    the easiest way to get them is to buy them when you arrive at DLP.

    unless you have a french residential address you can use for postal purposes, yes, it is now.

    not unless you have a french residential address to use, as they will no longer post out the tickets to non-French residents. This changed at the end of last year unfortunately.

    Thanks Balletshoes - I knew that they used to. Didn;t know the rules had changed so recently sadly...

    So next question - who lives in France near Eurodisney that wants to let me use their address :rotfl:

    Hi. We are looking to spend 4 days at Disneyland at the end of June. Have priced a hotel in Disney and it was coming up at £1800. Now looking at hotel outwith Disney with a transfer everyday. Have heard stories of huge queues for buses and children just about getting squashed in rush for the bus. Just wondered if anyone had experience of the transfers and what they thought about them. Or should we pay the extra and stay within walking distance of the resort. Many thanks for any advice.
    :)

    there are pros and cons - yes the shuttle buses get mega busy at popular times of the day (so between around 8.30 and 10am, and around 9pm until around midnight). It can be a scrum to get on and off them, and I really wouldn't fancy it with toddlers or kids in buggies. However, the associated Disney hotels are a better standard generally than their corresponding onsite versions, and considerably cheaper. They are around 30 minutes walk from the gates of the DLP parks, is that walking distance for you, at the end of a park day when you've all been walking for miles without realising it?

    Or, you could stay in val d'europe instead - ignoring the shuttle buses completely and using the RER local train service instead - its around 1.50 euros per adult single journey if you buy a book of 10 single journey tickets, half that price for kids age 4-11, kids under 4 are free. The trains don't get packed like the shuttles, run more frequently, and val d'europe train station is one stop and 4 minutes journey time from DLP station :).

    GlasgowGal depending on your party size/ages and how many nights you want to stay at/near DLP, you might be able to get a good deal onsite for your dates, do you want to pm with the details, or put them on this thread?
