Earl of Sandwich

Fact-file Location: Disney Village Type of restaurant: Counter Service Cost: 12-14 euro for a meal featuring either crisps or a brownie. 8 euro for kids.  Option to reserve a table: No Character Dining: No I mentioned in my beginner's guide to Disney Village , that I loved the American version of this place and I was curious as to whether it's French counterpart could deliver. After all, the counter service restaurants in France are far more of a lottery than their American counterparts. That being said, I can say with pride that the food here is really good and the theming isn't half bad either. My family and I visited here on a Wednesday lunchtime and were able to find some seating on the top floor of the building. This floor was themed around an old fashioned library and had some really fun detailing amongst the ceiling and the walls. As a former literature student, I very much approved and it really made me smile.   That being said, our good fri...

McDonalds (yes I'm reviewing it).

Fact-File Location:  Disney Village Type of Restaurant: Counter Service Cost: 8-10 euro for an adult meal with a dessert. 5 euro for a children's meal. Option to reserve a table: No Character dining: No. Well what can I say? I decided to review McDonalds today but this isn't a normal maccies. It's a magical McDonalds at Disneyland. Well... it's not actually THAT magical. This restaurant is one of the least themed in the whole of the resort, in-fact for the large majority of you who have visited a McDonalds at least once in your life, this place will be very similar, if slightly larger and more French. Picture Source: Disneyland Paris That being said, with the name like McDonalds, there are some things you can trust. Firstly, you can expect your favourite dishes such as chicken nuggets, Big Macs, Fillet O Fish (although they call it the original name of McFish here) and McFlurry ice-creams. For breakfast, you can expect things like pancakes and McMuf...

A Beginner's Guide to Disney Village

Welcome to a brand new series. A Beginner's Guide. This is designed to break down each part of a particular area in Disneyland Paris and will tell you where to go, when to go there and what you can expect. It will also have some of my hand hints and tips to ensure you have the best time ever. I deliberately decided to start with Disney Village. This is because it is a giant treasure trove of great places to dine, fantastic shops and little hidden gems that you can't help but smile at. Now I know village is seen as a little "outdated" especially compared to the awe-inspiring Disney Springs, however it does have some new things to bring to the table and things that I just LOVE. 1. What are the must dos? Despite the common conception that you have to spend lots of money to enjoy Disney Village (and you're more than welcome to spend lots of euros), these 2 must dos are free of charge.  Must do number 1. See the pictures and sculptures at the Lego Store ...

Things that you could do in Disneyland Paris (that you never thought you could)

OK. So we all know that you can get a selfie outside of Sleeping Beauty Castle or ride Big Thunder Mountain but what about those little things that you had 0 idea? Well this is where this little guide comes in. 1. Have a VIP Tour of Disneyland Park. Image Description: Tour guide talking to a male and female outside of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Picture Source: Disneyland Paris Do you have a special occasion coming up? Do you have a little bit more money in your bank? Are you are the ultimate Disney fan and really want to make the most of your holiday? If you answered yes, then a VIP tour is for you.  The VIP tour currently costs 274 euros per person (including park tickets and taxes) if you are part of a group of 10 going in low season (you can see what is a low/high season here ). This is for 5 hours and includes a personalised visit according to your group's needs, priority access to your favourite rides and attractions and a reserved VIP area for all shows, parades an...

King Ludwig's Castle

Fact-file: Location: Disney Village Type of restaurant: Table Service Cost: Approximately 36 euro for a set 3-course meal and a beer outside of happy hour.  Option to reserve a table: Yes Character Dining: No.  Do you want to eat in the castle but are not willing to pay 75 euro a pop? King Ludwig is the place for you. Known for it's medieval atmosphere, great food and some of the cheapest alcoholic beverages in Disneyland Paris, it is a popular haunt for many a guest.  King Ludwig's Castle, a place where you can eat and drink like royalty. Picture Description: A sign attached to a lamp-post. Picture Source: Disneyland Paris King Ludwig's Castle is actually made of 3 different elements. Firstly, as per Disney tradition, there is a shop. This contains a manor of weird and wonderful items and there is a surprisingly lack of Disney.  Secondly there is a small bar which can be very popular between 5 and 7. This is because King Ludwig's Cast...
