I'm about to book for a family holiday to Disneyland, Paris to travel in the new year. Have you any tips for me when booking this holiday? Thanks!

Hello, we went last month and i booked in Jan. I would advise to book direct through disney and early if poss as they do early booker discounts. Then book your flight/ eurostar direct also, much cheaper than through the travel agent. Check out dis boards which is a eurodisney forum. Enjoy:D

Thank you for your replies so far,

There really is no availability, standard class both ways on the direct eurostar so seriously contemplating driving. Does anyone have experience of this, would you recommend it? Also, do you have to pay for extra car insurance?

Thanks

We are leaving by car on Oct 22nd. Will be staying in Davy Crokett ranch. 2 bedroom self catering lodge. 4 days and 3 nights. 2 adults, 3 under 5's
You can pay for euro tunnel with tesco vouchers for about £100 return. Price varies with time you choose. We priced up with lots of different companies and found best price for accomodation only was with disney direct. £322. Thats for a 2 bedroom lodge. We ended up getting a freebie quite luckily!

Oh - forgot! It takes about 3 hrs to drive from calais to disney. The crossing is meant to be under the hour whch will be a great time for us to climb in the back(people carrier!) with the kids to have a picnic dinner and watch a in car movie so we are ready t go non stop to disney! When driving need to consider that you will be adding costs like european breakdown cover and additional insurance premium. We went to France last April and thanks to MSE. Found car breakdown cover for £24 and then it was £30 for insurance green card. Fuel cheaper abroad though which is nice!

Where did you get your breakdown cover and insurance green card from?

Hello. Car insurance green cover was just added on by my current insurer - direct line. I used http://www.vehicle-rescue.com/ for breakdown in April. Currently £21.75 for up to 5 days. £16.75 for up to 3 days. I think there was cashback available through quidco for that too! looking at booking mine now so doing a bit of reasearch , this one - £22 for up to 5 days http://www.eurorescue.co.uk/

Hi Folks

Looking about thinking the wife and 2 kids (5 & 2.5) to Disney on Thu 27th March for 2 nights and have a couple of questions.

Flights are out of Belfast with Easyjet.

On the way out there are only evening flights arr at 22hr. Should we stay at an Hotel at the CDG airport or one near the park. Any thoughts on hotel?

I'm gonna book 2 days and 3 nights at the Disneyland Hotel with upgrades to the Castle club rooms (inc vip passes for 15min queues). Is the upgrade and vip pass worth it?

Also a character lunch.

The cost for the 4 of us as above is £1159 - Direct with Disney.

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

TIA

Can anyone tell me if they've been to the Buffalo Bill show at Disneyland Paris, is it entertaining/worth the money?
