Money Savers
Money, money, money. As fun as Disneyland Paris is, it will cost you a lot of money and not only for getting in the park and sleeping somewhere. All the food, toys, souveniers, photo's and more will cost you money. Here are some tips that might help you save money in the parks!
- Pack enough drinks and water bottles. In France you can't drink the water, only bottled water and out of the drink fountains. The drinks inside the park are pretty expensive and are a wast of money.
- Take some snacks with you. Not only chips or candy, but also some things that fill you stomach. This will help you not get to hungry and want to eat expensive food in the park. Eating in the restaurants once a day is fine, but when you do it more then once it gets expensive. You can fill the water bottles at the drinking fountains, which are all around the park.
- Bringing food to the parks is fine. They will check your bag, but they will allow any kind of food. You can't picknick in the parcs (so sit on a blanket or something and eating). Not eating in the restaurants can save you tons of money.
- You can look at the menu's for the restaurants at home. This can help you save money. Some restaurant offer their food outside the menu's. Going for this can save you a lot of money, because you pay around 3/4 euro's for drinks and you can bring those with you. So why would you pay for it in a menu?
- Disneyland Paris offers a lot of great toys and souvenirs, but they are also pretty expensive. When you go with children, they might wanna have stuff, that's not in your budget. Most children want to dress up like their favorite character or they wanna have a doll. I can recommand searching for cheaper toys when you are at home. You can buy dresses and other outfits in the stores at home or look on the internet for them. This will save you money. And most children won't mind or even notice. I once saw a men giving his daughter a bought at home dress and he told her she could buy a tiara in the park (which is much cheaper than a dress).
- Be on the look out for reduced goods. At some times of the year Disneyland has a lot of Sale! Most of the time these are seasonal goods.
- Disney also offers certain offers. When you buy for a certain amount of money, you can get something else for cheaper. You can find these offers at pay desk.
