Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

Balletshoes..Have just booked Eurostar tickets to get daughter on all the rides she missed out on a year ago using the last few days of her Fantasy pass. Do you have any suggestions on hotels (with a pool) - we did Explorers last time but were put off a bit by the breakfast.

what dates are your trip, how many of you, and what kind of thing are you looking for?

10th to 14th July. Just dad and 9yr old. I can't seem to find anything decent in val d'europe which has a swimming pool AND has decent reviews. I'm looking at the French website to see if I should take the plunge and go with the on site or partner hotels.

would you be okay going for a decent hotel and skipping breakfast there? you have lots of other options on your way into the parks in the morning, both in the Village/resort hotels and in the parks.

unless you can get your 4 nights onsite for less than £450, I'd go with the Explorers or Dream Castle again to be honest, and plan to have breakfast elsewhere.

I think you are right. The onsite hotels are way more expensive. I was intrigued by your suggestion earlier in the thread to stay in val d'europe and take the train in. Are these for apartments? Expedia doesn't throw up anything or may I'm just not looking correctly.

there are quite a few apartments in val d'europe which are very close to the train station there - but only the Adagio, as far as I recall, has a pool - try travelrepublic or trivago for your search.

Found a place called hipark serris..but think I'll keep looking and hope one of the partner hotels drops in price. Thanks for your help Balletshoes.

Hi all,
I noticed it is cheaper to book with Eurostar direct than via the disneyland paris website. And you get me options with time of train. Do you get the same service? Anyone know if you need to get a coach from the Eurostar train station to the hotel or is it walking distance. If I book with Eurostar would my luggage be delivered yo my hotel or is this only available if I book with Disney?any help appreciated.

its exactly the same Eurostar service, whether you book it through Disney or direct with Eurostar. There are coaches right outside the train station at DLP taking you free to each onsite hotel, and even the furthest hotels are no more than 20 minutes walk from the train station.
You can only do the luggage transfer service if you use the direct Eurostar, not the indirect, and its expensive, and not necessary, in my opinion, unless you are only going for one night and need every minute you can get in the parks.

You can choose to pay your hotel 11 euros total, to have your luggage transferred for you to the train station on your checkout day, if you are taking the direct Eurostar back to the UK.
