Okies thank you I just looked into the princess meal on the dip website and they are only showing lunch as an add on option. Do you know if they do have evening meals there?

no, they only do lunch at the Auberge, not dinner. So if you want to do Auberge have your main meal of the day there at lunchtime, then something lighter for dinner later in the evening


To look into the cost and availability, I put our holiday dates into the quote system and our exact holiday has come up £127.58 cheaper Do you know if theres anyway of getting this price drop reflected in our booking? I know the chances are slim, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

you won't get your money back - but you could consider upgrading under the new offer? This means you pay Disney a little more (even a pound or 2 will work) but you get more for your money compared to your original booking. If you want to give me your dates and which room/hotel option you chose, I can have a look and maybe offer some advice on a good upgrade to request (you'd have to phone DLP to ask for the upgrade under the new offer). Feel free to pm me with the details if you prefer.

I'm wondering if my eldest will squeeze into being 102cm before we go, does anyone know if thats 102cm when they are wearing their footwear? As if it works out more like 102cm plus footwear we'll have to manage expectations a bit more!

yes, its 102 when they are wearing their outdoor shoes - if your child is just on the cusp of 102 they will be measured at every ride to make sure they are tall enough.

Thanks, I'll make an accurate mark or 102 and see how much he needs to grow in the next few weeks! - 101cm in his wellies at the moment according to my measurements!

Hi Balletshoes,

Thank you for posting this deal, I think im going to get these tickets.

Are they the same for adults and children? also if I need 2 day tickets, then do I need to get 2x one day tickets?

This seems a lot cheaper than the ones I was going to get from Ebay!!

Okie dokie...I have BOOKED we are staying at Hotel Sequoia Lodge for 4 nights/5 days Monday-Friday on the last week of March 2015! TOO FAR AWAY! I wanna go now! Hehe!

So, i read on here that paying the Half/Full Board option wasnt worth it. I agreed because i didnt fancy returning to the hotel every time we needed to eat, but then i saw that you can eat at various places around the park, which makes it more appealing. So, I have no idea how to understand the voucher malarky. It says you get 15% off at the selected restaurants. So are you just paying for the priviledge of getting money off in these places? If we dont get the vouchers, how much are we likely to be paying for food in the park.

Oh...and can you tell me, does the firework display happen every night? And what time would it be (approx) in March?

Oh...almost forgot...when should I look for cheap Eurostar tickets? I'm thinking of going from one of the Kent stations as we can stay over the night before at father-in-law's house. How much would we get them for, does anyone know?

I am SUPER excited so you may see me post on here a few times

Thank you

you absolutely don't, no way no how, get 15% off using half board vouchers at DLP (I think you'll find the wording is "up to 15% off" and I've yet to see where DLP manages to find anything like a 15% deduction on any of their restaurant prices using half board vouchers). Have a look on DLRPMagic for their restaurant menus and prices - they don't change much year to year. And remember, there are many other options outside of the park and Village-franchised restaurants too.

In March next year, no-one knows yet whats happening to Dreams - it will almost certainly still be showing, but possibly not every night. It always takes place at main park closing time, which this March is 8pm midweek, 10pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

I hear rumours (but thats all they are) that the next batch of direct Eurostar fares will be released in April, so keep an eye out on the likes of DISboards etc, to see if anyone has reported the seat sales being opened for your dates. As soon as you can, book them - they only go up the longer you leave it. At their cheapest, they are £70 return per adult, £50 per child return.
