When I was starting my research on Disneyland Paris, I think one of the things that intrigued me the most were the Disney “partner” hotels! As I said in my post about their on-site resorts, those are geared towards Europeans that want a taste of America – well, we don’t really need that, do we? We are in Europe, so we want a lovely European or Fantasy-land type flair in our resorts! So let’s look into those off properties partner hotels and see what they are all about! Read more

Disney Cruise Line: Spas on a Dime
Vacationing on a Disney Cruise is the ultimate luxury! From elegant décor to beautiful ocean views you are sure to feel fully relaxed when cruising. One thing that I found to be particularly enticing about a Disney Cruise was the spa. There are ample opportunities for mom and dad to get away and enjoy a little pampering without having to worry what your little ones are doing. This is all because of the WONDERFUL Kids Clubs and Teen Clubs that the Disney Cruise Line has on board. Read more

It Just Wasn’t Disney
Last weekend, my husband and I went away for a long weekend. We visited a beach that we haven’t been to often, but it was within an easy day’s drive, so it was a great place to go when you only have a few days. Now you may think it is odd that I am writing about this today on The Affordable Mouse, but there is a reason why:
Because we spent the entire time saying, “it’s just not Disney”. Read more
Out of the World Summer: The 411 on Disneyland Paris!
We are back fresh from Europe! Are you eager to learn about Disneyland Paris!?! I’m going to be brutally honest, if you want to save money, don’t go in the summer! I think that, for the ultimate Disney fans, it’s something you should see. If you aren’t all that interested, save your money for something bigger and better in France. There is a lot to do, but that is for another time and place 😉
I loved being in another Disney park. The decor and the rides were great! Their Space Mountain was awesome, it has a fast take off and some twists and the decor and theme may even be better than Orlando’s. Most of the rides were comparable to the ones we know and love. We rode the following: Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Small World, Lancelot’s Carousel, Hatter’s tea cups, Pirates of the Caribbean (no Jack Sparrow in theirs!), Indiana Jones Coaster and the Haunted Mansion. The Indiana Jones coaster was more like a “wild mouse” ride. Personally, I like the show better;) Their Rock and Roll roller coaster was down while we were there, so there wasn’t too much to do in the Studios Park besides Tower of Terror. Like our Hollywood Studios, their Studios Park is a lot of shows and experiences. It was very crowded so getting on everything was never a possibility. Read more
