Hiya me and my husband are looking to take our daughter to disneyland paris but were wondering what months/ dates to avoid? also has anyone seen the voucher they are giving out on facebook for upto £170 off bookings? if so how do i get this to work on the website as i cant seem to find where to enter the voucher code? many thanks

The current 40% offer saves you more and you can't use the £170 voucher in combination with any other offers.

I personally would avoid school holidays as you'll spend most of your time in ques. Weekends are busy too.

I cannot find the timetable for the RER going from Disneyland to Paris although I can find the Paris to Disneyland RER timetable. Does anyone know where I can find the RER timetable for Disneyland to Paris as I have spent hours looking for it? Can you purchase the Paris Vista passes at the airport or could I purchase them online before I go?

I found it, http://parisbytrain.com/files/2008/07/rer_a_schedule_la_defense_s-s.pdf

You can buy the Paris Visite pass online before you go (see here) but they will charge you for delivery. They are available to purchase at the airport or from the train station if you would rather wait until you're there.

Before you buy them, just make sure that the Visite is the best option for you. A one day pass for zones 1-5 (which you will need coming from DLP and to CDG) is €20.50 per adult. Individual RER tickets will cost €7-ish from DLP to Paris + €9-ish from Paris to CDG, say €17 each in total so cheaper overall, although this wouldn't include any travel on the Metro or buses whilst in Paris. Could be worth it in your case just for the ease of buying and using a single pass however and you do get a few discounts included for some of the tourist sites.

If we get the Visite card does that mean we could get the bus to the Eiffel Tower or Arc de Triomphe as the niece does not like walking far although we love it as we get to see more? Where can I find out what there is to see in Paris and what is practical to see or do within 6 hours on a Sunday?

12 year olds are still counted as children, so they get a 50% price reduction. The Paris Visite pass is good value, as you can use it all day, to sight see around paris, and even get you back to the airport. Make sure you buy the zone 1-5, not the zone 1 -3 though. You can buy it at the ticket office at the train station at Disney. Or you can buy them in advance, as they don't become valid until the day you first stick them into a machine, so if you travel to disney by RER, you can buy the passes at the same time you buy the single ticket to get there, and they'll be good for the day you leave,

Google translate isn't too bad on this. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ratp.fr%2Fen%2Fratp%2Fc_20586%2Ftous-les-titres-et-tarifs%2F&act=url

thanks very much. am thinking of booking for the 24th september for 4 nights at the sequoia lodge. is the meal deal plan any good? and is it worth going for the plus option rather than the standard? any help is much appreciated, thanks

none of the meal plans save you money, they are only useful if you plan to have at least one table/buffet service meal every day and you want to budget for those in advance.

Check out DLRPmagic for their restaurant threads for a rough idea of prices, and of course there are other ways of eating at DLP (ie sharing pizza at Cafe Mickey, counter service, various places in the Village which aren't included in the half board plans etc).

We are going to Disney next week :eek: and thanks to Sky we have 4 tickets for Friday but none for Saturday. Can anyone tell me where is the cheapest place, at this late stage, to get 3 adult tickets for next Saturday 5th May? My niece wants to get signatures where is best to get the signatures?

Hubby & I want to take her into Paris on the Sunday but we need to be at CDG about 7pm that evening. What would be the best way to get into Paris from Hotel Circus and then back to the hotel to collect our luggage and then travel to the airport for 7pm?

I have never left the planning of anything to this late before and never will again! I am reading as fast as I can but obviously not fast enough. I still have to book the car park and travel insurance yet! :eek:

The RER and Metro is the easiest train system in the world to scam. Simply get a ticket to anywhere (1.70 EUR ish) and then when you get to the station go to the disabled gate and go through with everyone else.
Dont even bother paying for kids either.

Keep your wits about you on the Metro, lot of unsavoury characters, aggressive buskers and the like all waiting for tourists on that line.

We are travelling to Disney on the Disney bus! Hopefully we will be able to find the place in the airport that sells the Paris Visite passes so we will have them ready to use on Sunday!
