Disneyland Paris

I wouldn't buy a ticket unless they are an authorized re-seller. I don't know if the poster above is or not, but I would be wary.

I can tell you how Disney (Florida) works with regard to fastpasses, I can only assume it is the same ?

You get a fastpass that gives you a designated window to return and you bypass the line. However, you can't get multiple fastpasses - you cannot get another one until the window of the first is open (or passed).

For example, if you get a fastpass for a ride to come back between 10:10 and 11:10, you cannot get another fastpass until 10:10. At 10:10, the best strategy is to get a fastpass for another ride and then go ride the first one.

There are very specific strategies for which rides to ride and which to get fastpasses for - I would read this board - there are experts there!

As of a couple of years ago if you go to Disney Paris on the RER you can purchase your round trip ticket and tickets to the park as a package at the RER station.

I agree with Surfmom about not buying tickets from anyone but an authorized seller. It can get tricky.

At the rides you will see a machine for the fastpass.

I agree with surfmom - I don't think the fast pass is included with your tickets. You get the fast pass at the ride itself by sticking your park ticket into a machine then it will give you a fast pass for that ride telling you when you can come back and be first in line.

One hint for Paris Disney - leave the park well before it closes otherwise there will be a HUGE line for the train back to Paris. We left shortly before the park closed, and got stuck in a very long line to buy return train tickets to Paris. If you can buy your return train tickets in advance that would be a good idea!

Do you plan to just go to Disney for the day? If you think you will be there two days out of your trip, I would check the park's web site for packages including hotel. For 5 that may (or may not) be cheaper than going in and out of Paris two days running. Worth a little research.

I have yet to see anywhere that any Disney ticket is "discounted 50%" and folks above are correct about the Fast Passes..you need a park ticket to put into a machine designated for a particular attraction to get a Fast Pass.

Those hotel packages for the on-Disney property are NOT cheap (we've stayed in the "castle" hotel and now i see the rates have gone up and when you have a poor exchange rate (in our case, US Dollars) it is even MORE expensive and I really question the value for money.

we are just planning on going to Disneyland for one day, we have already booked an apartment in Paris for a week.
Thanks for all your help.
