    But if you are students then surely you are a bit old for Disney?

    Disney is not just for kids you know
  • Does anyone know which is the best website to book holidays to Disneyland paris, we have 3 children and hope to go next year sometime. ANY help would be much appreciated.

    We would probably like to fly from manchester.

    I have booked a holiday to Disneyland Paris and was thinking of going for the half board option which works out around £160 for the 3 of us. I believe we can eat in 7 different places with this option. Has anyone else gone for this option??

    I've just booked a trip to Disneyland Paris for the new year, thus taking advantage of te kids under 12 years are free offer. However, DON'T book the total package with Disneyland Paris as it is the most expensive option, and the website is flawed.

    ie.
    1) Disneyland Paris website - 2 adults + 2 children (under 12yrs) = £1000+
    2) Disneyland Paris - 2 adults only ( should be same price as above as children are free) = £800
    3) Thomas Cook - 2 adults + 2 children = £750 (+includes Sealife Paris vouchers)
    4) Disneyland Paris (book hotels only) and Eurostar (travel) = £650

    Yes! The cheapest option we found was to book the hotels direct with Disneyland Paris (using kids go free) and then to book the Eurostar direct with Eurostar. You do pay for children fully, but this was cheaper than booking via disneyland. The website is obviously wrong as the 2 adults only price should be the same as the 2 adults/2 children price, as children are free during that period.

    NB. All prices are approx above.

    Hope this info can help someone.
  • I want to take the children to Disneyland Paris in 2008. I have to take them in the "dreaded" school hols as I work in a pre-school and can't take the time off.

    When do you think would be best? Are all school hol's mega busy or are some slightly quieter than others?

    I was thinking of going either in Feb half-term or Easter (possibly June?)

    Any advice/tips would be gratefully received. Also what hotel would you recommend? I've heard Santa Fe isn't so good.

    Thanks

    you need to time it so it does not coincide with the french holidays, I think you may also find that sometimes in the England that we have different holidays to those in Scotland, from what I recal you may find the feb half term the quietest but you should research it before hand

    as for the santa fe, it's ok, it's basic, it's clean and it does the job, if you want something more plush then go elsewhere but if it's a bed for the night, it's fine, however, there is no air con in the rooms so don't stay there in the summer,

    we have stayed in most of the hotels at disneyland paris and I still prefer the davy crocket ranch as I personally prefer more space and self catering but you need a car to stay here, when we stayed at the santa fe we walked past the chyanne (SP), it looked much nicer and there we lots of family out using the seating outside, seemed a lot nicer than the santa fe which does look a bit like lots of blocks of flats with builders rubble
  • Hi,

    we have just come home today from Disney ! It was a great holiday, even my hubby enjoyed it !
    We did it on the cheap, 5 of us in all, kids aged 7, 5 and 3.

    Drove to a campsite via the tunnel (paid for with tesco vouchers) and stayed in a mobile home for a week. The site was 20 mins. from Disney.
    I bought breakdown cover (valid for a year) from euro tunnel, insurance and green card all included in my car insurance already, travel insurance covered by hubbys work federation. Once there we bought annual passports.

    Price breakdown :

    £139 for mobile home
    £80 for breakdown cover
    £212 for annual passports

    TOTAL £431 plus fuel and food.

    We bought 2 francilien passports, which mean you cannot go in on the 2nd and 3rd days (we went to Versailles and shopping instead) and 1 fantasy passport, it was buy one adult get one free for child under 7. The fantasy gives you free parking at disney and 10% off food, drinks and shopping.
    So 5 of us had 4 long days at disney for what I think is a bargain price !

    Hope this helps
    SG

    Forgot to say we plan on going again next year at some point and the only cost will be accomodation, oh and food !
