    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Can't find a Eurotunnel return for under £50. Cheapest one way ferry is £29. Anyone do any better?

    hmm well for 5 of us its probably gonna work out stupidly expensive.

    5 x £9.50
    10 x 30 newspaper
    1 overnight stay (min) £99
    £200 petrol (we live in scotland)
    £150 (min spending money)


    .........need i go on.

    Im sure I could get a better deal going via disney itself d=for longer, when they have there kids under 7 go free & eat free deals.

    its £9.50 for family of 4 i think...and if you google disneyland paris hotel...then check a few of the websites...have a look through different dates etc...you can find accommodation for £60 for all 5 of you xx granted petrol will be expensive- could be worth looking for cheap flights instead? Would be worth doing the deal even if you fly as its over £50 entrance to the park!
    hoping for a very MSE Ts glitching 2012!
  • pity i cant book this offer as ive got four children, cant even pay extra for the 2, glad i didnt waste my money buying the papers

    You'd still have to get from the airport to the park though and it will wipe out a fair bit of your day unless you get a cab. Bus takes a good few hours (it's around 16 Euros each I think), taxi is about 60 Euros, there is the train but I've been told they can sometimes take a few hours because of the connections. it is half an hour drive from the airport to DLP.

    It's a long way to go for one day out though - bearing in mind that you'll be able to get in from 10am til 7pm (possibly 6pm in colder months), I really don't think I'd bother unless I was doing a longer trip. You cannot even see or do everything in 1 day as the main parades in MGM (2.45pm plus show follows) and MK (3pm) clash.

    It took us 6 hours to drive and we live 2 hours from the tunnel - you can go by the smaller roads but it takes 5+ hours from Calais. Plus you have to add your tolls onto the money you pay, plus insurance green card and upping your Car Breakdown Cover if you do not already have it, Travel Insurance as well soon - it mounts up but I'd not travel without any of these.

    Just check out all of your options before you book and travel - it seems like a good deal but is not always, there are Disney hotels on site that cost £80 a night, maybe get a few of you together to get the tickets and use them for each day you are there. But check out the costs first. Expedia/Quidco offers 10% cashback on DLP hotels.

    It is an epic journey for one day, and one day isn't enough. 3 nights four days is about right, or even 4 nights, 5 days. Less is a rush IMO, especially with children under about 10. Adults should be able to cope fine though!!

    if you do want to stay overnight - check Expedia, especially for January and possibly early February - a family of 2 adults and 2 children aged over 7 can stay onsite at the Santa Fe hotel for £50 total, or the Cheyenne hotel for £66 total.

    Am trying not to look, am trying not to look - we are going back to WDW in April, really need to be saving for that......

    the Kyriad hotel at Disneyland Paris, on the Kyriad's own website, is also only 54 euros (around £47) for the night for the same 2 adults, 2 children :) .......
  • Does anyone have any idea what would happen when you got to the ferry check in if you had 4 adults in the car instead of the two booked? As we will be looking to do the deal and my sister but we would all fit in one car so would seem silly to take two cars all that way but if we added the extra two adults when booking it would be an extra £43 each which would just work out too expensive but wondered if when they realised there was four adults there whether they would try and charge extra at the port?
  • i am itching to do DLP

    we have just returned from orlando ( staying on-site at disney ) and the girls do not want to try DLP ( though i guess 4 trips to orlando in under 5 years means we love WDW ) they are worried that DLP will not live upto DLP

    just called the wife over and said about the sun DLP break and she laughed at me

    so thats that idea put to bed
