Received a all expenses paid holiday to disneyland paris from my boss for Christmas (yes I know I was blown away too).
We are going on Friday and coming back Monday. Can anyone suggest the best places to eat? We are getting breakfast and one other meal a day included but I don't fancy queuing for an hour to eat to find nothing suitable. Any tips or pointers would be great I'm on a fairly low carb diet but can handle some.

Thanks again

Can't advise on places to eat. Just to warn you that when we were there it was very expensive to eat out.

Tuna,People spitting on the floor and ironing.
What a lovely gift to have been given,I have been myself,cannot say which restaurants are best,maybe pick up some menus when passing the restaurants and hopefully there will be something on there that you could eat that doesn't raise your levels to much,this way you could study the menu before going and not waste time.
Have a wonderful time.

Not a straightforward answer, as it depends on you package you have.
Most give a buffet style breakfast in the hotel, and a meal at a park food outlet in the day, or a restaurant or village at night.
The grade of outlet depends on the package.
(Anything from a burger outlet in the park, to a 5* restaurant in the hotel or village.

If you have breakfast included, and a meal, I would suggest eating the buffet breakfast, (it's an all you can eat buffet, usually basics like cheese and bread, and many people load up and make sandwiches they take into the park for later, security won't care. Take some water bottles in as well, you can refill them from drinking fountains as you go round)

Park cuisine tends to be waffles, pancakes, fast food, and possibly a basic restaurant. They tend to be selectively closed in winter though, so there is no guarantee you can eat in one you choose beforehand.
Don't worry about queueing, menus are on display, and queues are small at this time of year.

The list of restaurants is here.

http://www.disneylandparis.fr/restaurants/

(The french website is far better than the uk version, and the uk list is down at the moment)

If you are taking a car, you can always load up on non carb foods at Auchan on the way in, if not, there isn't really anywhere apart from the main train station opposite the entrance. Disney low carb means there isn't a sugar dusting on the glazed donuts. The station food is slightly healthier.
There is a MacDonald's in the village, their salads are ok.

It's well worth using the extra hour you get with the hotel pass, (you get into the park before the day visitors), and fastpass the Peter Pan, or the Autopia ride.

If you have any thing else to ask, post up.

When the kids were little(ish) we used to buy annual season tickets, and take the camper.
It worked out the season ticket was about the same price as a three day pass for us, (I own shares, and use the offers)
We even parked up in the car park for a week once (free) bought a carte d'orange each, and had a week in Paris!

Mind you, we've also stayed in a few of the hotels, not the Disneyland Hotel yet though, my youngest fancies that still!

It's a brilliant place, you'll enjoy it.
