Help please with disneyland

HI all,

On a bit of a budget and need a bit of advice.

Im thinking of taking my 3yr old (mickey mouse obsessed) daughter to disneyland for her birthday. Can anyone please hep with cheapest option available I dont mind travelling via ferry or plane. Dont mind hotel either as for food I could take my own.

There 6 of us travelling 2 adults and a 9yo 4yo 2yo and 10 month old. (@time of travel).

Whats the cheapest option as so far everything Ive seen is £450.00+ Just for the hotel.

Travel dates are 30/09/12 or 01/10/12 for 2/3 nights.

Thanks x x x

    France, presumably, although It's never safe to make assumptions!

    Don't apologise. It was a crass attempt at making you look amateur.

    It was obvious where you meant.

    What's wrong with Eurostar? Fast, often the cheapest option around, and you can take all the luggage you want.
  • Eurostar also means you can take food and drink with you (although same can be said of Ferry). Food and drink in the parks is v expensive so can be good to take snacks with you.
  • there is this as well that some else posted

    We went Eurostar and stayed at the Holiday Inn at Bussey St George (which is a couple of RER stops from Disneyland), both travel and hotel were very reasonable (can't remember exactly how much as it was a few years ago).

    But don't make the mistake we did and go in the French school holidays - it was rammed, queues for the rides were typically over 30 mins, sometimes an hour :eek:and getting to see the shows and parades involved strategic advance planning to get a good place! The local kids can get an annual pass for not much more than the day admission so it's always packed in the holidays. Research when the French holidays are and avoid!

    Take your own food, they have microwaves for customer use, you don't want to be queuing for food as well as the rides plus it's expensive.
