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 ...

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...

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 Now I know village is seen as a little "outdated" especially compared to the awe-inspiring Disney Springs, however it does have some new things to bring to the table and things that I just LOVE. 1.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 ...

I have been lucky enough this year to be granted the honour of visit two of the happiest places on earth. Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney World Resort. I have also noticed that some of our Yankee friends like to come over here from time to time and see how we Europeans do things. So I decided to talk about 3 main differences between the two parks and how to plan for each difference. Now there are some obvious ones like that fact that one is bigger than the other and geographical differences, however I'm going to tell you the ones that will affect how you plan your next magical trip. Difference 1: How Fastpass works In both cases, Fastpass allows you to cut the queue for some of the most popular rides by giving you an allocated time to return to the ride in question. However, this is where, unfortunately (or fortunately according to your holiday style) the similarities end.  In Walt Disney World, if you are staying at an official Disney hotel (you can see the full list her...

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...
