Who's been to Disneyland Resort Paris? - Page 2 - PassPorter - A Community of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel Forums
As of January 1, 2019, we have closed our forums. This is a decision we did not come to lightly, but it is necessary. The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk. The server software itself must be updated, and it cannot be without removing the forums.
So it is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our long-running forums. They came online in 2000 and brought together so many wonderful Disney fans. We had friendships form, careers launch, couples marry, children born ... all because of this amazing community.
Thank you to each of you who were a part of this community. You made it possible.
And a very special thank you to our Guides (moderators), past and present, who kept our forums a happy place to be. You are the glue that held everything together, and we are forever grateful to you. Thank you aliceinwdw, Caldercup, MrsM, WillCAD, Fortissimo, GingerJ, HiddenMickey, CRCrazy, Eeyoresmom, disneyknut, disneydani, Cam22, chezp, WDWfan, Luvsun, KMB733, rescuesk, OhToodles!, Colexis Mom, lfredsbo, HiddenMickey, DrDolphin, DopeyGirl, duck addict, Disneybine, PixieMichele, Sandra Bostwick, Eeyore Tattoo, DyanKJ130, Suzy Q'Disney, LilMarcieMouse, AllisonG, Belle*, Chrissi, Brant, DawnDenise, Crystalloubear, Disneymom9092, FanOfMickey, Goofy4Goofy, GoofyMom, Home4us123, iamgrumpy, ilovedisney247, Jennifer2003, Jenny Pooh, KrisLuvsDisney, Ladyt, Laughaholic88, LauraBelle Hime, Lilianna, LizardCop, Loobyoxlip, lukeandbrooksmom, marisag, michnash, MickeyMAC, OffKilter_Lynn, PamelaK, Poor_Eeyore, ripkensnana, RobDVC, SHEANA1226, Shell of the South, snoozin, Statelady01, Tara O'Hara, tigger22, Tink and Co., Tinkerbelz, WDWJAMBA, wdwlovers, Wendyismyname, whoSEZ, WildforWD, and WvuGrrrl. You made the magic.
We want to personally thank Sara Varney, who coordinated our community for many years (among so many other things she did for us), and Cheryl Pendry, our Message Board Manager who helped train our Guides, and Ginger Jabour, who helped us with the PassPorter-specific forums and Live! Guides. Thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm. You made it all happen.
There are other changes as well.
Why? Well, the world has changed. And change with it, we must. The lyrics to "We Go On" for IllumiNations say it best:
We go on to the joy and through the tears
We go on to discover new frontiers
Moving on with the current of the years.
We go on
Moving forward now as one
Moving on with a spirit born to run
Ever on with each rising sun.
To a new day, we go on.
It's time to move on and move forward.
PassPorter is a small business, and for many years it supported our family. But the world changed, print books took a backseat to the Internet, and for a long time now it has been unable to make ends meet. We've had to find new ways to support our family, which means new careers and less and less time available to devote to our first baby, PassPorter.
But eventually, we must move on and move forward. It is the right thing to do.
So we are retiring this newsletter, as we simply cannot keep up with it. Many thanks to Mouse Fan Travel who supported it all these years, to All Ears and MousePlanet who helped us with news, to our many article contributors, and -- most importantly -- to Sara Varney who edited our newsletter so wonderfully for years and years.
And we are no longer charging for the Live Guides. If you have a subscription, it's yours to keep for the lifetime of the Live Guides at no additional cost. The Live Guides will stay online, barring server issues and technical problems, for all of 2019.
That said, PassPorter is not going away. Most of the resources will remain online for as long as we can support them, and after that we will find ways to make whatever we can available. PassPorter means a great deal to us, and to many of you, and we will do our best to keep it alive in whatever way we can. Our server costs are high, and they'll need to come out of our pockets, so in the future you can expect some changes so we can bring those costs down.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing support over the years. Without you, there's no way us little guys could have made something like this happen and given the "big guys" a run for their money. PassPorter was consistently the #3 guidebook after the Unofficial and Official guides, which was really unheard of for such a small company to do. We ROCKED it thanks to you and your support and love!
If you miss us, you can still find some of us online. Sara started a new blog at DisneyParkPrincess.com -- I strongly urge you to visit and get on her mailing list. She IS the Disney park princess and knows Disney backward and forward. And I am blogging as well at JenniferMaker.com, which is a little craft blog I started a couple of years ago to make ends meet. You can see and hear me in my craft show at https://www.youtube.com/c/jennifermaker . Many PassPorter readers and fans are on Facebook, in groups they formed like the PassPorter Trip Reports and PassPorter Crafting Challenge (if you join, just let them know you read about it in the newsletter). And some of our most devoted community members started a forum of their own at Pixie Dust Lane and all are invited over.
So we encourage you to stay in touch with us and your fellow community members wherever works best for you!

