Adagio Marne la Vall!e Val D'Europe seems to be a bit far, was hoping for a shuttle bus to the park.
The Radison Blu offers it but they dont accept more than 4 per room :-(

the adagio has a free shuttle - it shares the shuttle with the L'elysee hotel.

on travelrepublic the Magic Circus looked like a possibility too?

no idea what the difference is between a kids suite and a family room, except on travelrepublic you can fit 2 adults and 3 kids in a kids suite (I think I'd probably phone the hotel first to check that though before booking).

Want to see the night shows
So I guess if we want to see we have to pay

What do you guys do while waiting for the night time show? are rides still open? do you have to be inside the park at a certain time or can you enter the park at half nine? thanks

you can enter the park any time up to a few minutes before the official park closing time. But I never leave to be honest, as all the rides all over the park, except the ones in Fantasyland near the Castle, are open right up til official park closing time. If you want a good view of Dreams show, you will need to be in front of the Castle about 15 minutes (on a quiet night) before the show is due to begin.

Not sure if anyone can help as no-one has a crystal ball (as far as I know!) but we are looking to go away just before half term at the end of Oct.

We have already booked Eurostar tickets but were hoping for 50% the hotel room - ideally NewYork. However just as the 50% off was getting to near my dates they have started 40% off until the end of September - not sure whether to just go with this or risk it until October.

Can anyone remember what they have done in the past? No sure if this is usual as its our first trip and theres 3 couples plus children going.

Thanks for any help.

Hi all,

I've spent hours reading through this thread and have made plenty of notes along the way. There's so much good advice and I take my hat off to all who have contributed. Based on what I've read, I've made a rough plan for a trip from 02-04 Jan 2013. The 2nd being my oh birthday and my boy turns 3 in October so decided its a good time to take him as he is Disney mad . This will be my first visit to a Disney resort, my wife has been to Florida but its her first time at DLRP so my plan has been made entirely from what I have read in this thread

Originally, I guess I would of just gone through a travel agent but as time is on my side and I have found this thread my plan is as follows.

Driving in my trusty Honda (Keith) will require two full tanks
£150ish *dependent on Cameron

Channel tunnel. Tesco clubcard vouchers. Thank you all for bringing this to my attention. I seem to spend half of my life in Tesco so this was winning news. I have literally memorised every isle of my local store. The first time took me around a year of regular visits then they randomly decided to completely change everything around. This enraged me a little, but I didn't fuss, just adapted and learnt the new system. For this loyalty I've always felt they owed me something.Thankyou Tesco. Mum and dad have our spare clubcard and are using it too bless them.

I noticed Balletshoes recently posted about purchasing annual passes on Promoparcs. On my phone I can't get the app to switch language.
For two adults passes with the emh etc Is €318 with a free pass for my lad. So, when would be the best time for me to buy these? And how long will the offer stand on the Promoparcs site?

For Hotels so far I've looked at Kyriad which I can book now at £180 for two nights. Magic circus and Dream castle are around £230. Again, are these better to be booked now or can I wait till Nov/Dec to book for a similar price?

So, for annual passes and hotel I'd be paying around £500 rather than going through Disney and getting the same hotel and park passes without emh for around £700. Is this plausible or am I missing anything? Also, how much are these prices going to differ booking nearer the time, as in going through Disney or booking the hotel direct?

Fuel 150
Tolls 30ish?
Annual Passes 300
Hotel 230
Then food, drinks and merchandise etc

My budget is £2000 but if this all goes to plan that could be more than enough I hope lol.

Last thing, we know it will be busy On these dates but are hoping the new year madness will have calmed a little and the Disney calendar states that the 4th Jan is low season if I remember rightly? Anyone been around these dates. The plan is to go into the park on the day we arrive, then studios the next for full day, then full day in the park. Good plan or do it the other way around?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the help everyone! I ordered the Fantasy tickets off CE Multiavantages yesterday, does anyone who's used them before know how long it will take for tickets to get here? It's lucky I did French at university or I probably would've been a bit confused hah. Really looking forward to the trip now!

By the way, has anyone on here used the Radisson before? I get cheaper rooms through work which is why we're staying there but the only downside seems to be the transport to/from the parks.

Hi, I couldn't help but reply to this, in order to help a fellow MSE'r out . . . .
I went to Euro Disney this Jan on 9th for 3 nights & 4 days, 2 adults & 2 children stayed in Hotel Cheyenne, flew with Easyjet from Bristol to CDG & had transfer with private taxi . . . Total cost for myself and my daughter £380. I was looking at your cost breakdown and thought I may share this with you if it helps. At the moment Euro Disney official website has a deal on for booking winter 2012/13 breaks , and they are very cheap, flights on Easyjet are showing around £24.00 to £39.99 depending on travel . . . It maybe worth while looking at these options, and yor budget of £2000 will be much cheaper!!!!!;)
