Disneyland Paris lovers will be thrilled to learn about the new changes for Disnelyland Paris for 2010. Advertised as the “New generation” landing this year, this involves new shows, new parades and new characters arriving at Disneyland Paris. So, you may be wondering who the new generation are? Well, the new generation characters are:

• Buzz Lightyear
• Emile
• Lightning McQueen
• Mike Wazowski
• Nemo
• Princess Tiana

Some of these were in Disneyland Paris before but with a less clearly defined role (i.e. Woody and Buzz) but now they’ll have more going on. There are three new Toy Story inspired rides coming this year as well, Toy Soldiers Parachute drop is expected by late 2010, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin and RC Racer, both of these are also expected to be up and running by late 2010.

Disneyland Paris special offers

You can either fly, or even more conveniently, catch the Eurostar straight to the resort. Some parents get worried about how to organise the holiday once they get there, but Disneyland Paris make it easy for you by tailoring a program to suit you and your children which includes accommodation and entry passes to the park.

How long should you stay at Disneyland Paris for?

Most people tend to go to Disneyland Paris for a weekend or 3-4 days rather than a week.  However, you can, of course choose to go for as long as you like. The magic of Disneyland Paris is closer than ever as well thanks to some amazing deals on passes and on accomodation for 2009. All you have to do is get there by hopping on the train. Couldn’t really be much easier.

Check out some of these fantastic offers, or if you want the full picture, scoot straight over to the Disneyland® Paris official website for special deals and last minute offers including the current special offer which is a whopping 40% off.  Disneyland Paris also have other amazing deals running at the moment including an extra nights accommodation and day passes absolutely free. It’s definitely a great year to go to Disneyland Paris.  One issue that worriest some people is the cost of the food and drinks once you’re there so here’s our top tip.

Disneyland Paris pre-booked meal vouchers – go half board with complete choice of where to eat!

Make sure you pre-book meal vouchers before you go because it works out much cheaper to buy these in sterling in the UK (without any exchange charges), and due to the very strong Euro, they are worth more than they cost  when you’re at Disneyland Paris. All you do is present them as payment when you are settling your restaurant bill and they should either cover the whole of your bill, or you may be asked to pay a supplement (it depends on which kind of vouchers you’ve bought, and where you’ve eaten so obviously if you but the cheapest vouchers and present them against a meal at the most expensive disney restaurant then there’s be quite a large difference, but the Half Board Plus disneyland paris vouchers will fully settle your bill at many really good restaurants. Nobody wants their holiday to be ruined by someone stressing over the cost of everything you eat and drink, so this can also help to keep the peace (as well as actually saving you money!). You can use them at any Disneyland Paris restaurant (including Buffalo Bill’s wild west show, though you may need to pay a supplement unless you have the most expensive vouchers) so you’re not tying yourself to any particular restaurants.

Tip number two

Once you have made your booking and recieved your travel documents, decide which restaurants you want to eat at and telephone to book your tables.  Up to date contact numbers are once again on the Disneyland® Paris official website . There’s nothing worse that getting all geared up to visit a particular Disneyland Paris restaurant only to find it full booked especially if you’re trying to get in to a meet and greet with the Disney characters and you have children with you (which, let’s face it, is likely!).
Just make sure you add on the half board vouchers when you  book because you can’t buy them in the park.

For some of us, getting a pair of sunglasses is only part of the story because if you normally wear glasses or even contact lenses, then you may need to get your sunglasses fitted with prescription lenses so you can really relax on your holidays. Contact lenses can dry out easily on a hot beach, and prescription sunglasses can really make your holiday experience a lot more comfortable, and that means maximum relaxation for you.

They have a fantastic range of styish frames at stunning low prices, all of which can be fitted with tinted or photochromatic lenses and with UV protection.
