Are there any extreme, Disney must eats ..like the turkey legs, Mickey pants sundae, cookie ice cream sandwiches, dole whips, funnel cakes, and I could go on and on...that I should be on the look out for when I go to the Paris Disney?
I've been eyeballing the standard half-board meal plan on the assumption that DLP won't be a big foodie destination compared to the time I'm spending in London and (much more briefly) in Paris. Wondering if I'll really be missing out on all that much if I eat only at the buffets available on the standard plan plus whatever snacks I come across along the way, rather than making any table service reservations for the DLP portion of the trip.
Take a look at the restaurant menus on the official website before you make a final choice. I have been to Disneyland Paris 3 times and I never get a meal plan. They really push the meal plans and after doing alot of research I am very against them. I usually do 1 table service (Captain Jacks/ the restaurant in Pirates, quick service and snacks. The meal vouchers are only valid in Disney restaurants, they are not valid in places in Rainforest, Planet Hollywood, King Ludwicks etc in The Village.
The buffets (other than the fine dining Inventions restaurant) have pretty much the same food in different locations. The 2 pizza places have the same menus in different locations. Agrabah is middle eastern food. The burger places have the same menu in different locations.
I agree. The meal plan is generally not considered good value and limits your options a lot.
Ever since they removed the breakfast from the hotels (and added them to the meal plan), the value of the vouchers has been unclear. Also, the dollar amount won't be of much use to you, as the menu's will be in Euro's
As someone already mentioned the lines at counter service places can be very long and slow but if you try and eat outside the main meal times they are not always too bad.
Not all are open every day though so dont rely on a certain place being open.
However I think the counter service food can be really good and offers a big variety - they dont all serve the same type of food
Toad Hall (Fantasyland) - English Fish and Chips
Hakuna Matata (Adventureland) - African style food including the chicken strips linked above which are extremely nice
Fuento del oro(Frontierland) - Mexican style food
Cowboy cookout (Frontierland) - BBQ style burgers, chicken and ribs
The Hakuna Matata chicken strips and BBQ burgers are my favourite along with the Croque Monsieurs from Market House Deli on Main street
