    Hi Can someone tell me about Bufallo Bill wild west show, is it worth going to see? my daughter is 2 and 3/4

    its ok if you get cheap tickets - I think the food they serve is barely edible to be honest, not to my taste at all, but the show is great :).

    Thanks for the info, that's a fab deal, wow. I'm not getting anything near that even trying Santa Fe and Cheyenne.
    Eurostar is quite expensive then there would be getting to London to add on.
    Flying from Glasgow seemed quite a good deal as it isn't their holidays so prices where lower then English airports.
    Did you book via DLP Official site?

    your dates are half term, not only for England/Wales, but also for French school holidays. The price you're seeing for your onsite hotel and park tickets will reflect that. It will be busy too.

    Preferably yes school hols, but any other times will do too. thanks.

    so you have until next July to use your APs again? The quietest times are out of school holidays, and midweek (you can just about take your pick of when you want to go if its not in UK or French school holidays and you'll find a quiet DLP).

    If you need to go in school holidays, for the coming year avoid the last 2 weeks of October as all French schools are off then, and unfortunately next February is also French and UK school holidays at the same time.

    April holidays might work for you if they don't clash with the French school hols, and May half term, if you leave DLP before 29th May, would be good next year :).

    you can check French school holiday periods here -

    Hello,

    I am thinking of booking disneyland Paris for feb next year and just realised I can save £300 by booking eurostar direct. However does anyone know if you still get the Disney express luggage service?

    You know where they take your bags at the train station and deliver them to your hotel, we will be staying in Hotel New York if that makes a difference!

    yes, you can add Disney express if you book Eurostar separately from your Disney hotel - either both ways, at £16 per adult (kids free) - or, you can take your own luggage to the HNY on your check-in day, and then pay your hotel on your last day to take all your luggage back to the Eurostar luggage store for you, for only 11 euros total (ie not per person).

    I am thinking of going to Disneyland on 15th dec till 18th dec. I have found the eurostar plus hotel for 319 pounds. Is this the best deal? Also i am looking for tickets. Where would i find the cheapest ones? Thank you in advance.

    how much is it if you break it up into the Eurostar fare only, then look for a hotel for your party for 3 nights? How many days park tickets would you be looking for, and who are in your party (ie children, adults, ages of children).

    Hello. Hoping for a bit of advice on what ticket to buy.

    We have a cottage booked near DLP for a week in October (17th - 24th). The plan was to go for a couple of days to DLP during that time but I'm having trouble making sense of the various ticket options.

    I was planning on buying Billets Francilien at €39 each (for 2 adults and 2 children) for 2 days so in total €312. However, am I right in thinking I could get Fantasy annual passports from ce-multiadvantage for €340 (including the joining fee)? Do these tickets include the extra magic hours?

    yes, Fantasy APs give you access to EMH, regardless of where you are staying.


    That way if we wanted to do 3 short days or go really early one day we could. It just seems to be too good to be true so I just need confirmation that I'm not missing something.

    Also, am I right in thinking the dates we are going are French school holidays? Will it be very busy? Unfortunately dates are fixed by our school holidays so no options. However, if I am forewarned I can at least get into the right frame of mind.

    Thank you.

    yes, all French schools are on holiday from 19th October until 4th November this year, so it will be busy. However, your week will be the quieter of the 2 half term weeks, because the following week there will be loads more UK and European visitors.

    Ballet shoes - thanks for that.

    Looking at the blurb on the ce-multiadvantage web site for the annual fantasy pass it doesn't mention the extra magic hours. The info on the dlrpmagic website says the hours are applicable to the 20th anniversary fantasy pass. This is what I'd be buying isn't it? Sorry to be pedantic (attention to detail is one of my character traits)!

    Yes, thats what you'd be buying - thats the only version DLP has :).

    Thanks for the info. I didn't know the French would be off school too. I really need to go in school half term now with this new school ruling coming in. I maybe hold off until May or Oct.
    Thanks again
