yes, at the onsite hotels you get allocated breakfast slots for your hotel breakfasts. It doesn't matter what slot you get though if you want to have an early breakfast before EMH (ie before 7.30am) because thats the quietest time in the restaurants and no matter what your timeslot is you'll be seated no problem at that time of the morning.

Ah! Brill, thanks for that. :j

I notice the Quidco 5.5% offer on DLP bookings ends in 4 days. Anyone any idea if this is offered frequently? I'm not ready to book yet - waiting (hopefully) for some better offers for May!

Hi there - and thanks again Balletshoes!

Its 3rd March for 3 nights - 2 Adults and a 3 year old.

I have been in bed with a sick bug all day, was worried I am going to miss the 40% off so came down to have a quick look. I am so tempted to book the Disney Hotel - I know its really expensive but this is probably the only time we will ever go to Euro Disney.

Perhaps I am just deluded due to the Bug!!

Do you think it is worth the extra? Have you stayed in it before?

Thanks again

hi just after a bit of advice please.
hoping to take my kids (2 & 7), myself and hubby.
basically our first thought was to go as cheap as poss but stay in a disney hotel and probably best option eurostar for transport.
so fiddled with dates / amount of days
and the best bet for us seems to be sometime during the 1st two weeks of march
but checked and this is during the french school hols, so basically I'd like people's opinions would this make any difference, or should I pay an extra £250 to go a week or two later? What would you do?
thanks for any advice.

Oh Boy!

It looks like I have booked during the French School Holidays!
Nevermimd - I guess its just a case of weighing it all up - cheaper Eurostar, and getting the 40% off deal for the Hotel.

personally, I don't spend a lot to get and stay at DLP, because I'm not in the hotel enough to warrant the price of the higher starred hotels. In March the parks aren't likely to be open much past 8pm at the latest for your dates, so I wouldn't imagine you'll feel the need to be back at your hotel for a break in the middle of the day.

The UK and Irish site aren't the best price at the moment, because its only 40% off the higher starred hotels for a 3-night stay. However, I checked on the French version of the Disney site, and you get the full 40% off all the onsite hotels for your dates ie total price for hotel/park tickets/breakfast at the Santa Fe or Cheyenne 378 euros (around £310), Sequoia Lodge (very nice hotel which has just been refurbed in all the rooms) 492 euros (around £400), and the Disneyland Hotel 1064 euros (around £875).

Have a look on Expedia too though.

Many thanks Balletshoes, Im leaning towards the Sequoia Lodge, and what you said makes a lot of sense with regards to the expensive hotel.<br>Is it all ok to book via the French site and have I made a huge mistake going when the French Schools are on Holidays???<br><br>Thanks<br>

I don't know - have you tried clearing your cookies? Are you using a laptop or an iphone/ipad/tablet? The site appears to be working okay for me on my laptop. Its fine to use the French site to book your holiday, all your hotel confirmation comes to your email address, regardless of which country's website you use.

It won't be quiet as you're there at the same time that the Parisien schools are on holiday - but it won't be summer school holiday busy, so with a little planning you'll still get to see and do everything your little princess would like .
