One adult outbound was £59.50, coming back was £34.50. We're two adults and two children and it cost twice as much to go there as it did to come back.

Bloody hell! I hope my tickets aren't that expensive getting worried now. Guess I am getting a good group deal on rooms but could do with cheaper travel too!! Though June would be good as it's still term time. Wonder if just getting to Paris is cheaper.

There must be a eurostar expert on here somewhere x

If you go on the site and get dates for 6 months in advance (when they are released), you'll get an idea of prices for Paris too - but I checked yesterday for Feb and got the same prices as curly did, more going out than what it was coming back - £218 out, £138 back in, and this was for Feb (not in half term).

Paris was slightly cheaper by around £10 pp but was outweighed by having to faff around getting from Paris and paying more money to get the train from Paris to DLP.

Have you thought about driving? We drove this year for the first time and the train is about £100 for a car up to 9 people, return, and then the cost of fuel and tolls (20.40 Euros each way for the toll). Between 5 of you would make it worthwhile and it is an easy drive.

Thanks for the suggestion but including renting a minibus I don't think it would be any cheaper. The idea of driving in France terrifies me so I wouldn't enjoy it.

Plus it takes sloppily long to drive

Help! Bought shares in euro disney yesterday with Halifax & rang for proof certificate or whatever it was i needed & he said because it was on foreign market they couldn't send me anything i could print a statment out from my account. what exactly do i need? have i done it right?

If you apply online

http://corporate.disneylandparis.com/shareholders/shareholders-club/index-register.xhtml?tab=tab2

put "administered registered" for type of shareholder, then when they ask for proof of shareholding you can email them a copy of your contract note.

(It does say
"...If you meet these requirements, complete the online membership form and mail or fax us recent proof of your position as a shareholder (for example: bank account, contract note, certificate from your financial intermediary, ...). Please note that electronic prints of online statements are not accepted."

Sometimes they accept the email, sometimes you have to print it and send it in the post, unless you have a fax utiliy)

2 cars if there are nine of you?

Take around 3 hours from Calais although you could break it up with an overnight stay somewhere. I always said the same but we did it this year.

It is just a thought, we got our Eurotunnel on Clubcard vouchers so it only cost £3. That swayed it for us, LOL!!

However, I hate standard class on the Eurostar with a passion, my kids are always sick in Stanrd as it is so hot and crammed, we will only ever drive now, it was lovely and so relaxing with time to suit ourselves and no looking at the clock for getting home - even if you miss the train they'll put you on the next one.
