I am not sure it is too ambitious or not. It depends on how much time you spend here and how you organise your trip. I actually love Europapark, we go every year for my daughter's birthday. You can take the train (high speed train) from MLV(DLP) to Strasbourg and then bus or ride share or similar to Europa Park (or the other way around if you start with Europa park). If you fly from the US, it is probably best to land to FRA (Frankfurt) and then the train (check the EuroCityExpress Frankfurt-Milan). You could also try to land closer (Basel or Karlshruhe maybe?) but this might imply an additionnal connecting flight.Is it too ambititous? We are thinking of flying in to Germany's Europa Park, then taking a train, bus or some type of paid shuttle (if it exists) to DLP. I prefer not to rent a car if possible. Is this too much for one trip?
Hey Karin,
I figure 4-5 days in EP, and then 4-5 at DLP. In this way I can justify flying : ) We have never been to DLP or E.P. and normally to WDW we go at least 2.5-3 weeks. It seems based only on my short time of research that a week at DLP is pushing it, so I thought why not try to add on a trip to E.P. to stretch it out to 2 weeks. The kids are very excited about DLP, but not so much on E.P., so I thought to do E.P. first, and save DLP for the end.
I may just have to get over the fear of renting a car in a foriegn country and bite the bullet, rather than lugging small kids and suitcases through busses and trains..
Thanks as always for being so knowledgeable and responsive!
