Cape Cod (Dinner)

Fact-File Location: Newport Bay Club Type of Restaurant: Buffet Service Cost: 42 euro for an adult with a soft drink and 25 euro for children. This resturant is available to anybody on the plus and premium meal plans. If you are staying at Newport Bay Club, you may also dine here on the hotel dining plan but you will need to pay separately for your beverage.  Option to reserve a table: Yes Character Dining: No.  I would like to begin this entry by thanking the thousands, if not millions of fish that die every year for our consumption. If it wasn't for you wonderful aquatic creatures, Cape Cod would be a very sorry affair. Yes, Cape Cod, Newport Bay's buffet restaurant is an absolute haven for fish lovers. Whether it's the large variety of seafood based starters such as smoked salmon, shrimp and mackerel or the most beautifully cooked salmon on property, there is a fish dish for everyone's palette. Now I love fish so I was a very happy teddy bear. The...

Bistrot Chez Remy (aka Chef Remy)

Fact File Location: Walt Disney Studios Type of restaurant: Table Service Cost: 46 euro for 3 courses on the Emile menu with a soft drink.This goes up to 67 euro if you are eating from the Gusteau menu. 19-33 euro for children according to menu selected.  Option to reserve a table: Yes Character dining: No I have previously said that one's dining experience at the studios varies entirely on what you are willing to pay. Whilst I bashed Restaurant en Coulisse as an overcrowded mess, I gave Resturant des Stars a 10/10 and called it my favourite dining location in the park. So the million euro question becomes where does Bistrot Chez Remy lie?  I will start by saying that this place has the best theming in the whole park. Whether it's the newspaper reviews that are in the lobby as you wait for your table or the bottle caps that are wired together to make your seating, this place is full of little Easter-eggs that will delight any fans of the original Pixar ...

The Yacht Club

Fact-File Location: Newport Bay Club Type of Restaurant: Table Service Cost: 50-55 euro for 3 courses from the set Regate menu with a soft drink. 26-33 euro for children depending on their set menu. You can use your plus dining to order from the Regate menu and premium dining to order anything else.  Option to reserve a table: Yes Character dining: No. Prior to my most recent Disney trip, I had never visited a table service restaurant outside of the village. Let alone a hotel restaurant that wasn't buffet style. However, thanks to our meal plans, the family and I decided to try the Yacht Club. Newport Bay's table service restaurant that specialises in New England cuisine with a Mediterranean twist. Being on the plus dining plan, my family and I ate from the Regate menu. This is the cheapest of the two set menus but let's be honest £43 for 3 course without a drink is pretty damn expensive. Like I paid £25 for everybody to eat at Burger King at a service st...

Restaurant des Stars

Fact-File Location: Walt Disney Studios Park Type of Resturant: Buffet service Cost: 33 euro for an adult buffet with a soft drink and 18 euro for a child's buffet with a soft drink. This restaurant is also on the standard level of the meal plan. Option to reserve a table: Yes Character Dining: No. Restaurant des Stars  is to Walt Disney Studios, what Plaza Gardens  is to Disneyland Park. Both of them are on the standard meal plan, they both are very popular and they both are buffet restaurants. So are there any differences?  Yes. For starters, I personally think that the theming here is done slightly better than it's Disneyland Park counterpart. Why? Mainly because of the little details, such as caricatures of famous film stars and little movie boards which are dotted around the restaurants. This combined with the traditional beauty shared by Plaza Gardens means I can't help but smile where I go to dine here.  Think of Art Deco Hollywood ...

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...
