Hi there!

This will be our first trip to Disneyland Paris we are WDW veterans. I already booked Disneyland hotel and we will be going mid October this year. I did read the unofficial guide but I still have some questions.

1. Would the hours change for October from now until then? Right now the website shows only 1 hour EMH for our days.
2. Is RnR the same track than the one in Florida? If not how is it different
3. How does SM compare to RnR florida version if it is  not the same.
4. Touring plan advice is there anywhere else that touring plans are layout other than the book? I am having a hard time trying to figure out times to make dinning reservations. Also the touring plans in the book is not very good at giving FP times.

Thank you!

EMH at Paris are changing from 2 hours in the Disneyland Parc to 1 hour, but you can go to either the Studios or the Parc. This seems to be a permanent change.

First trip here too. Some questions..

1) Santa Fe has no air con.. is this a big issue? Can windows be opened?

2) Are there Mosquitos in Paris that we need worry about?

3) The shuttle bus back to the airport.. do we need to worry about it getting too full?

Thanks all

Hi

Firstly, the windows do open in the Santa Fe but not very widely. There is no air con as you say but there is a ceiling fan which is very useful.

I am a major target for mosquitoes and, thankfully, have never been bothered whilst at DLP.

Lastly the shuttle to the airport can get very busy - the Santa Fe is the fifth pick up point so you may end up having to sit separately from other members of your party depending on the time of day.

Hope this is helpful for you, enjoy your trip.

Thanks a lot. We're on the early morning bus so hopefully that will be quieter?

As an alternative, you can walk to the park. It's a 15/20 minute walk by the river acording to Google Maps.

As in walk to the first stop to get on the bus first?

1. EMH hours are now 1 hour only but cover both parks. The 2 busiest rides at WDS have been made available.
2. The track is the same though the theming differs slightly
3. SM at DLP underwent a huge overhaul to have a Star Wars theme put on including new vehicles. Ride wise it's a lot smoother than it used to be but still isn't as smooth as Aerosmith and a bit slower.
4. Best to go to the dlp guide website or ask here. Dinning reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance, booked over the phone. If you have more flexible meal times then it works better to eat later as it's quieter but bear in mind the Illuminations show happens at park closing and you may want to work around that. Not sure what you mean by FP times. FP are given out by machines at the attraction. You can only hold one per person per park at a time. They have a 30 min slot on them and you return to the ride in that time. Once it's reached your time you can pick up a FP for another ride. Should the ride be broken down when your FP comes up (BtM is the main culprit here!) they'll let you come back later using the same ticket. There are a limited number of FP per 1/2 hour slot and when they're used up for the day, that's it, no more.
