Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

ExMugPunter

We are going to DLP next week for the first time. We will be staying in Cheyenne. As there are pony rides there, does anybody know how much these cost?
I presume they aren't cheap and as our girls will go mad for them, so I need some ammunition to warn/bribe the kids with!!

Thanks in advance!

Read this article earlier this morning, strikes me as misreporting/ scaremongering tbh. Good or decent deals are available to anyone; they can read this forum to find out how.

I'm sure that article, or one very similar to it, was in the press a fair few months ago.

Thought there was an element of deju vu to it. A quick look at the newspaper front covers on BBC suggests many tabloids are covering the issue too today.

Okay, so we finally did it!

Booked our very first trip to DLP (a family holiday too, with our DS,DD1 and DD2)

we've booked for 1-3 sept. (via the french site, so for a previous poster just a message that we didn't have any problems getting through)
We want to get there on the 31st and spend the day in Paris (we're going by car) and then stay at the Residhome Val d'Europe and head over to DLP first thing in the morning.

Advice needed on a few things:
has anyone else stayed at Residhome Val d'Europe? can you share any advice (hopefully before I book it)

We're booked for Davy Crockett, and obviously want to maximise our days there. So wanted to know can we pickup our park tickets for the 1st of sept on the 31st of august?

Since we booked on the french site, what are we to expect regarding our reservation and check-in etc. In ville we wrote Birmingham :undecided i'm hoping that's okay. Any tips for check-in with a french reservation for a family of...non-french...people?


Thank you all. x

first of all , don't worry that your confirmation is in French - as soon as you arrive at the Davy Crockatt reception and check in they will switch to speaking English for you (I've had confirmation in Flemish which I couldn't make head nor tail of, but still checked in with no problems at all).

As you're intending heading over from the Residhome to the Davy Crockatt ranch early morning on 1st anyway, it might be just as convenient for you to plan to arrive there 30 minutes earlier, say 7.30ish, then you can check in to collect your park tickets and head straight off to the parks in time for Extra Magic Hours that morning. It would save you having to drive to the Davy Crockatt ranch the evening before, then back to the Residhome, then back to the DCR the next day.

we are going to go to dlp next year

either : easter holidays OR may half term

is either one quieter than the other or will they both be equally as busy? will be doing 4 nights/5 days

have to go during the school holidays, there is no other option

also- will the free half board offer come in before then?

one of our children will be under 7 if we go during the easter holidays, he turns 7 just before may half term!

thank you

May half term will be quieter, as there are no French schools off - but it will be more expensive if there are no kids-under-12s offers out (as one of your children reaches age 7 in May)

April could be very doable as long as you avoid Easter weekend itself, and any Zone C French school holidays -

who knows what offers may come out? I'd have a budget in mind and wait until an offer comes out which fits it (I booked our onsite hotel in early Feb for our early April school holidays trip last year, although I had our travel booked ahead, and a back-up plan for offsite if it came down to it).

thank you- we can go anytime between 25th march and 11th april so it gives us some play. Will avoid the easter weekend itself. April is certainly cheaper than if we go in may half term. thanks again
