Trip Planning: Information, advice and questions!

Yes you can.. btw I did three buffets last year and they were all amazing. The cost is correct imo. Can’t see how they can do that quality any cheaper. Best buffets I’ve ever had.
 
Hey all, planning a trip to Europa Park, Phantasialand and Movie Park in late September/ early October have a couple of question if people know the answers as it's my first time planning an european trip :)
1. Planning on staying at Europa Park for 3 nights at the hotel (Birthday treat), how does the resturants works do you have to reserve, are you limited to which resteraunts/bar you can go to in the resort area depending on the hotel you booked or are you free to go to any of the hotels?
2. been trying to find onride photo information but can't seem to get any information on them for all the parks, seen earlier there is a post saying €4-€6.50 for what seems like a print out but do they offer digital photo pass or have I been spoiled with merlin parks having that?
3. Is Rulantica worth getting the 7pm-10pm pass for the evening?
4. finally, any tips for the parks on where to start in them?

Cheers

1. You can book the restaurants on the Europa Park hotels app, apart from the pizza restaurant in Colosseo which is walk-up only. You can visit any restaurant on the resort regardless of which hotel you're staying at, they're even open to non-hotel guests (hence why booking in advance is important). Also note that you don't book breakfast, it's walk-up only.

2. They don't do a digital photo pass unfortunately.
 
Start on Studio Tour at Movie Park as the throughput isn't great.

Probably start a day at Phantasia (would recommend 2 days) on Maus au Chocolat. Also recommend staying in Charles Lindbergh for hotels there. Probably would start the other day probably on Taron.

I'd start one of the EP days on Voltron, simply as it gets a big queue as it's new. Another day I'd start on Arthur as the queue is unpleasant and can get quite long. Would recommend 3 days at EP for first visit, plus a day at Rulantica. Can easily do 2 days for a revisit.
 
I'd definitely say the Rulantica evening pass is worth it, did a 5pm-10pm ticket on a Sunday last June and was happy to leave the pool at 9pm and that included stopping for a while to eat dinner. Tip arrive early and check in as you'll get your wristband and be able to access the changing areas 15 minutes before your session starts.

For Europa Park think if it's 9am park opening the gates open at 8am, and you can get in a ride on one of Voletarium, Geischtersloss, and the other ride in the Italian area from 8.30am, then wait for the rope drop. Probably do Voltron first thing.
Have your passes linked to the app and get a virtual queue for Voltron then hopefully you can get 2 goes on that relatively quickly (vq goes live at 9am), after redeeming that one it's likely the big rides on the vq will be already in the afternoon by then. So book one of Wodan or Blue Fire. Then start riding stuff around Voltron heading towards the Iceland area, then use for vq you booked, and the regular queue for the other one.

Thank you for the tips, been watching some vlogs of the parks and they look great so want to make the most of it, unfortunately won't be staying at the hotel at Phantasia as we're staying at the girlfriend's family in Luxembourg to make it all a bit more affordable
