    Hiya, I would avoid staying at one of the official on site hotels - v.v.v pricey, there are associated hotels that are commutable by shuttle bus - they're around 10 mins from the resort - and wont break the bank. Try the L'Elsee Val d'Europe near Disneyland Paris :)

    As for tickets, I bought them for the Disney Store for 3 days and figured the price would be the same no matter where you bought them from. When I got to Paris I saw the ticket prices were around 65 pounds cheaper... so I would recommend by on the door, however you will probably have to face a v v v long queue, and may not get a queue jump ticket (in theory to avoid further waiting for rides but depending on how many people buy a queue jump, you may be better off without one) so it's your call :)....

    As for travel, euro star sometimes do great deals with hotels included, def worth checking out.

    Good luck and have a fantastic hol.

    Tickets are often cheaper to buy on their website and print at home.

    Can some please explain the ce-multiavantages process?

    I ordered 2 annual passes and they seemed to have processed the order but never asked for the name of the pass holders..!

    Does passes comes with names pre-printed or they are open?

    They are open / no name printed on them.

    Can anyone help please.

    I am looking at going to DLP in the february half term, just me and 2 children. I'd like to stay in a resort hotel so was looking at packages online. When it came to adding on travel it came up as an extra £800 to go Eurostar direct, is that right ( monday to thursday of the february half term)? I tried looking at the prices on the Eurostar website and it was only showing up until november. I'd like to make the journey as easy as possible but not for £800, or am I being naive?

    book your hotel with Disney and book your travel separately. For Eurostar, phone them now and ask them to take your details so they can let you know as soon as the February dates are released for sale (they go on sale over the phone before they appear online). That way you can book Eurostar over the phone for the cheapest price (around £69 return per adult, around £49 return per child).

    Thank you :)

    Would there be any restrictions on rides for DS who will be days off 13 when we are there? If I am with his sister they are going to want to try different things and she won't go on any of the extreme rides. Will he be allowed on them alone, whilst we wait?

    The rides are height restricted, so if he's tall enough, he'll be able to ride alone.

    At his age, there will be no ride he can't do alone (the maximum height restriction is 1.4m, I'm sure he's taller than that already). Some of the ride queues are worth seeing though, even if you don't want to ride, so if the queues aren't too bad, go with him through the queue for Tower of Terror and Rock n Rollercoaster - they are really well-themed and then you can tell the cast member at the ride boarding area that you don't want to ride. They will direct you to the correct exit to wait for your son.

    Sorry, I havent been to Disney since the children were into tea-cups and having photos taken with characters ( and have never been to DLP) so it all seems very new.

    Would they let DD into the queue to wait, even though she is under the height limit, is that quite common?

    Thanks for the tips, they are very welcome.

    your DD will be tall enough to meet the height restriction on almost every ride too, so it won't be a problem in the queues (I think Indiana Jones is the only one which is 1.4, because its a looping rollercoaster). Other rides are 1.2m and 1.0m heights. I think DLRPMagic has a full list of the rides and their height restrictions.

    Hi, I am looking for tickets to Disneyland Paris on Sunday 7th October, on ce multi avantages the tickets are only 35 euro but they are only valid until 30th Sept.

    When will they release tickets for Autumn/Winter? I am looking for one day 2 parks.

    I have used Tesco vouchers for tunnel and sun holidays for le chene gris and have disney tickets for sat from Sky. So far, this is a grand total of £90 for 6 of us.
    I would like to continue the saving and not pay much for an extra day at Disney
