thank you so much sodamnfunky. Much better price!! Have you used them before?
is it better to book in advance or wait and get from the driver?

I have used them a number of times, and always found them to be excellent. The best bit for me, is you get dropped and collected from your hotel. Which hotel are you staying in?

It makes no difference other than, you know you have the tickets whether you pre purchase or buy from the driver. I have done both, and most people buy as they get on the coach.

Hi, please has anyone used Baby Switch ( or it may be called rider swap) at Euro Disney?

Our son is six, so no baby but doesn't like big rides but my partner and I both love them along with our daughter.

That's something I've been thinking about as well!

Our DD is 8 but doesn't like the bigger rides (tried them last time we went but said 'I'm not doing them again'!). Me, my OH and DS would go on things again but obviously don't want to queue twice. Has anyone ever tried with a child who's not a 'baby'?
I don't think you have to get a pass as such but more information would be handy, from anyone who's done it.

The bus does depend on what time you are arriving or departing though. We arrived quite late, too late for trains or busus so a taxi cost us about £90!

We did this with my daughter who was 6 at the time, and it was fine, my other daughters and my wife went on, and I waited at the exit, and then they just let me on before anyone else.

Yes it does depend on when you arrive, as, as you say it can be too late for the buses etc.

Just back a couple of hours ago having stayed at the Sequoia Lodge since Sunday-it was FANTASTIC

Couple of tips- we used the TGV to get from CDG, and we cut it a bit fine with time, so allow PLENTY of time to get your prepaid ticket from the ticket office at the station. We didn't have time to get ours but the train guard took pity on us and allowed us on with the printout of the confirmation email.

The Cinderella lunch is great if you have a 6 year old GIRL, but not so good if you have a 6 year old BOY and 11 year old GIRL!!

DEFINITELY buy the pre-paid meal vouchers, we saved a FORTUNE doing that-and the restauarant staff were really good at saying we could just use 3 vouchers instead of 4, if we paid the couple of euros on top, as you can't get change if we'd used 4.

It was a truly FAB holiday!!

Glad you enjoyed it, as it is a really fab place.

I am interested in people's take on the voucher's as I have never been a huge fan of them.

I think if the euro/pound rate wasn't so dire at the moment (we just calculated it as 1 for 1) then I'd maybe have thought twice about it, but the way we did it was to pay for as much as we could in sterling before we left.

Friends of ours were at DLRP in January and didn't do the meal vouchers, they reckoned they spent over £300 for 3 of them on evening meals over 4 nights, and that wasn't going overboard. Vouchers for 4 of us (2 adults, 2 children)for 5 nights cost £260.
The only places they couldn't be used in the village were Planet Hollywood and Rainforest Cafe

Yes, that would be the reason I would buy them, however we always go to The Rainforest Cafe, and the kids love Planet Hollywood, so it does put me off a bit.

Mine don't know what they're missing yet with Rainforest Cafe and Planet Hollywood so we got away with it!:D
