    Not sure of October prices but we have just book for September 29th, self-drive including ferry crossing for 2 nights 3 days in Davy Crockett Ranch for £69 each = £276, or you can go by coach for an extra £35 each or there are other offers however you want to travel.

    This is through Leger, these offers don't come up on the website, I used the code FYD when I rang them 0845 408 1251.

    Hope this helps.
    If you're going to stalk me, while you're at it can you cut the grass, feed the dog & make sure I've got bread & milk in :D

    The best possible way to get there is Eurostar from London or Ashford just under 3 hours from London.

    http://www.eurostar.com

    If you can get to London or Ashford easily then this is the best choice. Should be easily under £100 more like £85 for just you as "Spud" is free.

    The best thing is the train arrives from London to the Park gates, so no changing trains and it avoids nasty Charles De Gaulle airport. And sitting on a coach for ages with a 2 year old would not be a great idea at all.

    You could drive but for two people the fuel, ferry and tolls won't make it great value compared to when you fill the car with 4-5 people.

    Thnx ever so much, i looked at eurostar £75 as spud goes free, so all in all thats £199 for both of us, better than the £400 i was quoted!

    P&O ferries are offering a free disneyland entry ticket with every Dover-Calais crossing if you book before 30th September if that's any help

    See HERE
    I haven't got one!

    The only thing with Spud's free place is I don't think they allocate a seat for him. According to the site he's supposed to sit on your lap.

    Might be worth calling them to check this or see if there is a cheap option for his own seat.
