    Yep, sorry the davy crockett... is there a hotel that would accomadate us in one room?
    I dont want to have to cook so am happy to pay for the half board option if thats the cheapest way to do it?
    This includes a kids under 7 play for free and 2 nights for the price of 4...
  • How quiet is the park in Feb? I'm just looking at prices and our youngest won't be 3 then so would be cheaper for that reason as well as it been the cheapest school holiday time to go as well.

    I know I've read that sometimes not all the park is open, is this a likely thing? I don't want to go then if they are going to miss out on a lot but if its just likely to be the odd things then we will probably go for Feb.

    Also do they still have the characters about as I've read mixed things about this as well.

    Thanks

    :)

    yes they still have the Princesses, characters, character meals etc in February. All the parks are open, but there may be a couple of rides down for refurb (this happens all through the year at DLP, not just in Feb).

    Check French school holidays, if they don't co-incide with your trip dates, it will be quiet.

    how old will your children be when you intend going?

    half board doesn't save you money, so I honestly wouldn't go with half board.

    Thanks Taplledraw, can I ask which hotel you booked? And how long did the drive take you from Calais? Thanks

    sorry for the delay not been on here. We used Avios for eurostar rather than eurotunnel this time although I have driven before I cant remember how long the drive took and we always stop at the lareg supermarket at Marne Le Valee on the way if we drive. The hotel was at Montevrain with the benefit of a kitchenette and a free shuttle to both the designer village ( walk through and find the supermarket) and DLP

    yep - do it all separately :).

    Eurostar fares aren't out yet direct from Eurostar, so keep checking their website and book as soon as the fares become available.

    Book the hotel through another website like travelrepublic, expedia, alpharooms, etc etc

    annual passes can be had from cemultiavantages instead of park tickets, and their current offer is discounted rate passes and buy one child's pass of the same type (for children aged under 12) for 35 euros for each over-12s pass you buy. Fantasy annual passes are the passes for you - have a look on DLRPMagic for their advantages and discounts, compared with normal park tickets.

    insurance obviously you can pick up yourself, you don't have to go through Disney.

    and there are always cheap Buffalo Bills tickets out there, usually around the 40 euros mark, sometimes less.

  • They have also a disneyland price comparison tool. It is called booking.com

    you then enter in the field disneyland and you get the list of all hotels with prices & services.

    Hi,

    Just double checking the annual pass situation.

    We are going as 2 adults and 4 kids, ages 12,10,9 and 6.
    I'm thinking of getting 3 'adults passes' at 105 euros, and 3 kid passes at the 35 euro offer - totaling 420 euros (plus registration fee) - from the cemultiadvantages site

    This seems quite a good offer for us if I'm understanding things correctly.
