you can buy shares in eurodisney sca, apply to get shareholders club membership, and this gives you discounts of 15% on your table/buffet meals and souvenirs in DLP, access to Salon Mickey, and 10% discount on your purchases at Disney stores in the UK.

This sounds ideal for us was looking at the site and you only need a few shares to become a member. Can any one tell me where i buy them from? And how much is the admin ect thanks guys

Am so excited just at the finding the best price stage at the mo. We are thinking of going 7-11-11 and we will be there hopefully to see the christmas lights. I have priced it seperately and got this:

sequoia Lodge - £618 -£27.81 (quidco) = £590.19
Eurotunnel - £84 - 3.36 (quidco) = 80.64
Total = 670.83

That is for 2 adults and 1 child 3 nights 4 days
What do you think?

Can't get a half board price at the mo but how much roughly is it?

I became a shareholder four weeks ago and managed to get it all sorted out in one morning, but I only had a week to our departure date, you have oodles of time! I made a post about it at the time (4909). Our proper gold card arrived a couple of days after we got back.

I opened a halifax share dealing account, which was free and seemed to be the most commonly recommended one, (although I know there must be plenty of other choices around). I brought 5 shares for about £7.50 each and paid a £17.50 admin fee for international sharedealing. Then had to pay 30euro to join the dlp shareholders club.

If you hold 20 shares membership is free, but it seemed much cheaper for now to buy the minimum of 5 and pay the 30euro joining fee. We're planning to keep an eye on the share price and perhaps buy another 15 if the price drops, a few months ago they seemed to be around £4 each.

There's loads of info on this thread:

Waves to all,

Going to Euro disney on Tuesday for 4 days with my two young kids and my in laws. Can anybody give advice on eating out at night cheap.Don't have a great deal of money and in laws booked without including evening meal.

Having been to DLP twice now, i would find 5 nights/6 days too long, even as a first time visitor. I think you'll need to find other things to do, maybe in Paris ? After 2 days we'd done more or less most of what we wanted to do, maybe another day would have been nice. Buffalo Bills show is expensive but well worth it if you can afford it. Great show for the kids and the food was good too. We only went because it was raining really hard and we couldn't face trailing around the park in the wet !
Still prefer Florida though, have been 4 times but i'd go every year if i could afford it !

Does anyone know if there's going to be another 40% off offer, like they did around this time last year?
I don't wanna book now on the 25% if there's gonna end up being another offer. lol

Hello all,

Me and dd got back from Disney yesterday and had a FANTASIC time!
DD said and I quote "It was the best thing ever ever ever thats happened in my entire life except for being born" :rotfl:
Bless her

We went Wednesday on the Eurostar that was fine, no problems.

Had booked the Disney express and Standard Half Board so were given the tickets and vouchers onboard the train.

Arrived at Marne Disney station, took the suitcases up the the Express bit (went to the wrong floor but the lovely guy said it was fine & took our cases anyway) and we went straight into Disneyland :j
The park wasnt busy and we managed to do Space Mountain 4 times in about 30mins lol
Me & dd loved Space Mountain & Buzz Lightyear Lazer Blast but absolutely loved Rock and rollercoaster so much we did it 8 times in a row on Thursday
Same with Crushes Coaster...totally awesome and a quite scarey!
We went on Hollywood Tower of Terror once....holy !!!!!! thats one scary ride :eek:
Santa Fe hotel was great.
No problems expect brekkie being a bit manic!
Managed to get the 7am slot and got there by 6:45am to be front of the queue then grabbed a tray and found a table to leave them on with dd's bag then went and got food.
"Borrowed" rolls and choc au pains for snacks in the park.

Took a bottle of squash and 2 water bottles and filled them up to take to the park.
The garage is right out the front of Santa Fe and bought a big bottle of water for 90cents to use in the room for juice and just filled up the waterbottles in the parks water fountains.
I took pot noodles and tons of cereal bars and crisps but we didnt even eat the noodles and hardly any bars.
I found making up the rolls with ham & cheese and the choc au pains great for snacking on during the day.

We had the HB standard but I wouldnt buy it again.

We ate at the Plaza Gardens buffet which was nice.

Cafe Mickey, we put the vouchers towards it and paid the difference which was so worth it as we got to see (and cuddle) loads of characters so that saved tons of time waiting in queues to see them in the park!
Plus, that Mickey fondant cake ohhhh lordy BEST CAKE EVER!

Restaurant Des Stars wasnt very nice and I was annoyed to see my 34euro hb vouchers were more then the buffet would have been if i'd paid cash.
Same in Annettes Diner it was around 17.60 for my 3 courses and 11.40 ish for a kids so say about 30 euros so i "lost" 4 euros
Annettes meal was lush though good prices and huge portions of fries with a big burger! yumyum @ them hash brown sticks.

We ate Macdonalds yesterday and it was nice but cant believe they don't sell milkshakes!
Although the daim bar mcflurry with chocolate made up for that

Cant believe how much walking we did though...you get to the Village and then it feels like 5 miles till you actually get to the rides lol. My legs and feet have never been abused this much before and im covered in bruises from the rides.

Errrm cant think of anything else as the brain isnt fully functional atm but i think thats probably from being bashed so much on Space Mountain lol

Sorry for the essay but hope i've given people a few good tips & ideas of what it was like for 1st timers

If anyone wants to know anything else let me know
Cheers
Steph

PS forgot to say how hot it was on Saturday, me and dd both have sunburned cheeks. It was proper boiling!
Both parks were heaving on Sat & Sunday, i've never seen a tide of people like that before!

PPS....A quick tip. I ran out of room on my camera sd memory card and in the parks it was 79cents a picture to print.
We were walking through the train station and spotted a photo machine and it was 25cents a picture! So I printed a load out there and it was really quick but make sure you have the right money as it doesnt give change.

Ignoring the fact that it says the following ...

"Book by 10th April for arrivals from 6th April - 7th November." :D

If I wait until Sunday to see if the offers are any better does that mean they will be for the 8th November onwards?

And if so, will any holidays booked after Sunday for between 11th April 2011 - 7th November 2011 will be at full price or will there still be offers for this period?

We dont usually find out until the day before if a new offer is getting promoted. However, they usually have a week or two with no offer then a new one comes out, whether its free travel, free hb vouchers, a discount who knows.
There wont be any from Nov 8th onwards as those dates aren't available yet to book.
