how does 978 euros (ie around £835) sound? Voyage Prive .com (the French site, not the UK one) has a 50% off sale at the moment, if you can travel on 2nd or 3rd August. Thats the price for all 3 of you at the Sequoia Lodge (without a meal plan) on Voyage Prive. They are an established company for DLP holidays, lots of return guests use the 50% sale with them to book for DLP.

This price is only on until the end of today though (its a flash sale and its last day is today). You have to sign up to see the prices, but its free and then you can unsubscribe from adverts etc.

You can spend way less than £400 for the 3 of you on food at DLP for 4 days - we were
averaging around 90 euros per day for everything (food and a few souvenirs) on our last trip last month, for 3 adults and one child.

Sequoia Lodge is now one of the best onsite hotels following its recent refurb - and there are queues for breakfast at all the onsite hotels if you go for breakfast between 7.45am and 9am. The breakfast buffet is open from 7am to 10.30am each day, so you can avoid the breakfast queues if you plan a little .

eta - you could also just buy fantasy annual passes each for park entry (gives you extra magic hours even if staying offsite) at 159 euros each, and then stay offsite - that will be a lot cheaper than the UK onsite price, and might even be cheaper than the Voyage Prive price.

Have a look at travelrepublic, expedia, alpharooms, ebookers, hotels.com etc for Disneyland Paris hotels, loads will come up, and remember cashback sites if not booking through travelrepublic.

Thanks for all that info. I have been deliberating all day!! That is a great price - but I am worried about booking on a non uk website. I want to go for it, but it concerns me.

Also, by the sounds of it, the change of trains in Lille would be easy. I intend to buy the standard non-flexible fare with Eurostar and am concerned if I miss my connection at Lille, will I be stung for paying for more tickets? I tried to find out on the Eurostar website but couldn't find out what would happen in this scenario.

if you miss your connection, and you've bought a through-fare with Eurostar (ie you book it on the Eurostar website) and its Eurostar's fault that you missed your connection, they will get you on the next train going to your destination, free of charge. Eurostar's customer service provision is really pretty good.

Thanks for info re Eurostar, that's reassuring. Also, is it really OK to book via this Voyage Prive french website?

its the Newport Bay Club only - its going through a major refurb, and its all over the official DLP site when you price up a trip at that hotel .
