Hi, I'm going to DLP this summer too
But I can not find good offers , anyone knows a good page to reserve the hotel and tickets?
A lot of thanks.

at the minute the Belgium equivalent of the Disneyland Paris website has a 40% flash sale lasting 48 hours however there aren't very many dates available and most appear to fall over a weekend. I have booked via another countries website on previous trips to take advantage of their offers and have experienced no problems; however, the flash sale only has some dates in May and June available to book.

I'm not sure when the UK will have something similar available, I'm hoping it will be sometime soon as I need my disney fix

You know what, I think they only have a limited number of cheap rooms in the sale. I have tried to book for the days we are going, via the special offers link for the dates they say are on offer, and it is showing nothing at allavailable - but go onto Expedia they do have rooms available for full price. Sneaky.

Hi, I am thinking of going to Eurodisney this summer. My dad lives in Paris and as I don't wanna go on my own, I'm thinking of taking my little brother with me. Wanna go for two days but will just take the train there and back each day.

I had a look at the annual passes and it looks like that is going to work out cheaper anyway, so am considering getting one for me. Now my little brother is 13, so I guess ticket wise it'll count like an adult, but I was wondering if there are any discounts available for annual pass holders if they take someone along. I.e. me buying myself an annual pass and then paying for my brother on the day?

I couldn't find anything on the English part of the website and my French is a bit rusty, but there is a line on there that looks like I could get 10% of a standard price:"10% sur le prix de votre billet 1 jour pour une visite le jour même, les jours de restriction uniquement à l'entr!e des Parcs Disney®." But I might be getting that wrong.

Does anyone know?

Hi, you can find the general info on annual passes here -

http://www.dlrpmagic.com/planning/booking/annual-passports/

If you're only going to DLP for 2 days each, I'd imagine you'd be better off buying park hopper passes instead of annual passes - unless you want to buy Classic or Francillien passes on your first day at DLP, then come back for your 2nd park day at least 2 days after your first day. Classic and Francillien passes both have blackout dates (dates they can't be used as park entry tickets) so you'd need to check those for your preferred dates. As far as I can see, you don't get reduction on park tickets for your family/friends if you have a Classic or Francillien annual pass.

Or you could become a shareholder and you;ll get discounted tickets. I'll post the info up when I get a spare few minutes tomorrow.

Hi everyone

I'm considering taking our family to DLP this May half term (for us that means any time from 28th May to 5th June) and, as a complete Disneyland virgin, I'm feeling rather overwhelmed with all the options.

Perhaps if I outlined our circumstances, someone more experienced might be able to help:

1. we are 2 adults, 2 children (boys aged 7 and 5)
2. we would be travelling from South Cumbria (flights from Manchester to CDG?) or should we be looking at Eurostar?
3. would we be better going on weekdays rather than the weekends?
4. I can probably stay in Paris for free due to my line of work (but is it better to overnight at the resort? would we miss out on certain bits... fireworks? by not staying?)
5. although we've never been, I feel 2 days at DLP would be ample for us for a first time trip. Would probably prefer to spend some time doing other sights such as Eiffel Tower, etc. on other days.
6. will it be horribly busy at half term? do I need to buy special tickets to get priority on certain rides?

I'm sure I have other Qs but those are the immediate ones that spring to mind. If you can help with any, it'd be really appreciated!

Thanks.

We are looking at going to DLP for the first time at the end of September (we have only ever been to Florida before) but I am waiting to see if there are any betters offers. We were going to book when the 30% offer was on but then I read on a few websites that they normally offer 40% and sometimes 50% off.

Does anyone know when these normally come out or is it just a case of waiting. Any help would be appreciated.

eurostar will be expensive as the later you leave it to book, the more expensive it gets (you need to book 6 months in advance to get the cheapest fares). Have a look at early morning commuter flights out to CDG and back in the evening from CDG to make the most of your time at DLP
3. would we be better going on weekdays rather than the weekends?
weekdays, definitely - but not on Ascension Day Thursday 2nd June and the following day 3rd June - Ascension Day is a French public holiday and will be rammed at DLP.
4. I can probably stay in Paris for free due to my line of work (but is it better to overnight at the resort? would we miss out on certain bits... fireworks? by not staying?)
there are no fireworks at DLP in May/June.
5. although we've never been, I feel 2 days at DLP would be ample for us for a first time trip. Would probably prefer to spend some time doing other sights such as Eiffel Tower, etc. on other days.
6. will it be horribly busy at half term? do I need to buy special tickets to get priority on certain rides?
yes it will be busy, anyone can use fastpass though on certain rides in the park - check the official site or DLRPMagic for details of this.

I'm sure I have other Qs but those are the immediate ones that spring to mind. If you can help with any, it'd be really appreciated!

Thanks.

hope this helps
