It's nice, but not necessary to speak French at DLP.Hey all!
I've never been to Disneyland Paris (or any international Disney park) before, so I figured it was time to start.
I've been to Disneyland three times, and Disney World more times than I can count. I speak very good conversational French.
First of all, the food is just average, there are some good and there are some places you should avoid, but overall it's not 'Pretty bad'. The thing is, WDW has a very high standard, and can be a dining destination. So people who come from a background with mainly WDW have very different expectations. People who are used to DL Anaheim differ again from WDW-regulars when it comes to dining, they focus much more on snacks (I think). If you are looking for authentic French food go to Paris or the countryside.I'm staying at Sequoia for three nights, with four days in the parks. I've heard the food is overall pretty bad, so I plan on making table service dinner reservations at Captain Jack's, Auberge de Cendrillon, Walt's, and Bistrot Chez Remy. Beyond dinner at BCR and the Ratatoille attraction, I plan to pretty much avoid the Studios park.
So, here are my questions...
First, do I sound like I'm on the right track?
I think I've got everything under control, but I'm not positive. Keep in mind that I absolutely do not care about meeting characters, and shows aren't a big deal to me. This vacation is about exploring the park's ambiance #1, and checking out the interesting attractions #2.
Go to Agrabah Cafe once, the rest are fine. Avoid the Hyperion in Discoveryland and Restaurant en Coulisse in the Studios.For lunch, which restaurants should I focus on?
Colonel Hathi’s, Pizzeria Bella Notte, Hakuna Matata, Toad Hall, the Plaza, or Agrabah Cafe? Is there anywhere I'm missing?
Crush Coaster, Big Thunder Mountain, Phantom Manor, Pays des Contes Fee, Space Mountain.Which attractions are can't-miss at DLP?
I already figure everything except Ratatouille is can-miss at WDSP. I'm most excited about Phantom Manor.
I'm not much of a bar person, we usually go to Fantasia in the Disneyland hotel to break the day / when we are tired, but that's more about the location.Where are the nicest bars?
I think it would be great to find somewhere quiet to have a drink each night — is my hotel the best bet for that, or are there other places?
Thank you all!
