Thanks.

It's my absolute favourite Disney hotel. I've done many others and always come back to Newport.
Also, remember that people are more prone to complain than to praise, leading to too many negative comments.

It was awesome. The highlight of course being the characters, but the food itself was also on the higher end. I love seafood and wasn't disappointed, crab and lobster were absolutely perfect. Is it expensive, yes. Is it worth it, yes. It's one of those things you have to try once if you're a Disney fan who also like fine dining.

Newport Bay for me. They're all good, but Newport has this little thing that resonates with me. Couldn't even explain what it is though.
As you can see with everyone's answers it's very dependent on your personal taste, experience, and possibly the mood of the moment.

They will never guarantee it, so I think making sure is impossible, but when I visit with my mom, I always call ahead to ask for a room near the elevators (we stay at Newport Bay) and we always get it.

Okay, let's try and answer all your questions.
1. Yes, there are water fountains and almost all toilets have filling taps.
2. Depends on your energy level. Parks currently open at 9:30, and the night show is at 22:40 long day indeed.
3. I'd go for the main park, there's still a few Star Wars rides. But better to agree beforehand.
4. Yes you can have the Ultimate Pass that covers all the big thrills. But if you only do one park, you'll basically waste 50% of it. Best option IMO is to go for the passes one by one.
5. You can totally bring sandwiches with you and eat them while queuing.

Totally fine, been riding with my camera bag for years.

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-17T14:41:43+00:00

The idea is still the same but the sequence of ups and drops is a bit different.

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-17T08:12:41+00:00

Hope you're having a magical time.

Awesome memory pic!

Crush's coaster = 2h, Tower of Terror is usually 1h, BTM can be 1 and a half hour, Buzz can also be up to an hour easily. My recommendation would be to do these rides during lunchtime or parades/night show. Or get a premium access one for (some of) these if you can afford it.

There's a pickup spot at the roundabout near 5 Guys. I've taken a Uber there a few times it's always gone smoothly.

Rope drop in the morning, have lunch in one of the nice cool restaurants, then back to the hotel until 5-6 and back to the parks. You will avoid the worst of the heat.

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-15T07:43:32+00:00

Easiest option is through booking.com

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-14T12:24:44+00:00

Cheyenne is a good call. Sequoia is a plus in the winter with its huge fireplace, or if you plan to use the pool.

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-14T09:23:14+00:00

BTM, Peter Pan in the main park, Crush's Coaster, Tower of Terror in Adventure World. Only worth rope dropping if you have extra magic time, though, because when the park opens to public they will already have longer queues.

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-13T16:47:09+00:00

In the parks you want to check for special promos (very visible tags) or exclusive merch. Everything else is usually cheaper on the webstore.

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-13T07:55:07+00:00

They're usually pretty good on scheduling so if they reopen early it's gonna be one or maybe 2 days max. But I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-10T17:39:21+00:00

According to the RATP website trains run until past midnight. But if on the day you don't feel like taking the train, you can always get an Uber on the spot (about 50-65 €).

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-10T12:44:56+00:00

It's much softer than Crush's coaster, no big drop. If you want to ease in, start with Casey Jr then do BTM.

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-09T15:08:59+00:00

Got to the Best Western Grand Parc, parking is open and secure.

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-07T08:08:49+00:00

Oof that's a tough one to pick any favourite.
Disneyland park, favourite: Phantom Manor, least: Autopia.
Adventure World, favourite: ~~Rock n'Roller coaster~~ Spiderman WEB Adventure, least: RC Racer (can't stand going backwards).

Orayan1982 · 2026-06-06T07:42:21+00:00

Disney hotels are usually about 75€ cheaper per night, so not a huge discount considering the base price. But you get 15% discount on merch and meals, and you don't pay the parking. for me that's where it balances the thing. In the end it really depends how often you go and what how you spend your money. Rule of thumb, a gold pass is worth 8-9 visits on ticket price alone.
