Quickrooms won't give me any quotes at the moment (thought I'd check mine against it )

I have to go through hotelscomparison.com to find it, but I get 1 night on 24 September at Magic Circus for £98.93 (£101.99 - 3% Quidco), compared with €146.70 through the hotel direct.

Thanks for that, thats what we're actually considering now. Will the hotels allow us to leave our case there until we can check in? Or is there a facility at the train station?

You wouldn't think i'd been before would you?? Its so much more confusing when you're travelling with a child! There was no worry when it was just the 2 of us...... :rotfl:

If its any of the associated hotels, they all have free luggage stores where you can leave your bags until you get your room key.

There is a facility at the train station too - I usually leave our luggage there first thing in the morning on our last day and pick it up before getting the TGV back to CDG. The lockers at the train station cost from around 7euros up to 9 euros for the largest ones, and the locker room is manned until 10pm at night.

Or, if you're only going for one night/2 days, and you only have one case, you can leave it at the luggage store at the entrance to the main park too - it costs 5 euros to do this, and again, this luggage office is manned all day and until 45 minutes after the official park closing time. I would probably do that on both days if I were you and only had 2 days in the parks - it means you don't have to go anywhere near your hotel until you're just about ready for bed .

how much would your park passes cost you for the 2 adults for 2 days? Have you considered phoning Disney and asking them how much one night would be onsite? You automatically get your check-in day and the next day as park hopper tickets for your whole party when you book one night with Disney.

I've looked at the disneyland website & the lowest onsite hotel was Santa Fe, & that was £418 which I think is a bit steep for one night.

Thanks for the locker advice, thats good to know. I didnt even know they had lockers at the entrance. Are they easy to find & of a reasonable size?

I didn't think you could get online quotes for only one night at DLP with Disney? Guess that must have changed.

The luggage room at the main entrance to the park is very easy to find. Instead of going under the main park entrance to the turnstiles, take the right hand side path (around the building). Straight ahead of you you will see the Guest Services window, immediately to the right of this is the Left Luggage office.

Yeah thinking of it, I don't think you could before could you? Its definitely working now. Think we'll go with Dreamcastle or Magic Circus & leave our case at the Left Luggage Office. Thanks for your help!

just thinking - you're visiting over a Saturday/Sunday, so having Extra Magic Hours would be very useful for you to get Fantasyland rides done on the Sunday morning.
Expedia have the Hotel L'Elysee Val d'Europe at £76 for your one night (I'm sure theres cashback with Expedia too). This is the only non-onsite hotel which gives you access to Extra Magic Hours. One stop away from the park gates on the train (every few minutes from Val d'Europe to DLP and back all day every day), and only 2 euros-ish per adult per journey (so less than 10 euros total for you).

I should say :eek:
we stayed at the Explorers and having the pool and play area is good,but you won't really have time to use it anyway ! so wouldn't let that sway you into paying more etc

I did look at that actually, but the lack of breakfast put me off as i'm planning to make our lunch at breakfast :rotfl:

Checked that and I could have got a slightly cheaper deal on explorers. You should never re-check.
Still it was only another £12 a night I paid, (but for two nights though). For the room for six of us it's not that much in the overall cost.
