OK, so you got the password right. Even a Scouser like me knows the words to Ilkley Moor Bar T'at
(You Yanks can just scratch your heads at this point! LOL!)
Strangely, although I have been to Euro Disney/Disneyland Paris/Disneyland Resort Paris countless times (17/18 is my best guess) I've never arrived by Eurostar.
However, you'll find it really easy. Just come out of the station and there it is. Simple as that. Never used the luggage service thingy, but my guess is they'll get it right, so don't worry.
Places to eat. I don't know how the 'Key to the World' works (or even what it is) but my tips would be as follows:
For breakfast the hotel is good, and I seem to remember that the characters usually make an appearance at some stage. There are other breakfast places where you can book a character breakfast, but we've never bothered. You get to see the characters all day in the parks anyway.
For burgers and stuff in the park (main park) there's Hyperion Cafe near to Space Mountain. Good for a quick bite in the middle of the day. Another good place is the restaurant next to the Pinnochio ride (can't recall the name although we've eaten there a zillion times). Again this is a counter service place for a fast bite.
There are a couple of nice restaurants in the main park. One is the Blue Lagoon near to Pirates of the Caribbean and another is (I think) the Walt Disney restaurant right in the middle opposite the castle. These are proper table-service restaurants and the kids might not like them. Nice for a meal for just the adults though, if the babysitters are available. Might take up valuable park time though. You can see the Blue Lagoon restaurant from the boat on the POTC ride.
I've only been to WDW once, but DLRP is a whole different experience. It's MUCH smaller for a start. We love it though. Avoid the temptation to compare DLRP to WDW and accept it for what it is. Some of the rides are better (like Space Mountain and Phantom Manor) because they're newer at DLRP.
Disney Village is the equivalent (on a much smaller scale) of Downtown Disney. A good place to eat with children is Billy Bob's. That's a service restaurant, but it has a good range of food and it's themed like a wild west saloon sort of place. It does chicken and stuff like that. Won't break the bank either.
There is a nightclub in Disney Village called Hurricanes. I've never been, but you might want to take a look. When you are there it will be busy season (not too packed though) and there is usually some sort of entertainment on the stage in Disney Village (a band or something musical). DV is between the parks and your hotel and only about a four minute walk from Sequoia Lodge.
Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show is the best show in town. It's a dinner show (menu is ok for kids too) and is on twice nightly. It's a bit pricey though, so check it out before you go. You might be loaded, and money's no object for all I know!
I hope that's a useful start. Mickey McFizzle is there as we speak and she'll no doubt fill in some blanks as will some others that have been there.
I'm more than happy to give you some more info on anything I can help with. I often get to Rotheram (well just outside near Swinton) as my mother has a friend who lives there. I wish there was a better way to get there than that Woodhead Pass. Nightmare!!
