    Hi everyone, can I ask has anyone booked a Disney trip with Euro Disney Direct.com? they seem to be the cheapest for the dates I'm looking for.

    Also how much time would you give between landing and booking the fast train (can't remember name sorry) we land at 9.15pm train is at 10.00pm or 11pm.

    For 1 adult and 2 children I've come in at £502.20 excluding transfers for beginning of march is this good it's for 4 nights 5 days we lose the first day because of flight times, staying in the Santa fe.

    Cheers

    How old are your children, and is that price giving you the maximum 40% discount available? You might be able to get the price down a little more by choosing a different room type (ie not rio grande, just a standard room).

    You should leave one hour between the landing time of your plane and getting to the TGV train station inside CDG. For 3 of you it might be just as cheap (and will be quicker) taking a shared shuttle with RStransports.

    My children will be 6 & 8, on the site I mentioned it is £274 for 4 to 8 march, on Disney site it was £330, for standard room.

    I have checked RStransports and they want €45 or €50 can't work out which price it is!!

    I checked Disney site and they didn't give me an option of different rooms.

    thats odd, I've just done a quote on the official Disney site and its given me a price of £276 for you all (it did let me change the room type too, was originally £300).

    you get 2 prices from rstransport, depending on whether you want to pay in advance using a debit/credit card, or if you want to wait and pay in cash to the driver.

  • Hi
    Im planning on booking to go to EuroDisney mid May, 2 adults and 1 child. Hoping that the free days offers will be announced for those at some point. I understand that if I book the eurostar myself its about half the price, slightly nervous about doing this though without booking the hotel, just incase I cant get the same dates. Am I being silly is it perfectly normal to book the 2 separate and then when the better offers come along for the Hotel book that?

    yes, perfectly normal. I never book my travel to DLP and my hotel at the same time, its usually months apart ;).

    If you want the best price for the Eurostar, book it now (these prices will only go up the later you leave it). May isn't a particularly cheap time to go to DLP, even with discount offers, but hopefully a deal will come up for you which suits your pocket. Avoid a Friday or Saturday check-in date for the first night of your trip to DLP, as those days are the most expensive price band, regardless of what time of year you stay at DLP.

    Thank you balletshoes, do you buy the standard non flexable ones?
