Hi,

I am looking at booking for our family to go to DLP in December this year as a surprise for the children. I know its a way off but I want to get a rough idea of price as need to start saving.

There are 5 of us, 2 Adults, then 3 children who will be 13, 7 & 3. I have looked at the dates 17th December - 21st December online and the only Disney hotels that were coming up that would fit all 5 of us in were the Disneyland hotel at £1950ish or the Davy Crockett Ranch at £736 which is no good for us as we don't drive.

Anyway I've got prices for 2 rooms in the Santa Fe, one room with 1 adult and 2 children is £529 and the other room with 1 adult and 1 child is £267. Is this a good price or should I be waiting for a better deal. If I'm honest this is a much better price than I was expecting but I don't really have any idea of what it would be. Also does the Santa Fe have connecting rooms?

One more thing, does anyone know when the eurostar prices are released for December and roughly what the prices are?

Thank you very much in advance, getting a little excited already and haven't even got to the booking stage yet!!:D

Hiya, Have you rang them yet?

When/if you do, you could ask them to check the availability for family rooms. I don't know why, but when I looked for rooms that slept 5 not a lot came up on their website, but when I rang the assistant could check availability for family rooms which can sleep up to 6, they told me that Newport Bay and the Sequoia I think it was, have family rooms. I know that the hotel New York def don't.

They don't have many of these rooms though, so if you are interested you should phone them soon.

I'm pretty new here, so maybe someone else knows a bit more?

there are family rooms at the Disneyland Hotel, Newport Bay CLub, and Santa Fe hotels. There aren't many though, and if you're not seeing them when you put in your trip dates on the official DLP site, that means for your dates they are already sold out I'm afraid.

Does anyone know how long the Buffalo Bill show is please? Just debating whether to go for the 6.30 or 9.30 showing, but was wondering what time roughly we could expect to leave if we watched the later show.

Does anyone have some used disneyland park tickets from October 2013 that they no longer require? If so please get in touch, thanks x

Hi,

I posted the other day with the quote I'd had for DLP just before Christmas for 2 Adults & 3 Children staying in two rooms at Santa Fe.

Anyway after you said you'd go for it balletshoes I THINK that's what I'm going to do.

I was just wondering before I go ahead and commit if I would be better buying the annual passes from the ce multiavantages website and booking the Disney hotel separately. I can't seem to get quotes for the Disney hotels on any websites for December, not sure if maybe they haven't released them dates yet elsewhere?

If I'm honest I'm not sure that we will visit again within the year but if it works out cheaper or the same price we might as well just in case.

Is it likely to be any cheaper, if not I'm going to go ahead and book.

Thanks again

you won't get a quote for room only onsite yet for december, its too early for expedia/eboookers etc to have those rooms for sale. To give you an idea though, usually in December they charge around £65 per room per night for the Santa Fe on expedia/ebookers (Disney themeselves are usually more expensive for room only strangely at that time of year, no idea why :rotfl:).

So for your party, you're looking at a minimum of £480 room only, before you buy annual passes. For a party of 5, with fantasy annual passes, thats going to be another £570ish including postage and joining fee for promoparcs or cemultiavantages.

If you don't think you'll visit again within the year, for your dates compared with the onsite package price you've got, i don't think its worth doing it separately.

Yes, the annual passes from promoparcs and ce-multiadvantages are suddenly a lot more expensive now that the 30 euro child pass offer has gone!!

Hi BalletShoes

Since you are the oracle when it comes to DLP, I thought I'd ask you my questions.

We've booked DLP for 25/02 to 01/03. My wife and I will be travelling with our 2 year old daughter (29 months).

Do you know how busy the park is during this time? I know it clashes with some mid term French breaks. I'm led to believe that it shouldn't be too bad, due to the French loving their skiing holidays during this time. Is this the case?

If I also understand correctly, there's a nightly Dreams show? Can you confirm if there's a light / fireworks show each night, and if so, when it starts? Our little girl loves fireworks!

Finally! Any other advice for travelling with a toddler is gratefully appreciated, although I've already had a look at the tips contained within the thread.

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Hi All,

I am really keen to take my 3 children to Disneyland Paris in the May half term

Our group is 2 adults, 3 children - 12, 6 and 4

I am considering driving there to keep costs down - has anyone done this and is it fairly straight forward? (Never driven abroad!)

Also I was looking at the Davvy Crockett Ranch as this seems the cheapest - does anyone know anything cheaper

I am looking at 3 nights

Any help will be appreciated :money:

Thank you in advance
