Disadvantages: Money burning site, crowdy

I have been in Disneyland Paris with my 4 year old son in April 08. We travelled by Eurostar which was an experience for him as big as Disneyland. We stayed at Hotel l'Elysee Val d'Europe which is one metro/train station away from Disney (5 mins ride). There are also free shuttle buses every hour to and from hotel. Decent hotel for a couple of days stay. There is a big shopping mall across the street from hotel where you can eat and buy for less than in the Park.

Park is huge and we spent only 2 days. We explored only not too adventurous rides as my son is not a fan of scary ones. He liked Alice's land of wonders, Pirate's land - real pirate boat and playground with pirate stuff. We queued a bit longer for a racing car ride but it was a long enough ride to enjoy it. Restaurants are overcrowded and bit pricey but you have to put up with that I guess.

We liked the parade of all Disney characters at 5 PM. Nice costumes, good music - complete spectacle.
I had an impression that in many cases parents enjoyed more than children - reviving their childhood memories. Many children looked more interested in candy floss and pop corns.
Whatever is your reason to go you'll probably enjoy it as everything is there to make you live that Disney dream (and spend a lot of money).

Summary: Great attraction, relax and enjoy
