Disneyland Paris may not bankrupt you, but you might well feel it has! The problem is that that the Disney Hotels on site are very expensive, even the cheapest. You pay per room, so underoccupancy costs a lot! However, with four of you you'll be getting maximum value. If you want an on-site Disney hotel with a pool, (and one that's open in winter, as it's indoors), then Sequoia Lodge is the least expensive (it's bang in the middle of the price range there. The advantages of the Disney hotels is the 'bonus' for children (well, the young ones) of being ina 'real' Disney hotel with the characters available for photographing (in a long queue, for money!), and being within walking distance of the twin entrances to the Magic Kingdom and the newer Studios. However, their main disadvantage, apart from price, is the food, which is incredibly expensive and quite disgusting (apart from the evening restaurants which are not bad for quality but hideously expensive - I mean, really, REALLY expensive!). Worst of all, throughout the entire Disney estate (parks and hotels etc) it is impossible to get any coffee other than instant Nestle, as they have the sole concessiion. The coffee is utter muck, and vile (remember, the rooms don't have kettles etc! They want you to buy all the food in the hotel itself). Considering this is France, home of fantastic coffee, it's a disgrace. The food in the parks is just as disgusting, but that is true of the US Disney parks as well. They have sold the concessions to garbage food companies that make Macdonalds look wholesome! (in fact, the MacD at Disney Village is a whole lot better than some of the food outlets there, and the Rainforest Cafe/Planet Hollywood are probably your best eating bet - which says a lot, doesn't it?!). So, if you want better quality and lower cost for staying, look at the 'close to the Magic' hotels, which are not owned by Disney. My Travel Explorers looks good and sells out really fast - it does cabin rooms for six people with adults the main room and four children in the bunk bed room for privacy - great idea)(plus it has an indoor pool). There are also a lot of appartments in the nearby shopping centre (a taxi ride from Disney), but check if they do shuttles to the Park. At least you can self cater from the supermarkets in the shopping centre, and, of course, the actual decent French cafes/restaurants there. Alternatively, if you like the Underground trains, as Disney Park is on the RER (station right by the park entrance)you can stay at the holiday hotels a couple of stations away from Disney (eg, Novotel), or even in Paris itself.
