We are in Germany right now and planning a quick trip to Paris!! February 2012. We were just going to see all the sights, but then started tossing around the idea of going to DLP!
Anyone have any tips or advice? We have never been to any disney park! thanks

Hi and welcome to the boards!

You might want to download the e-book that we have on Disneyland Paris as that's packed with great information.

How long do you think you'll have for the parks? If you're a first time visitor to any Disney park, I'd recommend three days to do and see a lot of Disneyland Paris, as there's a lot there. You might also want to look at staying onsite at one of the resort hotels, as then you'll get benefits such as early entry into the parks.

If you have any other specific questions, do let us know and we'll do our best to answer them.

Thank you so much!! You are too sweet

We are going to leave on a Friday morning and come back on Monday afternoon. So looking at 3 night 4 day.

Any good places to stay? We have 3 young kids. 1, 4 and 5.

Wow, sounds awesome! February is a good time to visit DLP crowd-wise (doesn't get any better than that). Although the weekends are a tad busier than it is during the week.

Since you're first-time visitors, I'd definitely go with a Disney hotel on site. Depending on your budget, the Hotel Cheyenne, Sequoia Lodge or Disneyland Hotel are great with kids.

I'd opt for the classis 3 night package that includes 4 days worth of admission to both parks (park hopping automatically included) and breakfast.

I'm so jealous! If you have any more questions, don't wait to ask!

I think Sabine's given you everything you need to know! I would say, that while crowds at Disneyland Paris are low in February, just as a heads up, the British half term falls (I think!) this year from 18 - 26 February and it probably will be busier during that time with Brits, as the schools are out, just so you're aware.

Thanks! I was looking at that hotel and Santa Fe. Found a good deal for 4 days 3 nights for 516 euro!

Added 2 Character meals too! Anyone have reviews on the Mickey Wild West show?

[Disneybine]

I've never seen the Wild West show myself since I'm allergic to horses (and you really shouldn't go see the show if you've got problems with allergies or asthma - just a heads up).

However, I've heard nothing but good things about the show! It's supposed to be action-packed and lots of fun for kids.

I saw the Wild West show, but it was almost 10 years ago! It was okay - same as most dinner shows involving horses. Food was decent, kids were entertained.
DD Samantha, her DH and MiL just came home from a trip to London with a couple of days spent at DLP. They said they were a bit disappointed with the condition of the park; don't expect WDW standards. They said it wasn't bad, it wasn't disgusting. Their major complaint was pot holes in the sidewalks and walkways. Since DD and her DH are both in wheelchairs, this was a major issue.
