Default EuroDisney 2014 trip

Myself and the other half are considering EuroDisney, for a short trip next year with our little un. She is 27 months old though, so not sure if she would be a good age really...

Anyway, what time of year is best for going, while also taking into consideration how busy it'll be and obviously cost?

I would suggest going when the weather is not fooking miserable. The climate in Paris is not massively better than southern England - so you are looking at summertime. Which is when the rest of Europe wants to go as well.

Thinking of a similar thing but in 2015. Our son is currently 31 months old and if we had the finances, would take him next year for sure. I'd say 3 is an ok age for Disneyland.

Know a few friends that have been and hated it. "Overated and expensive" is the words used.

They only managed a few of the rides due to huge queue times, staff we're rude, and everything costs a fortune when in there.

We was going to book this and was put off when speaking to people about it.

As your daughter will be three next summer as others have said the weather will better hopefully, l would go then. personally l think she will enjoy it. Obviously the height restricted rides will be out, (but you and your partner could go in the solo riders line). Disney do make you pay but as a spectacle I think it is very well done and IMO there are not many things better than watching your children enjoying themselves. But be prepared when she wants to buy every princess outfit available they are not cheap.

We went with our girls a few years ago. I didn't really want to go but went with it and must say I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. That was May bank holiday time and it was roasting there. Never had to queue that long either even for the big rides.

People always slag it off saying its not as good as the states even though most haven't been to Paris disney. We found it clean, not too expensive and very well organised for parades etc.

So many past threads on there, pretty much a common theme to them all - don't go.

I went with my boys (6 & 9)at half term and it was ace. Big Thunder Mountain was a massive hit with them despite the 60 minute queue or 30 mins with FastPass.

I wouldn't bother going with a child that young though mate as there are not do many rides for nippers.

Well we have been to Disneyland Paris and found it hideously expensive, but have since been to Disneyland Florida and we have been back on many occasions.

People are absolutely correct, the US is a much better experience, and cheaper.

If it is done as well as those in the USA your child will absolutely love it, and so will you I bet.

Good luck.
