A mixed group(adults and Children- about 10 of us) are hoping to travel to Paris in late June/early July for 5 nights. Some of us would like to travel out to Disney at least once during the trip. We need a reasonably priced hotel, centrally located. Has anyone any recommendations?
Is Paris Child friendly? We will need to eat with the children in the evening - are there many restaurants that will allow Children. I would really appreciate help, especially on where to stay

Is Paris Child friendly? YES, althoughy many people will say otherwise.
We will need to eat with the children in the evening - are there many restaurants that will allow Children. Even Jules Verne, with its Michelin star welcome%26#39;s children (although my kids find a couple of hours too long for a meal).
Most Parisians do not dine out with their kids because they enjoy their meals better sans famille. (Today I lunched next to a man who even prefered eating out without his wife, bringing the mistress along, but that%26#39;s another kettle of fish.)
The one hiccup is that restaurants often do not open until 8pm. This can be frustration for families insisting on maintaining an earlier schedule, but cafes and brasseries have service throughout the day, so they are often a wonderful solution.

I would consider Paris somewhat %26quot;child friendly,%26quot; but not %26quot;child centered.%26quot; Many restaurants will not have highchairs or booster seats(especially the more exspensive ones, which you most likely would not want to go to with young children anyways)
I do think if you go to bistros and cafes you will be fine.
As for Disney, stay in Paris, and just day trip there, there is no hotel %26quot; central%26#39; between the two really, perhaps stay near the train station( I can%26#39;t remember which one it is that comes in from Disney) but personally it is only one day so I would pick an area in Paris I like , not base it on a Disney trip.
The Latin Quarter is very kid friendly with lots of less exspensive places to eat that are open early in the evening.

Many restaurants will have a children%26#39;s menu, also the chain Hippopotamus where is see many children all the time. Most restaurants will open at 7h00, sometimes 7h15 or 7h30 at the latest, not 8hOO pm.
