Disneyland Paris/EuroDisney - Questions & Answers

gdulka

Hello everyone,

This year I decided to take my little sister to Disneyland, it's going to be a surprise. Two years ago I had to move to London to start uni and therefore I really want to spend with her such girly holidays in Disneyland. :T
However, I've been researching Disney deals and they seem to have family rooms only. So basically I have to partially pay for people that don't stay in a room, crazy!
As a student I cannot afford to pay 890 pounds for two of us... Does anyone know how I can find a room for two? We're planning to go 1st -5th July..

Thank you a lot in advance!

Hi

i've been to Disneyland Paris every year for the last 9yrs with my family, and always used Tesco Clubcard Deals until they stopped doing it. I worried how I would console the kids with the thought that we wouldn't be able to aford it if we had to pay with our own cash..... until I discovered this lady...

she was fantastic, and worked out the perfect deal to suit our needs
i hope she can help you too:T

if you need any further advice, after 9yrs there, i'm kind of an expert on the does and don'ts !!

good luck

have a little read of this forum thread before you go also:

Hi there

We go to Disneyland Paris once ever year.

Here are my tips for saving money and still enjoying yourselves:

Travel by Car if you can, via Eurotunnel.
Then pay for your Eurotunnel tickets with Tesco Vouchers.

Load your boot of your car up with drinks, snacks, crisps etc... Then take a lightweight rucksack with bits in to the Park each day. Buying stuff like this inside the Parks is a real rip-off, and you know the kids always want something!

If staying at a Disney Hotel, stay at Cheyenne or Santa Fe (Cheyenne is slightly better)
No point in paying extra for better rated Hotel that has more facilities like swimming pools etc... if you are going to be at the Parks all day long.
Cheyenne is just a very pleasant 15min walk to the Parks, or 2min free bus ride.

For lunch, grab some baguettes from the Marne la Valee Station on your way past it to the Parks. Very nice and much cheaper than the rubbish in the Parks. Stick them in your handy rucksack until lunchtime!

For Dinner, if you must eat in the Restaurants in Disney Village, they are all very expensive, but go for Mickey Cafe everytime. Its the same high prices as RainForest Cafe and Planet Hollywood, but the kids get the added bonus of the Characters coming to the table for autographs and photos. Plus a free drinks cup to take home.

Hope these help
Regards

I take it this price is booking through the official Disney site? Have a look at booking via Expedia (not sure if the search in that link will remain) for the same Disney hotels can be cheaper and while they don't include the park tickets you can buy them separately through somewhere like http://www.themeparkticketsdirect.com/ where you can buy a 4 days for the price of 3 Hopper Ticket for the dates you want for £88 each.

Alternatively have a look at the hotels offsite of Disney as they can also be cheaper and some will have courtesy buses but its not quite as close or easy for some of them as it is staying at the onsite Disney hotels.

What a lovely gesture to take your sister there and I hope you have a great time!

for anyone who is interested you can still use your tesco clubcard deals to go to disneyland paris.
i have just booked to go in october with airmiles.
i had to use £350 of clubcard vouchers which took me 18 months to save!!
the reservation is for 2 adults and 2 children.i have got flights(birmingham airport) hotel stay(hotel cheyenne)for 4days/3nights all passes included a character breakfast and travel insurance.
i know its not that good value as you could of converted clubcard vouchers for deals rather than airmiles and would of got £1400 and i know you can go to disney cheaper than that.
however i am rubbish at saving money so this was ideal for me and to think i havent paid a penny in cash is great.
just cant wait to go but finding it VERY hard not to tell the children as its a surprise!!
