Lots of questions to answer... :mickey:
I've been there 3 or 4 times so I hope I can help. Lots of questions for you too. How old are they? What kind of budget?
Begin with the official Disney website - http://www.disneylandparis.com/en-us/.
When - Mid week is best. November-Feb can be cold. Avoid French school holiday times - https://www.schoolholidayseurope.eu/...tml#france2017
Two or three days is enough. One day in each park and then an optional 3rd to hit favorites or missed attractions.
I don't know of meal plans so I'd say no.
Where is a budget question. The Disneyland Hotel is best, basically IN the park. It's $800+/night. The other Disney hotels are close and nice but like $450ish. I've stayed at the Partner hotels for like $150/night. They have free parking and a shuttle over. You can walk but it's like 30 minutes. Or drive to Disney parking for free closer.
Any specific questions, let me know. I'd love to help if I can.

I think the timing of our trip was good, we only had one crazy crowded day (Saturday) but we were there for the Run Disney event, so that had a lot to do with the craziness. Friday and Sunday we had no trouble doing and seeing what we wanted to. If I wasn't planning around the race, I would have stayed during the week to avoid all the crowds. But the weather was absolutely lovely, not too hot, not much rain.
We did not have or need a meal plan. There was plenty to eat without it.
We stayed at the Sequoia Lodge. It was beautiful, very much in the spirit of Wilderness Lodge. Beautiful property, lovely room. Worst bed I have ever slept in in my life. It was like sleeping on a brick! But the proximity to the parks and Downtown Disney was great!
Happy planning! I'm so glad I got to experience DLP. It really was amazing!
