Welcome to DisneyCentral. I visited DLP last summer with my son. Though I lived in France for two years, I am no longer fluent by any means. My son takes Jr. High French, but was totally lost in Paris.

Once we arrived at DLP, all of the signs were in English and French, and I saw some German around. Many of the rides that required listening like Le Visionarium (Timekeeper) had a row that had headsets with several foreign language tracks. All of the restaurant menus had an english section, there are english park maps and a good portion of the CMs were English, or spoke English very well. You have to remember that a large percentage of their visitors come from the UK, and therefore, they cater to them as well as the French.

By the way, make sure you ride Space Mountain (totally different, a cross between Rock 'N' Roller Coaster and Space Mountain) and the Indiana Jones ride, it is a backwards rollercoaster, with a loop!

Oh, and we went the end of June, and it wasn't crowded until the afternoon. We pretty much walked on everyride. Even in the afternoon, we only waited about 10 minutes at most. Make sure you go on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. It gets quite crowded during the weekend.
