Hey, you'll have a terrific time there. There are quite a few entries on this site about experiences there, including some posts of mine. I learned a whole lot from others before going there, and it really helped us. The proverbial message from most is this: Wake up early enough to get to the small market on the grounds and get the chocolate croissants while they're warm. You won't regret it.
Congratulations!

Moi, aussi.
It is a really lovely resort, but it is not in Paris. It is near Paris Disney, about an hour (by car or train) outside of Paris.
Too far and inconvenient way to see Paris.
I would not agree with that. The transit ride into downtown Paris was 45 minutes, and the trains ran every ten minutes or so. Riding back offered the three of us a nice break. We've stayed in Paris before and enjoyed it, this trip we saw more than the city, and plenty of Paris. Hell, in any city even as big as Pittsburgh it can take us 45 minutes to drive to drive into town and park. What you probably don't want to hear is that they're having a huge bedbug infestation problem in Paris, people are finding them everywhere. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/paris-bedbugs-france-infestation-hotels-homes-even-trains/
Unless I want to spend anytime in the Disney park, there is no reason to stay at this resort. I would much rather use Bonvoy points and stay in Paris.
From what I've heard, you're about 30-45 minutes outside Paris but that there's a train or bus. I wouldn't drive into the city. So much to do, the Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, Versailles, Sacre Couer, Montmartre, Sainte-Chapelle. There a hop on/hop off bus that will point out things of interest. I wouldn't bother with Paris Disneyland. You'll have a great time.
That's a surprise the Paralympics are still on that week. Not sure what it will do for sightseeing in Paris, public transport should be working well, but certain areas might be more busy than usual.
Agree. Went to Reims yesterday, such a vibrant and diverse city. From the amazing champagne wineries to the bustling downtown, with its Notre Dame Cathedral de Reims. If all one wants to do is spend time in Paris, then the MVC is probably not a good choice. If you want to explore (we have been to multiple small towns with their own flavor), MVC is a great launching pad. Add to it the 2BR for a full family which is a huge bonus you won't get in the city.It is definitely an hour train ride into the city of Paris but don’t let that discourage you. The areas around Paris are definitely worth seeing too. My suggestion is to add a few nights in Paris at either end to accomplish the night time Paris activities ( dinner, city lights, ect) but the resort is lovely. The countryside of France is gorgeous and a whole other experience than just the city. A quick trip to Reims, Epnay, and Champagne region of France are easy from the resort. Those patchwork hills lined with wineries, hot air ballon ride, Champagne tastings, the Reims Cathedral, all a huge part of France cannot be missed
