    Yet again we battle the summer holiday demand = price hike ;)

    Ok for all you lovely Travel Agents out there and those who have stumbled onto a secret that you wish to share. Here's the challenge -

    The Quote itself: £1841.79 :eek: (£1052.79 hotel and park tickets, £465 Eurostar inc. 'Disney Express' service, £264 Standard half board, £51 insurance and £9 cc surcharge )
    Who the quote is from: Internet Disneyland Paris website
    Is there a booking fee: £9 if paying by credit card
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Disney/Eurostar Disney Express/Hotel Cheyenne
    The departure Airport/Train station: London
    Holiday Destination : Disneyland Paris
    The Holiday Dates: 4/8/11 until 8/8/11/ (4 nights/5 days)
    The number of people traveling (inc kids ages): 2 adults 1 child (12)
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Hotel Cheyenne
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): Half board option total £264
    I realise that booking Eurostar separately may be cheaper and have not ruled this out but they've not been able to quote me a price yet as they say they dates aren't released until 120 days prior to travel we would like to do the Disney Express bit.
    Can be a bit flexible with later dates but can't travel earlier due to work commitments.
    Thank you.
