If you are in the enviable situation where you and the family are all set to go to Disneyland Paris you will have all of your required possessions and belongings packed and the pockets stuffed with Euros. However, an important detail may have slipped your mind with regard to the travel. It is vital to know how you are getting from the airport to the hotel you are staying at when you arrive in Paris. There is then of course the journey from the hotel to Disneyland itself. You do not have to worry though as help is at hand with chauffeur services offering you the transportation you need during your stay.

The black cabs you can come across in Paris should not be confused with the black cabs of London. Instead of being the Hackney carriage cabs, some of the services you can find in Paris include the supply of various types of transport including private saloon cars, limousines, mini-buses and so on. You can also find some extremely reasonable prices around the city which is another highly significant benefit.

There are plenty of reasons why you should choose chauffeur services over other types of transport. Convenience is of course a big attraction and the door-to-door service offered will always be well received, especially after a long journey. Also the touch of luxury aspect; the vehicles that are used are not only in beautiful condition for the utmost comfort but they are usually fitted with all the mod-cons you would expect in nice vehicles. Also, and this is probably overlooked sometimes, driver knowledge is key. For example, you may be going to a destination which is away from the usual tourist routes and this is where driver knowledge will come into play. In these scenarios the local driver knowledge is extremely hard to beat. The chauffeur will make sure you arrive at your destination in style. If for some reason he or she does not know the route then there is always the sat-nav.

It is clear that when you are on a trip it pays to get with a good chauffeur company. They are usually easy to find online and you can book their services in this way too. Taking the chance to let someone else take up the slack and drive you around in is a very desirable option and this can also be the mode of transport that makes your trip that bit more relaxing and less stressful.

Going to Disneyland Paris is defiantly a different experience than going to Disneyland or Disney World. You will find that there are some big differences in everything from the hotels to the dining and a lot more when traveling overseas. Like any Disney Vacation, proper planning is a must and in order to have a Magical Vacation in France, you should look at doing the same.

When going to Disneyland Paris, the first thing you need to understand is that two parks are within walking distance from each other, so you do not need transportation to go from one to the other. If you like Downtown Disney in California or Florida you will also like the Disney Village here just be aware it is much smaller than its counterparts in the states.

When it comes to Disneyland Paris Hotels, you will find that Disney owns seven different hotels and they have four partner hotels. The hotels have different levels like you will find at Disney World Hotels with different amenities. The Santa Fe and Cheyenne hotels are the lowest priced but they do not have air conditioning. These hotels all offer vacation packages that you can customize to your family and are priced depending on the hotel you will stay in as well as the amenities the hotels has. The closest hotel to the magic of the parks would be the Disneyland Hotel and it would be my first choice of a hotel to stay at. In the end, the farthest walk from the Disney owned hotels is about 15 minutes so distance should not be an issue.

When it comes to food at Disneyland Paris there isn’t much of a benefit of a dining plan so when it comes to food it is good to not have the dining plan. Breakfast does come with the room when you do book a vacation package so I would make sure you eat a good breakfast in the morning to help you with your dining spending during the day. The buffets at Disneyland Paris are very good, and a mid-afternoon buffet will just hit the spot. One restaurant worth trying is the Blue Lagoon, it is in the Pirates ride like Blue Bayou is in Disneyland California. Just make sure you realize that portions in Europe are smaller than in America.

When you’re staying at one of the Disneyland Paris Hotels and want to visit Paris, the city is about 45 minutes away depending on where in the city you want to go. The metro service in Paris is very convenient.

The weather in Paris can be moderately hot, but it does rain pretty frequently. Make sure you do pack yourself rain gear to prepare for this.

As the Disneyland Paris resort is huge, it really is too big for the demand. I would recommend you check a few months before travel as Disneyland Paris releases discounts like kids stay free and free night packages. Planning too early can result in much higher prices.

Just a warning, the Disneyland Paris parks Disney World and Disneyland are very different from each other when it comes to size and scope as well as the culture. It is best to not compare but to take in all of Disneyland Paris as well as all it has to offer.

Disneyland Paris is a holiday and recreation resort in Paris, France. It is located 32 km from the centre of Paris.
