Bristol to Disneyland Paris Help & Ideas

My lady and I are looking to go to Disneyland Paris during November (Sometime around 10th) and was wondering if anyone knew of any great deals, or had any tips for Disneyland first timers (with no kids!, just us big kids)

I found a few good looking deals on coach trips, but then find the pick up points are nowhere near Bristol.

Looking to possibly 1 or 2 night stay in a local hotel (if they have shuttle bus), or Disney hotel and tickets to parks.

    first of all - how much was the coach trip price that you saw, and what does that give you (ie how many nights hotel, how many days park tickets).

    And how flexible are you with how you get there (ie can you travel to airports/London etc)

    Can get to Bristol airport, as long as there is easy travel in France.

    Would prefer to travel overnight (to get the most days in France, instead of travelling all day)

    This is the deal we found (search siestaholidays and look at Disneyland Extra Value) however they dont have Bristol listed as pickup point

    (They also dont have the dates we would like listed, however if we can go in November we will book a date for next year if we find a good deal)
  • Could you get the train to London then the Eurostar straight to Disney? Sorry, I don't know off the top of my head hos long it is from Bristol to St Pancras, but if you don't want to fly, that's another option.
  • Have you looked at Megabus? They actually go right to DLP itself (and if you're not staying in a Disney hotel select Disneyland Hotel which is also the stop for the park). You can also book Eurostar tickets from Bristol Temple Meads or Parkway right to Disneyland Paris - but (at least for me) it's much cheaper to book my ticket to London myself.

    If you're set on having a free shuttle bus then I recommend checking the associated hotels that Disney have - the ones in Val d'Europe.

    However if you're willing to spend a few € on RER tickets you can stay in Torcy or somewhere very close for a lot cheaper. It's a very quick ride on the RER, and the last one leaves Disney shortly after midnight so you won't miss out on the fireworks at the end of the night.

    I recommend checking Groupon (try Groupon.fr) and similar sites for cheaper park tickets - park hopper means studios and main park can be visited in one day, if it's not a hopper it's one park only for that day.
