Nice to see it's based on 2 adults and 2 kids. That's me out then unless i don't mind paying another £43 for my 2 year old. Nice.

why do you have to pay extra for your 2-year old? They don't need a park entry ticket at all for Disneyland Paris.

I would have loved to have the chance to go to DLP for the LO's 5th birthday but unfortunately can't

I wanted to return on Ferry the next day and book my own accommodation but the Sun said I can't do this as I have to book the accommodation through them to return on ferry next day.
They also won't let us have the park passes for the first day instead of the second. Which means we couldn't go.

You could just book your own accommodation and return travel. You'd have to pay the extra £37 (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) to come back on the ferry the next day with the sun deal anyway and when I was looking on the P&O site for ferry crossings from Calais to Dover the prices I was getting were around the £35/£45 mark.

Thank you very much for this! I didn't realise the ferry was pretty much the same price.
You could just have saved my daughters birthday .

this is what ive done. shouldnt be any problem as there terms and conditions say one per household. i have 2 houses so have booked up 2 sets for 2 consecutive days

I hadn't thought of that - but don't you have to name all the people travelling on each application ? I also can't remember if they check passports against the voucher at the entrance to DLP. But then surely you'd just have to use the same names at the 2nd address ....

Ahh but remember they allocate the days from your choices so you may not get the days you requested !

Might be a problem for some but if going via ferry, you can prebook online and thus getting the days you want, right ?

You would still have the problem of the Sun deal not letting travel over and get park entry on different days so, I think, in your case you'd have to pay £x just to get the park entry and then arrange seperate return ferry crossings and overnight accomodation.

From the MSE page about the offer:

What to watch out for

• What counts as a family? The deal's valid for a family of up to four, with a min two people (see full terms for valid groupings). At least one must be an over-11, but there can only be a maximum two over-11s. Additional adult and children places are £43 per person. The voucher will only cover those named.

What balletshoes is saying is that your 2 year old doesn't need a ticket. You don't even need to put the 2yr old on the form.

I have had a look at ferry prices and it would be pretty much the same.
So Would I be able to do this : Get the £9.50 deal which gets us ferry over and park tickets for the first day (what we wanted) not use the return, book my own accom and go back on the ferry next day (which we would have booked ourself)?

Oh ok! I just thought everyone travelling had to be on the booking. I get that it's free entry to DLP though. Thanks.

That's what we did last year without any problems at all.
