Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

ijth

Hi everyone
You may remember I posted in Feb to say that we'd had a disappointing time due to numerous ride closures/breakdowns. I'm pleased to say that DLRP have replied to my complaint letter and have offered 8 complientary 1-day park passes for use in the next 2 years! That's a generous gesture - totals to £328 if one considers the adult pass will be £41 from April. As a family of four, it will get us all into the parks for 2 days.

Now the problem: we like to stay at the Disney hotels for a)convenience, and b)the extra hours. As I understand it, the packages all include park tickets so as things stand, I won't be able to use the complimentary passes. If we book a non-Disney hotel we miss out on the extra hours. Does anyone know of a way we can use the passes to reduce the cost of a package? If not then it might be best to sell on the passes to a family that could use them.

no, there are no fridges in the rooms

we also stayed in Cheyenne last month and needed a fridge as my daughter needs various medicines that need to be kept refrigerated, so we bought a little one from Argos for £15 before we went, and kept it plugged in in the room

its about 30cmx15cmx15cm

obviously only practical if you are driving there though

have a look here:

I have won an experience voucher through work and we are going to do a day trip! I am so excited as we last went before my son was born and he will be a week short of 4 when we go! Have checked and it looks like the train times are a bit different. Does the saint pancras train stop at ebbsfleet and ashford as either of those are closer for us. Also, if we choose Studios park ticket, we can get into the main park three hours before closure according to the below. Is closing time still 7pm in June. Have tried to check but not updated on the DLP site. That would mean that we would have 3 hrs in each park "ish" with Planet Hollywood in between.

Agenda


At 08.52 you will hop aboard Eurostar and head out directly to Disneyland Resort Paris, arriving at 12.27. Once there you will have to decide whether you want visit the theme park or Walt Disney Studio (if you choose the studio you will have entrance to the Disneyland Theme Park three hours before closing with the same ticket). Also included is lunch at Planet Hollywood, situated in the Disney Village. At 19.37 you will return to London by Eurostar, arriving at 21.12.

I dont think there is a way round this maybe sell them on ebay?

Book through somewhere like Expedia via Quidco and you don't need to add the ticket option.

You'll get milk in the shops at the station.
