Just noticed in the back of the new 2008 Brit guide to DLP, there is a voucher for 20% off at Planet Hollywood when you show the book!

One thing we wished we'd realised sooner was the small minimart in the entrance to the eurostar station. We walked past it every day going into the parks then spent a small fortune on snacks and drinks in the park, then past it again every evening and then spent another small fortune in the hotels. They sell sandwiches, crisps, wine , beer, sweets and so on at almost normal prices. We found that although our bags were checked going in, it was more of a quick glance and they didn't remove any food items or drinks we had in there. we will certainly be using the minimart next time we go.

Just got back, this morning it's SO expensive,
The mini-mart is a must, for water especially as it's much cheaper Any more than a 3 day stay, get a Fantasy annual Pass. 10% of merch. and dining. Well worth it. I found that DLRP was great, but didn't have the magic that WDW has, I found it hard, as I don't speak french, so I think I missed a lot at times. We stayed at the Kyriad, wouldn't recommend, as we had a lot of ants and 2 beetles in the room The europeans are quite rude, always walking into me/queing to close. seems they don't regard personal space at all, 2 kids walked into me full force. We had a great time, and it was cheap, but If I were to go again, I will do 2 days/1 night to save some money The Blue Lagoon is a MUST DO, very, very nice.

I’m really sorry to read about your bad experience at DLRP but I also found it very interesting because everything you wrote I, personally, could write about Orlando/WDW. In fact, in your post I'd swap "DLRP" for "WDW", "WDW" for "DLRP" and "Europeans" for "Americans". The vacations we’ve had in Orlando/WDW have all been terrific but they’ve also been very frustrating and, at times, stressful. Americans really do not know how to queue. It ends up more like a “huddle” than a queue! I am not trying to say that you're wrong and that DLRP is perfect. Please don’t get me wrong, I love America and Americans – I’d go so far as to say that I’m an Americophile but I’m also a Francophile. I love both countries just the same and I also love Disney and their resorts but, IMHO, they both have their frustrations.

great tip about the mini-mart... didnt even know it was there will be trying it in October.
We too have been 'barged' at WDW mainly on the Disney transport this really put the damper on my last visit in Nov 07, it didnt bother my DH but I was well and truly fed up after our 2 week stay... but I will add it didnt happen at IOA/US on our 3rd week which I really enjoyed - you can get it anywhere i suppose. |

I would definately recommend DLRP for Halloween.It is absolutely great.The giant pumpkin in the middle of the main st is fantastic and the scarecrow pumpkins and pink witches are excellent in Frontierland.Have been to DLRP 6 times and although prices are high and some foreigners very rude, we love it.
