Travelling next week

My 11 year old daughter and I are travelling to Disneyland Paris

next week and we are looking forward to it. BUT, I am getting a

little worried about all the negative feedback on this site. We have

been before on a flying visit and really enjoyed it. This time we

are booked to stay at the resort. My biggest worry is that we convinced another family (2 Adults and 2 children aged 9 and 6) to come with us.

We are all booked to stay at Hotel Cheyenne for 3 nights and

while the reviews for this hotel all seem to be OK the park is

coming in for a lot of criticisim.

What can we do to guarantee that the children (and adults) are not disappointed?

I would just go planning to enjoy yourselves. If you worry you%26#39;re already going to take some of the enjoyment out of it for yourselves.

You%26#39;re travelling in Sept so it shouldn%26#39;t be as busy and the weather should be ok.

Go knowing food/drink is expensive so don%26#39;t stress about it.

All in all just enjoy the experience. You say you enjoyed your quick visit so just make the most of everything and have fun - thats my plan when we go next March!

%26lt;%26lt; the park is coming in for a lot of criticisim %26gt;%26gt; ???

I%26#39;m not sure which criticism you refer to as you haven%26#39;t clarified and it would take me ages to hunt through post%26#39;s....so I%26#39;m good in blind here

%26gt;%26gt;I%26#39;d recommend a character dinner on your first night, you need to eat and what better end to the day the to have 9/10 characters come to you, it really made it for ours 8 %26amp; 10 to get the uncrowded closeness and pics and authograph%26#39;s that first night...

%26gt;%26gt;get to breakfast early, after 8.00 it%26#39;s like a zoo......I know that%26#39;s hotel related but our first full day on the Sat we were having brekkie at 7.15 hence in the park and the first group to ride Thunder Mountain. When we got to Buzzlightyear, it was so quite we went on and straight walk through again for a second ride. We went during summer hol%26#39;s and bearing in mind it was a Friday till Monday too, we never had to use fast track once......why??? Cos we got our butt%26#39;s up and out early and it made such a difference. If people trundle into the park 10/11ish, it was busier. Plan your time to a certain extent, know what you want to go on, if you want the parades and shows, again plan accordingly...get your spot an hour before, the kids get the first two rows on the concrete seating to the right of the castle.....you get to see the parade first, once it%26#39;s passed head to the quite rides while everyone is still watching....I certainly wouldn%26#39;t want to be 10 people deep along Main Street

%26gt;%26gt;I personally though Buffalows Bill%26#39;s wasn%26#39;t worth the money

Hi there Pet15

I have been taking my son of 4 years to Disney fro the past 2 years.

My husband stays at home and it gives me time with him at his favourite place.

I always have a good time and ensure my son sees what he wants to sees and i just go along with what he wants to do so then he can say he has had a great time.

I would just go ,let the kids see what they want maybe take in buffalo bills (which i took my son to last year and he really enjoyed it) If you cant afford it then go to one of the restaurants at Disney Village (even McD).

I really hope you have a great break.

Thanks folks

I am looking forward to the trip and I am quite easy going and willing to go with the flow.

All we need now is the weather
