    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Hi
    I didnt mean to scare you as we felt very safe, there was a buggy and my friend had a changing bag taken from outside the ride but I don't think it's common. Just be sensible there isn't staff around as most of the buggy parks are either outside and the rides inside or away from staff as queue areas are quite long.

    You may have a lot to carry but I also carried a travel potty in my rucksack with 3 year old twins it was really handy. If we queued for a while we didn't have to come out the queue if they needed the toilet. We stood around and Covered them with a coat.

    Xx
  • oooh travel potty - that is a good idea xx

    I don't think the 99euro passes will be of any use to you, as those are Francillien, which means that you can use them on your first day in the park, but then you can't use them for park entry at all on your 2nd and 3rd day.
    Fantasy pass is 119 euros, doesn't have this 2-day bar on the tickets, and as long as you are not going on a Fantasy Pass blackout date (check DLRPMagic for their excellent information on annual passes) you can use the Fantasy Pass for park entry every day of your trip.

    A temporary pass ticket is sent to you in the mail one you've bought them (seems to be taking less than a week to reach your address in the UK once you've bought them). Then you exchange this ticket for your permanent laminated annual pass on your first day at DLP (remember you'll need your passports to do this at the annual pass office inside the park).

    The free annual passes for children aged between 3 and 6 are sent to you at the same time as you adult ones, you should get an email once you've bought the adult ones, asking you how many free child's ones you require.

    November has the 2nights free deal when you book 2 nights onsite through the official Disneyland Paris site, so if you were planning to go for 4nights/5days this equals 50% off, you won't get a much better price than that really. Remember to plan for after 11th November, because until then from the end of October all French schools are on holiday, so the parks will be very busy.

  • Thanks very much for the info on the Francillien- it was really helpful- and you just saved me 200 euros!! I will book the fantasy passes now.

    right here goes budget keepers what do you think- Disney on a shoestring:-

    3 nights at four vents camping site approx £85
    2 adult annual passes £200 from ce-multiavantages
    one child age 3 goes free with one of our passes
    the other one is age 7 on the first day so has a free birthday pass for first day, 30 euros for second day, day pass (it is a thursday)
    ferry crossing £19.50 out there (going on a day return pass but not coming back on it)

    How much spending money do you think we need?

    sounds great dreammum :).

    If you're driving and camping, takes lots of cereal bars, fruit, cookies, crisps etc with you. You can take food and drinks into the DLP parks with you, so you can make up a packed lunch, and take a bottle of dilute juice to make up plenty of drinks (there are water fountains in the parks to fill up your bottles).

    Theres an Earl of Sandwich and McDonalds in the Village area (right next to the parks) which will be your cheapest options for hot food. Next are the counter service options in both parks (around 10 euros for an adult meal deal, 6 euros for a childs) then table/buffet service meals start at around 20 euros per adult, 9 euros per child, and upwards from there.

    All souvenirs in DLP are pretty expensive, so I'd take some surprises for your kids with you and let them have a surprise per day from your stash ;). You can get some pocket money items at DLP if you look, pens, hair stuff, some of the little replica guns, keyrings, magnets etc are not too bad (around 3 euros upwards). Autograph book is a good idea, and chunky pen.

    What is the cheapest way to get tickets? We're going from the 22nd to the 25th November this year and I was wondering if it was better to buy tickets before going or buy them on the gate when we get there.

    Thanks