I've been about a dozen times. We went for opening day as we figured it was going to be our only chance to be at the opening ofa Disney park. On that occasion we stayed at Hotel New York.
Since then we have stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, Newport Bay, Seqoia and Camp Davy Crockett. The Seqoia is probably our favourite but the Camp might have been if you didn't have to have a car if staying there.
I think it is a very pretty park and good for a Disney fix but has nothing on WDW

i have just come back off of my 2nd trip to DLP and it was even better the 2nd time.
I stayed in the Santa Fe for 2 nights and loved it.
We watched the parades and they were magicaql but the fantalusion parade we watched it and then went back to our hotel because we thought that theere wasnt any fireworks and literally as soon as we got to our hotel the fireworks started but we couldnt be bothered to walk back so we missed that.
The finding nemo rind was fantastic except i had my eyes closed for the shark bit because i am a bit of a baby.
I had a great time and have just booked a holiday to disney world florida for November 2008

Welcome back, Sammy. Soundy like you had a truly magical time And you seem to love Santa Fe as much as I do. I'd LOVE to hear more about your trip and the new attractions at DLP!

It's been a few years - 6 as a matter of fact! OMG! We went with our 3 DDs (then they were 18, 8, 4. We also took a family we were close to at the time - Mom, Dad, 2 girls (18, 8) and 2 boys (15,12). We stayed for a week - at the hotel that is the gate to DLP. Can't remember the name for the life of me.
I'm going again in May - on MY OWN!!
I have. We went there for one night during our honeymoon. For some unknown reason, we didn't schedule it into our original plans for the time we were in Paris . Once we were there we decided, how could be be this close and not go??!! So we called and got a room at the Disneyland Hotel and took the train out. It rained the day we did the park and was beautiful the day we headed back to the city, so our timing wasn't ideal, but it was still a great experience and I'm so glad we did it.

My son and I got back yesterday from eight days in Paris and we went to DLP for two of those days. It is wonderful, the prices are a shock in France but the experience of going there far out weighs that. The park is nothing like WDW in Florida but the attractions are different. The look on my seventeen year old son when we entered the parks was priceless it was like he was five again.
I'm glad you enjoyed it - I'm looking forward to taking my Grandsons in September. I agree Paris is wonderful to visit as well - not sure if I'll get to visit it during the next trip to DLP as it's intended to be a Disney treat for the little ones.
Been there twice, last time in July of 2001. Absolutely loved it.... Thought the dragon under the castle was great! Would like to get back there some day (soon).
We stayed in the Disneyland Hotel for a week in mid Jan 2004 for my dd's 1st B-Day.We had some really bad times there so i haven't been able to talk my DH into going back. But soon muahahahaha.......
When I did a study abroad program (munich) my roomie and I spent the first 4 days of our fall break there! (fall 1995) They had just stopped calling it Eurodisney I think We were only going to do 2 days, but the train we took to get there had a little bomb go off on it about half an hour after we got off, and so we decided to stay in our happy place a little longer, and then just escape to Geneva. We stayed in the Disneyland Hotel. It was SO wonderful!!! I wish they made sugared popcorn in the US!!!
