    We're booked to go at the end of August. We're staying at Davy Crockett and driving over. Does anyone know what Davy Crockett is like? Also, how long does the drive take from Calais roughly?

    I've never stayed at the DCR, but you might get some specific information here -

    I believe the drive from Calais to DLP is around 3 hours.

    Don't bother going to Paris. We went to florida and went direct to Villa Direct and they have special deals we got the whole villa for 2 weeks 6 bed for £900. Much cheaper than going to Paris

    How much were the flights ?

    Have you had a look at booking the Eurostar separately yourself?

    If you can check in on 13th Feb, I can see the DLH for £874 total for you all for 4 nights/5 days on the official DLP site. From 14th on through your possible dates its more expensive because its the weekend and then its half term week proper.

    Thank you so much for quick reply. Ballet shoes is it the cheapest I can get for Disneyland hotel right ? What do you think ? If yes then I will go ahead and book it.also can u look for the cheapest flight from East Midlands or Birmingham please as I tried but coming out expensive.thank you soo much again for all the help.regards Zunaira

    yes, £874 for 4 nights is the cheapest you will get at any time of the year for the Disneyland Hotel :).

    I don't find any of the carriers from the Midlands cheap to CDG - can you drive to Luton and use Easyjet from there? Their flights for your dates, early morning out and early evening back, including one hold bag, is just under £300 total, so a fairly cheap price to that journey. We usually stay at a Luton travelodge the night before an early flight out of Luton airport.

    Right..were getting there..

    Ferry - £90 or £110 Tunnel.
    Fuel (400mile each way) - £80-120
    Tickets (2x Adult, 2x Children, 1x Infant - Fantasy) - £264

    We did look at the train all the way, buts its £400+, so its the car..

    Now to sort the accommodation, we did think about camping for €40 a night, there was a campsite 5miles down the road. There is one day that we cannot enter the park, which we could have a day-trip into Paris on that day.

    Camping.. <<Linky>>


    Any tips on the accommodation? Will be for 2 Adults & 3 Children.

    We stayed at Jablines in our motorhome at the end of a 3 week tour at Easter. Its a fantastic park, theres loads to do there for kids on your day off. Massive park attatched to the lake, football, tennis, table tennis, crazy golf, the lake.

    Hi All

    I'm part of a group going to Eurodisney with 8-14 year olds over the summer hols for 3 days.

    I've been reading this site and I've made the following notes:

    Some hotels don't have tea making facilities
    No chemist on site
    Take a water bottle
    Take a lunch box so the food you get at breakfast is protected better than in napkins
    There are free water fountains
    Take colouring packs for the airport
    Should I take a couple of packs of cards?

    Does anyone have any hints, tips or tricks to make this trip amazing and fun.

    Many thanks

    PS everything is booked and we are on site so just looking for pointers to make things that bit more special - hope that makes sense!
