Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

Thanks giovanni,

I did wonder if 7 days at the parks would be too much, but my husband seemed to think we'd spend most of it in queues because of the time of year we're going lol.

I've had a little google about and found a hotel & breaky (7km away), flight, baggage, parking and transfers for £1,048.27, just park tickets to get then, maybe just 3 or 4 days then hmmm??

You would be looking at approx £500 for park tickets on some sites for 3-4 days so the annual pass someone mentined will probably be a good option for you

Ahh thanks Minxtress, maybe it would be cheaper then to stay at a disney hotel for 3 days do the parks then move on elsewhere?

Thats what a lot of my customers tend to find it better to do, do a 2 or 3 night package on site, then move onto a non resort hotel.

Anyone booking with disney over the phone be careful as I had them take the future balance payment from me instead of the £57 deposit without me authorising it.. Im utterly fuming that they've gone and taken £436 and now I'm waiting for them to refund it. Total stress and shocking for such a big conpany only found out by chance when I checked my balance off hand

hi there, I too was a bit surprised until I read their booking terms and conditions. ALL bookings made within 60 days of travelling will have to be paid in full.

Yeh I think we may do that then, we get the benefits of the fast track and bits and bobs that way too don't we?

Is it worth going for the discounts they are offering now if we can or waitng for a last min deal?

We don't go til 6 months time.. They had a computer glitch today apparently happened to a few others n it was their mistake. Fuming is an understatement. How they've done it I don't know. Just waiting for refund now n they have apologised alot.. Final payment isn't due til July just messed up things in my accounts is all

You get fastpass regardless or where you stay its included as part of your ticket.
However you do get extra magic hours by staying onsite so you get to go into the park at 8 instead of 10am for selected rides.

Personally, I would wait it out a bit longer they are always offering deals and 20% isnt that big of a saving they've had 30% to 50% flash sales before. Though id book transport if possible asap as prices can go ulpquite a lot.

I hav a question for those who have been there.

what is your favourite ride there and what are your recommendations wt a 5 yo princess?


thanks

Hello!
We were in DLP last week (very lucky with the weather!) with an almost 2 and almost 4 yo, they're a bit soft and 3yo not keen on anything too dark or scaryish!

The most popular ones for us were mainly in fantasyland, especially Carousel, Dumbo and Small world (even my other half seemed to like this best). Carpets of Agrabah in Walt Disney studios. They both loved Playhouse Disney live, and we don't have Sky, so they picked it all up while we were there. Saw it 3 days running and of course the parades. Saw Stars and Cars 3 days running too. On the first day there was a small area at the front roped off for children in costumes.:)

On the princess front 3yo loved the parade. Not happy I didn't film the princesses dancing!
We ate at Auberge de Cendrillon which if you can face the high price, was a real highlight of our trip. We wouldn't have been able to really meet Sleeping Beauty if we hadn't gone there. When I made the reservation the Concierge pointed out that I didn't have to pay for a meal for our 3yo, so we just ordered for the 2 adults and the girls had our "cocktails" and ate the bread, salmon from our starter and some desert and spent the whole time happy. They had ham rolls later when they were hungry. We met Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, Aurora, Philip and mice Suzy & Perla, so the girls wouldn't have done much eating if we had ordered them expensive meals. If I went again I would ask for a table near the dancing as we were at the other end, though we still went to watch. Nearly all the little girls there were wearing their princess dresses:). Definately worth it for us.
