    My local travel company are doing an offer at the moment for June half term.

    It's a bus trip that leaves and drops off from the town we live in which is appealing. It's a luxury bus.

    4 days in Disneyland Paris, 3 nights stay Explorers Hotel B&B with 2 days park pass included. £309 for adults and £199 for children.

    I find this quite appealing as it doesn't mean messing about with airport transfers etc (we live 50 miles from nearest airport)

    Getting closer to our trip now (only 14 sleeps to go according to our son !!!) though still waiting for the Sun voucher to arrive :(

    Anyways - what's this about discounts if you're a shareholder ? What sort of discounts are we talking about ? How many shares do you need ? And where / how long does it take to apply for shares ?

    most important question Adam - do you think you are likely to spend more than £500 on your trip, on just souvenirs and table/buffet service meals?

    If the answer is No, then shares are not worth it for you on this trip.

    I have shares, but I visit DLP on average twice a year, and buy annual passes/stay offsite. That makes it easily worthwhile for me to have shares for the discounts.

    £500 on souvenirs and meals ?? Won't even spend £500 on the whole 3 day break :D

    I won't bother with share(s) then.

    :D I like the sound of that. Maybe if, once you've been to DLP this time round, you decide you might want to return at a different time of the year, that might be the time to look at the shareholders club discounts etc.

    Thanks

    Not overly panicing yet.

    The confirmation emails do say "Your final travel documentation along with your Free Family Ticket Voucher and any pre-purchased additional Park Passes and/or Meal Vouchers will be sent to you by post approximately 10-15 days prior to your departure date" and we're not due to be there until Feb 13th.
  • Hi guys,
    I went for our visit last March and will be returning this March and after many fun filled hours reading al the info and trip reports on disboards I have a few questions about things I didnt do / see etc.

    Casey Jr train and the story book rides - are these only open certain times of the day? Didnt even see them last time round.

    Panoramagic (balloon ride in Village) - this seemed to be closed last time - is it usually closed in March?

    Woodys round up - this has been described as a meet and greet attraction but Im sure it was closed last trip - is it open in low season?

    Sorry, I know there are more but have forgotten them all right now. Thanks in advance :)

    often only open on weekend dates in low season

    Panoramagic (balloon ride in Village) - this seemed to be closed last time - is it usually closed in March?
    this is completely weather/visibility dependant at all times of the year - if its breezy, the balloon won't go up

    Woodys round up - this has been described as a meet and greet attraction but Im sure it was closed last trip - is it open in low season?
    no I'm afraid not, not since last year at this time.

    Sorry, I know there are more but have forgotten them all right now. Thanks in advance :)

    not long to go for you now :).
