Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

Smiler1430_2

Hi All

This is a great thread full of useful information.

I don't know if i'm missing something but I hear a lot of people say that it is cheaper to book a partner hotel rather than going directly with Disney, all the quotes and research i've done is proving the opposite?

I've looking at 4 Nights / 5 Days in September for 2 Adults and 1 Child (4) and its coming in at £550 for the Hotel / Passes would I be able to get it cheaper elsewhere?

Kind Regards

its not always cheaper offsite - it depends on what offers are available from Disney for the onsite hotels.

you might be able to do it cheaper though going offsite and buying your own annual passes.

However, with a 4-year old you would get the childs annual pass free when buying an adult one, through either cemultiavantages or promoparcs. so for 2 adult fantasy passes and one free childs that would be around 238 euros total from cemultiavantages. then you look at the offsite hotels through travelrepublic/expedia/alpharooms/hotels.com etc etc. if you find 4 nights bed & breakfast comes to less than £300, then thats a significant saving over the onsite deal (plus because you have annual passes, you wouldn't need to pay for park tickets at all on any further trips you make to DLP until September 2013 ).

if you do go down the fantasy pass route, check DLRPMagic for any blockout dates (these are dates where you can't use the annual pass as a park entry ticket).

Hi we went for 5 nights so 6 days in the park, a lot of people used the emh for either getting fastpasses or for doing the tram and fire engine in the mainstreet.

We took a card from the post office with us, loaded it with euros, got some cash out from there with that, you can top it up on line etc, we didnt need too, found some bits reasonable, some of the toys and t shirts about same or cheaper, some bits a lot more expensive, worth visiting a disney store before hand to get a rough idea of prices, we got ds as a treat a cars suitcase, it was £30 here in our disneystore, over there it was £45 lol, the dress up is expensive there too. We took £500 for our 6 days and had about £100 left over afterwards but we where half board

Realised Blue Lagoon is going to be shut when I'm there! I'm such an idiot... arghhh. Oh well... I'll ring up and check as POTC is open on the 17th & 18th so it could be open, but think I'll book restaurants soon so it's all sorted and one less thing to worry about.

That'd be a nightmare if you had! I'll be dragging my suitcase out tomorrow and putting mine in. Last thing you want to leave eh.

Ds saw my stash of tea bags, sugar sachets etc all bagged up... the smart sod told me that I'd forgot a spoon.

Spoon; good thinking - thank your ds for me ]

Anyone know when the program for next week will be up on the disneyland website? Currently showing program that ends this Friday, so will it be up on Saturday?

PS so far it looks like the motor stunt show will be open next week which Im sooooo happy about - it showed as being closed a few weeks ago, didnt get to see this last time round and relly want to watch it - heres hoping it really is open

balletshoes

it might be Saturday, it might be Monday. the programme won't change (apart from scheduled closures) for next week compared with this one.
