Paris (Disneyland)?

I was there a few months ago. Depending on the season, the queues can be huge. I was there right before the peak season started, and the average waiting time was 15-30 mins. Two days later, when summer holidays started, the average waiting time was about 1 hour. It really depends what you want to do as well. Space Mountain and the Indiana Jones roller coaster always have huge queues no matter what time you're there. You can buy a fast-pass but then you have to be at a certain attraction at a certain time, which isnt always doable if you're stuck in another queue. The shows are free, but you have to collect tickets for the Lion King performance at certain times. This is all indicated on the Disney map that you can pick up for free at the entrance.
The Disney Studios are fantastic and a lot more relaxing (less queues as well), but you do need to plan carefully if you want to see everything in one day. The roller coaster there is great (better than space mountain as less painful for the neck), and the stunt show is fantastic too. You can get times etc on the Disney Studios Map, also available at the entrance. Most shows have head phones that broadcast in different languages so you'll be able to understand everything. Star Tours (star wars-like attraction) doesnt have this though. You can meet characters on the main square somewhere around 10am I think. You can meet Sully from Monster's Inc there too. He is only there for an hour each day because his suit is so warm.
As for the prices, imagine going to Eddy Rocket's (or Eddie's as it's called in the UK) twice a day and thats about how much you'll pay there. Average of 10-15EUR for each meal. I can highly recommend Ludwig's Castle in Disney Village as they serve proper food and not junk food as a lot of other places. The Rainforest Restaurant is very good too. If you want to have lunch or so with the characters then it can get very expensive. If you want have dinner somewhere, try to go just before the park closes as there is a chance you need to queue otherwise, and that can be up to an hour sometimes.
Also the photos with the characters are about 12EUR on average but well worth it. Unless you pick up your photos in the morning, the queue for these are normally very long. Count on 30-60mins. There is also a cinema which shows movies (I think only in french though) and they have the latest releases usually.
Well, thats all I can think of. I hope this helps and Enjoy Disney!

You ll be there for the Xmas season which is really pretty. There are different parades and shows on at this time of the year. Even an ice show in the Chapparal theater,Frontierland with Mickey and Minnie on ice! The queue s should nt be too long for the rides though. Its a big tourist area so there is quite a mark up on prices. A hot dog in the park is about 5 euro I think. But there are set menu s in most of the restaurants for around 25 euro for 3 courses. All the Disney hotels are great. The best 3 in my opinion are Newport bay club, New York and Disneyland but at the mo it has a lot of scaffolding around it for maitenance work. Hope u have a great time, enjoy!

Yes we went about 3 years ago in February. It was cheap to book because children went free
We stayed in the Cheyenne Hotel.

The queues were ok, on average around 30 - 40 min wait, some were longer i.e. star tours, thunder mountain others were shorter. The shortest wait I had was for Space mountain, nobody wanted to go on it, but if you have a strong stomach I would recommend it (scary)

The prices were to be expected, a little on the high side, but we weren't overly surprised.

On the whole (unless it's changed dramatically) things were slightly higher in price, and the queues were never a major problem (you just have to expect it before you go) If it's a school holiday I would say it would be a lot busier.

You could get a fast pass to the bigger rides which gives you a time to come back and queue in the quick lane.

We had a great time the kids loved every minuet even though it rained constantly while we were there!

Have a great time!

I've been there, it's worth it!
The queues are not too long now, it's the low season.

Disney parks tend to be more expensive than the surrounding areas. Paris is one of the most expensive places in Europe so that makes Disneyland Paris pretty pricy. The lines for rides can be long but they do operate a fast pass system which can help you organise your time better. Some of the table service restaurants are quite good but the fast food is not. If you are from the UK you may find the European style of queueing a little pushy but some of the rides are well worth it.
