Apparently there is a direct TGV train that goes from CDG airport to Disneyland Paris and takes only 10-15 minutes for 11.5 Euro one way and is free for under 5s. Their website is www.tgv.com

Has anyone tried this because I was thinking of using this instead of the shuttle?

Hmm...maybe worth a look. Would save us around 30 euros altogther if my addition is correct.

Usually during Jan-Mar they have "kids go free" (you don't say if you'll be travelling with kids) so it can be popular with families, especially half term week (11-15 Feb).

If you want to travel by Eurostar then you can book the direct Disneyland service up to six months in advance (Waterloo or Ashford direct to Marne le Chessy) and that is when you get the best fares. I made the mistake once of trying to book a late deal but the fares were really high so we changed our travel dates. Start checking their website next month for details.

Whenever I've gone to DLP I've booked the travel and hotel separately. Done both driving via the Euro Tunnel (journey from Calais to DLP approx 3 hours) or Eurostar (IMHO the best option). I've never stayed at Sequioa but know people who have and they love it. You can walk around the lake, through the Disney Village (where all the restaurants and shops are) and straight to the gates of the parks. It would probably take about 10-15 mins to walk or you can get a complimentary shuttle bus.

Also check out another forum https://www.disboards.com as there is loads of useful tips. Scroll down and you'll see a whole section dedicated to DLP.

Hope this helps.

We're going a week before half term and have already booked flights with Easyjet. So just need accommodation and tickets. So is it better to book now or nearer the time?

Another question is what is the food like? We are not really burger and chips people. I know it can be quite expensive to eat but as we are going to be there just for a few days we might have to save up to eat in restaurants while we are there. Which ones would you recommend?

Do you recommend buying the meal vouchers before you go?

Can anyone explain why a one day hopper ticket is £33 and a 2 day hopper ticket is £72. Surely I would be better purhcasing 2 one day hopper tickets rather than a two day ticket?

Thanks in advance

the above site £30 one day and £60 2 days. adult prices mind.
How many of you going what ages and when?

it's just 2 adults who are going. Those prices I have quoted are off the official Disney website.

I was just wondering why a 2 day hopper pass is more expensive than 2 x 1 day hopper passes?

I've also been checking out the prices for February for my family to Disneyland Paris. The Disneyland website itself is very competitive and under internet offers they can have late deals but when its coming up to half term there might not be any. Their prices include unlimited access to the parks on all days of your stay including arrival and departure and B+B. Their kids stay free under 7 is still applicable for February. Hooray!!!!
Other websites I've checked out are www.iglu.com and www.aholiday.co.uk but check the site isn't only offering you a hotel and travel package as some only do. The prices around this time seem reasonable but I'd say it will be popular. Although I've never been. Anyone know what the weather is like then too? Not 6ft of snow or anything I hope!!!

The weather in Paris should be around 0-8C, so wrap up warm!!

Thanks for the info. At least we'd be in Disneyland, happy and freezing rather than at home, miserable and freezing!
