  • I have been quoted £262 for 2 people to go to eurodisney.

    The price includes park entry and accommodation at Disney Resort Hotel (Santa Fe) for 20-23rd December 2007. (3 nights, 4 days in park). It involves a 1day/night free deal. I will take up the half board upgrade for £78 extra, so the total with half-board is £340.

    This excludes transport…I have got separate quotes for that as follows:

    London – Marne-La-Vallee is £199 each way for the two of us which seems ridiculous. The likely alternative we will take is London to Paris Nord for £59 each way. I haven’t yet found out how easy the onward transfer to Eurodisney is, but I imagine worth the £280 saving. Any advice on that welcomed…



    Thanks in advance for help.
