This was the third time we have stayed at the Disneyland Hotel.
Ok where to start. There are many things wrong and many things right with this hotel.
It is very large and very pink! Wrong It is at the main entrance to the park. So, so right after 13 hours of fun.
Food is unexceptional for the price. Wrong The Disney charatcters come to visit you at your table. Right, just to see more daughters face when she turned round and Minnie Mouse is blowing her a kiss.
Room decor was tired and needs refeshing. Wrong The family room I booked was huge, one of the largest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in. Right.
Overall the hotel accomodation itself is not exceptional, but the Disney extras make it worth the extra money. I booked family room for the first time and would recommend it. Each of us got VIP Fast Pass, whcih meant we could use the Fast Pass queue as many times as we wanted after 11am. This alone is worth the extra money. Over the three days we must have saved hours of queuing time with these.
The staff, as you would expect are courteous, but not particularly friendly, but hey this is France.
The biggest thing I noticed this time was the amount of smoke in the hotel. Since the smoking ban I have become very aware of smokey places. This suprised me that I have got used to smoke free air so quickly. I know this is France, but this is essentially a place for children, so cut the smoking!
It is expensive, and there are areas that need some imrovement, but the promimity to the park and having the characters around at breakfast and dinner is worth the extra.
