Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

Danka

Thank you, tried Santa Fe, without food it makes £600, with food £774.Is it worth to pay food? I believe that tickets are included. Eurostar £507 return. Not a bad deal, isn't it?

I have started buying a few bits for my two to take with me including Jessie and Woody (as we are staying in Cheyenne thought id stick to the cowboy theme ) I've heard toys and gifts are much more expensive in disney than here, so i thought as we leave the room on a morning one of us can pop something on their beds as a surprise present for our return! We go in August and I will have a look at prices for you - unless you go before me of course!

Thank you so much we are going in september I think I will pop into the disney store and get buzz and if i get my overtime pay this month i might think of the rex too. If you do remember to have a glance I would be very grateful thank you x x x

no I don't think the half board food vouchers are good value anymore - you don't really get any saving by buying them.

If you stay onsite (and I think the Santa Fe is a great value hotel ) you get into the main park from 8am, 2 hours before local guests. In Halloween week that will be very useful to you, as the parks will be busy.

Hi All

Just a quick question, when making a booking on the disneyland website when is your card debited? Do you just pay a deposit and then pay the rest before your holiday or is it all debited in one go?

Cheers

When you book online they take the full payment but over the phone its just a deposit of 10%

Ok a cheeky request but here we go. I promised my son if he was a good boy and didn't do wee wees in bed ( i know tmi) when we go to dlrp he could buy a talking buzz lightyear with wings that come out - he is obsessed. I want to know how much they are out there. In the disney store they are £20 but have a euro price of 35euros on them so was thinking of buying buzz here and smuggling him out with us. But if he is about the same or only a small difference i will wait.

Now for the cheeky bit if you are out there could someone glance at the price for me. thank you x x x

Def buy it here as even though it says 35 euros in disney store it will be different in disneyland paris, seem to pay more there

Hi,
Im a bit lost in all this information. Can someone please point out where and how to book the trip to Disneyland/
We are a family of 4 - 2 kids (6 and 11). We want to go for 3-4 days in October (between 27-30). We would like to travel from London by Eurostar and spend 1 day in Paris and 3 days in Disneyland. Budget - obviously as low as possible - definitely below £1500 if possible.
Do I book everything separately or whole package? Should we stay in Disneyland or in Paris suburb?
We never went to Paris and don't know much about Disneyland so somehow don't know where to start.
Thank you.

Book it seperately as it does save a fortune. Mess around on disneyland paris website see which hotels and dates come out cheaper due to diff offers etc. Then if you go via thomascook-barclaycard.co.uk (you need to ring them) they will give you 7% off the disney price. They will also ring eurostar direct get a price for travel and discount this by 7% but make sure you tell them you want to book the hotel and travel seperately.

hi,

only a few weeks til we go for the day! getting excited. wish we were staying but we're not this time, justa day trip to both parks while we are in france.
anyway, ay idea on the date to go? I know it will be busy every day since its the first two weeks of august but we need to pick a day, any time between the 2nd-12th august. does anyone know what difference the BLOCKOUT dates make? only I looked on the calendar on the website and 9th-12th are blockout days "Annuel Francilien". so is it best to go on thoses days or avoid those ones or will it not make a difference? ta!

Oh yes, if you can, go on a midweek blockout day - it should (even in high season) make a difference to the crowds, as a lot of local resident day guests will have Francillien APs.

thanks. mum had wondered if it was a blockout day because the park was at its busiest that week...and therefore we should go the previous week. i wasnt sure.
mid week is just fine for us, so tues 9th or weds 10th it is. we dont need to decide til we are over there.
mums so excited to go, as am i and my sister! my husband is apprehensive though- not a fan of ides and really hates crowds where he feels penned in or cant see what direction to go in. any tips for him??

also, final one: if some of us want to go on one thing abd the others dont is it really difficult to find eachother? what we'd love to find '(haha) would be a ride id queue at with some, next to a play area or kiddi ride for my husband and the little ones, and a shop for my mum, all really close so we knew where to find them?! but failing that is there a good way of being as a group?

i can't help with your husband i'm afraid - i don't take mine to DLP, as he just doesn't get it at all. He'd be bored out of his skull there, and that would just irritate me .
when we've gone with my sisters family, we would split up and then tell each other where we'd meet up and when, and we'd also send a quick text if we were running late etc.
In every part of the parks, there are rides near shops and suitable little children's attractions - the parks are built with the whole family in mind.
