its another 10 minutes or so walk from the Cheyenne to the Explorers - up through the Santa Fe buildings and up onto the main road, turn left at the filling station and walk to the end of the road. You'll see the associated hotels across the roundabout, the Explorers is the first one.

I use google translate for cemultiavantages.

There is a free shuttle bus if you dont want to walk!!

All back from Disneyland Paris.

One thing...have one of your party go for the Dream Annual Pass. We went with Fantasy as it fitted out requirements, but with Dream you get Free Pushchair, Free Cloakroom (drop your waterproofs off etc).

Push Chair Hire - €15
Cloakroom - €3 small, €6 med, €9 large

So you can see the €20 difference in pass price is taken up with one day of pushchair, and a morning of wet weather.

PS - Space Mountain 2 & Dumbo rides are out of action this week..

for November and on through Winter dates, it really depends what deals Disney is doing themselves, because Expedia sell the onsite hotels without park tickets very cheaply (ie cheaper than Disney themselves) for winter dates every year. Expedia's prices, once they are available, and based on last year's prices, are in the region of £65 per room per night (not per person), including breakfast but excluding park tickets, for midweek dates at the Cheyenne or Santa Fe.

Have a look at ebookers too for a similar deal to the Expedia one for onsite Disney hotels in winter - on another forum I saw someone getting really good prices there about a month ago for winter 2013/14.

You can get discounted park tickets or annual passes through promoparcs or cemultiavantages.

As I said, it really depends the size of your party, how long you want to go for, ages of the children etc etc.

Thanks , Ive been quoted £755 for 2 adults 2 children (6 & 1) flights, accomodation, park tickets for 4 nights 5 days in the santa fe , I can save around £40-£50 doing the flights seperate which leaves about £422 for the room with tickets, I will have a look splitting hotel and tickets but thought with this being for november xmas season it was quite good, thanks again for your reply

I have a bit more time now, so ill post up a bit more information.

We travelled down by car to Paris, taking the Eurotunnel. The train took 35mins, which was easily filled by trips to the toilet and a quick driver change. Once out the other side, it was about 194miles to go. Not a problem as the speed on the toll road is 135kmh. The fee for the toll road is €21.

We stayed at Le Ches Gris campsite which is about 20mins from the park near Prommes. Its okay, we did not eat from the bar/snack place. We used the swimming pool when our fantasy pass could not be used, and we drove into Paris (Notre Darm, Effiel Tower etc) which was 45mins away. We managed to find car parking at the end of the grass strip near the tower for €6.20 for 2hrs.

Drinks - Disneyland charges €3.20 for a bottle of coke, these are €1.00 from the local Carrefour supermarkets. Water was free from many of the fountains around the place, as the temperature was 26-28 degrees for Mon-Wed.

Food - Robbery, instead we took the walk out to McDonalds in the Disney Village. Even that was little more expensive than others outside the park, but its cheaper at €7.00 for a Big Mac Meal than €12.99 for similar inside the park.

Also..the long escalator under the road is still broken..

Changing your passes - They denied us free parking at the park and wanted to charge us €15 with no option of a refund before we had exchanged the passes. Instead we parked in the multistory car park next to the roundabout for about €3-4, walked up to the pass place then moved the car.

Cant think about anything else...but i prefer local uk smaller theme parks as you get smaller queues as 45mins for a 2min ride is a bit silly, though Fast Pass & Baby Swap helps..

PS - I really liked the Aerosmith Ride..a nice Rita launch into...............:)

Oh yeah..

There is also a Tesco Superstore in Ashford just off the M20. We stocked up on stuff before the train.

Diesel was €1.30 in the french supermarkets.

in August you won't need 5 or 6 days at Disneyland Paris - the parks are open from 8am until 11.30pm every night . In August I'd do 3 days at the most if you can do 3 full days or near enough that. If you are driving there are loads of hotels/apartments for 4 near DLP, try val d'europe or bussy st george, on various websites like travelrepublic, expedia, hotels.com, alpharooms etc etc.

For park tickets, try cemultiavantages or promoparcs for either fantasy annual passes (as there are no blockout dates on those in August at all) if you are going for 3 days at least, or on cemultiavantages there is also a 2-day consecutive use ticket for 59 euros each.

Hi Everyone. Right Im taking my parents to Disney as a thank you for paying for most of our wedding. It's a secret so they don't know yet.

We are going 13th -15th November. Ive already booked the Eurostar tickets, but looking for accommodation and tickets. The disney deal at the moment is no good for us as only going 2 nights. I need to make it as cheap as possible.

So far I've booked a free cancellation room at Kyraid for £260 for 2 rooms.

Now I see for same price I could get Cheyenne or Sante Fe which also includes breakfast.

Then we would get annual passes at least for me and my fianc! and see if any park ticket deals come up for my parents if not also annual passes for them.

This all together would be around £700 so £350 per couple.

Does anyone think we will get this any cheaper direct on a better deal or is this the cheapest it will be?

What do people think?
