Eurodisney Help – Eating Out – who's been?

Our 1st time next week with the kids at Disney. A few people have been giving us stories of 'A meal out for 2+2 is over 100euros'!! If it is that much are there any tips and advice of where to eat nearby? The trip was planned as a long weekend type of treat for our kids but it looks to be ending up as much as a Summer Holiday. We will have a car and will staying at the Sequoia. Many thanks in advance.

we ate at the blue lagoon (underneath pirates of the caribeen ride) its expensive but nice.

We stayed at the cheapest lodge, I think this is the best option and use the money saved on a nice meal.

The other option that I have heard of but not tried is to stay in central paris and catch the train to disney, apparently it can give you best of both worlds, though maybe not with young kids

ridiculous prices. financially, you're doomed.

we took a butty box to the buffet breakfast 😉

CHB, cheers for the recommendation. Looks like its gonna be an expensive treat!! The good thing is everybody says the kids have a great time. I think a trip into Paris one night might be on the cards.

Terrhawk, brill idea! Stock up on the breakie, by the way was it ok?

loads of bread rolls, jam, cooked meats, cheese, etc. sod them, make a load of sandwiches and take them with you. We made LOADS.

We were not the only ones behaving like pikeys, BTW. Paying 6 quid for a hot dog gets very old very quickly.

12.50 Euros for a maccy D's. 18 Euros for a pizza.
15 months ago that was.

You'd be better off doing a week's shopping at the motorway services.

I'm ranting now.

As already recommended, the buffet breakfast will easily provide you with a decent lunch! Don't be shy, no one else was when went last year.

McDonalds is about the cheapest place you'll find for the evening. Avoid eating in the hotels/lodges in the evenings very expensive!

WOW!! This is just the info I was after. Is there a fridge/minibar in the room?

our room at the Sequoia was very basic. I think it had a kettle but apart from that it was only a bit better than a bothy 😉

For what we would have spent there in a long weekend, we went 70 miles up the road to a Eurocamp holiday for 10 nights!

Had a great holiday and a great day at EuroDisney.

Pot noodle it is then 😆

No fridges in the rooms at Sequoia!

Just came back last week. all of the above is correct. especially the brekkie tip!!!

yeh, don't let us put you off. Your kids will absolutely love it.

There's a restaurant guide on their site that lists the different eateries in each 'zone' and the price range. Just pick one of the cheaper ones for lunch in advance and it's fine. If you go to the 'themed' restos with on tap prince and princesses then you're doomed

Take your own bottles of water though – they are scary prices

Oh, and for the evening, just go into the shopping centre in the centre of town. There are plenty of very nice restaurants at very sensible prices.

We found our 5 days pretty expensive. It was a brilliant time though our kids thought it was fantastic. The eldest was tall enough to go on some of the roller coasters and loved it. The youngest was still young enough to buy into the whole concept of Mickey being real.

We tried not to get too concerned about the whole expense of the thing and enjoy the experience, it was pretty special.

what is the nearest (easily driveable) town?

Yeah, kids are dead excited! (me too)!!

Were going at Easter so I'll start force feeding the kids tomorrow. Might have to tell them that it's only snails and frogs legs once we're there that should help. All the exhibition stand builders I work with are experts at making a pack lunch at breakfast. I usually go with the eat enough to last all day method myself and then do the same at lunch if it's available and same again in the evening.

The Aerosmith roller coaster **** RULES.

what is the nearest (easily driveable) town?

Marne-la-Vallée. There are various cheapo places there (depending on what you call cheapo of course 🙂

There's a whole industry of unofficial guides to Disney stuff, mostly based around the US sites, but a good place to start would be mousesavers.com, and some good links on their Paris page. A good link for what you're after might be
