I am planning my first visit to Disneyland Paris for sometime in late November or early December. Based on what I have read, I think I'll get a decent overview of the two parks in two-and-a-half days, assuming I visit on weekdays, but I'd like to get everyone's perspective on that.
Thanks, Tamara |

FWIW, you should plan on doing the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show on that half day; it's a must-see since there is nothing else like it in all of Disneydom. |

| davewasbaloo Wed 4/16/2008 9:34a | I agree with Russ here. I can spend a week at DLP and be happy. But to do it justice, three full days and Buffalo Bills are absolutely the minimum I would recommend, especially as the park closes as early as 6pm sometimes during that time of year.
any other questions, let us know. |

Where were you guys before my trip lol.
My wife and I power walked through DLP and WDSP in 1 day and did DTD on another night, but I do reccomend at least a few days to see everything. |

| davewasbaloo Wed 4/16/2008 12:10p | You could have asked William. Buffalo Bill is the finest dinner show I have seen anywhere on the planet, and it has Disney all over it. It is awesome. Also for fine dining - don't miss the California Grill. Also Walt's, the Silver Spur and the Steakhouse are all very special. |

| Zarniwoop Wed 4/16/2008 1:15p | Buffalo Bill is fine show but dinner wasn't anything special. And if you don't eat fast enough you don't eat at all.. I lost my food half eaten. :-/ I was too concentrated on the show. However our team won GOLD! |

| u k fan Wed 4/16/2008 3:31p | I do agree that while the show is top-notch the food isn't anything to write home about and you have to be happy to eat in the dark.
3 days should be alright on weekdays!!! |

So what kind of food should I expect? Is it buffet style and if yes then how vast are the selections? Are there choices of entres? Is bottomless soda available? Are there different prices for different seatings based on show visibility? Tables, booths or benches?Do I sit with people outside my party?
Is every show basically the same or do they have different nights/seasons devoted to different themes?
Do disney charactors make any appearances or are they the star of the show?
Is there mandatory audience participation(I hate participation) or any interaction?
How long is the show and approx. how many guests per sitdown?
Get on it!!
Thanks gang. |

Tickets are one price, 59 euro, so about $100. And where you sit is first come first serve. As you go through the turnstyles in a western town style set, they give you astraw cowboy hat with different color bands - blue moon, red rock, gold star, and green valley, yep, you guessed it, the are the ranch names and determine where you sit. The earlier you arrive, the closer to the action you will be seated.
