Ok heres some advice and personal opinions.
I would def stay in a DLP hotel. Make sure that if u can afford it and want the experience to be better that you stay at the New York, Sequioa, Newport or Disneyland htel. The other two are not really exciting hotels and to be honest can be a bit dispting.
NewPort is Huge so make sure that you get a room closest to the reception area.....they may stik u in one of the wings miles and miles of walking through hotel corridors. I stayed at the Newport and my room was close enough to the sequoia that I could saved some money and stayed at the Seq. Same thing with the seq. Make sure u stay in the main building and not one of their miles and miles away room close to the cheaper hotels. Sounds stupid but when u get there ull c what I mean.
The New York and Disneyland are the only two hotels I havent stayed in as im saving the best for last. I usually go to eat at the Park side Dinner in the NEW YORK. Good food and great service.
Ok with regards to the parks.......you can do the studios in half a day if busy.....half a day......I wont spoil anything but all I can say is forget any ideas of MGM STudios. The front court is absolutely beautiful. Awsome colors and nice structure but go into studio 1 and the illusion dissapears. Let us know what u think anyways. The PARTNERS statue was placed in this park....why I have no idea but anyways. Wont say anything else abot the park as I didnt like it and would like u to get ur own experience.
Disneyland really is beautiful. In summertime it should be nicer. Rides are more up to date ie Space Mountain is amazinggggggg, Pirates and Phantom manor are cool too. The outside of rides like in Fantasyland are very very nice.
Bad bits in my opinion.............
-Service is pretty bad dont expect the usual smile
-The park may look diteriorated at times, specially in areas that they feel "dont matter" ie Skull Rock....when u go to the top it smells as if people have been using it for the toilet.
- Merchandise is the same everywhere u go even the studios. I c this as a positive though as I end up not buying 100 things
Paris however is an amazing Place. beautiful exciting it really is an experience. I was most impressed seeing the actual places that inspired Disney Films.
The nicest piece of the park is the Castle. It really is beautiful.
Most sit down rest have been turned into fast fod but some good ones to enjoy are..... Blue Lagoon placed inside the ride like in DL. The SIlver Spur has some kikass steaks and the desserts are nice too. Ofcourse theres Park Side DInner iw york. If you like seafood youll get plenty there as the newport and sequ serve mostly seafod. Oh yeah u MUST have a meal at WALTS on main street. Although not serviced as it shuould be the decor inside and upstairs is amazing.ill leave you guessing with the theme! Its not just about WALT
One thing id suggest is keep your eyes closed as you go through "downtown Disney foremally known as "Festival Disney" This is where they failed... I think. ts a bad version of Pleasure ISland and im not a huge fan of Pleasure island. Annettes Dinner is there and that is quite nice to eat.
Well I hope in some ways this helps ya. Im from Florida but have lived in Europe for a couple of years now so i tend to retreat to DLP whenever possible to meet up wth CM friends however unfortunately ive become quite negative of this park as I was spoiled back home.
C it for what it is.. try not to compare and enjoy Le Chateau de la belle au bois dormant!
Theres an awsome statue in front of disneyland Hotel called legends....t really is a beautiful statue.
ENJOY!
ps let me know if theres any more advice or help i can give ya
