    They do say it is subject to change if you book and Eurostar prices arent available. My problem would be that they have only told you now for travel in July?? They usually inform if there is a change as soon as the prices for Eurostar have been released onto thier system, and it has always been nominal. A lot of my customers have then had the benefit of being able to cancel just the Eurostar part of it, and book thier own direct with Eurostar, so either way they have got a good price with Eurostar included.
    I would challenge them why they didnt inform you of this price change when the Eurostar prices were first released to them

    I have finally booked but decided against going through Disney as it their prices are way to high this year and the prices for the Santa Fe and Cheyenne do not seem to be changing no matter what offer they have on. I eventually booked offsite at the Dream Castle for 5 days/4 nights for £244 for bed and breakfast (hot and cold breakfast buffet) through Travel Republic for me and the hubby now just got to sort out the Eurostar and park tickets. It works out so much cheaper to stay offsite.

    Disney seem to be putting offers on but on the lower end hotels the prices never seem to change

    offisite is cheaper, in school holidays esp, and if you need more than 1 room!

    but i'd have thought for just 2 of you an onsite package would be the cheaper option?!

    Onsite staying at the Santa Fe was £644 and then I would have had to pay for Eurostar separate.

    I have now booked hotel for £244, park tickets are approximately £240 and then the Eurostar is roughly £170 for both us - total £654 and that includes travel.

    I think for a family of 4 its cheaper to stay onsite.

    FOR THE PEOPLE LOOKING TO BUY PARK TICKETS/HOTELS AT THE MOMENT: http://www.expedia.co.uk/destination/disneylandparis/default.aspx?pmicid=258051

    Expedia have an offer, book a Paris hotel (12% Quidco cashback) and you can get 2 for 1 on park tickets. You can get up to 4 free tickets per booking and this is for 1D/2 Park tickets.

    You buy the tickets on Expedia and you'll get a voucher to exchange for the free ones, show the voucher on the gate and get your free tickets. Full T&C are on the link above. Each booking gets you up to 4 free tickets.

    You also get 12% cashback on Disney tickets bought through Expedia.

    I've done a dummy booking. City residence in Chessy is £51 for a Monday night for 2 Ad, 2Ch. OD/2P Tickets on Expedia are £50.72 Ad and £45.65 Ch so it would be possible to book the hotel and tickets for 2 days for £243.74 with 12% cashback of £30, so hotel and tickets for £213.74.

    Means you can - 2 adults and 2 kids paid for - one night Santa Fe and 2 days tickets for around 349.74 plus cashback of £42.

    If you want more nights you'll have to do another booking, you should even be able to sell spare tickets when you get home as this will give you 2 nights and 4 days of free tickets and then you'd save more as you'd easy get £100 for 4 tickets on eBay (says free tickets are not transferable but you could use free tickets for day 3 and sell the bought from Expedia park tickets)

    Hope that all makes sense!! Now back to looking for a hotel for the night....!!

    Not wanting to sound stupid do you need to buy the park tickets the same time as the hotel?

    From what I gathered, you book your hotel stay and when you do you get an email with this offer (like a voucher), you then take this voucher with you to disney and you get 2 for 1 tickets at the ticket booth in disney.

    I think thats right from what I read.

    Or do you book your hotel and you get a 2 for 1 voucher then you purchase up to 4 tickets then when at the Disneyland gate you show your hotel booking your purchased ticket and 2 for 1 voucher and passport at which point they give you a free ticket?

    Cos it says this

    To exchange the voucher for a 1-Day / 2 Parks Hopper Ticket, you must present your Expedia hotel booking confirmation (printed out), your Expedia paid ticket voucher and official form of photo ID.

    I assume they need your ID as it's for uk residents only
