Hi, I'm planning to go to dlp end of march when school breaks up. Had a look at Disney website but can't decide on the hotels. Would like to book before 31st to get extra 20% as I don't want to spend too much. I'm going with a 9 & 2 year old, & my dtr will turn 10 while we r there so would love cake as mentioned by my_Gorgeous_ellie. Also not sure whether to go by eurostar or air france. I would like to go for 3 days/2night, I think this will be enough for a first timer like us. I don't want the hotel to be too far. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Go by Eurostar.
Stay at Cheyenne or Santa Fe - they are best value and just as good as the more expensive hotels.

With the more expensive ones, you are paying extra for things like swimming pools. Which you really are not going to need if you are in the parks all day.

get a quote here, i always use this contact, and we go every year:

Also, take as many drinks/snacks/crisps etc with you as you possibly can, as they cost a fortune inside the parks.

We've booked before with https://www.leisuredirection.co.uk, it's for self-drive if you're happy to do that but you can search on all the different ferry routes, Eurotunnel or Eurostar. I didn't want to to be bothered searching individual ferry or Eurostar fares.

When we went to Disney last July - the Half board option saved us a fortune and most of the restaurants are buffets, pretty much eat as much as you want! Plus we went during a 3 night for the price of 2 offer which made a huge difference to our budget.

also try www.legerholidays.co.uk they do flights, euro star, self drive or coach holidays to disneyland. They also promise to match any other price if you find the same holiday cheaper after youve booked

altho saying that it may work out cheaper to book holiday direct with disney and save 20%, or just buy the hotel thro disney and the eurostar tickets seperately.

where abouts in the country are you? and have you looked at the flight times vs the train, for instance as i live in birmingham,when we were looking ino the train vs plane, we ended with the plane, based on the times i would take to get to london etc, plus the flights we have with fly be are good times, we get to france on our day of arrival at just after 9am and on departure day the flights are 8something in the evening, so we still have departure and arrival days as near full days, and to get to and from the cdg airport we are going on the TGV

cant wait just over a week to go!

think you will need lots of caffeine to get you through the long days you are planning lol- Im pooped after a few hours in park, even without factoring in travel

Personally, i find it more time consuming to get public transport into london for the eurostar, than driving the extra miles to catch it at Ashford or Ebbsfleet. After having done the run various ways, wever now decided its less tiring to travel down the night before and stay near ashford or ebbsfleet, than have to get up early in the morning and get to the airport (which is only 1/2hr drive away, compared to 2hrs+ for the eurostar station). Also theres less transfers if you use the train, so once onboard you know its sit back and relax, all the way to disney

But, lucky you going in a week, ive gotta wait ages for my fix, were not going til December

we usually drive via the tunnel

but for our wkend trip in dec we went via eurostar ( we live in south wales,so drove up and stayed overnight near ashford)

it was fab ! loved the fact you are straight to Disney without having any transfers etc

Does anyone know what the Radisson at Disneyland Paris resort is like? Ive tried going through here to find out but cant see anything about it. We want to be close to disney but far enough away as well as its only me and my OH going so dont want to be disneyd out!

Hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance

beleive me coffee will be on the list lol, especially as the flight leaves birmingham at 6.25am!! plus we have buff bills that night as well so a long day it will be!! oh well should be running on adrenalin by then

anna42hmr i cant wait to hear from you and how everything went especially with the tgv when you get back. I go just a few weeks after you and cant decide whether or not to book the tgv tickets.If there are delays with the flight are the tickets still valid for the next train? I have heard on the dis board of some people using a shared shuttle from rs transports. Anyone experienced this?

Can anyone tell me , if we book breakfast in the park, which restaurant/s does it cover & what times can you eat it. I wondered if it was worth going on space mountain before eating! Can you only book 1 breakfast in the park or could you do it every day?
Also, do you think it will be alright not turning up to our hotel (Cheyenne) to book in until about 8 or 9 o'clock on the first night as we plan to drive straight to Paris for a whistle stop tour for an afternoon & do the parks the following 2 days. I dont want them to give our room away!
I'm planning to the nth degree as we dont go until mid-March & driving everyone potty.
