Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

Hi I too have been looking to book park only tickets and have found that the cheapest way isn't to book a 2 day ticket, which is what is promoted, but separate 1 day 1 park Mini Tickets! These cost £39/£33 for an adult/child. The 2 day 2 park tickets are £115/104. As we are going to be visiting midweek these are a no-brainer! I am making a huge saving of £112 for 2 adults and 1 child for 2 days. Of course we can't hop parks on any 1 day and the tickets have to be purchased in advance, and are valid for 1 year from purchase.

There is a link to the calendar showing which days these tickets are valid on. I can't make the link work in here but go into park tickets and at the bottom there is an option to select 1 day tickets. If you want to go in a businer period the ticket prices are higher but I ma sure they are worth comparing.

We have booked a 7 day/6 night break in a (very) central Paris apartment for 3 people, and 2 days eurodisney, plus eurostar all for under £950. Our apartment and park tickets cost the same for 6 nights that 2 days in the cheapest Eurodisney hotel would have cost us. I am very pleased!!!

Hi Balletshoes,
You have helped me before and was wondering if I could pick your brains again?:o
We are looking to go to DLP in August. 2 adults and 6:eek: kids! 16, 14, 13, 11, 8 and 5 at time of travel
Last year we took the 3 youngest and done the annual pass which worked great, (DH pass expired now though) this year the older want to come again:eek:
Could you guide me in to the best way for us, I need 2 cabins so can't buy the annual passes (or can I?) and where would be the cheapest place to buy them?
I have been looking on all the other country websites but with the 2 day 2 night free the uk site looks like it could be the best option if I buy annual passes... How would we book another cabin though?
I would really appreciate it if you could help me find the cheapest way?

Thanking you in advance

no problem . Has only your DH's Annual pass expired? So how many annual passes do you have which will be valid for this year's trip?

DH's annual pass expired dec 15, so no annual passes this year:( I don't mind buying them if that works out best, we might also go again in December 16 if we have passes and could book a second cabin. We have stayed in a few if the Disney hotels and Davy Crockett is by far our favourite.
Thank you in advance for your help

so for August the best deals for you are going to include under-12s free (as you have 3, and only one of them would be free in the standard under-7s deals).

I'd check the French/German/Spanish sites in a couple of weeks time, to see if such an offer comes up. If its combined with a % discount too, then I'd look at the price for all of you split over the 2 cabins on the package (and have a play with the combination of adults, paying children and free children in each cabin, see what works best for price), and then compare what you've found with booking one adult and free kids into each cabin, and then buying annual passes to cover the other 3 members of your party.

Thank you,
I have looked at most of the other counties and even with kids free it was coming up at about 1300 euros, and that was one adult 3 kids, one cabin, for that I would rather buy the passes:eek::eek: do you think the other sites will bring out other offers in a few weeks? Also, where is the cheapest place to buy the annual passes?
Thank you for your help:)

Were you seeing the discount offers and free kids on those offers from other countries? What were they?
As I said, they will be changing shortly (in the next couple of weeks) and for the European sites, there will be other offers covering August (Europeans tend not to book so far in advance, compared to us Brits). Its also high summer price bracket, August, so it won't be cheap.

supertrips.net is good for annual passes if you require kids ones - but hopefully you won't .

The offers are for arriving by 17th July, I think I will sit tight for a couple more weeks and if no decent offers come out I could probably bribe the kids for Merlin passes and a week camping in west wittering:eek::eek::eek: (which, by the way is a great place to camp in the summer;);))
Thank you:)

Hi I have read lots of the advice here and have read about buying tickets on the French site - it looks like we could save about £5-6 each at the minute on a 1 day 2 park pass (not sure if this is what we will go for yet due to having to go in July when it'll be busy). I have however just read on another site you can only get them from the French site if you have a French address - is this true?
Also I've seen a site called attraction tickets direct which sells them a bit cheaper - we did buy Florida tickets via a 3rd party years ago and had no issues but wondered if this was still a good route?

attraction tickets direct are fine and legitimate - as is buying your tickets online through the official DLP site (France - isle-de-france) version. You don't need a French residential address to do this at all.
