Hi, I am American living in WDW backyard( Orlando) so we are annual Pass holder, I'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I am married to my best friend. We have 2 daughters between us and 3 grandsons and another grandson on the way. We honeymooned at WDW and on the DCL, 5 years we treated ourselves to the Poly and annual passes...For our 10 years anniversary we went to DL in California, for our upcoming 15 anniversary next year we want to stick to big Disney Vacation themed anniversary... DLP is at the top of the list. Followed by Shanghai and Tokyo not any order.
Also this will be our first trip abroad.
So as a really rough ...rough draft..
2 travel days - coming and going, one each way.
I have been practicing my French.
We were thinking of spending 5 to 8 nights in Paris - possible going the Airbnb or Homeaway route, seeing the sites, the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Catacombs, and just walking the streets, taking in the city of lights.... with a couple of day trips to see the Palace at Versailles, and possibility to Normandy, I have family that fought that day, and it would be nice to honor them. Then on to DLP for 3 or 4 nights.
I have some friends that suggested that we stay at DLP the whole trip as a home base and use the trains...Using Disney transportation to and from. She said its easier to get around that way. But we are really looking to see Paris and other cities in France.
Another friend, said that they rent a really nice Airbnb/Homeaway, rental car and use the trains and use it as a home base so that we can do whatever we want.
Then a co-worker of my husband suggested that we stay in a hotel for security reason while in Paris 2 or 3 day, renting a car ( at airport) for getting out of the city to explore, as renting a car out of the city is spotty. Then travel around, drop off the car, take the train to DLP then use the disneys bus to get back to the airport.
I need all the help I can get....
