  • With the premium meal plan you take a voucher per person to the buffalo bills venue and swap them for your dinner tickets, nothing else to pay.
    Unfortunately there is nowhere outside the park where you will be able to see and hear dreams, as its concentrated on the castle projection and they don't pipe the soundtrack into the hotels.


    Thank you Ballet Shoes. Do you know if I can I book Buffalo Bills in advance or do I just turn up on the day with the vouchers?

    You won't get your tickets until you go to the venue, but you may be able to get your date booked at the concierge desk at your hotel.
  • Just browsing for next year, and realised that from 29/3/17, breakfast is not included at any Disneyland hotel. :(. I can find no information about how hotels will provide breakfast (there are certainly not enough breakfast places in the park to accommodate all the guests). Also no indication of likely costs - this could add a lot to a weeks holiday. It could come down to a packet of corn flakes in your suitcase, or yesterday's stale popcorn. :rotfl:

    Our Disney fix this year was in Florida so I'm a little out of the loop with Paris. We usually go twice a year to Disneyland Paris so does anyone on here have any further info?

    The new DLP online brochure at page 54 ish mentions paying for breakfast at your onsite hotel and mentions £12 per adult per day for the Cheyenne so it will be more for the DLH breakfast, I think you,d need to phone to find the price. I do think there are many underused breakfast venues in the village but they're not a open currently before emh.

    Some advice please. We are looking at going with family on 11-13 December. Is that a very busy period ( Sunday aside ) I know French schools are still on that week, but I personally would hate to encounter masses of school parties on their pre Christmas shin dig. An alternative date could be a week or two earlier, but that would not match family plans. Also there is an option of New York Hotel or Newport Bay both are 4* but are they really Equal ?

    The other question I have is more broad. Circumstances will see is in Southampton on morning of 11 December. What is the quickest way from there to DLP. Is it a ferry and then drive or plane or even a train route. It does not seem anywhere near as easy as going via Eurostar / euro tunnel. But obviously it's going to be many hours back from there to Folkstone.

    Thanks in advance

    Its not low season quiet, but its not crazy busy either, and when I went over a similar time 2 years ago, I didn't notice any masses of school parties.

    At the moment no, they're not equal - Newport Bay is newly refurbished and lovely, HNY is slightly closer to the parks but is starting to need a refurb, so if they are a similar price, I'd go for the Newport Bay Club this year.

    the quickest way from Southampton will be by plane from Southampton into Paris CDG (flybe fly there daily).

    Thank you for the reply :-)

    Do you know when the 25% and free half board ends ? Ideally I don't want to book tonight But if it changes tomorrow obviously I need to do something. Cheers

    that offer ends on 14th november, but prices can fluctuate within the offer (ie they only sell a set number of rooms in each hotel at the offer price) so if you've seen a price you like, best to book it as soon as you can.
  • Hi All,

    So I'm looking to take the Mrs to Disneyland Paris for her birthday, is £500 for flights, accommodation for three nights at the Santa Fe Ranch at Disneyland, and park tickets in February good or expensive?

    Is there a cheaper way to stay on site?

    Thanks
  • Thanks to all the help and advice on here earlier this year we had a lovely time in Disneyland late May although the weather was very mixed whilst it was lovely back home typical! We bought our annual passes through the post and surprisingly everything went well although we didn't buy them that far in advance and I did wonder if they would arrive. We would like to make best use of our passes by going again Feb half term arriving 18/2/17 and leaving 23/2/17 we would like to stay in a hotel this time (apartment last time) 2 adults and 2 children both aged 11 whilst a disney hotel would be nice I presume because we already have our park tickets that an off site hotel would be better value does anyone have any recommendations for a mid range priced hotel distance not too much of a problem as we will be driving. Thanks to everyone on this thread but particularly Ballet Shoes the advice we were given last time was spot on :T
