I went with the family about 5 year ago and will be going again at the end of August on the way back from the family holiday in Perpignan.
My children were age 7, 4 and 2 last time and while it was fine and enough for everyone to do we said at the time that we would go again when the youngest was the age of the oldest at the time.
Obviously any specific knowledge I have about the park(s) is out of date at the moment.
There always seem to be a bewildering number of deals on at any given moment with children going free or free hotel stay or half board for under 12s or whatever. Whenever I've actually priced it up it come out much the same though.
How many will be in your party, and what ages?

I've taken my kids 4 times to Euro and once to Florida, couple of things i would suggest.
Book your tickets before you go, paying at the gate is extortionate..... which leads to inside, the cost of food, gifts etc is ridiculous, you don't really have much choice though so just go expecting it be be what it is and enjoy it. When you get there, if you haven't been to Disney before, doesn't matter how old you are it will take you back to being a kid, immerse yourself in it, even try some of the dumb rides like small world etc.
Europeans dont queue ....... its a fact they don't, you'll be in a queue and they will just walk in front of you, the French are ignorant, you know that, they know that, they don't care.
Go while its still quite warm, we went at Christmas one year and it was ****ing freezing, wet and very cold, its not fun when its like that and they close some of the rides.
I've stayed on site Disney and offsite, onsite will do your head in, we stayed in the Cowboy hotel (can't remember name) the music is !$£@%$£ unless of course you like banjo/country and western music and the food was poor. The best place we stayed was about an hours drive away at one of the Euro parks near Soisson, even consider staying in Paris then you get the best of both worlds, you can get a train from Paris direct to the parks.

Was there as a young adult with a mate without any kids along. Felt I could get most of it done in a day catching a super early train from Paris in the morning. But yeah, with a kid you'd need a lot more time.
Depends on the kid I suppose, but for me two days would seem like enough. Not like a kid has to absolutely ride every big ride whilst there. At least for me I would go for 2 days there and 2 days in Paris rather than 4 days at Disneyland for example.
Had no problems getting there and back by train from the centre of Paris.

These forum sites will give you some good information.
Been there a few times,flew once and caught the eurostar the other times. I say eurostar is the best,i think you can get a direct train to eurodisney or you may need to change at Lille some other times.The train station is directly outside eurodisney,once outside if you'be booked one of the hotels connected to eurodisney the yellow buses are free to each hotel or if you booked one of hotels just outside eurodisney its just a short drive away in a taxi,some of these offer a free bus shuttle to eurodisney as well.Just be aware on coming home in the evening from the park its just one big scrum to get on the busses,so get your elbows out!!
With eurostar if you know what dates you are going you can get some good price deals if you book early enough,the journey is pretty quick and you see some of the country, though the only hassle is you need to get your luggage ready as it gets pretty crowdwd just before you get off and its a race to get everything off the train, so make sure you don't forget any bags etc.
Food is expensive but if you have breakfast at the hotel just take as much as you can from the breakfast buffet at the hotel!!!
There is a food park as such outside eurodisney where there are number of restaurants,one of which you should go to is Cafe Mickey, but you need to book your table in the morning either via your hotel or by going there yourself,its a great laugh,all the characters will be there,and if you say its your little girls birthday(hint hint)you may get some extra attention from all them on top.
Once in the park just embrace it,you'll have a laugh,the ques are a bind but you can get fast pass tickets for the popular rides and you be humming the song you'l hear every single day for the next few months afterwards.
One ride is Finding Nemo,one big crazy ride.

Thanks all, as usual tremendous advice

You staying on site? The Eurostar takes you literally right to the door of the hotels and park.
My advice, wrap up warm as I've been in November and January and it was FREEZING both times so there's a good chance it may still be cold in April.

Not sure whether to stay on site or not, by the above its pretty mixed messages, it would be easier, extra time in the park but obviously really expensive

I can't believe nobody has given it the whole "woah that's a bit serious Marky, I thought you were more of a playa" thing
But in general I would advise you not to go to any of these soul sucking (para)sites
Just read back... Did anyone say it was brilliant, or did they focus on the transport and how extortionate the low quality food was?
Stay in Blighty, f*ck the FrancoYanks

Doesn't make a difference really,theres one hotel next door to the park,if you want to pay top euros for, the other linked hotels are just 5 minutes away even off site the hotels are only 10/15 minutes away. i've stayed in both and there is no difference really,the park is open at 10am till 9/10pm,you've got plenty of time in there,there is a parade of characters during the day but there is a main one in the evening and a big firework display as well so you be there till then as the park lights up in the evening as it gets darker,time will fly by.
I say you could do the main park in two days and the film studio bit in a day,but you can buy tickets enabling you to go back and for. It be easier as there is only three of you,if you had a load of kids of different ages they will want to do different things so you be saving a lot of time being a smaller group.
Don't do this. DO. NOT. DO. THIS.
I went on the Small World ride in Florida when I was 14. The song is still in my head.

This.
We went about 8yrs ago (so things may have changed) and stayed on site and you are very much a captive in regard to refreshment/food. There is a an outlet mall that takes a bus journey to get to which we did, just so we could stock up on water/fruit etc. We stayed in the New York Hotel (really nice) and would steal fruit from the breakfast bar there to take with us each day on the park. There's only so much trash food and drink you can handle in a day...
That said, we had a great time and our daughter absolutely loved it. Neither my wife or I had been to Disney in the US so it was great for us too watching the parade and all that type stuff. It's an amazing feeling seeing your children in absolute awe when the characters come and interact with them.

we're going in June. My ones already climbing the walls. Every time he sees the eurostar, it becomes "eurotrain to take me to Mickey Paris"
