Were going next week...(again).

Le Chene Gris... Mon-Fri (Caravan - £150)
Eurostar - £120 or Ferry - £80 (return)
Fuel from Home - Probably 3x Tanks (£150).

The site is 20mins away by car, it has a swimming pool etc. Parking at Disneyland is Free as we have Annual Passes which we purchased last year.

Its far far far worth driving, its €20 in Tolls each way, and an easy 2hrs 30mins from Calais to the Park. For us...were going to pay £40 extra and stay in a hotel near to Ashford, the Eurotunnel/ferry early in the morning..

how much is the Hotel New York price with no eurostar included (because its usually cheaper to book the eurostar yourself).

its £970 for the standard room, or an extra £100 for plaza

i wouldn't pay extra for a plaza room at the HNY - what kind of offer is that price - 2nights free etc?

The Eurostar, if you book it yourself as soon as the fares are released, will typically be around £70 each return per adult, £50 each per child (they will increase in price fast though, because its school holidays, so you'll have to be prepared to phone to book them on the morning the fares are released for your dates - often months before they appear on the Eurostar website).

Ouch......

We also went into Paris in the car last time, parked near the Effiel Tower..and walked down. Drove past Notre Damn etc, just followed the Sat Nav. Could not do that if we went by train, as it was €50 return into the city...and it was about 20mile away.

if both the kids are free too in that quote, then you're in effect getting around 40% off the full price, so its not bad if its the HNY you want to stay in.

yes kids under 12 are free it says,

we've never been before so really not sure which hotel to go for. probably wont go again either so tempted to avoid the santa fe/cheyenne and upgrade a bit.

any recommendations? thank you once again
