Disneyland Paris holiday help please!!!

Hi all,

I know that there are more threads on the forum regarding Disneyland, but was wondering if any of you guys could help me book a holiday?

I am looking at taking the kids to disneyland paris in Easter 2012

Flying from East Midlands airport - staying for 3/4 days

can anyone give me any tips and advice - I have a very tight budget!:(

Would it be cheaper to rent an apartment than hotel rooms?

2 adults going and 3 children ages - 10,4,1

Any help appreciated:money:

  • Instead of flying you could consider eurostar or driving to make it cheaper

    you could stay at an off site hotel like explorers, dream castle etc they also do rooms for 5 people where as I don't think the Disney hotels do as many options for 5 people.

    If you drive you can take your own food over so could save a lot on having to eat out in Disney.

    Annual passes work out cheaper in some cases for tickets and also offer discounts.

    You could become a shareholder and get some discounts like 15% off food which would help cut costs.

    Tesco clubcard points card be used for things like tickets I believe which might be an option for you

    I have children of similar ages well 11, 3 and 1 (nxt week) we have been to dlp past 3 years 3 times and going again un dec. We always get cheap deals all have been self drive it only takes about 3 hours and such an easy drive using eurotunnel and u van stop as often as you (or the kids) need this really cuts the cost down. The first 2 times we stayed in.davy crocketts which was the cheapest but feb this year sante fe was cheapest and staying in cheyenne in Dec for a little extra.

    We also go half board and have never paid more than 660 for all of us for 4 days 3 nights. We couldnt afford to go if we flew.

    If.ur after keepimg the cost down its def a worthwhile optikn self drive its.not as much hassle as it sounds
