    Hi

    Thanks for the reply
    Is the train station far from the airport do you know
    How long do it take to get to DLP ? and does it run through the day
    I would be flying in around around 7pm and around the same times back
    Also any idea of rough costs for this service ??

    Any help would be great :beer::beer:

    £14 per adult and its a 10 minute walk, depending on terminal as its a big airport, runs until 10pm, when are you going? You come out of the airport and walk to the right to get into the train station and its 11 minutes to disney, you actually come out the station at the entrace to both parks and get the free disney shuttle bus to your hotel at the station, far cheaper than the disney bus which was overpriced had no other service ie dvds on or anything more than a normal bus

    On the subject of how busy August is, id say very busy. I went last year at the end of July and it was manic! Ive also been in early june and september and this was much quieter, but you dont get the fireworks etc, so its a hard one to judge. We found that the best way of coping with the queues and peope, was to return to the hotel in the afternoon for a swim.

    As far as booking is concerned, ive always found the cheapest way, to book with Disney direct and then book the eurostar seperately on their site.

    I would like to take my family to Disney Paris using airmiles for the flights (probably October), unfortunately my airmile balance isn't quite up to this. I am considering applying for the TSB card for the 1500 mile voucher to make up the balance. My questions are
    1. I'm aware that you must book a hotel through airmiles when using the voucher, does this include Disney hotels.
    2. How do airmile prices compare with booking with Disney direct, including tickets etc.
    3. Has anyone out there booked Disney with airmiles and if so how was it.
    4. How long is the voucher valid

    thanks

    Gary

    lol of course it would be a lot busier end July / Aug ( summer hols) than june / sept ( term time) !!

    we can only go in school hols or wkends, and aug was far less busy / manic than Dec wkend!

    If you have option to go out of school hols, then yes of course you would do so as it will be cheaper and quieter .
  • Just to let anyone know, we booked our package in May via the Eurostar website, to include travel and Disney Hotel, park tickets etc as it was much cheaper than DLP itself at the time.

    However, you CANNOT pre-book a half board package with Eurostar nor can Disney Reservations add this to your booking afterwards.

    They do not use the same reservation system.
  • Hi everyone, ive just booked 5 nights/6 days for Disneyland Paris on 8th August this year, 2 adults, 1 child, got it for £723 staying at the Vienna Magic Circus! is this a good deal? also whats it going to be like in August?

    thanks in advance!

    A friend of mine was told Eurostar dont have a contract with Disney that allows them to add half board on and Disney themselves will not add it on for you unless you book direct with them.

    we were there on that date last year :)
    busy but manageable, with careful planning and use of fastpass etc

    take a break in the afternoon and go back to hotel / village etc ,then go back to the parks in the evening

    with 6 days you can afford to take your time :)
