Hi mate im not sure about the pass things or tickets but the whole experiance is magical, that is however from a kids point of view.

For adults its crap, its more to do with the adventure and experiance than the rides but saying that if its your own kids then if their happy your happy

My mate is the second biggest kid on the planet And im guessing the trip is for him really, and him taking his daughter is just a cover up

dont get me wrong its a quality place, but the rides and nightlife are rubbish. our feller loved it because you did, im exacly the same, i would do anything for my misses if it makes her happy, its just like the parent child scenario mentioned above.

It is romantic in the evening, especially if it snows!

Hayley is there anything to get in advance to make it more magical for a 4 year old ? Never been, or even wanted to go to either myself so its all alien to me

I thought disneyland paris was brilliant i took my 2 kids when they were 5 and 1, my daughter loved it, hoping to go back next year, they will be 10 and 6 by then.
When we went most of the little girls were walking round with minnie mouse dresses on, so maybe you could get her something like that, from the disney shop or something.

Took my g/f 5 years ago to it over New Year. I didnt enjoy it and we both got very sick from the train journey out there due to the germs being passed through the air conditioning. We had to have a doctor out to the hotel and as a result it screwed a lot of plans/flights up for the rest of the holiday (we were only supposed to be in Paris for a long weekend whilst on holiday in the UK).

The actual park wasnt my sort of thing due to me not enjoying theme parks and it being freezing. I much preferred the Paris sights.

My 2c.

I thought its quality on the evening.

i was there for new years (3 years ago) and all the bars were open, loads of different theme bars, unfortunately paris isnt the cheapest place to drink!!!

they had a massive fireworks display at midnight. and my friend proposed to his missus, as they were going off

cant remember if there were any good rides or not though

thats when we went too, it was too crowded, cold and full of people pushing and shoving.

the only good thing is that lenny henry was staying in our hotel (new york) and we got chatting at the pool.

never again on a new years.

I thought it was absolute tosh. Took my younger Sister there about 2 years ago now and was the biggest disappointment for both me and her.

During winter months half the attractions are shut, which is a right ball ache after you´ve just walked frigging miles to get there.

Planet Hollywood Restaurant is worth having a meal in but that´s prob the only highlight we had.

Wont be going there again anytime soon.

From a kids point of view its a really memerable place but if you are going with the misses it is still good fun.

I would recomend staying at the New York Hotel on the complex as it had everything from a club to pool to ice rink. and everything was themed and based in the middle of the village.

Ill never forget it!

na honestly he loved it!

We did have a nice weekend for it. sun was shining and plus work paid for it so free things are always better!

Only down part is that some of the kiddy rides are in french. oh and we went to the effial tower. What a Shit hole is that place, never going again! Although climbing the tower was a good memory!

In the main hotels they bring out the characters at meal times so i'm sure any kid will love that!

oh and yes must agree we did meet a couple of rude french people but most of them are ok think its just very sterotypical.
