I am about to give up on going to DLP because I am finding planning very overwhelming, and as someone who has been often to DLR and WDW, it's very frustrating to feel so lost.
Maybe someone can help! Lol
We are going to Europe next summer for 8 weeks, and we will be in France for about a week. We have been to Paris before, and are planning to spend 3 days there again. I thought we would add an additional day for DLP. My thought was to stay at a hotel on site for two nights and go to DLP for one day. July 14-16 2019 are the dates I was planning, with the 15 being our day at the parks.
Issues:
Cost. It seems like so much money! I am seeing that I need to spend around 2K, which is an awful lot of money for one day in the parks.
Hotels. We are budget hotel people when we visit the parks because we spend so little time at them. I would prefer to stay on site since the partner hotels involve a little more coordination (it seems) to get to the parks. We have two young kids, and I would like a room with two double beds. This doesn't seem to be something I can be assured of getting, and we could show up late on the night of the 14 and be given a room with one king bed for four people (those roll cots are always super uncomfortable and I would not be thrilled about getting one for the money we are paying for the room).
Tickets. It doesn't seem that I can change the number of days with packages like I can for Disneyland here (even though I would never do a package here, but I know you can edit that). I am being quoted 3 day tickets even though we are only going to the parks one day. I thought, well, we can go for a little while on our checkout day maybe, but still, I am being charged for 3 days when on our arrival day, we won't get there until after the parks are closed, so why do I have to purchase a ticket?
I'm ready to throw it in because no one in my family besides me is all the crazy about going anyway. My kids would be fine skipping it since we go to WDW and DLR so often here, but I really want them to experience this new park (and I know they would really enjoy it). But with how stressed it is making me, I am thinking that with all the other planning i have for the rest of the trip, it isn't worth it. Can anyone help? Am I completely missing something? (sorry if my tone is snippy- I am really just frustrated after hours of research)
Oh, and I have done the check different country's websites thing, too. Yes, there is definite price differences, but my overall issues remain.
