While we are on the subject, a question to people who have been to
Disneyland Paris, preferably with small kids: is one day enough to get
sick of the place, or would you recommend another day or two? We are
planning to take our kids (3 and 13) there and debating on whether to
buy a 3-day pass or one-day tickets and then see if we want to come
back the next day. At this point I am inclining towards one-day
tickets since I am afraid it might not be a very pleasant place with
all the crowds in July. Advice, anyone? TIA

In high season, I recommend two or three days, because of the longer lines.
In low season, one or two days is sufficient. Small children tend to really
like the park, so they certainly won't mind returning for an extra day or
two. They like to go on the same attractions over and over (impractical in
high season, but it can be done in low season).

See above. Two days is good (I don't remember if they have two-day
passes--if not, try for three days).

It is very crowded, but for the same reason you'll need more time in order
to see every attraction, which tends to favor coming back for a second and
possibly a third day.

Remember also that there are two theme parks now: the Magic Kingdom itself
(discussed above), and Walt Disney Studios. All of Walt Disney Studio's can
be seen in one day, and I don't even think it's worth the admission price.
The Magic Kingdom, though, is very, very hard to see entirely in one day,
particularly in high season.

Nevertheless, one day is better than none, and you can often manage a few of
the highlights in one day in high season, although you'll spend most of it
waiting in line.

Avoid the "combined tickets" that give you all day in Walt Disney Studios,
followed by admission to Disneyland after 5 PM. This is a trick to unload
people into the less-popular studios, and you'll end up being bored at the
Studios, and then not having enough time to see the much more interesting
Disneyland park. Works great for Disney, but is a real disappointment for
guests.

Thanks, Mxsmanic, that was exactly what I was looking for. Very
practical!

With kids I would take another day
So you could go on a slower pace with all that crowd...
You'll travel from far so enjoy!
