    Just thought I'd mention, you could go for the Sun offer £9.50 park tickets, and if you want to stay at a Disney hotel for the night beforehand, Expedia.co.uk sell onsite hotels per room (not per person) for around £60 per night, for up to 4 people in a room, including breakfast, but without park tickets. This would cost less than the £99 upgrade to a Disney hotel with the Sun offer.

    Not really. If you take the £9.50 option you would have to come back the same day.

    Lets look at your senario. You take the £9.50 offer and rush to DLP to get the most out of the day. Then you pay £60 to stay overnight and you miss your return ferry so you will have to pay for either a new ferry or a eurostar which will surely bring your total to well over £99.

    or

    you make your own way to DLP pay £60 to stay over night and then take the £9.50 option while you are there which I am sure they would not allow since you did not take the ferry there which you were booked on in the first place. Again if they did allow it making your own way there would still bing you to well over £99 since I cant see you getting a eurostar or ferry for less than £29.50 and even if you did how much are you likely to save ?

    or

    quite simply pay the upgrade to £99 relax and take the ferry to DLP and the next day refreshed enter the park and travel home that evening.

    I know which option I would prefer.

    have just received my booking confirmation so am pleased. We go Feb 22 am glad we managed to get half term, I paid the extra £30 to get the ferry back the next day and am going to book a hotel just a few miles outside the park so works out a good deal for me, just a bit worried about how cold its going to be after reading peoples posts!!

    its surprising how draining it can be just dawdling around dlrp. factor in the 3hr drive back to the ferry, the crossing, and then the drive to your house, it could well be that the person who is driving has been awake for over 20hrs, and you think they are fit to drive?

    personally it would be less tiring to get up early and drive to dlrp, do the resort and then sleep over. allowing a leisurely breakfast and journey home the next day - safer too

  • Have i really missed the boat on this (so to speak!!!). i have only just seen this today, so i could get two tokens, but is there anywhere i could get another 5 from!!!!!???

    So can i just clarify, it is 9.50 in total for ferry and entry to park (if you go mon/tue). i know you pay for parking, but is that right?

    thanks for your help everyone!
