were you able to sleep on the coach, or was it too noisy on the coach, was there much space to move around?

so many questions I know and im sorry, just wondering as this year we want to go to paris as neveer been before

I slept it wasnt noisy at all, you get the same room as with day trips on coaches but Leger do have what they call a lounge at the back of some coaches where you can stretch out (a big table with more leg room) but they dont let people sit here all the way as your meant to allow others to use it.

Hi all - could I just ask a few questions to those whom have recently been to DLP? We are going in a couple of months so started planning where to eat and what to do. We are wanting to book the Mickey Mouse cafe but wondered if we can order a couple of pizzas between us rather than paying for individual set menus (kids are very fussy eaters)? If so i will book it. Also at the princess pavilion will we see a few of them or do we just meet 1 daily? I wondered what length the queues were for this? thanks

Yes you can order pizzas to share.

With the princess pavillion we waited an hour and saw 1 princess, they have 2 there at a time but they alternate the guests to the person infront of you will see the 1st princess youll see the second. They change the princess's every half hour so you could end up seeing the same one on day 2 as you do on day 1 and if you ask before waiting whos up there again you might not see them due to them changing them. It is well themed waiting area but gets very hot and squashed in there.

Thanks, might reconsider and drive instead as Coach trips are only 3-5 days so very short, do they stop a few times on route to stretch your legs.

just wondering how many stops they do before they get to Dover as will they do lots of other pickups as well

It depends how many people have booked and from where really. Me and my mum went in 1994 by coach from South Wales and I swore then I'd never do it again. We were the second of about 10 pick ups, not so bad on the way but coming back I thought we'd never get home.

We're flying this time (not that it's without it's misery for me given the plane we're going on ) but next time I'm quite keen to drive and possibly break the journey up with an overnight stay somewhere in SE England.

Long coach journeys are the work of the devil himself.

I agree! We went on a couple of holidays by coach when I was a child and I swore at the time I'd never do that to my kids - and I haven't!

Horrible way to travel imo!

We stay in Ashford the night before and go by Eurostar (£19 Travelodge room this time), as we also have a long journey just to get to the sea ports.

We drive straight home after getting into Ashford at the end of the holiday though and it's bad enough by car! I'd hate it if we had to stop several times on the way!

im interested in a trip to eurodisney this august, and im tempted to stop in a disney hotel. this thread is huge and im stuggling to find much helpful information.

im after my best booking options, i want to drive myself, and take either ferry (prefered) or eurotunnel. and stop for 3 nights.

who is best to use? or is it just a case of go direct to disney?

thanks

if you want park tickets included in your disney hotel package, keep checking the official disneyland paris site, look out for special offers etc, as this will usually be the cheapest price. book your ferry/eurotunnel separately yourself.

Booking Eurostar and disney seperately is working out more expensive!!

Unless i choose a train where I have to change and it means hanging around at the station for 1 hr to 1hr 30 mins which I don't fancy doing although those trains do leave earlier, other wise for direct trains there and back it works out as £400 plus the disney hol which is £274 = £674

Or i can book it all thro the site and it comes to £589, altho I havent got as far as to see if this is the direct trains or not :S

So confusing lol

if you book transport through the site the disney express is included ( i think) whereas if you book the eurostar directly you have to pay £21 an adult (ish). So that is a consideration too.

Go with Disney then as it will be the straight through train and you'll get Disney express if you want it.

Doesn't often work out that way but if it does, book it quick, I say!
