Advantages: Best Europe theme park

Disadvantages: Not as good and Walt Disney World Florida

Disneyland Paris is a holiday resort in Marne-la-Vallée, a town in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France. Disneyland Paris has two theme parks, a retail, dining and entertainment district, and seven Disney-owned hotels. The resort opened in April 1992 and was the 4th Disney Park around the world. The resort is the leading destination in Europe. The park when opened was called Euro Disney Resort but was changed to Disneyland Paris in 1995. The second theme park Walt Disney Studios Park opened in March 16, 2002.

Disneyland Resort Paris and contains theme parks, resort hotels, a golf course and a railway station.

The Disneyland Park is based on the same design as the original park in Anaheim and Walt Disney World Florida. The park is the largest Disney park based on the original Disney in the world. Walt Disney Studios Park is also another copy. This time its the Disney Hollywood studios in Walt Disney World. The park uses the same concept and a lot of the same rides.

The Disney Village entertainment district contains a variety of restaurants, bars, shops, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Dinner Show, and other venues and stays open after the parks close. This is a great area for the family after the park and goes in the small hours for the adults. The resort also has a couple of 9-hole and 18-hole courses.

The resort features seven hotels. The Disneyland Hotel is located over the entrance of the Disneyland Park and is marketed as the most prestigious hotel on property. The others are Disney's Hotel New York, Disney's Newport Bay Club, Disney's Sequoia Lodge, Disney's Hotel Cheyenne, Disney's Hotel Santa Fe and Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch. A free shuttle bus provides transport to all Disney hotels and parks.

A railway station is located by the 2 parks. There are daily services from London on the Eurostar and a new TGV line that services Europe.

The resort is very good but I have been spoilt and have been the Walt Disney World in Florida which is better. But for a Resort in Europe it as the best I have been to. I would say 3 days is all you need here and the prices are a bit expansive.

Summary: If you have not been to Walt Disney World Florida it will be excellent for you
