Disney Paris

I'm heading off to Disneyland Paris on the 14th. Anyone know how much spending money is needed roughly, just going with my GF. I'm going for three nights so was thinking of taking about £350. Lunch,dinner and alcohol is what i'm budgeting for really. Any tips?

Take a look here:

Can access all the menus.

But an average Buffet dinner will cost around €25 - €28 Euros PP excluding drinks.

Lunch try the Earl of Sandwich its really good, (its inbetween both parks in the Village)

If you need access to more booze beyond the bars, there is a huge hypermarket (Auchen) one 5 min stop away on the RER at Val d'Europe.

Or closer still there is a Esso Station next door to the Santa Fe Hotel (you can take a free bus there) which stocks wine etc.

Those prices aren't bad at all. Probably wont be drinking too much as will need to up early to go in the parks. Are there mini bars in the rooms?

I think in the Sequoia Lodge only the Montana rooms have mini bars. (These rooms are in the main building)

Sequoia Lodge is a great choice for this time of year.

I ate at the planet hollywood, can't grumble, seemed to have the shortest wait too.

I was told by the park staff to avoid buffulo bills i think?

Really? I was planning on going to watch it as well.

I would allow around £50 per person per day for food/drinks. Everything is so stupidly expensive there

It'd probably be worth visiting the supermarket at Val d'Europe as well to just stock up on drinks and snacks. As mentioned already it's only one metro stop away from Disneyland and there's even a shopping centre/outlet if you want to spend some time away from the parks.

Food was not amazing but the show was easily worth the money.

Also the unlimited beer they offer, is really only a couple of glasses and its super weak.

But you can purchase wine etc in the preshow bar area.
