    Thank you, seems lot cheaper than I expected! There's a little white train that stops at sequoia lodge, I read on someone's review it costs 2 euros each, where does it go?! X

    it just goes around the lake - you can pick it up at the Village near Cafe Mickey, or at the hotels around the lakeside (Newport Bay Club, Sequoia Lodge and Hotel New York).

    Hi all,
    thoroughly enjoyed reading through all the great suggestions in the thread. I've spent a whole evening on this so far. I'm looking to take a trip to DLP for 2 nights early may for our birthdays! It would be super great to do, but obviously i've been hunting for the best price. If anyone can give me any pointers for current offers i would really appreciate it.

    Dates for travel: 2nd may (2 nights)
    Accomo: Any disney hotel that has a free shuttle and breakfast :)
    Ideally i'd like to go via. eurostar.
    Then just standard park tickets and a whole heap of fun!

    Thanks to anyone that takes the time to have a look for me. Much appreciated!!

    do you mean babyswitch? I can't imagine that would be any quicker than a whole family who are able and willing to ride together - because you can't do any babyswitching until you've all queued in either the regular queue for the ride, or have a timed fastpass for the ride.

    Hi,
    Re the Eurostar, the rate would be 120GBP each return for adults. I dont know if there are any children..
    Hotelwise, Disney are doing good discounts on the Newport Bay and the Santa Fe over those dates. Example Santa Fe 498GBP for 2 adults and Newport Bay 549.00GBP for 2 adults. With park entry for 3 days and breakfast. Children under 12 stay and play free but you would need to pay for the Eurostar. If you give the kids ages, I can tell you the price.
    If you are willing to consider indirect Eurostar for the outbound, and direct for the return, it is 85GBP per adult return!

    For those prices..i wouldnt consider staying offsite but i can give you some suggestions if you prefer something offsite. :)
    Happy :)

    Sorry yes I mean baby switch.my frnd said something like she used to queue while her hubby took his son for other rides and when she reached her turn her husband would drop the son from the exit side by showing the card. I don't mean to sound silly but I am only quoting what I am told .is there anything like that ?

    kind of - but you're still not riding the rides together, so although their son would have done all the rides that way, only one of the parents would? They are not timed tickets either, the babyswitch ones, so whichever parent takes the child away to do other rides then comes back, would have to be back at the exit area before the other parent who is in the queue gets to the loading area of the ride.

    You can also only take one child on the ride with you from the exit using babyswitch. Babyswitch might work well doing it this way if you're there at a busy time of year and you only have one child who wants to/is tall enough to ride.

    There would be no point in doing babyswitch for rides where you can get a fastpass ticket.

    Im a bit confused with booking a fantasy pass through promo parcs or CEmultiavantages?? What do I need to do before booking and how do the tickets work? Do i have to go somewhere to pick them up?!
    Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping !!

    You book and pay for them online including postage cost. temporary APs are sent to your home address. on your first day at DLP you take your temp Aps and your passports to the AP office inside the main park where you will get your permanent laminated APs.
