Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

Sounds good redfernprop although he put in some dates in May through Expedia just now and it turned out slightly cheaper than Eurostar direct.

If I want Half Board at the Hotel Cheyenne then I can't do this via these sites so how do I go about booking this.

What days do Eurostar go in May ? What would be cheaper ? Weekend or a weekday ? Want to go for 4 nights ideally...

I was told by Disney you can only go half board if you book it before you travel with your agent (if their contract with disney allows them) or if you book your stay direct with Disney

The Half Board option is what I'm trying to get added as well! I've been told to wait until a week before travel and try the Disney Reservation line, although I think you can book it when you arrive as well.

As our daughter's only in pre-school we've booked a Monday to Friday trip, not just to reduce costs but to avoid extra queues/busy times during school holidays and/or weekends.

I think Eurostar run one 'Disney Express' a day, which goes straight to the Park.

Any help appreciated, or anyone in the same boat!?

Booked entire trip, train and Disney hotel, via Eurostar website as it was much, much cheaper than Disney direct.

However, having read this thread, wanted to upgrade us to half-board but Disney reservations say they can't do this for us as we haven't booked via them, while Eurostar reservations can't do it as it's not an option Disney provide them with!!!

I realise we can sort this out when we get there, but wanted to try and remove most of the hassle before we travelled!

I'd also heard that Disney have now removed The Lucky Nugget from the list of half-board plus eateries - does anyone know if this is correct as we saw this as a cheap way of getting some character dining for 3 year old!

Cheers

How do you add HB when you get there? Disney told us its not possible it needs to be booked before you go.

"Disney Express" is the luggage service

There is one "Disney Direct" service daily

Booking through Expedia means you can still add HB to your booking.
I booked a night in the Cheyenne for the end of May through them but it didn't give an option for HB so I queried it with Expedia and they phoned Disney themselves to ask as they had no idea what I meant! Customer service from them is excellent! Can't fault it!
After several emails back and forth I now have both Expedia's booking ID and Disney's Hotel confirmation number and can ring the hotel reservation line to book if I want to.
So don't rule out Expedia! (you could always contact them before you book to enquire about HB option).

Excellent advice so far...1 other question. When booking through Eurostar you have the option of adding Standard Room -All Stay Parks Tickets which is very good value but is the same has a 4 day hopper pass as it works out a lot cheaper ?[SIZE=-2][/SIZE]

Eurostar replied back to me to say this ticket entitles you entrace to the theme park. I guess it works out a lot cheaper going through them rather than a ticket agent. Does this ticket include both parks I wonder ?

Disneyland Paris have an offer on at the moment where you can get a free 3-6 year old's annual passport with every adult passport purchased.

The problem is that it is available until 16th July, and we travel the day after.

Does anyone know how I can buy a passport in advance from the UK. The only information on their website is in French and you can only buy online if you have a French postal address!

This is where I got the info from:-

Help would be much appreciated.

I think that's the catch- you have to be french/live in France to qualify.
