I frequently lurked these forums for weeks before my Disneyland trip and you really helped me out a lot, and saved me a bit of money with all the top tips. I thought it would be a bit rude of me not to post a little thank you to all the forum members and administrators who add top tips to this website.
As a little thank you, I have made a cute little video of my trip and uploaded it to YouTube, have a little look and hopefully it will get you in the mood for your next visit.

(It was filmed on one of those old Super 8 cameras.)
So, thank you all for all your help.
See you again soon :)

Here's a short report of my own, on my DLP experience.
Sequoia lodge
Literally a 10 minute walk from the park through the Disney Village. It actually takes longer on the bus than it does walking.
The breakfast was great if you like cold meat, cereal, cheese, croissants, coffee and orange juice. I thought I'd get into the French spirit one morning and I had olives and tomatoes on toast with a garlic spread. It was lovely, but the garlic smell stayed with me for the rest of the day, much to the annoyance of my girlfriend. School boy error I suppose. I settled for the croissants the next day.
The rooms are great. Cleaned with a new soap and new clean glasses everyday.
The cocktails at the bar are brilliant but rather expensive at €11 a pop. I do advise you to try at least one, and sit down by the rip roaring fire in the Sequoia lodge bar one night after the parks.
Disney Village
Just outside the Disney village there's a train station, with a newsagent inside. It is way cheaper than anywhere else on the Disney estate and I don't think many people know about it. €2 for a can of beer, €1,60 for a bottle of pop and it's the only place that I saw that served cigarettes and they were cheaper than UK prices. Which was a surprise.
Billy-Bob's and the Sports bar were great if you wanted a cheaper snack/meal. You had a Main + Dessert + Beer for €13. Which is hell of a lot cheaper than all the other places.
King Ludwigs Castle restaurant has a happy hour from 17:30 - 19:00 which is buy one get one free on all beers. Which is a great place to stop for a wind down after a long day at the park. Plus the BOGOF offer justifies paying €7 for a beer.
Planet Hollywood is a great place to go but me and my friends had a bad experience when we visited this time. It didn't have the same atmosphere as the first time I went and the staff didn't really look that bothered.
Rainforest cafe, lovely food and lovely a staff. A bit on the expensive side but well worth the experience. I paid around €26 for lamb burrito's, a side order of chips and a large glass of diet coke.
I wanted to visit the IMAX theatre, but there weren't any English language films being shown. Which was a shame. Even though, I was quite tired at that point and I probably would have slept through half the film. So, I saved myself €12 there.
Disneyland Parks
I'll let you decide for yourself what the parks are like. Plus, I wouldn't want to spoil anything for you. Everyone has a different experience, but, the only thing I'm saying is, everyone left with a smile on their face.
Loved it :thumbs:
Thanks for sharing =D>
We loved the video, it looks like you had a brilliant time.
I love the video!<3
Reminiscing about my trip to Disneyland Paris last year and thought I'd check out this DLP Trip report that I posted. It's brought back loads of great memories and I'm gutted that I'm not going this year now. Ahh well, even more of a reason to start saving for next year.
