there isn't really any need for us to do it at DLP. We do want to see anything that is unique and different. None of us speak French, so a show that is solely in French is probably pointless. (DH & I speak some German, DS speaks a little Spanish)
We will be staying somewhere in Paris (still not decided - but hoping to find something convenient to the train to DLP). We are looking at mid/late May - probably the week of May 20-27 - so I think we are before schools get out in Europe for summer vacation, but that probably also means shorter park hours. Obviously, we will not have access to EMH.
My parents and DS20 have been to Paris before, but for DH & I, this is our first trip to France. Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated! - Thanks
