Euro Disney On the cheap ANY TIPS?

Batgirl

We are wanting to take advantage of under 7s going free before our eldest turns 7 in August, so planning on going term time, but does anyone know who is cheapest to book thru and any ways at all we can save money. Have just had a look at prices and not sure if we're going to be able to afford it as it stands.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

we do it on the cheap by staying at a Eurocamp site 1 hr away http://www.eurocamp.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=campsites.resortoverview&mastercode=124&ver=1

theres also a site 20 mins from disney http://www.siblu.ie/france/paris/les_etangs_fleuris.php ( can use tesco clubcard deals to pay for a Siblu holiday )

we book with the sun £9.50 hols, so £38 for 4 people for 3 or 4 nights = a huuuuuge saving than by booking direct !!! we are going again in July and saving around £300 !

then ferry under £43 return with speed ferries

tickets with https://www.365tickets.com ,the cheapest site we have found

if you still want to stay on site / in a hotel nearer to the resort ,then these sites have DLRP sections on the forums and are good for advice , https://www.thedibb.co.uk https://www.disboards.com

Have been looking at this with interest as we re going however - there is a catch, only the accomodation is free at Disney, you still have to pay for the train/ferry/plane fare for them which is the bit that pushes the price up as the accomodation tendsto have free kids anyway from what I found.

To be honest, stay in the cheaper hotels (most will give you breakfast) and then try to take advatage of the 2 tickets for £90 offer that is on with Eurostar at the moment (also on this board). Take advantage of the lunchtime offers and eat your main meal then as the evening meals kind of double or treble in price in Disney Village. Have a look on Expedia - if you stay in a hotel on the site around Disney (not only Disney Hotels) you can get the free shuttle bus and that saves some money.

I have the brochure from Paris Travel Service which has some good offers but Cresta/Bridge Travel take the Clubcard Deals Vouchers - as do Eurostar (but not with any other offer) so take advantage of these if you have them.

Book around 3-4 months before you intend to go - we want to go in November time but will book around August/September time because the seats for the train are only released 4 months before travel date so you'll get the best prices and that is when they'll have the special offer seats - ask for them by phone and ask what offers they have on. last time we got a free upgrade to 1st class.

Oh, and the other thing I would recommend they say you do not need a seat for under 3's but it was nightmare with the kids trying to clamber/throw thing over the business people on the train so I will get a seat for them this time for definate.

On the Eurostar you can get the Disney Express, they will take your cases to your hotel (on the Disney site, nt only Disney) so it means you get extra time in the parks and make the most of your time there. 2 or 3 nights is more than enough to stay - we went for 4 nights/5 days and we was bored by the 4th day as we had done everything.

Also, if you can get a free upgrade you get breakfast so save your cash in the terminal on buying food as it is quite a lot of food and I was really annoyed to pay £25 on food and then not eat my Eurostar food as I was full!!
