Hi, All. I am getting pretty serious about going to Paris and of course DLP. I have a few beginner questions though for those inclined to help me out.
First, is two days enough? It seems like it, but that's also tight. I may be travelling with some people who won't "tolerate" more, ha ha.
I am looking at the September/October window. Is this a good time? It shouldn't be peak season for Paris, but what about DLP? Do they scale back? It looks like they have Halloween there - looks cool!
I am thinking about staying onsite. I see they have reasonably priced hotels like Cheyenne or Santa Fe. Does anyone have thoughts on these hotels? Are they close enough to the parks to walk?
Speaking of, we of course will also want to visit Paris. Is it easy enough to use the Disney hotels as our base and go into the city for the day or is it too far? It doesn't seem that far, but I don't want to spend tons of time in transit. Is it better to move to another hotel for that portion of the trip?
What does everyone like to do in Paris? I mean, I'll be honest, DLP is the main draw for me personally. What is super cool to see? I hear The Louvre and Eiffel Tower are so crowded and barely worth it.
As a city, London appeals more to me. Is it easy to travel there on the train? I was thinking about an itinerary that brought us in through one city and out through the other. I would appreciate anyone's experience with that.
Anyway, I am starting to get excited about all of this, but it is a bit overwhelming. I need to exercise my passport more so I'm getting this rolling. Now, if Phantom Manor opens up in May, I should be all good.
Thanks for the help!
