Hi,

We have a trip to Disneyland Paris booked for March '13, flying with Air France and arriving at Terminal 2E

Does anyone know if there are any shops which would sell drinks, sweets etc. - would like to stock up before getting to the resort. I've found a mention of a shop called 'Relay', is this a general convenience shop?

Also, I've read various bits of advice relating to the transfer from the airport to the resort - can anyone share their experience in this regard (bus, train or booked taxi?) - there are four of us travelling.

Advice much appreciated.

Steve.

Relay is a general newsagents, sells everything wh smith would do, not sure how mobile you will be, but a can to the nearest Carrefour means you can stock up in bulk.

As for getting to Disneyland, it's been a few years since I went but Disney have dedicated transfer buses which pick up from the airport and takes you to the resort hotels. It's expensive, but 4 people And luggage, take a cab

We used the train, seems the easiest way as it stops at the entrance to euro Disney. You can either get a bus from the train station to your hotel (total scrum and watch out for the pick pockets) or walk. There's a garage near the entrance which sells beers and munches for reasonable rates.

I think it's a Relay in the RER station at Eurodisney. Vastly cheaper, better quality and more choice than in the park. It's not a large store, mind you!

How about getting a hire car with sat nav. Less than an hour and you can stop at any store you like on the way. Ditto for bogs.

eek

It's a horrific and complicated drive on one of Paris's orbital dual-carriageways. Only for confident drivers.

I guess so, but I've done it dozens of times, and I still sometimes end up on the peripherique!!

I did it last time alone in my 1 week old vRS - I was bricking it!

everyone should have to drive it once in their lifetime, it is bonkers.

I actually spent some of my childhood in an apartment above the peripherique - my poor mother had to drive it twice a day on the school run.
