    Crush’s Coaster for non-coaster people

    I will agree that you should avoid it, based on my experience of talking my poor mum into it. She isn't a thrill ride person but loves BTM. In my head, as a coaster person, Crush is quite mild, and I persuaded her to go on. She was miserable and I felt terrible! When I was on it with her that...

    Day trip from London to DLP - crazy? doable?

    I had a half day to visit the parks last August after being at a conference and had a really lovely 7 hours there - see my little report here: https://disboards.com/threads/solo-visit-for-7-hours.3705891/#post-59819480 The difference is that I have visited the Paris parks a lot (I live in...

    Is a half day worth the effort?

    Dining tips for vegetarian tween

    I'm veggie and visit regularly, so the first thing I'll say is - glad you're going to Agrabah! It's by far the best veggie selection in the parks. I'd agree with olafLover that the Captain Jacks experience isn't THAT special - if you're paying a la carte prices there I'd recommend going to...

    Advance dining reservations

    Thanks both! It seems you need to call to book which I'm hesitant about doing due to the cost, if it's unnecessary. By all accounts it seems like March will be quiet, so I think in the end I'll take my chances and hope we can get into both the restaurants we want.

    Hong Kong Disneyland Trip Report 12/26 to 12/28 2018

    Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip report! We'll be in HKDL for the first time in 6 weeks, and your report is so helpful. Especially your comparisons with Paris, which is my "home" park. We're staying in the Explorers Lodge, so thank you for going to see it and sharing the awesome video - it...

    Dining +/- Characters at HKDL

    This sounds weird but I'm actually hoping to go to Dragon Wind and avoid characters (I would love it but my husband doesn't like character meals!) Does anyone know if there are always characters in Dragon Wind? I'm not finding the website very clear. Thanks!

    Somebody inside the park on Sunday who can do me a favour?

    Thanks! I will look for it and buy one for you if I possibly can. I will be home in Scotland on Wednesday 21st and can post it after that, send me a message with your details and we can sort it out :)

    Weekday or weekend in March?

    Definitely weekday - a Monday or Tuesday in the parks will be very quiet and I can pretty much guarantee you'll see more than you would on a Saturday even with longer opening hours. Saturdays are, obviously, extremely busy as people come for the day or weekend from all over Europe. If it's...

    Somebody inside the park on Sunday who can do me a favour?

    Hi ThBa - I will be there and can try to get one for you! Do you know where they'll be selling them? It says cast member exclusive on it, I'm not sure what that means. Where did you find the info about the merchandise? I've been trying to find out about special things happening for the birthday...

    Quick Halloween Solo Trip 31/10-1/11

    Wow this looks amazing! Great work with your costume. This is making me really want to go to the Halloween party night one day. And your photos of the show are brilliant. I thought you might appreciate the ensemble cast from my Disney villain themed fancy dress at my 30th - we were doing the...

    Sunny Halloween at Cheyenne Day 3

    Amazing report that has helped me get excited for our trip - leaving on Saturday! I don't think we'll get the same incredible weather but it is Christmas season after all :santa: weather forecast looks about the same as Glasgow! It's strange seeing your family so grown up - I remember years ago...

    1st trip to DLP & France- suggestions for order of travel

    Seat61 is a guy who is a train expert, and after many years of blogging now has a full time job offering detailed explanations of all the train options you can take. As someone who loves train travel (even in the US - I went from New York to New Orleans by train!) it is my favourite site. I'm...

    1st trip to DLP & France- suggestions for order of travel

    Happy planning - sounds like an exciting trip! I thought I'd chip in with a positive word about train travel and seeing France. I live in Scotland and regularly travel in Europe by train. I have travelled by train from Paris to: Belgium, Venice (via Turin and the Alps), Switzerland, Southern...

    DLP to CDG early in the morning -- suggestions?

    I've used EZShuttle and they were excellent. The good thing is, so early in the morning, the roads will be pretty empty and your car will get you there quickly. Personally I wouldn't take the chance with cutting it too fine in terms of time, I'd recommend just getting a private shuttle. CDG is a...

    Another Dining Plan Question

    You've got it right - the monetary value of one Plus voucher is around 24 euros (or was in January at least). If you have 30 euros worth of food you'd then have 6 to pay. Each adult can use one voucher per meal. I've got no direct experience with the children's menu thing, but I imagine it will...

    Can someone help with trains to and from DLP - Paris and London

    Overall, I would recommend trains over flying between London and Disneyland - trains are better for the environment, less stressful, and door to door usually quicker. The Eurostar is a good, relaxing experience! If you were to fly you'd need to factor in time to get from central London to the...

    What restaurants for the half board deal?

    It's not the most obvious thing! There used to be a table on the website which showed which restaurants were in each plan, I'm not sure why they don't do that anymore. We had the Half Board Plus deal on our last trip and we ate at Chez Remy, Annette's, Agrabah and Inventions (using the vouchers...

    What restaurants for the half board deal?

    It says your package includes the PLUS option which means Chez Remy is included. It's a 2 course set menu, or your vouchers can be used for their monetary value (around 24 euros from memory). On the Disneyland Paris website (the UK version at least) you can view the menus for each restaurant...
