Restaurants I want at Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris has a lot of restaurants. If it didn't, this blog would be very short and very boring. However, I started to think the other day about what restaurants would compliment the current line-up. So here is a short little list with my personal ideas and suggestions of where they could go. 1. A family style restaurant in Frozen Land  Picture Source: Disneyland Paris Treasures For those of you who are new to Disney Dining terminology, a family style restaurant is a hybrid between a buffet restaurant and a table-service restaurant. Your server brings the food to your table and you are entitled to have as many servings as you wish. It's really good because you get the typically higher quality table-service fare with the flexibility to eat as much as you wish. Despite this, Disneyland Paris is yet to have a family-style restaurant and I personally don't understand why. With the recent announcement of a 2 billion euro expansion including a brand new Frozen La...

The Lucky Nugget Saloon

Fact-File Location: Disneyland Park/ Frontierland  Type of restaurant: Currently table service (I'll explain the currently in this review).  Cost: 23 euro for an adult combo meal, 13 euro for a children's meal and 8 euro for an afternoon treat. Option to reserve a table : No. Character Dining : Yes (signature experience only), Menus for anywhere change. This allows a fresh experience for the diners and thus allows more business for the restaurant. However, changing the type of restaurant you are is a completely different beast. During the last 5-10 years, The Lucky Nugget Saloon  has been a character dining buffet, a Tex-Mex buffet, a counter service eatery and now a table service restaurant that offers afternoon tea with the Disney characters.  This means that for the first time, I can't truly give you a 100% accurate review when it comes to the food because what I have personally experienced here, isn't recent enough to be justified with these new...

Top 9 things to know before you go.

Guys, it's time for a taste of the Disney magic. However, Disneyland can be a minefield of food, rides and crowds if you don't plan it properly. Therefore it's super important that you have all your information to hand and I'm here to give you 9 things you need to know before you arrive. 1. Be aware of peak shuttle bus times If you are staying at a Disney hotel, you will get free shuttle transportation to/from the Disney parks. Now, this is awesome  BUT there are certain people that don't seem the get the basic concept of queue. This means that scrumming is very popular and can be stressful. Like seriously, some W****** don't care if you have a child, they're amendment that they are getting that seat.  Therefore it is important to take note of peak shuttle times and, where possible, potentially walk back to/from your hotel via Disney village. These peak times are: Between 8 and 10am. 90 minutes before to about 90 minutes after park closing time...

A basic guide to the meal plans (2018)

Important note: The following information is correct as of the 7th November 2018. Disneyland Paris may change this at any point and the blog may be updated to achieve this. If in doubt, double check the Disneyland Paris website.  I thought that I would start this food blog with a basic explanation of how the meal plans work. This is for many reasons. They work VERY  differently to their American counterparts.  At the time of writing, Disney Holidays have a deal with a free full board meal plan.  I have had experience with the meal plans before. What is a meal plan? A meal plan is an option where you can pay for your food in advance and then enjoy eating when you arrive at Disneyland Paris. They are really good because they allow you to budget food in advance so that you can enjoy spending your hard earned euros on nice things like Disney plushies. So how do the plans work? You can choose 3 different catering options: Breakfast: You can eat bre...
