First, Disneyland Paris is nice but doesn't meet the standards of its American counterparts. Parts of the park are a bit rundown, needing paint or other minor repairs. The fountain in front of "It's a Small World" had a visible coat of algae that you simply wouldn't expect at Disney World, for example. Although it sounds like petty carping, Disney in the past has set very high standards for itself. Somehow these standards don't seem to have survived the trip "across the pond". Realize that Disney is still better than most amusement parks.
Disney Studios was quite a disappointment. Although it has a reasonably good roller coaster, the park itself is small and has at least a few attractions that are simply a waste of time, e.g., the Disney Animation attraction. We went twice for a few hours each time but probably could have done everything that was worth doing in a little over a half day. The highlight is probably the characters that walk around close to the entrance at the beginning of the day. The hour-long wait to take a picture with Minnie is a bit excessive though.
