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

if the standard rooms in the Sequoia Lodge or Newport Bay Club are significantly cheaper, I'd go with either of those - as by next March both will have been completely refurbished, the HNY hasn't been for quite a while now. All 3 hotels are situated around Lake Disney, so they are all a similar walking distance from the parks (ie 5-10 minutes walk through the Village to the park gates).

Hello. Was wondering if anyone can advise...


Taking the kids London to a few places and planning a surprise visit for them from there to Disneyland and Eiffel tower. (first time we will all be going so new to this) Checked the Eurostar mid may and getting it for 2 adults and 3 kids @ £300.
Tickets to both parks and the Eiffel is costing approx. £1200...does that seem right? Any cheaper way?


Also how do we get to Disneyland paris to Eiffel tower? Train? And whats the cost of that?


Oh and also....are both Disneyland parks different completely?


Sorry for all the questions/ Tia

are you staying over when you go to the Paris/DLP area? How many days park tickets were you looking for, and how many nights were you intending staying in France?

I have a date in mind. Around 12 may to 15 may. So maybe 13 and 14 for parks. 1 park a day. On 15 may train back to London is at 9 pm so hoping to fit in eiffel tower before we leave

i would stay in the bussy st george or val d'europe areas - they are both on the local trainline between DLP and Paris (bussy is around 30 minutes from Paris and 2 stops in the opposite direction to DLP, Val d'europe about 40 minutes from Paris and one stop away from DLP).

There are loads of apartments and budget hotels in those areas, have a look on travelrepublic, expedia, ebookers, alpharooms etc.

I've no idea on Paris and the Eiffel tower, sorry.

you probably won't need 2 whole days in each park in May (the main park closes at 11.30pm at that time of the year) - a one-day ticket for the main park and then possibly a park hopper ticket for your 2nd day at DLP would probably work better, to get the most out of your time there.

check the French version of the official DLP site (change the country to France, isle de france) and look for the price of park tickets there.

fnac also do discounted park tickets for DLP, but I don't think they have their May allocation yet (you might have to wait until early April for those).
