I am not well travelled, but Gabby has been all over Europe as a child. She didn't care for France much. I do, however, love all things Disney and so does Gabby.
Next year, I will have only a tiny window to try to catch up on some much needed pixie dust. We have considered going to WDW, but to do that I usually like to take about 10 days to do it to my definition of right. Gabby is most likely going to be back in school and will only have a little break from classes and work.
So, I thought that it might be neat to take off for Europe to see DLRP. I have only 3 to 5 days to play. I need to know how this might work. I know the pricing schedule is really varied by day of the week and such. I know that everything is quoted in Euros, but I know where to find a converter.
I have read everything that I can find on the official site and have started collecting data from Mousesavers and other sites. Basically, I want to hear from other people from the US that made the leap over to see DLRP. Of course, I appreciate the input that you folks from other countries can provide also.
I would like to plan on a 4 night/5 day stay for 2 adults. I don't mind working the arrival day to happen such that the rates are lower. If memory serves, France is a day ahead of us. So, if I fly out on Saturday, I arrive there on Sunday....or so I think. I can't even imagine how bad jet lag is going to be. I want to stay on Disney property in a Disney hotel. I would like to stay in what would be considered a moderate over here, if that is even possible. Although, the idea of being able to use unlimited FP is really appealing. Would it be better for one of us to buy an AP over there for the discounts? I would prefer to not rent a car, but is this a mistake? Neither of us speaks even a drop of French...I hate that we will most likely be a bit lost due to the language barrier....maybe I can download a French primer off of Audible.com.
Does anyone know of a travel agent that was just awesome? For once, I think I might need one. I feel like I am as lost on this one as I was back in 2001 when I planned our first weekend at WDW. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the ramble. It's late and I hate it that I can't quite find an easy answer to any of my questions. Thanks. Maggie
