Is it possible to book the half board meal plan through DLP even if you've not booked your packakge with them? I know it doesn't save a lot of money but it would help me with my budgeting

Hi, I have read pages and pages and got some really useful information thank you. We are hoping to go to DLP in the half term hols, end of Oct to Nov. I cant decide if we should stay on site or not.
It will be busy i should think and both children are early risers,so the fact we can go in the park early is important. Am i right in thinking that if you get a dream pass you can stay off site and still get in early? Can i book before and do we all need them? I think they are about £164 each. Also, from what i have read,sometimes the early opening doesnt happen on certain dates? Any help would be great, my head aches!!

if your half term holiday is the very last week of October (ie w/c 29th October) it will be very busy at DLP, as almost all European schools (including all French ones) have that holiday week too.

You will need the Dream Pass, because your chosen week is blackout for the cheaper Fantasy Pass (which also now includes Extra Magic Hours access). EMH will usually be on every day in October, and probably will be in early November too, because of the French school holidays.

You will all need the Dream pass if you stay offsite, as park entry tickets.

promoparcs or cemultiavantages will probably be your best bet for the dream passes, if either of your children are aged 3 or over and under 7 years old, you may, if you wait a little longer to buy them, find a childs pass free deal with one of those sites.

But to be honest, I would pick another half term or school holiday to go - w/c 29th October this year will be a very busy one.

if you've booked a DLP package through a travel agent, your travel agent may be able to add the half board plan, but you'd have to go through them.

Thanks very much for the advice balletshoes. I will have a look at another half term. I work in a school and my five year olds school is very strict over np hols in term time! Would you still reccommend a dream pass and staying off site?

if theres a big difference in the price compared with an onsite stay, then yes i'd definitely say do annual passes and stay offsite but nearby.

fantasy passes also include access to extra magic hours now, but the do have blackout dates, you'd need to check them before committing yourself to buying them (they are cheaper than dream passes).

check dlrpmagic for their great information on the annual passes (its the 20th anniversaire version of the passes that are sold now).

Hi we are thinking of going to DLP in the Summer holidays next year. Firstly does anyone know when the prices will be made available for next year? Also we will probably book a 4 night break directly through their website but Im getting confused about the options of how to get there! We live in Great Yarmouth so not that close to anything really. Some say its cheaper and quick to drive but im not convinced with petrol and channel crossings. Then there is the train or flying. Not sure about the transfers from the airport though. Any advice about what would be cheapest, quickest and easiest please? x

I live in Norwich and always get the Eurostar but then theres only 2 of us so depends how many people are going as to what's the cheapest. I'm waiting for a deal for Christmas and a lot of people are saying that will be out in June as well as next years dates.

I like Eurostar as it takes you directly there so no transfers etc.

Looking at going for 4 nights September 24th to 28th. Cheapest i can see is £765 for Hotel Cheyanne via http://www.disneylandparisdirect.com . Booking through Disney themselves comes out at £821. What do you guys reckon to that for price ( Its for 2 adults and 2 kids ages 15 & 7 ). Is there any major dis-advantage to booking with the website ive posted above?

Also is there any way of finding out roughly what opening times will be at that time of year?

I wonder if someone can give me some advice please.

I am looking to buy 4 annual passports the Fantasy ones as we are going to DLRP in August. I have noticed CEMultivantages have started selling them again, but they list them as Magical Moments passes not the 20th anniversary ones and the list price they quote is the old list price of 139 euros.
My question is, if I buy these, when I go to activate them in August will they be the 20th anniversary ones with the extra magic hours as well ?

It all seems so confusing !

The park always opens at 10am but to those staying in a Disney hotel like yourself it opens at 8am.

My friend has used that company before and had no problems
